KoleidoScope Archetype [WRITTEN] (12/??)

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples!

 

I'd posted a portion of this archetype in a larger thread, but I liked the concept and wanted to post the whole thing in its original form.

 

The gimmick is a bunch of cards that have a specific condition as part of their effects, but their field spell changes their playstyle by changing the actual card text of those conditions.  The archetype is aggro, but (with one exception) the deck uses the opponent's monsters as a source of damage.

KoleidoScope Hive
Field Spell
"Kaleidoscope" monsters you control gain 200 ATK.  "Kaleidoscope" monsters your opponent controls lose 200 ATK.  Change the text of all "Kaleidoscope" monsters you control from "If you control no Spell/Trap cards" to "For each Spell/Trap card you control".

 

**KoleidoScope Glory Wing

KoleidoScope Sniping

Activate if neither player controls a Spell/Trap. Destroy 1 monster on the field then send 1 "KoleidoScope" monster from your Deck to the GY.

 

**KoleidoScope Marshaling Force
Trap
If you control no Spells/Traps, you can activate this card from your hand.  Add 1 "KoleidoScope Hive" from your Deck or GY to your hand.  If you control "KoleidoScope Hive", you can add 1 "KoleidoScope" monster from your Deck or GY to your hand instead.

 

Note: Cards marked with ** are ones that I added recently.

 

I'm not sure if I actually have much else to say about these.  I think I'm gonna try to do more with the whole changing wording mechanic, but it can be pretty finicky, so I'll have to see.

 

Anyways, as always, CnC much appreciated!

 

Cheers!
