Prophecy cards

[Woloa]

The inspiration for these ones hit me wile I was trying to failing to sleep last night. That is the entire story.

 

The basic concept is simple: Each Prophecy has some kind of effect that triggers every turn and gives it a counter, once it has a certain number of counters you get to summon a Prophesied monster (spells) or activate an effect by sending the card to the grave (traps). the trick is, you can only control one spell, one trap and one monster from this set face up at any given time.

Alright, just to get something small out, the correct term is "Prophecy Counters" as you don't need quotation marks when talking about Counter names, but you need "Prophecy" with quotation marks when talking about ""Prophecy" Spell"..

 

The continuous Spells are far too slow, being vulnerable to MST and not giving you any payoff until your next turn. I had to look at the monsters to see how useful these cards would be, and, to be honest...although the idea of Summoning them in different ways is cool, it can lead to some annoying bricks, if you draw 2 kinds of Prophecy Monsters and the other kind of spell, you are kinda screwed. 

 

Moving onto the continuous traps, what do you mean by sacrifice? Tributing can't be done with S/T, and do you mean send to the Graveyard, destroy, or banish? There are a lot of OCG errors in these cards. Zaziuma/Handsome Jack wrote a nice OCG guide in the Advanced section, so that would help. Meteor is really annoying, as i don't want to have to nuke my entire field just after I gained advantage, and takes a couple turns to work even if I am screwed.

 

As for the monsters, they all seem kinda weak considering you have to wait 3 turns before you can bring any of them out. The first two are okay...considering they have protection, but the next two don't really hurt your opponent that much, considering you give up a battle phase. I think you nerfed them too much. Simone is just UP at best, having no protection or much immediate benefits at all, but the last one is actually passable, as it has protection from battle and effects, but the attack eff negation response is kinda useless, as not much of that happens these days.

 

Land of Prophecy is missing something like "ignoring other "Prophecy" cards' effects", age of Prophecy needs to specify when the second Standby Phase happens, because i hope it is not at the start of your turn. Keeper is EXTREMELY strong, and is balanced not because the effect is balance, but because the rest of this series is so weak. Needs some nerfing, as you can add whatever cards you want to your hand. 

 

The archetype is weak as a whole, but, with some buffing, would make for some very interesting plays. Just go check out that OCG guide to brush up on your card lore!

[Woloa]

I'll check it out and look into buffing the rogues and Simone. You do, however, need to remember that cards like Token Stampede exist, which make Simone's effect grant you 3000 beaters that can't be destroyed by battle every turn, so, I wanted to try and balance that one out.

 

I've already got a new effect in mind for Keeper, and I'll look into fixing my wordings and all that when I have time.
