Dragunity Sjambok

[Cryxok]

Welcome to "Cryxok's New Support for Forgotten Decks"!
Episode I: Dragunity

 

Hi everyone! In this forums I intend to share cards I create to support decks with little support in an attempt to make them meta. My guidelines are simple, in order for me to tackle a given archetype it must have less than 25 monster members (Including Extra) and less than 40 cards overall. I'm limited with those same amounts, which means that if a given Archetype has 23 monster members (like the Dragunities I'm doing right now) I can only make 2 more. Also, I won't make more than 5 cards for any given deck. 

 

Once I choose the deck I want to support, I'll make cards with effects that seem "reasonably" good to me, while trying to fit into the Archetype's lore and playing style. I'll make the drawings myself, even tho I'm no artist I can make something look "decent" I think.

 

Today I'll show you my first card: Dragunity Sjambok. 

 

Dragunities is one of my favorite archetypes and I fell in love with them as soon as I saw them. I used Dragunities for a long time and the prohibition of "Dragon Ravine" almost made me retire from the TCG. When they announced The Spear of Destiny I was so excited for new support, imagine my disappointment when I saw that was the only new card. 

 

So my first set of cards (4 in fact) is meant to support them. I already have the 4 cards but I've only drawn Sjambok, so I'll show the other 3 later on. Without further ado, here he is:

 

 

Dragunity Sjambok
Wind/ Level 2
500/700
Dragon/Tuner
When this card is Normal Summoned: you can Special Summon 1 Winged Beast-Type "Dragunity" monster from your hand and equip this card to it as an Equip Card; the monster equipped with this card gains 500 ATK points. If this Equip Card equipped to a "Dragunity" Monster is Special Summoned: search your deck for 1 Winged Beast-Type "Dragunity" monster, add it to your Hand. 

 

To me, Dragunities main problem right now is that they can't search for their Winged Beast members easily. This monster can search for it's Winged Beasts companions but it has to be Special Summoned first. This not only prevents him from being OP but also encourages the use of other, usually overlooked, members like Dragunity Militum.

That's all for today; as soon as I have the drawing ready for the other 3 cards I'll share them here. Any kind of feedback (both on the effect and the drawing) is very welcome; I know the drawing looks too cartoon-ish but I'm only an amateur at digital art. Other decks I'd like to support after I finish with Dragunities are Aliens, Banish-Psychics, Toons, Wind-ups and Darklords; also accept suggestions. 

 

Thanks in advance for reading and any given feedback I get :)

The problem with this card, as well as Dragunities as a whole, is that all the Dragon-Type Tuners that do the equipping will all be competing with Phalanx. Since, for the most part, they honestly won't care what happens otherwise, as long as Phalanx can do it's thing. Plus, Divine Lance is also a card.

I did mention the Divine Lance, but I didn't know it already had an official english name, I called it "Spear of Destiny", my mistake. My problem with Divine Lance is that it can only search Dragon-type monsters; we still need something to search for the Winged Beasts monsters. This monster is meant to be played in combo with Militum as an alternative to Dux+Phalanx. It's a bit more complicated to pull off since you need both monsters in hand (Divine Lance can ease things tho) but it has the added benefit of searching for a Winged Beast monster on top of synchro summoning Vajra or Gae Dearg.

 

The other cards I made also make this alternative combo a bit easier to pull off and provide more alternatives for synchro summoning than just Dux/Legionnaire + Phalanx. Hopefully I'll finish them soon so they can be analyzed in conjunction. Thanks for the comment.
