[The Fantasia Series] Warriors Order

[Aix]

The Fantasia Series will be a mega-archetype consisting of numerous 7-card sets. The idea is to try to create an archetype card pool consisting of numerous cards without any card being more powerful that the others. Doing this hopefully allows for great variety in Decks built with this archetype. You are free to create a 7-card set to add to this archetype, which will automatically receive a review and rep from me~!

 

The core idea of this archetype is the use of Fantasia Counters. Several guidelines will be followed when making cards for the Fantasia Series in order to prevent abuse. What a lot of these guidelines do is moderate the difficulty of certain actions to make the dynamic of Fantasia Counters more complex.

• Fantasia Counters should not be easily placed on non-"Fantasia" cards, particularly your opponent's non-"Fantasia" cards. This prevents too much abuse of "Hex Mistress Julia", and any possible future cards that affect non-"Fantasia" cards with Fantasia Counters.
• Fantasia Counters should not be easily distributed en mass. Distribute means to freely place a certain amount of counters. This includes effects that easily place Fantasia Counters.
• Monsters should have relatively low ATK and DEF to make up for the fact that they can gain immunity to card effects.
• Effects should not have a continuous boost on ATK or DEF for the same reason as above.
• +1 or +0 searching or toolboxing is a no without heavy restrictions or costs. I want to see if I can make a balanced card pool that searching will not be an absolute necessity like with most Decks.
• Special Summoning should be kept to a minimum. Don't make many Pendulum monsters, as the Pendulum Spells are basically invulnerable.

Lore-wise, Fantasia is a vast fantasy world with countless hidden mysteries. This set in particular shall be the only Pendulum-centric set, and also is important for accumulation of Fantasia Counters, for whatever important reasons. Now that I think of it, this is probably the most important set. I need to make another engine that rivals this set in utility.

Reps for Reviews~!

[Aix]

Buffed "Blessings of the Angels" because it turned out to be pretty useless and a dead draw.

[VCR_CAT]

The proper wording for the achetypical effect is actually (This card is always treated as a "Fantasia" card.) What this does is that this makes it a condition that not only can't be negated, but means that the card's name and such are treated properly while in the hand or deck. It overall makes a lot more sense functionally.

I'm bending the OCG rules a little to save text space xP

Weakened Arya, Violet, Banquet, and Aries.

 

Aries is no longer the wincon it basically was.

 

Need to change this Deck somehow to not just spam Aries... hmm...

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

I don't have time for a detailed review this morning (Skype message me Saturday afternoon/night and I can do that) but I am a really big fan of the way their unaffected-ness works, since it requires you to strategically keep track of the counters, and there will always be at least one thing without immunity. It is a really clever implementation.
