Adak33 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 This Archetype was inspired by a single idea: What if there was a fusion monster that listed itself as a material? The whole thing sort of evolved from that: an archetype of ethereal ghosts that pave the way for their dark masters. Technically speaking I suppose this would be a pair of intertwined archetypes: The maindeck "Traversal" cards and the extra deck "Ex-Traverse" monsters. The most important "Traversal" card is probably this one: [spoiler=Traversal Keystone] Traversal Keystone Light/1/Fairy/Effect 0/0 So long as you control an "Ex-Traverse" fusion monster, this card cannot be targeted for attacks or by card effects. Once per turn, on either player's turn, you may Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or your side of the field as Fusion Materials. If there are no Fusion Monsters in your field or graveyard, you may use monsters from your extra deck as materials as well.[/spoiler] Which lets you fusion summon using monsters in your extra deck as materials -- but only if there are no fusions on your field or in the grave. Once you get the ball rolling (Though you can use Instant Fusion or such for similar results), you have to rely on your hand, field, and grave from there. While Keystone is a level 1 light monster, the rest of the "Traversal" monsters are Level 2 and wind, which is part of why I'm listing them separately below. Each of the other Traversal Monsters has a search effect when normal or flip summoned (But not when special summoned, which is important as two of them special summon themselves) and have another effect that activates when they're sent to the graveyard for a fusion:[spoiler=Traversal Monsters] Traversal Wayfinder Wind/2/Zombie/Effect 0/800 When this Monster is normal or flip-summoned, you may add 1 "Traversal" monster from your deck to your hand. When this monster is sent to the graveyard as a material for a fusion summon, you may pay 500 life points. If you do, special summon this monster from your graveyard. Traversal Waycutter Wind/2/Zombie/Effect 800/0 When this Monster is normal or flip-summoned, you may add 1 "Traversal" spell or trap from your deck to your hand. When this monster is sent to the graveyard as a material for a fusion summon, you may pay 500 life points. If you do, special summon this monster from your graveyard. Traversal Formshaper Wind/2/Zombie/Effect 400/0 When this Monster is normal or flip-summoned, you may special summon one "Traversal" monster from your deck. When this monster is sent to the graveyard as a material for a fusion summon, you may pay 300 life points. If you do, banish this monster from your graveyard and draw a card. Traversal Mindshaper Wind/2/Zombie/Effect 0/400[/spoiler] Also providing support are, obviously, "Traversal" spell and trap cards:[spoiler=Traversal spells and traps] Traversal of Fate Continuous Trap Whenever a Fusion Monster you control leaves the field, you may special summon, from your hand, graveyard, or extra deck, a monster listed on that card as a fusion material. Polarity Traversal Counter Trap When your opponent would summon a monster from their extra deck: Pay 2500 LP; negate the Summon, and if you do, destroy that card and special summon one "Ex-Traverse" monster from your extra deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) It loses all abilities, and is destroyed during the end phase. Sudden Traversal Trap Activate this card by paying 600 life points and targeting 1 "Ex-Traverse" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in defense Position. You may then pay an additional 600 life points to fusion summon a fusion monster from your extra deck, using that target and cards in your hand as materials. Role Traversal Continuous Spell When you activate this card, you may pay 600 life points. If you do, you may add a "Traversal" card from your deck to your hand. When fusion summoning an "Ex-Traverse" monster, other than "Ex-Traverse Rear Guard," that has exactly two monsters listed as its fusion materials, you may substitute a WIND-attribute "Traversal" or "Ex-Traverse" monster you control for one of the listed materials, except for "Ex-Traverse Vanguard."[/spoiler] And lastly of course are the "Ex-Traverse" monsters themselves. The key monster for here is "Ex-Traverse Vanguard," which the majority of "Ex-Traverse" monsters list as a fusion material -- including Vanguard itself.[spoiler=Ex-Traverse Monsters] Ex-Traverse Vanguard Dark/5/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 2000/2000 "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" + 1 WIND Monster When a Monster is fusion summoned: You may immediately perform another Fusion Summon, using this Monster and any number of monsters from your hand as fusion materials. If this monster is in your graveyard, you may pay 800 life points to return it to the extra deck. You may only use one "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" ability per turn, and only once per turn. Ex-Traverse Siege Defender Dark/6/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 0/2800 "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" + "Traversal Formshaper" Whenever an "Ex-Traverse" monster you control attacks, your opponent cannot activate cards or card effects until the end of the damage step. Ex-Traverse End Meister Dark/7/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 2200/2600 "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" + "Traversal Wayfinder" When this card is fusion summoned: You may banish up to three monsters from your graveyard, then destroy that many cards on the field. Ex-Traverse Battle Knight Dark/7/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 2600/2200 "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" + "Traversal Mindshaper" Banish a "Traversal" card from your hand or Trap Zone: this card can attack an additional time this battle phase, but cannot attack your opponent directly this turn. Ex-Traverse Shock Soldier Dark/6/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 2200/600 "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" + "Traversal Waycutter" Once per turn as a quick action, you may discard any number of "Traversal" cards from your hand to have this card gain 800 attack until the end phase for each card discarded this way. Dark/6/Fairy/Fusion/Effect 2400/2400 "Emblem of the Ex-Traverse" + 1 "Ex-Traverse" Fusion Monster "Ex-Traverse Vanguard" cannot be used as a material for this card's fusion summon. If an "Ex-Traverse" monster you control attacks or is attacked, you may target it; during damage calculation: Banish any number of "Ex-Traverse" or "Traversal" monsters from your field or graveyard; that target gains 500 attack and defense until the end of the battle phase for each card banished this way. Emblem of the Ex-Traverse Wind/2/Rock/xyz/effect 1200/1200 2 or more (Max. 5) level 2 Monsters When this monster is sent to the graveyard as a material for a fusion summon, you may special summon from your graveyard any number of monsters that were attached to it as xyz materials. Once per turn, you may detach an xyz material from this card; return one "Traversal" or "Ex-Traverse" card in your graveyard to the hand.[/spoiler] . So there you have it: My "Traversal" and "Ex-Traverse" cards. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
