Ashenmpyre (Phoenix Archetype)

[Maikeru D. Shinigami]

I got bored and decided to try my hand at this archetype creation thing.
I had some other ideas like going with Zelda or Catherine, but decided on Phoenixes.

And when I thought of it, I was like, well they always come back, like pendulums. So, let's make them pendulums.

 

Bare in mind I am very tired. I stayed up all night screwing around with this, it may not be up to par with some stuff.

 

But I am down for feedback.

First off, these are awesome. I REALLY like them.

 

Second off, they are also very, very, broken. But I believe that can be fixed with a universal "Once per turn" clause for both Pendulum & Monster effects.

 

Let me paint a picture:

You go first, and open JUST "From the Ashes" and "Genesis"

1) Play Ashes, send "Genesis" to extra deck to search "Lumino"

2) Play Lumino in your Pendulum Zone, destroy it to add back "Genesis". Lumino discards 1 card from your opponents hand.

3) Play Genesis in your Pendulum Zone, destroy it to add back "Lumino." Genesis searches ANYTHING you want.

4) Repeat steps 2 & 3 until your opponent has NO hand left and you searched 5 cards. 

 

Perhaps you forgot that when a Pendulum Monster is destroyed in the Pendulum Zone, it is treated as a monster being destroyed when it hits the extra deck.

I actually did forget that rule. And I was trying so hard to word it correctly so that it wouldn't be THAT broken, but also good enough to compete with everything else.

 

I could just reword the monster effect to be like graydles "If this card in your monster zone is destroyed", as opposed to "if this monster is destroyed".

 

But once per turn even then might be something worth thinking about.
