Muscular and Mean! "Mightmare" Archetype [WRITTEN]

[NobodySovereign]

So, I wanted to try and do something a bit different from other archetypes I've done before, which mostly dealt with fairies (Lunarlux), Demons (Fallen), and Dragons (Dragarmor, Ryusei, and a couple others I can't recall by name). Here's my attempt at throwing together some ragin' Warriors with some bad attitudes and a mob mentality.

 

The obvious thing here is that you're trying to get out one of your Extra Deck monsters. Most of the time you'll want to go into "Universe" since he's not going to wipe your field and, for two turns at least, is a direct 2000 to your opponent, but if you have a "Rage Up Beefy Muscle Force" on the field, you can safely bring out Rager and go for game.

 

I'd really appreciate some CnC with these guys because I stepped away from the stuff that I know and I'm hoping I did pretty well.

These guys look pretty good so far, but for what you're trying to do with them, they need more swarm power than just Heavylifter and Locker Room.

 

The Spells also have a weird sub-theme of shuffling Mightmares into the Deck, which isn't sufficiently spread out to really be worth it. Training Gym needs another benefit to make it at all worth it, even if it's just an ATK boost. Locker Room needs too many Beefy Counters to activate its effect, not to mention that it's based on the whole shuffling thing, which is facilitated by exactly two cards. I would suggest either expanding on the shuffling theme or reducing the number of Beefy Counters needed. Or both, in fact. Finally, Enhancement is almost entirely outclassed by Ego Boost. It needs some other benefit to it, something that would justify the affected monster getting destroyed at the end of the turn. I do like Gang Up!, though. It's a good draw card.

 

Everything else looks good, though, and I like where you're going with them. Keep up the good work so far!

[NobodySovereign]

So, I've added a couple of things since you mentioned that the Shuffling thing seemed a bit odd:

 

- "Dodge Those Charges!" is now like an "Aquamirror Cycle" for the Archetype.

- "Mightmare Up-and-Comer" is a Trap Monster who can Tribute itself to SS a Mightmare from your hand and is now Searchable through Trackrunner. You can even Shuffle it back in with "Dodge".

- "Mightmare Rollerfence" can shuffle itself into the Deck to SS out another Mightmare from your hand, thus putting Beefy Counters on cards and allowing you to bring out either Trackrunner or Jukendo.

 

Now, onto other stuff:

- "Enhancement" now offers Battle Indestructibility. And it's now a Quick-Play, so it's an optional response to your opponent's mid-to-high threat monsters.

- "Locker Room" now only needs 3 Beefy Counters removed to activate its effect.

 

So: did this fix the problems?
