Christmas Gift Thread 2020

Recommended Posts

After the original post that had all the intended Christmas gifts was destroyed, I decided that I was going to post each of the gifts, one at a time. So, I think I'm going to post them in whatever order I remember what the plan was.

First, @Ryusei the Morning Starwanted a Chaos Dragon lineup:

Nebula Dragonchick

LIGHT - Level 3 - Dragon/Tuner/Effect - 1000/1300

If you control a DARK Dragon monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Summon 1 "Nebula Dragonchick" per turn this way. You can only activate each of the following effects of "Nebula Dragonchick" once per turn:

●If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 DARK monster that can Special Summon itself by banishing at least 1 LIGHT monster from your Deck to your hand. 

●If this card is banished: Draw 1 card. 

 

Void Dragonchick

DARK - Level 3 - Dragon/Tuner/Effect - 1300/1000

If you control a LIGHT Dragon monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Summon 1 "Void Dragonchick" per turn this way. You can only activate each of the following effects of "Void Dragonchick" once per turn:

●If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can add 1 LIGHT monster that can Special Summon itself by banishing at least 1 DARK monster from your Deck to your hand. 

●If this card is banished, you can target 1 card on the field: Banish that target. 

 

Starfall Flare Dragon

LIGHT - Level 8 - Dragon/Effect - 2000/2800

You can banish 1 each of a LIGHT and DARK monster from your Graveyard: Special Summon this card (from your hand). If you control "Invasion of Chaos", you can Summon this card by its own effect during your opponent's Main Phase as a Quick Effect, but you can only Summon 1 "Starfall Flare Dragon" per turn this way. If this card is Summoned, and once per turn afterward: You can reduce the ATK of all monsters your opponent controls by 1000, then destroy as many monsters your opponent controls with 0 ATK as possible. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard by battle or card effect: You can banish 1 DARK Dragon monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. You can only activate this effect of "Starfall Flare Dragon" once per turn. 

 

Ebon Abyss Dragon

DARK - Level 8 - Dragon/Effect - 2800/2000

You can banish 1 each of a LIGHT and DARK monster from your Graveyard: Special Summon this card (from your hand). If you control a face-up "Invasion of Chaos", you can Special Summon this card during your opponent's Main Phase as a Quick Effect, but you can only Summon 1 "Ebon Abyss Dragon" per turn this way. If this card is Summoned, and once per turn afterward: You can reduce the ATK of all monsters your opponent controls by 1000, then negate the effects of all monsters your opponent controls with 0 ATK. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard by battle or card effect, you can banish 1 LIGHT monster from your Graveyard: Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. You can only activate this effect of "Ebon Abyss Dragon" once per turn. 

 

Dragoon of Chaos Riflong

LIGHT - Level 10 - Dragon/Effect - 3300/2700

Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 3 LIGHT and/or DARK monsters from your Graveyard. If all monsters banished for this card's Summon were Dragon monsters, this card's Summon and effects cannot be negated. Depending on the number of each of the following Attributes of monster banished for this card's Summon, this card can apply the appropriate effect(s) that number of times per turn:

●DARK: (Quick Effect): Banish 1 card from your opponent's Graveyard, then destroy all cards your opponent controls with the same name as the banished card.

●LIGHT: If this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle: Banish that destroyed monster, then this card gains 1 additional attack during each Battle Phase this turn. 

 

Invasion of Chaos

Continuous Spell 

When this card is activated: You can add 1 "Dragonchick" monster, "White Dragon Wyverburster", or "Black Dragon Collapserpent" from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate this effect of "Invasion of Chaos" once per turn. Once per turn, if at least 1 each of a LIGHT and DARK monster were banished from your Graveyard simultaneously: You can banish 1 card your opponent controls. Once during the End Phase, you can target 3 of your banished LIGHT and/or DARK Dragon monsters: Move 1 to each of the appropriate destinations, but your opponent selects 1 of them first:

●Your hand.

●Your Deck.

●Your Graveyard. 

So, Chaos Dragons. There's always been a bit too much randomness, a few too many mills for me personally to get too much from it; my luck has been atrocious for longer than I can remember. That said, I love Chaos as a strategy, and the boss design is always incredibly fun. Plus, I was given the opportunity to make a card named after one of the biggest leaps in powercreep this game ever got, so that's sick.

\\\\\\//////

For @Sleepy, Crush Blade was very . . . unique, as a design concept. 

