Lemuria Archetype [Written]

[Kingdom Xathers]

Right, so, this Archetype is based on a story that Broke N. and I collaborated on *keff~*, and includes a re-training of "The Furious Sea King" and "Night Lizard".

 

 

Aldaraia, Lost King of Lemuria

WATER/Lv 3/Aqua/Pendulum/Tuner/<8>/800 ATK/700 DEF

Pendulum Effect: This card gains the following effects while you control a WATER Pendulum Monster in your other Pendulum Zone.

@ Negate the effects of your opponent’s monsters sent to the Graveyard from the hand or Deck by a card effect they controlled.

@ Once per turn: You can discard 1 card from your hand, then target 1 Level 4 or lower WATER monster in either player’s Graveyard; Special Summon it.

The Fallen King of Lemuria, he lost everything when Poseidra claimed his throne during the Atlantean Onslaught. With only his loyal guard by his side, he intends to reclaim what was rightfully his.

 

Zodinu, Royal Guard of Lemuria

WATER/Lv 4/Aqua/Pendulum/<2>/1150 ATK/1300 DEF

Pendulum Effect: All Level 4 or lower WATER Aqua-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by your opponent’s card effects, also, if you control a WATER Pendulum Monster in your other Pendulum Zone, you can Pendulum Summon Level 2 or lower WATER Aqua-Type monsters as if this card's Pendulum Scale was 0.

A Night Lizard who gained the highest honor of becoming a Royal Guard to the King of Lemuria. He has always stood by his King’s side ever since the innocence of their youth, and this holds true even now as he helps his King reclaim Lemuria from the Atlanteans who stole their home.

Once per turn, during either player’s turn you can either: Target 1 “The Furious Sea King” or 1 “Aldaraia” monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR unequip this card and Special Summon it to your side of the field. A monster equipped with this card gains 1000 ATK, and when it destroys a monster by battle: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target.

I like how your set uses a variation of card types. Spirit, Pendulum, Union, Synchro and Xyz. The effects of all the cards look balanced. Nothing stands out as broken to me. Atlantean Marksman and Heavy Infantry would go well with the reborn ocean emperor and awakened royal guard. The Realized Promise stands out most to me and Baltim is my favorite from this set. 

 

It's nice to see such old vanilla cards get a retrained version and a deck. Is there any specific reason you chose the Furious Sea King and Night Lizard? Also do the other monsters of the set look similar to the Sea King and Night Lizard or do they have a completely different look?
