Perry Ellis. Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 This archetype is based on pairs of famous historical dark horse (or underdogs) and their adversaries who made them famous.thanks in advance for the C+C![spoiler= inspiration]the idea for this archetype came to me while I was designing Dark Horse Shepard David. i wanted its effect to have to deal with the Scapegoat and Stray Lamb cards, and thats when it hit me. Why not make an archetype with token monsters as its back bone. Both Contender and Dark Horse utilize token monsters for their effects, however they utilize them in different ways. Contender monsters are used to bring out tokens and then they can tribute them to activate their effects. On the other hand Dark Horse monsters punish your opponent for the destruction of tokens.

Before the damage step, if this card is battling a level 5 or higher monster, destroy it before damage calculations. If a token is destroyed you gain 1000 life points. During your End phase, target as many monsters on your opponent's side of the field as face up token monsters, shuffle the targeted monsters into your opponents deck. Our field reseter, helps clear the field of any set traps or spells. He also combos well with Dark Horse General Maximus since he can even clear tokens summoned to your opponent's side of the field.

If a token monster is destroyed by battle, add 1"Dark Horse" or "Contender" Spell/Trap to your hand. This card gains 300 attack for every token monster on the field. Our Spell/Trap searcher, he's really helpful in searching out Legendary Dark Horse Tale, which can help bring back destroyed Contender or Dark Horse monsters, or Contender's regime, which can help special summon other Dark Horse monsters. Dark Horse General MaximusEarth - Level 1 - Warrior/Effect - 3000/2500This card can only be normal summoned by tributing 3 level 8 or higher monsters.

If a face up Token monster is on the field, you can activate "Dark Horse" or "Contender" trap cards without having to set them first, you can only use this effect once per turn. Part of the sub Contender's Regime Dark Horse archetype, this card deals with revenge destruction just like roland did in real life, he also comes with the added effect of being able to turn traps into spells. Dark Horse Samurai TakamoriEarth - Level 4 - Warrior/Effect - 2300/1900This card can only be normal summoned by tributing 3 level 8 or higher monsters.

More of a defensive monster really, with his ability to halve monster's ATK plus the added bonus of dealing damage to your opponent whenever they think its a good idea to destroy one of your tokens.

[spoiler= Traps] Contender's training regimenQuick PlayIf a Contender monster is targeted for an attack or attacks , it gains ATK points equal to half the DEF of your opponent's monster. basically a poor man's trap version of honest. But, with the added benefit of being able to activate it like a spell if Dark Horse Paladin Roland is on the field. Pinpoint AccuracyNormalThis card can only be activated if a "Dark Horse" monster is face up on the field, destroy 2 Spell/Trap cards. This card's effect cannot be negated and cannot be chained. With Dark Horse Shepard David being the mascot of the archetype, i needed to give him a signature Spell or Trap card. I thought about making it destroy a monster instead of 2 Spell/Trap cards but with the fire power already in the archetype and the lack of Spell/Trap destroyers I thought this idea would be better. Indentured ServitudeQuick PlayThis card can only be activated if a "Contender" monster is face up on the field. When your opponent's monster declares an attack, destroy that monster. If you do special summon as many "Dark Horse" tokens (Warrior-type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK0/DEF0) in attack position on your side of the field as possible. These tokens cannot be use for a tribute summon or be tributes to activate an effect except for "Dark Horse" or "Contender" cards. this card's effect can only be used once per turn. with the main idea behind Contender monsters being rulers or regimes known for not being "the peoples favorite" (for lack of a better phrase) i also wanted to create a card that would take an opponent's monster and, like the name suggests, put it to work for you in the form of new tokens.
