KeeganTroye Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 This archetype has been designed to make up for the lack of Alchemy lore decks in the actual game, barring the few cards Konami actually printed based of Professor Banner's deck from Yugioh GX. The deck is focused on powerful spells that can only activate if they are in the graveyard. OCG corrections appreciated. Lore Part One The 'Alchemia Scientia' are a group of great Alchemic Philosophers, who dedicated their lives to discovering the secrets of the Prima Materia, the first matter. In unlocking its secrets, they created the Philosophorum Lapis a stone of immense power. But as their end drew near, realising the danger in the power they had unlocked, the power to give forth life. They swore to guard the secrets they had spent a lifetime to uncover, they used the Philosophorum to create the Anima Mundi granting them eternal life. [spoiler=Main Deck Monsters] Scientia Alchimia Scientia Trismegistus LIGHT - Level [*] - Fiend/Effect - 800/800 Once Per Turn: You can discard 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard and add 1 'Alchimia Automata' monster from your deck to your hand.

During your End Phase you can send 1 'Alchimia Ordinem' card from your deck to your Graveyard. Flamma Alchimia Automata FIRE - Level [****] - Pyro/Effect - 1900/1900 You can Special Summon this card from your hand if you have no Spell Cards in your Graveyard and control at least 1 face-up 'Alchimia' monster.

Your opponent cannot activate card effects in response to this summon. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Extra-Deck Monsters] Auram Alchimia Automata LIGHT - Rank [*****] - Rock/XYZ/Effect - 2900/1900 2 level 5 monsters This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Alchimia' card.

This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of all face-up ‘Alchemia Automata’ monsters on the field. [/spoiler] Added the Synchro boss monster of the archetype, Lore part 2 coming soon.

evil cucumber Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I liked a lot the concept of your cards. I agree, the game needs more alchemy themed cards, bcause theyre pretty cool. The Spells effects are rly unusual, I'd like to know more about them, specifically how do you activate and when you can do it. Are they Quick Effect cards (Can you use them on your opponent's turn) or only during your Main Phases ? From what i understood the Quick-play Spells are the ones with quick effects. If what i said is truth, then i must also say the Philopsophrum Lapis card should be toned down a bit, because you can use it to avoid effects that would affect your monsters and to make additional attacks during your Battle Phase. I suggest you to make the Summoned monster cant attack directly the turn its Summoned by that effect. Other than that, i think the others are pretty balanced and dont need any changes. Just some minor OCG issues here: When you say discard a card, the complement should be 'from your hand', not 'in your hand' 'Normal Summon/Summoned' and 'Special Summon/Summoned' first letters are capitalized. This also applies for any type of Summon. 'Spell Card' first letters are also capitalized. Same goes for Monster Card and Trap Card. Change 'select' for 'target' There are times when you need to differ the Costs from the Effects. We use ";" to separate them. I'll give an example using the Ostanes' effect: "You can tribute this card, then target up to 2 removed from play 'Alchimia' cards; shuffle them..." If you have more questions, here is a post that can help you: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/322020-ocgpsct-thread-writing-your-card-properly/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have more questions, here is a post that can help you: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/322020-ocgpsct-thread-writing-your-card-properly/ More Alchemy can never be a bad thing, I hope the first part of the lore section sheds some light on the origin of the cards. Edited according to you OCG correction, also read more on OCG and will continue to edit as I go along and find more errors. The spells work in the grave as they would in normal play (face-down on the field), if there is a better way to write it I would be more than happy to be informed. I have edited Philosophorum to prevent dealing massive damage using it during your battle phase. I have also changed Mysterium Magnum to avoid it being used on your opponents turn which in turn would allow you to use the spells on your turn.

evil cucumber Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 hm, what about these wordings for the spells effects: Normal Spells : "During your Main Phase, while this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then..." Quick-play Spells: "During either player's turn, while this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then..." Activate from the Graveyard seems like a new mechanism to the game, so if you dont want your cards to be moved to the Experimental Cards section, i suggest you make them like that or something similar to breakthrough skill, damage diet, skill prisoner...
