(Written) Starclan Archetype

[Phelphor, of the Deep]

I'm such a big star that the even these cards that I have made will shine. Welcome to the Starclan archetype. Starclan are a group or family of assassins that will do anything for money and very skilled killers. These monsters main mechanic is to target 1 other member of the group to boost their attack power then they banish so they can not be mess with plus gaining additional stuff when they get banished as well.

 

 

Starclan is all about teamwork to complete their mission and assassinate their targets, using each to gain strength and allude taking damage.

Field Spell doesn't need the activation restriction, not when you have the effect restriction as well. Also, all of these cards miss timing, as because they specify "when this card is banished" and they all banish as costs, the last thing that happens after they banish themselves is the effect that results from said banishing. It would be better to use "If this card is banished", as that would properly apply after the chain is resolved.

 

Other than that, it's a simple set. Field Spell is a must to grant you your immediate and following search, and the other two spells along with their immediate bonuses and later restocking are also simply good...key word being simple. Interesting regarding their reliant of monsters, but I guess it allows you to full restock your hand after your opponent makes their plays. Counter Trap is also decent, and again, simple. The whole set of S/T is entirely effective, so congrats.

 

Unfortunately, outside of said spells, it's really hard to set up a field, but considering you have something that can search both quick-plays, and both quick-plays provide advantage. Relying on them could be dangerous, but I guess that's a risk worth taking if you get these bad boys out. I love the supportive theme you have going on between them all, but 'tis a little...weak...at times. Even though their on banish effect do need HOPT to prevent abuse, when they do end up banishing themselves...attacking directly at the cost of 1000 ATK and DEF? That's barely anything. 300 LP loss and gain? What? This is consistent, with a few exceptions (like monster effect protection boi Green), but then we have Clear and Shadow. They both have no HOPT on their granting effect, meaning you can infinitely Summon monsters and infinitely target and negate effects. It seems a little all over the place, and it doesn't seem like you had much idea of what you were doing for those two. Also, what does Green actually do? Does it become immune to monster effects, or just that monster effect?

 

There are some really bad cards here, and some really OP ones, but the general theme seems to be a good one. I like this set of yours for the most part, although I wish the quality was more consistent. You do have to work on your card grammar though, as it is right now a mish-mash that is confusing to read and probably turning off potential other reviewers.

Fixed that.....

If combo correctly the monster can attack directly and inflicting bonus effect damage and restores 300 lp of the owner while getting to attack twice during that battle phase.

Green Makes the targeted monster unaffected by all of the opponent's monsters effects (Until the end phase)

 

 

Then we have Clear and Shadow. They both have no HOPT on their granting effect, meaning you can infinitely Summon monsters and infinitely target and negate effects. It seems a little all over the place, and it doesn't seem like you had much idea of what you were doing for those two.

 

HOPT? infinite? do not see how... fixing it to nerf it (in case of infinites) Clear now only Special Summon level 4 or lower Starclans (making itself which it already excluded in the original version and now shadow as well...)
