[Archetype] 4 playstyles in 1 Deck - the Nova Archetype


Self-Destruct Button

Recommended Posts

As there are not many Pendulum Archetypes available yet - as DP doesn't have the Mechanic included yet - I thought I'd make an Archetype myself even before we got them, so that I wouldn't have to rush then. But what am I even talking about, so basically they're all called "Nova" followed by a random color, as for the names. The deck plays by setting one of the Level 4 monsters as a Pendulum Scale, and the other one defines your playstyle, also the level 4s enable you to change your playstyle once per turn. The Deck Boss as Scale makes the Deck a rank 4 spam, the level 8 and 6 make it Rank 7 spam, the level 7s are to bring the Boss out, and the Level 6 can also make Synchro monsters. They have a lot of restrictions, idk if they are balanced yet, but that's why I post them here. The template is a mix from an own template and the one that can be found here.
So, here are the cards:
 
[spoiler="Normal Monsters"]
[spoiler="Nova Fuchsia"]irlGKAE.png
Pendulum Effect: If you Pendulum Summon 4 or more monsters: Any Battle Damage your opponent takes this turn is halved. Once per turn: You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone other than this card; destroy it, and if you do, place 1 Pendulum Monster from your hand or Extra Deck in that Zone.
Monster Effect: None, obviously...[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Nova Scarlet"]j39nUXf.png
Pendulum Effect: While you control 3 or more monsters: You cannot declare attacks. Once per turn: You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone other than this card; destroy it, and if you do, place 1 Pendulum Monster from your hand or Extra Deck in that Zone.
Monster Effect: lol [/spoiler]

I do not like the fact that Rose can be repeatedly summoned as a Pendulum monster, and has a superb body and a negation effect. Why is something that's about as good as Shooting Star Dragon so easy to summon? Other than that it looks okay. Fuschia's negative effect @ 4 bodies summoned is impractical, I'd tune it to half @ 2 or 0 @ 4+ because half @ 4+ is just ... eh.

 

I'd have to play against the deck to find out, but as the Pendulums don't have overtly strong effects or bodies aside from Rose, I think more playtesting is necessary.
