[Artless] Mekwarrior Archetype (and machine-type support)

[Mysticpwned]

Design: Mekwarriors are a tempo-based archetype designed around squeezing value out of your cards. This is done through the system of "Tech" counters, which alter the battlefield in a variety of different ways.

 

Strengths:

-Strong effects and synergy

-Powerful mid-to-late game

-Ability to cycle and recycle cards

-Buffing

-Utility

 

Weaknesses:

-Reliant on their Synchros to finish out games

-Somewhat weak on stats

-Reliant on Tech counters for most of their power

-No unified attribute

 

[spoiler=Monsters]

Lore: When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, return the bottom card of your graveyard to the bottom of your deck.

 

Lore: This card cannot be destroyed by battle. When an enemy monster is destroyed by battle with this card, Special Summon an "Afterburn Token" (Pyro/FIRE/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position. At the end of each turn the token is on the field, it gains one "Tech" counter.

 

Lore: You can remove all "Tech" counters on the field (At least 5) to special summon this monster from your hand. There can only be one "Mekwarrior - Eternity Prophet" on the field. This card gains 300 ATK each time that a "Tech" counter is removed from the field (not including when it is special summoned).

 

Lore: Once per turn, you can remove two "Tech" counters from this card in order to activate its effect. Select a card in your opponent's hand and declare whether it is a monster, spell, or trap card. If you call it correctly, the card is sent to the graveyard.

 

Lore: When your opponent attacks this face down defense position monster, the attacking monster is destroyed if they have a "Tech" counter on them. This monster cannot be destroyed by a monster with a "Tech" counter on it.

 

Lore: When this card is special summoned, place 2 "Tech" counters on it (max: 2).

 

Lore: Once per Turn, you can pay 500 life points to place a "Tech" counter on any card on the field. If this card would be destroyed by battle, remove a "Tech" counter from it instead.

Lore: Up to three times per turn during your battle phase, remove one "Tech" counter from this card to inflict 300 direct damage to your opponent.

 

Lore: During the end phase of a turn that this card is used as a Synchro material monster, you can pay 1000 life points to return this card to your hand.

 

Lore: This card gains 100 ATK for each "Tech" counter on your side of the field. When you remove a "Tech" counter from anywhere on the field, add a "Tech" counter to a card that you own. This effect can only activate once per turn.

Balancing help and artwork are appreciated!

Quick note: I came up with the name "Mekwarrior" before I even knew about the "Mechwarrior" series, for those wondering.

Keep in mind we do have a Multiples section.

Moving it there.

 

Also, don't post cards that lack images; they look kinda ugly to be honest.

Instead, just type out their stats.

 

(It'll also reduce loading on the post itself in the event this gets really huge)

Ah. Sorry and thank you. Kind of not used to this stuff.

Don't worry about it.

It just looks cleaner if you write out in text; we know it's difficult to find suitable pics for cards at times.

 

Also makes it easier on you, since you can just update the text on the post instead of having to fix the card in the generator and all that other stuff.
