What, not even some feedback? Bump.

So far, I really like them. It's a super cool gimmick; one that can take advantage of a lot of neat tech cards, like Ferret Flames and Hope for Escape. Also, the deck can crank out Utopia Ray fairly easily with his effect live. 

However, the deck also has to be wary of stuff like Cowboy and Magic Cylinder. Perhaps you could make an extra deck monster that has an effect that makes your LP 500 or 1000 less than your opponent's LP. Also, I think Banshee's dance should have a once per turn clause, since it's a definite +1.

Thanks for the feedback. I will take your suggestions into consideration.

Holy cow-inverse Aromages FTW.

 

Sorry-anyways, DARK Fairies are always nice to have, and even without an Extra Deck, these cards are working amazing wonders. But I simply must know if there is a boss monster in the works-halving LP and Summoning up more Level 4's feels like its leading up to something big and exclusive for these Banshees. Xyz perhaps? Anything that arrests damage'll be good. 

 

Also. One monster that gives you +1 on inception. Another Spell that halves your LP to draw. Beautiful for keeping the pain on, but Monarchs are going into crazy shenenagans over this new focus alone. Changing 1 of these effects to limit, or to do something else, like bump up ATK, and I'll say nothing more. Just a bit of a wary advantage there on draw engines-adding stuff to the hand's usually okay thanks to Mistake and Wrongful Arrest.

 

Other than that, the Banshees are stellar- bring on more if you can. 

 

8.5/10

Yes, I am planning on making a boss monster for them, and will be adding more soon. Thanks for your lovely feedback.

 

Updates: I added the once per turn clause on "Banshee's Dance". Also, I added a new card "Bébinn the Banshee Ghost".

 

Bump.

Damn. The scream of a banshee heralds your death, and by cutting your LP in half really, really often, you have to admit that they really capture this idea quite well. I guess it all comes down to what boss monsters you have to support them, since the problem with their Real Card Counterparts, the Aromages, is the glaring lack of one. Maybe have something that limits the maximum damage you can take, so as to not get 1 shotted by a random Ring of Destruction?

 

I think that Trapeze Magician and Life Equalizer would be pretty decent cards to go with the archetype, especially the former, since Rank 4s are easy to make with this deck.

Yeah thats sorta the general idea. And I already have something that limits damage "Bébinn" protects me from all effect damage. Thanks for your input.

 

Updates: I added 2 new cards, the boss monster "Dáiríne the Banshee Queen" and the trap "Banshee's Kiss".

 

Bump.

[Rakkis157]

I believe the XYZ should have something about detaching material in its effect.

Yes, you are correct, I fixed that.

 

Bump.

For Séarlait, either restrict it to not summoning another copy of itself or place a hard once per turn clause on it. Regardless, in its current form, it's a one card R4 for half of your life (which can always be paid) and your normal summon. Besides Séarlait and the xyz, the rest appear to be fine, balance wise.

 

Be a little wary about Banshee's Dance in FTK decks that run Chicken Game. Running through all 3 CG and 3 Pseudo Space puts you at 2000 LP which opens this card to being used at that point. I'd put some other restriction like "while you control a "Banshee" monster" or something along those lines to restrict the usage to this particular deck.

 

Another card that I almost forgot to mention is the Xyz, which has a ridiculously overpowered effect in the combination of its two effects more specifically, the burn effect. Again, pointing to Séarlait, she becomes a one card OTK. if you're at 8000, you normal summon and pay 4000 to summon Fionnuala from the deck. Use its effect to draw 1 card. Then overlay and pay another 2000 to wipe your opponent's board. Then detach an Xyz material to drop your opponent's LP to 2000, atk for 2400, you win. 

 

I do really like the gimmick and think that it can be really fun to use. Just a few fixes and it'll be golden!

You're right about Chain, i'm going to add a restriction to it.

I already added a once per turn clause to it, so it cant be abused much.

Again, you're right, the Xyz is OP, i'm adding a restriction to her as well.

Thanks, I really appreciate the CnC.

 

Updates: Added exception to Chain. Added restriction to Queen. Also, some minor adjustments to the card names.

 

Bump.

Seems like the Queen is still broken. other monsters can still attack after she closes the LP gap and it just seems too easy to win as soon as she hits the field. I think at least she should have to detach both her material. Maybe a compulsory skipping of the battle phase if you use the effect successfully? Awesome cards overall man. You chose fantastic artwork. They look like they could be coming out in the next set.

You're right, it is still broke, I will have it detach both Xyz Materials and add a BP restriction. Thanks.
