Grief Archetype

[Nmaster]

This is my first archetype, basically an idea I had for a while now. I don't think these cards would work well in the current metagame, as these monsters stand weak against most effects and the boss monster is a beater. Maybe I should create some support for these in the future. Please rate!

 

 

[spoiler=Grief Vanisher]

 

Fiend / Effect

ATK: 0, DEF: 0

Attribute: DARK

Level: 4

 

Lore:

When you take effect damage: You can Special Summon this card from your hand; it gains ATK and DEF equal to the damage you took. Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed.

 

 

[spoiler=Grief Avenger]

 

Fiend / Effect

ATK: 500, DEF: 0

Attribute: DARK

Level: 6

 

Lore:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand by Tributing any number of "Grief" monsters; it gains ATK and DEF equal to the combined ATK and DEF of the Tributed monsters.

 

 

[spoiler=Griefus]

 

Fiend / Effect

ATK: 0, DEF: 0

Attribute: DARK

Level: 10

 

Lore:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand by Tributing 1 "Grief Avenger"; it gains ATK and DEF equal to the combined ATK and DEF of "Grief Avenger". Once per turn, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the combined ATK and DEF of the destroyed monster.

If the opponent uses a deck that does not inflict effect damage, this deck is obsolete......., my concern is on "Grief Vanisher", how many copies can be special summoned in a single turn?if there is no limitation, I suggest limiting it to one per turn

[Zkaiser]

He could just burn himself to summon them. Also, there is no need for a once per turn limitation since the effect really isn't that strong and past rulings of similar cards say you can only activate 1 of them per burn.

I was planning on making another Grief monster which can be Special Summoned from the hand when you take Battle Damage. Though you could always burn yourself to summon Vanisher.
