[Written] Timekeepers (6/?)

[Rakkis157]

This will be written for now, but I hope to put together picture versions if I find fitting art etc. and have enough time to do so.

 

 

Concept:

 

The Timekeepers are designed to act as a clock that continues to run as the game proceeds, racking up material to summon their boss monsters, while providing draw and some disruption along the way. Each Timekeeper represents each number on a clock, and corresponds to 2 hours in a day going from (Eins  -  0100-0259), (Zwei  -  0300-0459), etc. They are either FIRE Pyro-type or WATER Aqua-type depending on whether the hours they represent are during the day or at night, with the Night Timekeepers having high DEF and low ATK, while the Day Timekeepers have high ATK and low DEF. Mechanics-wise, each timekeeper's effects are designed to trigger on a specific phase of the game, and once the game moves on from their individual phases, possess the ability to banish themselves in order to special summon the Timekeeper monster that is next on the clock.

 

Their boss monster, Father Time, is an XYZ summon that comes into play once you have banished 12 Timekeeper monsters of different names, which can primarily be achieved by successfully performing one round of the clock. Father Time himself is designed to be completely unrestrained by time, with it being able to be summoned at any time (as long as you fulfill the summoning conditions) as well as possessing abilities can be activate at any time to disrupt your opponent's plays.

The cards so far look pretty decent, in my opinion. The "do things on your opponent's turn" gimmick is very interesting if done well, which you have thus far. However, Father Time has some problems.

 

First off, DIVINE-attribute cards aren't allowed. The closest equivalent would likely be LIGHT.

 

Secondly, we've got to stick with the types that currently exist in the game (though Divine-Beast and Creator God also aren't allowed). May I suggest changing him to Fairy-type?

 

Finally, you're going to want to specify where you can Special Summon him from. This one isn't a rules violation, but it's something you'll want to fix.

 

Also, a suggestion; if you make Spell or Trap support, maybe make Father Time always be treated as a "Timekeeper" monster? It'll let him be supported by it too, though that of course depends on how you design the support.

 

Note: I am not a mod. I just wanted to give you some advice. =)

Father Time has a Fake Type and is DIVINE Attribute, both of which are barred in Advanced Cards.

Moved to Experimental.

Ah, I wasn't aware of Divine and custom types being forbidden. I'm new here, so sorry about that.

 

Anyways, I've gone with @Tojin's suggestion to make Father Time Light Fairy-Type for the time being. Thanks for the advice.
