Tinkerer Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Hello, fine peoples! I have an archetype that, well, changes their names to summon monster(s) with the same name from your deck. The card Lores tend to be a bit lengthy (due to the name changing mechanic present in most of the cards), so if you don't want to read through it all, I'll give an abridged version below each group of monsters. Of course, the abridged version doesn't specify things, so if you want to know what the cards do specifically, you have to look in the sets themselves. As always, feel free to CnC on anything. I like to think I didn't make any mistakes when I post an archetype, but oftentimes I tend to overlook things, so if you see something that stands out, feel free to let me know! Enjoy!

They have no stats, but they give the deck the powerful swarming potential it needs. They have conditions that stop the deck from becoming too ridiculous though but still offers protection so that the cards aren't sitting ducks. ...And the spell and trap support that I am planning involves generic good.dek stuff with the side effect of being able to do different stuff if discarded.

evil cucumber Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Certainly a very interesting mechanic! It's always nice to see creative sets that aren't all about searching/floodgates/and other meta things that make for an unhealthy game. Instead of reviewing one by one, I'll first do some notes and wait for the s/t support to be added.- Maybe you missed this possibility, but the Level 4 monsters can Summon another copy of them from the deck and get their effects. The reason why I'm pointing this out is because some of them give so much unfair advantage for such a costless move. For example, "Hornet Generation 2" can be Normal Summoned; tributed for its (3) effect; Summon another "Hornet Generation 2" from Deck; pop 2 cards. I can see something like this or that one that makes you draw 2 cards easily becoming staples for any Deck, since all you need is another copy in the Deck. If that's not how you want them to fit into the game, may I suggest this change on their effects: "If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Generation" monster, except "(Insert name of this card here)": You can..." - Although the new High Level Special Summoned monster from the Deck can recover any wasted resource for its summon, the risk of getting Breakthrough Skilled after discarding 4 cards for the cost is very high. In these cases the cost is a bit too much. May I suggest you make the 'discard to gain name' become part of the effect? That would make things a lot better. Those were just initial thoughts, I'm still digesting some of their effects. But this is already looking like it has a lot of potential and I would love to see what you have planned for this archetype. Excelent work!
