What? Another Wyrm-Type Archetype (sort of). Oh Konami, you are making it so hard for me to hate you. So, Normal Monsters this time, that's based around Equip Spell Cards, reminds me of my Powerstroker Archetype, though this one only has one monster, and no way to really Summon it so far, I'm guessing that Pacifis, City of Mythic Radiance will decrease Normal Monsters' Levels in the hand by way more than other Umi clones.

Umm, the equip spells summon Spiral. You're supposed to just put this in a Normal mash deck

I meant to say that they don't Summon it directly, you have to use other monsters for it to work, which is not how my Archetype works. Sorry for the confusion.

ok

Field Spell eff:

(This card's name is always treated as "Umi".)
Once per turn, if you Normal or Special Summon exactly 1 Normal Monster: Add 1 "Mythic Radiance Dragon" card from your Deck to your hand. If your opponent activates a card or effect while you control no Token Monsters: You can Special Summon 1 "Mythic Radiance Dragon Token" (Wyrm-Type/WATER/Level 8/ATK 2000/DEF 2000). You cannot Normal or Special Summon Effect Monsters the turn you activate either of this card's effects.

[Progenitor]

I must say I like this.  It has the definite potential to be borderline degenerate though.  As of right now that isn't the case, but if Konami doesn't be careful with the power level of any future support this could be really freaking stupid.

 

Anyway, I really do like the concept as a whole, though.  It has really nice synergy with Passionate Duelist, and is a Trade-In target so running of the normal isn't out of the question if you want a dedicated deck rather than simply splashing it.  Hell you should at least be running 2 Spirals, because it enables you to potentially make rank 8s after the battle phase, which is definitely nice.  I'm looking forward to what people will be able to do with this, and how it evolves in the future.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Ok, so the field is not what I thought it was going to be, but it is quite a decent card, and Umi means you can do a lot of fun stuff. This is reminding me of Felgrand for some reason, they aren't like them really, but it seems to be designed by the same kind of people.

Story time:
 
[spoiler=Spiral Serpent attacked the A Legendary Ocean, the home of the Atlanteans, but was eventually forced to retreat after being shot by a Marksman and injured.]

[spoiler=It sank to depths and was reborn as SPIRAL, THE MYTHIC RADIANT DRAGON.]

[spoiler=With its new Wyrm-Typing, Spiral was able to destroy the Atlanteans, including their emperor, Poseidra!]

[spoiler=A Legendary Ocean was conquered, and Spiral sat as its new ruler, making little baby Tokens.]

 

 

I really like these. I hope there is some way to usefully use SPYRAL Spiral Serpent in it though.

[Tinkerer]

So... Can I build Gagagigo.dek now?

???

What potential

I guess in strong damage.play but that's hardly degenerate

Everything else is too restrictive to get even close

I mean, the fact the equip spells jump over to the Mystic Dragon you summon means you can do things like Crash on any random normal, then summon Spiral, it gets Crash, repeat 2 more times and you just casually swung for ~10,000 with only a searchable equip spell and whatever the hell normal monster you feel like running. I doubt it will be super OP or anything, but it does have the potential to just blow your opponent the f*** up with fairly good consistency.

 

EDIT: Missed the hard OPT, my bad. I blame OCG formatting being weird. Nvm it's not even close to OP.

The SS effect can only be used OPT. The best you'll do is summoning 2 Serpents with the 2 different Equip spells. Powerful? Yes, but not broken.

'cept both Equips have hard-OPTs on the summon effect. If you do get both equips out, you'll be able to bring out 2, but you can't bring in 3 off of 1 equip.

 

Anyone else wish the Field Spell token was a Dragon instead of a Wyrm to combo with that Dragon Lord continuous spell?

Yeah my bad, I totally missed that. Well, the archetype is still cool, but it's probably not good.

[Tinkerer]

On the slightly more practical side of things, these could play off of Paleozoics, couldn't they? The Paleoz are treated as normal monsters, plus they have difficulty hitting high ATK values under normal circumstances.

 

This could be used maybe as an engine to throw out a big beater for a final push. The equips and monster don't care a ton about hitting the grave (Deep Whirlpool's banish effect), and the Field spell's "no effect monster" condition can be just activated on the opponent's turn to grab a trap to then trigger more Paleoz summons.

Ok, I've updated the OP, adding images (in spoilers), a change to names of the cards to reflect what YGOrg is using and a note about another monster that's yet to be revealed!

 

One thing I find funny is that you can equip Spiral Hold to an attack position Normal Monster your opponent controls, and then suicide a weaker monster into the equipped Normal to trigger Hold's effect.

[Azuh]

While there's references to Spiral Serpent in these cards, it's a shame there's no direct support for it as well

Ye, it's a shame that realistically Spiral Serpent is (currently) basically unusable in a deck that's dedicated to it.

lol too many adverbs

[Kaiji]

I gots to thinking with a bud that there's a really cute Paleozoic build here. 

 

You'd forego the toad engine and just play the field spell and the archetype traps and just search them off anytime your opponent activates a card. You can't do much with the token but it's larger than Denko and being able to activate a trap from your hand for free.

 

Ascend to the next level and play slime toad to normal summon on your turn/
