[Written] Alephos

[Bobhostern]

I'm trying to make a set that uses the Graveyard as a hub for various effects.
This is my first time to make a set, so any name recommendations and effect suggestions are very welcome.

You have a very interesting concept going on here, Spellcaster Type support is always a good deal. 

Alephos huh? It’s got a nice ring to it. 

 

Note in the Text for the original Vanilla Tuner monster, you may have misspelled Alephos in the lore.

Just pointing it out haha. For your Synchro Monster, Alephos -Zayin, It may just be me, but 3000 ATK is a pretty high base, but then Goyo Guardian has a decent 2800 ATK. If it were me, I'd lower it just a tad, but that's a personal opinion. For your Gate of Rain Field Spell card, I’d fix your Effect text to something along the lines of,  “When a card is sent from your Deck to the Graveyard, if that card is a monster, you can Special Summon it instead, ignoring its Summoning conditions…” and the rest of the effect is fine as is. Your Spell effects are nice and give a good set of balance to your cards. 

 

It seems like the 'Alephos' cards benefit from being in Defense Mode, I’d personally suggest a few cards to support them while they’re in Defense Mode, if you catch my drift haha. But personally, you’ve got a nice concept, just a few things that may need some fixing up, but otherwise, everything is looking really good.

Thank you, PandamoniumHD!

Took your advice, and changed the cards accordingly, also added a few new cards.

[Bobhostern]

Bump.

[Brandis72]

Interesting idea, I guess.

It's just that the cards seem woefully underpowered.

maybe less restrictions? (no BP, for example)

Just to let you know, TC necrobumped his own thread by 2.5 months with no updates.

So yeah, locked.
