Rakkis157 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 This is an archetype I made to play around with a new mechanic that I've been working on. Basically, the monsters of the archetype lets them put themselves on top of your deck when tributed, and once on top of the deck, they gain abilities. These abilities come in two kinds; the first are effects that you can activate when they would be drawn, which is mandatory for all the monsters that have this mechanic. Some of them have a second effect when on top of your deck, which can range from Special Summoning themselves, removing backrow or searching.Theme-wise, they are based on gargoyles (if the art isn't obvious enough) that sit up high on a tower (your deck) where they gain an advantage over their foes, able to stay out of danger while having the ability to swoop down and cause havoc over the battlefield. While flocking around the tower, they also have access to more of their resources. Their nature causes them to prioritize guarding their tower, and thus they require you to Tribute monsters (which for "Spire Gargoyle" monsters, brings them back to the tower) in order to special summon them, or will only swoop down when the situation on the ground warrants their help.Playstyle-wise, Spire Gargoyles are meant to have a playstyle that is heavy on swarming and conserving resources. They are also supported by Spells and Traps which aim to provide ample disruption or improve consistency.The weakness of the archetype would be cards that force you to shuffle your deck, like most Viruses, Castel, etc. as well as cards that block out Tributes like Mask of Restrict, but their strength lies in the fact that they can protect themselves from being banished or destroyed by using their various abilities to Tribute monsters that are targeted by effects, Sending them to the top of the deck where not much can reach them.[spoiler=Main Deck Monsters][spoiler=Lore]Spire Gargoyle Lord Rek'nazi DARK - Level 8Rock/Effect - 2900/2400 Once per turn, while "The Dark Spires" is on the field, you can tribute 1 monster you control: Draw 1 card.

♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 "Snatch from the skies" might seem a bit obsolete since it needs two sacrifices in order to negate the activation of one spell card...but the card has a potential for graveyard oriented decks and combos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
