I agree, "Necloth" looks and sounds better than "Nekroz" or whatever they got called on TCG.

 

It's good to see that you followed the Level and type patterns of them: Multiples of 2 are Spellcaster, and 5s are Dragon. Also how Level7+ Necloth Rituals have combat and/or protection hand-trap effects, while the Level 6- more or less have consistency or card advantage effects.

You only picked Necloths from Fableds, I wonder why.

 

Leviathan:

The piercing hand-trap effect is kinda lame, although it can help with finishing games. But the other effect makes it up for it. I have no experience with playing Necloths, but I can tell they can banish often, and retrieving 3 of their banished cards is huge, and perhaps a bit too good. It is a bit slow because it needs to hit the grave first, but it is reliable since it won't miss the timing and will trigger in any way the opponent sends it to the graveyard.

 

Kudabbi:

The discard effect complements Necloths of Brionac and Unicore. As a Level 4 is comes with the perk of using that Herald Synchro as Ritual Material with Kaleidomirror. The on-field effect turns it into a decent wall, but I'm not sure if Necloths would be interested on it when they could Summon Unicore instead for the stun effect. To be fair, it can stop Qlips from OTKs, so I guess it should be handy as a 1-of. Actually, I believe Unicore would turn all Pendulum Summoned Qlips into the beaters they truly are, so definitely Kudabbi would be the go-to Level4 Necloth Ritual vs. Qliphorts.

 

Ragin:

Discard effect thins the deck and sets Necloths up in the grave; simple but effective. The on-field effect is virtually the same as original Ragin, and further speeds up the deck. Yeah, card has "speed" all written over it. The card is not exactly bad, bit feels bland when both effects involve drawing cards. I think you could spice things up somehow, perhaps by involving "Necloths" or monsters summoned from the Extra Deck in the on-field effect.

That is indeed what the TCG called them. I have no idea why, but I do know I'm gonna stick to the OCG name.

I don't just go and make cards willy-nilly, I research the meaning behind the theme and (in a lot of cases) have to come up with OCG AND TCG names, doing all the research that entails. I chose Fableds because they were an archetype the Deck has already invoked; notice how all Armors are Ice Barrier, Fabled or AOJ thus far. I'm assuming there's a reason behind that, and sticking with that to be safe.

 

Leviathan:

The piercing hand-trap effect is kinda lame, although it can help with finishing games. But the other effect makes it up for it. I have no experience with playing Necloths, but I can tell they can banish often, and retrieving 3 of their banished cards is huge, and perhaps a bit too good.

With Decisive Armor already giving a boost effect to Monsters, I felt something like ATK-dropping was redundant, and with Trish and Gungnir covering targeting and destruction that didn't leave me much to work with. And yes, the effect is powerful, but it's also passive since your opponent has to trigger it for you, and requires you to have set everything up first.

 

Kudabbi:

The discard effect complements Necloths of Brionac and Unicore. As a Level 4 is comes with the perk of using that Herald Synchro as Ritual Material with Kaleidomirror. The on-field effect turns it into a decent wall, but I'm not sure if Necloths would be interested on it when they could Summon Unicore instead for the stun effect.

Actually, I believe Unicore would turn all Pendulum Summoned Qlips into the beaters they truly are, so definitely Kudabbi would be the go-to Level4 Necloth Ritual vs. Qliphorts.

 

Bingo. Unicore is a liability against Qliphorts, so this with protection from a Trish prevents OTKs. 

 

Ragin:

Discard effect thins the deck and sets Necloths up in the grave; simple but effective. The on-field effect is virtually the same as original Ragin, and further speeds up the deck. Yeah, card has "speed" all written over it. The card is not exactly bad, bit feels bland when both effects involve drawing cards. I think you could spice things up somehow, perhaps by involving "Necloths" or monsters summoned from the Extra Deck in the on-field effect.

 

Exactly, this guy is meant for speed and speed alone. Well, that and a replacement for Catastor, whom nobody seems to like. That's a nice suggestion, but I'm having trouble coming up with a good one off the top of my head. Did you have one?

[Darj]

Perhaps drawing a card for each monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck the opponent controls? It would be crazy if you drop this while they control 3+ of those monsters, though. Or it could work as an on-field Maxx C and punish the opponent for each ED Special Summon they drop. I don't know, just throwing out ideas.
