I like the card art and concept. You could make a good light fairy deck with these cards, I also like how they are light Atturibute so you can use Honest.

Thank you, but what concept and what about it?

 Maybe elaborate a bit?

 

Anywho: Added more monsters.

[cr47t]

I agree with TheKing on this, and don't know how to explain in my own words. However, I would like to see more S/T.

[The Nyx Avatar]

and don't know how to explain in my own words.

But that's what you're supposed to. If you like, don't like, see as fair or unfair, explain why (stating possible interactions with already existing cards, utility, maybe giving examples of how you'd use them, ect.)

I would have used what King said if he didnt say it first. But anyway; I think this is a nice archetype but might need a tiny bit toning down because of Honest compatibility. I could picture a build with this and the Level 2 Heralds.

[kevintriedge]

I think it's a very nice archetype! 

 

Personally, I think the compatibility with Honest is still appropriately thematic for the deck since a lot of them has battle-related effects. 

 

I find their differing levels good, so we can't abuse the Pendulum mechanic to spam Xyz monsters. PePe deck was a nightmare lol.

 

Although I think that Honest compatibility is good, I do agree with YCM's Iowa in that mixing this with real life LIGHT Fairy cards might give birth to something broken. Maybe you can change the type so it's not LIGHT Fairy, or change the attribute.

Thanks. Also, just to point out, "YCM's Iowa" is actually not my username, it's a member title. My username (cr47t) goes above the member title.

Not really. Honest is Semi-Limited, and only up to three of these cards directly interact with LIGHT Fairy-Type monsters (and one of them only Tributes them). None of which can add it from the Graveyard or Deck to your hand (effects that would be much more potent for what Honest is known for).

Well, I guess you have a point. By the way, when are we going to see some more S/T cards?

The archetype seems to have a few different types of effects but overall it's focused on negating your opponent's effects, summoning more of your monsters, which are both great for pendulum archetypes. Some of them are a little low on the ATK, but they have some ways to power themselves up. Azure's ability means it could destroy any monster with less than 3400 ATK (that extra 50 makes it a pretty good level 4). Since a lot of the strongest beaters are hovering around 3k, Azure would be a good way to get over some tough monsters. Did you mean to say in Sabre's monster effect: "Monster Effect:During either player's turn: You can discard this card; Special Summon 1 "Sylphia" monster with a different name that is banished, in your Graveyard, or face-up from your Extra Deck."? 

It's ATK/DEF boost effect would only make it go up to 2000, so it wouldn't be able to hit most extra deck monsters. It could hit some weaker monsters, but I don't know how many you'd typically see which weren't used for other special summons. Nectar has a lot of uses, either to gain LP as a pendulum (and the monsters you banish could be summoned back with other Sylphia cards) or to get an extra normal summon, or as a hand trap to protect your other monsters. Gale gives more protection or special summoning depending on where it's put. Twinkle and Dream are normal monsters (though some of the current pendulum archetypes have normal monster pendulum cards). But I wonder if there's any correlation between the level/scale of a pendulum monster. If a pendulum card had a low level, would it always have a high scale, or vice versa? Is there any relationship between how difficult it is to summon vs. place in the pendulum scale? Dream has a scale of 8, which is higher than most of your other monsters, but it's a level 7 with 100 ATK/DEF. So why did you make it such a high level normal monster? There's no reason to play it any way but as a pendulum monster. I was wondering if maybe you were giving it some kind of restriction, since it would have been just as good as a monster if you made it level 1. Vandimion seems like the boss of this archetype, with an easy summoning condition and a few effects to work with your other monsters. I can see by now that a lot of these cards rely on banishing, the beacon and descent spell cards help out with that goal while also powering them up. Song is a really powerful card to help summon and protect them, and you could destroy it with Vandimion to draw a card if you needed. Rune and Advance are some good traps to help summon even more monsters. And yeah, mixing these with Herald of Perfection would make a really nasty combination. I really like this archetype. It seems like it would stand pretty well in the current format, although I'm not sure how it compares to other pendulum archetypes. I think it's funny how the fairy type has mostly been represented by alien looking creatures that don't look anything like you'd imagine a fairy to be, so this is a nice contrast by being exactly what fairies might look like. But I do like this archetype for that. I also have a few questions about pendulum monsters. When they're destroyed, do they always go to the extra deck or is that just when they're in pendulum zones? How do you get them out of the extra deck during the game? Finally, to tell if a thread is dead or not, do I look at the date of the original post (this was 13  days ago) or the most recent reply, either of someone replying or the creator bumping or adding more cards?

To answer your question, the 2 week threshold for posting applies from the last post made in the thread, regardless if it's the TC bumping, actually adding content or someone else's comments. You're fine.

Only Sylhpia Rune negates. As for the Normal Pendulum monsters, it's to kind of even things out, so you don't build up a bif beatstick just by destroying them and then Pendulum Summoning them later. And yes; when Pendulum monsters are destroyed, they go face-up to the Extra Deck (unless their Summon was negated and they're destroyed, in which case they are sent to the Graveyard instead, or while a card like Masked HERO - Dark Law is face-up on the field, they are banished instead of sent face-up to the Extra Deck).

[cr47t]

Didn't know if you would care or not, but someone else has used the image you used for Sylphia Rune for a card (although I assume you used it first); http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/357265-what-will-you-choose-fading-magic-set-1717/

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

There is no rule that says no two users can use the same images for their cards, so it's not an concern. Only time that this would be an issue is if one of them made the picture themselves and others require permission to use them, but do not have it.

 

Just to clear things up.
