Dualmind Archetype (17/17)


Atypical-Abbie

Recommended Posts

Dualmind is an Archetype of Level 4 and 5 Psychic WIND Gemini monsters with 1500 ATK and DEF for the Level 4s, and 2000 ATK and DEF for the Level 5s, and also some Link Monsters. Each monster has two effects you can choose from when you make them become an Effect Monster, which are similar, but have different uses for the situation you need them in. Along with that, they have ways of getting multiple effects at once, for example with their Link Monsters, and use Dualmindfield to push their monster spam plays to boost up their ATK and DEF. They are based around psychological concepts and the brain and mind as a whole, hence their name and Psychic typing. There is no real reason to have them be WIND though, only to be original.

Damn. How did I miss this before? I absolutely love what you've done with the concepts of a Gemini monster, giving this archetype a unique take on them while simultaneous buffing them just with your new, unintrusive concept. Let's see whether the cards themselves live up to scratch, hey? of course they will zaziuma made them

 

As said before, I love how much versatility these cards have, and how some provide you with similar options for differing scenarios while you have one that compliments itself. Really, the only underwhelming effect (not monster) is on Jealous Insanity's returning to the GY effect. It returns targets for your other cards that have been banishing by its first effect or your Psychoanalysis' GK Fusion effect, but this is very situational and it's only a sweetener; more more so than the other "weaker" effects. This is a shame, as I really liked the idea it had of effects complimenting-each-other theme more so than "similar but different" effects. This, I feel, makes more sense when combined with the cards or effects that grant them both of their effects. Ah well, as it stands, none of the main-deck monsters are particularly lackluster, and some of them are really neat.

 

The activating and continuous effect of Development clash a little, at least imo. Yes, they serve slightly different purposes, and it is a theme with the rest of the monsters, but...I still think it should be something different. Still keep the Gemini support; I like the slight genericness of the first 2 links. Wish the 3rd had a similar genericness for Geminis, but its still very supportive. Actually, yeah; all of these monsters are just supportive. There's no real boss here at the moment, but they do have a win condition in terms of battle.

 

Really looooooooooooove all of the Spells/Traps. No complaints there, and I am amazed by the flavour and creativity you got up to here. Your monsters have their main quirk but not too much beyond that, and your Link monsters are rather simple, but these cards...weow. Soulmates, Activity, and their conditions to activate from the hand. Lovely. If only the Field had some sort of protection/recycling, but it's probably fine as is.

 

WIND Psychics with a creative gimmick. I just feel you don't take it too much beyond that in the monster line-up, but that's most personal. The only real solid complaints are the lack of a boss and a slight weakness here and there, but these are also slight. Another great set by you.

Stereotypical Development, not sure what you mean about this, it grants the monster its effect, though only while it points to it does it grant them both. As for your comment about the requirements, I realized the Tokens, which was intended to make Tribute Summoning easier, could be used for more, so I gave them a Normal Monster and "Dualmind" monster requirements for the new Link Monsters so they could be more useful.

 

Jealous Insanity I do admit isn't the best they have, I threw it in to have some more low Level ones to choose from, and since they also banish their stuff with various effects, Psychoanalysis and Soulmates being the most regular banishing you'll probably do, I figured I would make a card that can take advantage of that, and quickly get back things to the GY for Cognitive Unity or Hereditary Angst to take advantage of.

 

Dualmind Pain Repressor was what I considered the boss at first, since it's more aggresive than the others are, though Dualmind Therapeutic Judgment has 2500 ATK, or 2800 with the field while on its own, I feel like that's good enough, as the Deck is meant to support using multiple monsters in combination with each other.
