Brash Archetype

[Dargakemans]

I made this based on an idea of an archetype that gives you a positive effect at the cost of field advantage.

I would add pictures but I couldn't find any good images so the cards look bad visually.

 

Also names with puns are fun

Would have been kewl if you had a card that could summon them on your opponent's side of the field so you can feed them a positive effect and turn around and get the monster. Otherwise I could just use remove brainwashing to get the positive effect and keep the monster.

interesting . and archetype of control switcher that disturb your opponent. at first i googled what Brash mean (https://www.google.com/search?q=brash&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) and kinda fascinate by it, not sure that its your intention but i find it fitting an archetype of EARTH Warrior that disturb your opponent while not completely obeying its master (switch control) as its theme. if its helps i can visualize the card art to be either bunch of Merc/Fortune Soldier/bounty Hunter or simply just a cool (school) delinquent/gangster like the ones of Crows anime (kinda more fitting in nature)

 

right on the bat, the problem that can emerge while playing this type of Playstyle is field presence. sure this card gimmick is to sacrifice one...but in early games we have 2 worst possible scenario including:

 

1) this archetype doesn't have draw and swarm power to hold initial setup of surviving opponent possible onslaught and gimmicks outside Test dummy (require grave setup first, and Brashtille doesn't help that much)and Tax (which require you to summon on opponent side of field most of the time of your early game). is possible that this scenario kinda mitigated by its wording since you use "and" between its disruption effect and switch effect, which  result if the disruption effect fail because there no target to disturb on resolution the control won't switch (example: you summon Brash Collector while your opponent is not controlling any backrow) but even so its still considered summoning a vanilla with a very small stat except for Nabber

 

2) currently we have only 3 cards that enable you to get hold of your own monster (4 if you counting Remove Brainwashing) which take place of about 25% of the deck, there a big "but" for this since neither of those 3 names is quick-searchable except for Brashtille as you don't have a search effect outside and sadly all of them require and extensive setup. the easiest being Brashtille,Tax, and Remove Brainwashing but tax require opponent to control 1 of yours (mostly in early game)which can cost you a turn, same goes to Remove Brainwashing since its a trap

 

you can consider to add archetype specific researcher and more cards like Test Dummy or Tax that more easier to setup (or you can simply buff them both a bit)

 

Runner

 

its an Exiled Force of the archetype not much to say here

 

Nabber

 

you must specify the way of the discard effect works. is it random? or you can actually see your opponent hand first, the latter is quite powerful and possibly OP in mid and late game when you finish to establish the anti-switch effect

 

Collector

 

during this format Collector can actually being the biggest threat other than the boss of the archetype since it can disturb scale and Backrow. although as far as i remember about card mechanic since you put "," instead ":" on its on summon effect kinda not sure that it will not miss timing if somehow you or your opponent respond to this card effect. generically (including to all member of this archetype) if you want to make the effect kinda mandatory to happen you must replaced the comma with ":" akin to Tellarknight or Monarch. if you do all of the member archetype will have its on summon effect mandatory and reduce the risk of miss timing (which kinda scary for this or Nabber to do so, especially  if Nabber can check hand and dump anything you desire)

 

Pusher

 

a neat disturb to ever popular grave setup. for me its kinda fine but not everyone is gonna happy with it able to banish 2 at once for just a -1

 

Consumer

 

possibly the weakest of the archetype, most of the time it will only become fodder for either player. personally i want to suggest to buff the life gain higher but a 1k is already good

 

Test Dummy

 

the enabler of archetype filed presence and fodder setup. sadly in archetype when you constantly lose monster in mandatory effect, its kinda slow since it require a specific banish

 

Header

 

The boss its neat that he can summon more member and attack all monster once each. but its rather mediocre within a somewhat low stat that require specific monster to make. he will need heavy buff ranging from:

• you can make to summon effect to have anti switch clause
• bigger stat, 2500++ for both of its ATK and DEF its a good number
• its something i not recommend but you can make the material slightly more generic like " 1 or more Level 4 "Brash" monster + 1 Level 4 Monster" or fully generic (2 level 4 monster) but its effect will only active if "Brash" monster attached on it

 

Tax

 

another presence holder. its nice that you can target either side of field. kinda suffer in early game as you must give up your normal summon to use it and miss the chance of summon support other than Kagetokage which a Semi-nomi that only searchable optimaly by King of Feral imps

 

Brashtille

 

the best among the other Presence holder. the summoning cost is neat for setup Test Dummy although the LP cost its kinda too huge i let it pass for now
