Calendark Archetype (20/20)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Calendark is an Archetype of Psychic/DARK Pendulum Monsters, there are 12 Pendulum Monsters that all represent a Level between 1 and 12. They also have ATK and DEF that represents their Level somewhat, like their level 1 having 100 ATK and 1100 DEF. They also have 4 Link Monsters which range from LINK-2 to LINK-4.

 

Each Pendulum Monster is able to be Special Summoned from your Pendulum Zone should you control a DARK monster whose Level is 1 less than what itself is, except for January Jaywalker, which requires a Level 12, which is of course to represent that you are changing the calendar. Each monster also is able to search should they be destroyed while in your Pendulum Zone, though you can't search other cards that turn, but you can still draw, so they are designed around that, letting you draw and search out cards from the Deck in other ways. Along with that, they focus a lot on Level changing, due to gimmick, Link Summoning and recycling their cards.

 

Their Link Monsters each has an effect that activates on Summon, as well as an effect that requires the monster to be linked to 2 or more monsters, in case you don't know what that means, they either have to point to something, or be pointed to by something, and the more you have, the better the effects tend to become.

 

Their name is a portmanteau of calendar and dark, and they each represent a month of the year, as other things related to the year and calendars. The monsters also each are based around crime and things typically related to the insane or criminally insane.

 

I kind of took a bit time off from making a new Archetype, but that's mostly because these required a lot of work due to them being Pendulum Monsters, as well as needing to make 12 cards right away, so I figured that I would simply do all of them at once instead. Also it's kind of my first Pendulum Archetype that also focuses on Link Monsters, so I wanted to make that work as well, which took some time to figure out how to do. It's kind of a lot of things going on here, but I think the generally idea worked, without being either under or overpowered, Pendulum Archetypes tend to be harder to make, especially now that you have to think about the Extra Monster Zone as well.
