Bluvista Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 The Aura archetype is a unique one in the fact that they are similar to Toon monsters. They are also similar to Specter's Sunavalons. They all have the annoying, "Cannot be targeted for attacks, but doesn't prevent your opponent from direct attacking." clause. But they also have, "Cannot be selected as the target for card effects." and the, "While this card is face-up on the field, it is treated as not being on the field."* clauses. So they all have really, really good protection from just about anything. But wait, there's more! You can just activate a field negate effect on these guys, Why? Because it will have no effect! All of the Aura Monsters also have a secondary type, that being the Aura-type. (EARTH/Fusion/Warrior/Flip/Aura/Effect) just as an example. The way this works is that so long as they have their "Aura" typing, they retain their annoying protection effects. field negation doesn't work because field negation doesn't affect Aura typing. (Unless you make a card that specifically counters the "Aura" typing) And of course DNA Surgery would fail as well seeing as the Aura typing is secondary to Warrior. It would be the same principle for a Tuner monster or a Union monster. DNA surgery wouldn't change the fact that they are Tuners or Union monsters. Anyways, long rant aside, here is the Archetype. (I am well aware at how absurd some of these cards are, but keep in mind that a fair majority of this stuff isn't that good. And you have to play the not as good stuff to reap the benefits of the really good cards. ) Also the fusion monsters are exactly like the Neos fusions in that they shuffle materials into the deck, and can do so without a fusion card. However, they don't return to the extra deck. This power is limited to the field only though. (thank god, we don't need a deck that can send materials from the hand into the deck for free anytime it wants and fusion summon whatever it desires with ease.)

Rayfield Lumina Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Ok, ok. This archetype seems to be annoying as burning hell for the opponent to take on, isn't it? I have to point out firstly, that you seem to be a little confused about what is a Flip Summon. You can only consider a monster to be Flip Summoned when you manually flip it from face-down Defense Position to face-up Attack Position, this during your Main Phase 1 or 2. Not even doing this by a card effect such as Book of Taiyou would count as a Flip Summon. I mention this because your monsters say "If this card is flipped summoned during the battle phase". Since you cannot Flip Summon during the Battle Phase, you must mean when your monster is attacked by the opponent and it is flipped face-up, which is different. Flipped face-up is the term you use precisely when your face-down monster is attacked or is affected by a card effect that make it change to face-up position, either Attack or Defense. I've read the whole archetype, but for now I want to refrain from giving you a detailed opinion, since we're still missing Spell/Traps, and, of course, the extra deck. But I want to say that this looks much more balanced than the Vizors, having much more acceptable effect and their greatest appeal residing in their tremendous immunity capabilities. Still, Forbidden Aura Technique of Ultimate Drawing seems extremely hard to activate, I don't think you will be having lot of moments when you have 5 cards in your hand. Also, I'm pretty sure you'll explain to me why, but the Technique of Training effect of changing an Aura monster to face-down is not redundant since all of them can do that by themselves?

Horu Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Well since Aura monsters don't actually count as bodies on the field and can't protect you, you really have to play with a lot of strategy in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluvista Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 thanks for the first response. Technique of training, Sacred Temple, and a third card which has yet to be posted can all change the battle positions of "Aura" monsters. There is no OPT effect on any of these, so you CAN, flip them face up and/or face down as many times as you please. Having 3 different cards that flip them, and having them flip themselves is just a way of allowing them to activate their effects multiple times per turn. Making them generally more annoying. Also, yes, I will change that to "When flipped face-up" thanks for pointing that out. Here is the remainder of the Archetype Aura Fusion Normal Spell You can target 1 "Aura" fusion monster in your extra deck or GY, shuffle the required "Aura" monsters from your hand, field or GY into your deck, then special summon that "Aura" fusion monster. (This special summon is treated as an fusion summon) You can only activate 1 "Aura" Fusion" per turn. Ultimate Forbidden Techniques of Aura Mastering You can only activate this card if it is the only card in your hand, there are no cards in your GY, there are no cards o your field, and there are at least 20 cards in your deck. Pay LP so that you only have 1 left, shuffle this card into your deck, then draw until your have 6 cards in your hand. When you next draw this card during your draw phase, Banish all other cards in your hand, on your field, and in your GY, if you have at least 20 cards in your Banish zone, you win the duel. If not, you lose the duel. You cannot conduct your battle phase the turn you activate this card. You can only activate each effect of "Ultimate Forbidden Techniques of Aura Mastering" once per duel. You can only activate 1 "Ultimate Forbidden Techniques of Aura Mastering" per turn. Aura Technique of Defense Continuous Trap Your opponent cannot attack directly. Once per turn, "Aura" card you control cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effect. If there is an "Aura Technique of Ultimate Defense" in your GY, you cannot activate this card. Aura Technique of Ultimate Defense Continuous Trap Your opponent cannot attack directly. While both this card and another Face-up "Aura" card are on the field, "Aura" cards cannot be destroyed by battle or by effect.
