The Adventures of Sherhunt, a Sherlock Holmes based Archetype

[Perry Ellis.]

Hello everybody, I'm back this time with a brand new Archetype called "The Adventures of Sherhunt". This Archetype is based off of the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and its characters. As always comments and critiques are much appreciated, Enjoy!

 

[spoiler=Archetype Overview]

This Ritual based archetype is all about bringing out the boss monsters with relative ease, each boss monster however first gets summoned to your opponent's side of the field first with some devastating effects and then is special summoned back to your field upon being sent to the grave.

Beast/Effect

When this card is summoned, you can add one "Adventures of Sherhunt" Spell/Trap card from your deck to your hand. When this card is sent to the graveyard by card effect, you can banish one "Adventures of Sherhunt" Spell/Trap card from your graveyard and then add this card to your hand.

Ritual tribute fodder, no way around it.

 

Moriarkitty

Just like any good villain, he lets "Detective Sherhunt" get close before escaping back to deck.

2500/1800

 

One of the 2 ace monsters of the archetype, while his effect alone might not seem to attractive, its ritual spell allows you to summon it to your opponent's side of the field, effectively locking down their field and possibly any chance of attacking you if you have Detective Sherhunt or Doctor Westin on your side of the field.

[spoiler=Spells]

Advenutes of Sherhunt Vol.2 Case of the Baskerville

Ritual

This card is used for the ritual summon of "Adventures of Sherhunt: Alpha Baskerville, Cerburus". You must tribute monsters from your hand, or field whose levels equal 10 or more. You can only use this effect once per turn. You can banish this card from your graveyard, target 1 level 4 or lower Dark Beast monster on your side of the field. your opponent cannot target that monster with card effects until the end of your next turn.

 

just a normal ritual spell with the added perk or target protection after use.

 

Advenutes of Sherhunt Vol.3 Case of the Ripper

Ritual

This card is used for the ritual summon of "Adventures of Sherhunt: Jack Russel the Ripper". You must tribute monsters from your hand, or field whose levels equal 12 or more. You can only use this effect once per turn. You can banish this card from your graveyard, target 1 level 4 or lower Dark Beast monster on your side of the field. It can make a second attack this turn.

 

Again, just a ritual spell but it combos nicely with deductive reasoning for a full force direct attack.

 

Fetch

Normal

Only activate this card, if you control a face up Dark-Beast type monster. pay 800 life points, then randomly add one card from your opponent's hand to yours.

 

just a fun spell based on dogs...you know, since the archtype is a bunch of dogs...

 

Deductive Reasoning

Continuous

If your opponent controls a level 5 or higher Dark-Beast type monster, and you control a level 4 or lower Dark-Beast type monster. your monsters can attack your opponent directly but the damage is halved.

 

the final piece of the combo with "Jack Russel", lock your opponent out and then start attacking in full force. 

 

Dogland Yard

Field

All level 4 or lower Dark-Beast type monsters gain 500 ark and def. During the End phase of the turn you ritual summoned a monster, you can discard one card, add the Ritual Spell card used this turn to your hand.

 

A helpful field spell, it powers up the lower level monster while providing a potential ritual spell recycler for you.
