Yup, making "bad" archetypes better with a single card. I try.

Feel free to suggest other archetypes/ series I should "update".

[Delibirb]

Duston Cloud's first effect literally does nothing. The parts of them that prevent you from using them as materials or tributes are conditions, not effects. And as their effects for their death occur while you do not control them, negating the effects of those you control does nothing.

 

Second effect is ok but could be better. Such as by Special Summoning the replacement to the side of the player who controlled it when it left. That would be ideal.

 

But even then, of course, this isn't the card Dustons need. The major thing they lack is a way to set off House Duston without reliance on the opponent's ignorance, and to do so with maximum effect, ie 3-4 Dustons for each player.

Damn, I was hoping that I could somehow make dustons into r1nk fodder. Guess I flubbed up there. Is there any way that I could do that? 

 

I do see what you mean about the other effects, though, and I think I have some ideas about how to do that...

There isn't no, and it wouldn't be necessary even if there was; we have White Duston for that.

 

I am eager to see your ideas in the future.

Well, in terms of suggestions . . . Aromas, Venom, and Dark Scorps.

 

As for these two, sadly I can't honestly judge on Machina or Duston, having seen neither archetype in action (as an archetype, that is: I've seen Fortress, and I've occasionally seen Gearframe), but I'm commenting to see what you can do to make the poor archetypes Konami overlooked into respectable fighting forces.

U copier .n.

 

K, Wightsprite tho???? I frankly see a ton of use in this card. The ability to return immediately after being banished is quite powerful, and the fact that it gets treated as a Skull Servant means immediate guaranteed 1000 ATK for King of the Skull Servants. The Special Summon 3 means that with Wightprince you can make meat shields or Xyz/Synchro summons into stuff like Formula or...a viable rank 1 that exists?

But yeah, the fact that you can banish it, then it goes back in grave, then summons 3 free dudes is sweet. I would suggest an Xyz Monster, but I wonder if the Deck is playable enough as it is.

 

You should add Gimmick Puppets.

Methinks you're misinterpreting the effect there, friendo. Send =/= return, sorry to say. What I originally intended was for this thing to hit the grave, summon some skull servant things, like wightprince and king, and then be used as fuel for prince banish and king revival. Good job spoting the rest though, you nailed it. 

 

Also How could I forget about GPs? I tried making a BriFu deck with them (it was bad, in case you were wondering)