 

Amagria, the Crush Blade

Equip Spell

Everyone else . . . You'll see your gifts in due time. I reiterate, I'm sorry for the lateness, but this was an incredible amount of nonsense.

For @Rayfield Lumina, who has been waiting more than long enough, Mindmelters! As promised, descriptions of how I pictured the art. 

 

Mindmelter Rippathic 

WATER - Level 2 - Psychic/Effect - 900/200
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can discard 1 "Mindmelter" card: Draw 2 cards. If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can return 1 face-up card on the field to the top of its original owner's Deck. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Rippathic" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:
●Once per turn, you can discard 1 card (Quick Effect): Add up to 2 "Mindmelter" monsters with different names from your Graveyard to your hand.

Rippathic, despite her low Level- the lowest in the archetype, in fact- is our leader, a spunky overexcited redhead with a long ponytail. Her outfit, notably, is a short blue dress over a pure white wetsuit, and she wears a small sapphire pendant, which would be visibly glowing. However, most unique to her, she carries a large war hammer that looks like it's made of sapphire like her pendant, and is glowing like the pendant is. She would be excitedly swinging it at the "viewer", aiming a strike. All monsters in the archetype will also feature an undersea castle in the background of the artwork.

Mindmelter Steamchic

WATER - Level 3 - Psychic/Effect - 600/1800

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can discard 1 card: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Mindmelter" monster from your hand or Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can destroy up to 2 Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls, and if you do, you can gain 800 LP for each card destroyed this way. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Steamchic" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, you can discard 1 card (Quick Effect): Target 1 card your opponent controls, negate its effects on the field for the rest of the turn.

Steamchic is the team's healer. Raven-haired, with long bangs covering effectively half her face and a braid over the opposite shoulder to the side of her bangs. Her outfit is thematically red, her dress slightly more revealing and cut shorter than Rippathic's, but she does still wear the white wetsuit underneath the dress. She wears a glowing ruby in a single earring, and she wields a glowing crimson rope dart (think MK's Scorpion). I was picturing her posed as slightly leaning back, the chain connected to the dart wrapped around one arm, with visible motion lines as it moves to strike something out of the viewer's sight.

Mindmelter Bubboracle

WATER - Level 3 - Psychic/Effect - 1000/1000

Once during the turn this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can Tribute 1 monster (Quick Effect): Add 1 "Mindmelter" monster from your Deck to your hand. If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can banish 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard, and if you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mindmelter" Tuner monster from your Graveyard. You can  only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Bubboracle" once per  turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, if your opponent Special Summons exactly 1 Effect monster, you can send 1 "Mindmelter" card you control to the Graveyard: Send the monster your opponent Summoned to the Graveyard, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to your opponent's sent monster's original ATK. 

Bubboracle is the team strategist, a quiet, bookish girl who has to do most of the thinking on an impulsive team like this. She's a brunette with waist-length hair and some classic '80s spectacles, and her green outfit is a more modest version of Rippathic's dress, which on our strategist falls all the way to the knee. She has her glowing gem, an emerald, in a small tiara, and a staff significantly taller than herself, of the same color and gem texture. I picture her being posed defensively, holding the staff sideways with a visibly stern expression.

Mindmelter Psychotide

WATER - Level 3 - Psychic/Effect - 1600/400

If this card is Normal Summoned, or Special Summoned by the effect of a "Mindmelter" card, you can send 1 non-Tuner "Mindmelter" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 "Mindmelter" monster from your Deck, except "Mindmelter Psychotide". If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can banish 1 card on the field. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Psychotide" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, if this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle, you can discard 1 card: Banish the destroyed monster, then this card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster until the End Phase. If this effect resolves, this card gains 1 additional attack during each Battle Phase this turn. 

Psychotide is not just our resident Dark Magical Girl, the semi-villainous girl with a sad backstory that's basically the starter pack villain in just about every magical girl series. Taller than the others, with short-cropped silver hair, a visibly tomboyish athlete, Psychotide is the only one whose outfit is visibly different from the others, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt that exposes her midriff, and black wetsuit-styled pants. She has a glowing white diamond as a navel piercing, and a longsword visibly made of the same glowing white gem material. She is visibly furious, swinging her blade one-handed as she simultaneously goes for a kick.

Mindmelter Foamind

WATER - Level 4 - Psychic/Effect - 1200/2000

Once while this card is face-up on the field, you can send 1 "Mindmelter" card from your Deck to the Graveyard (Quick Effect): Immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 "Mindmelter" monster. If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can send 1 card your opponent  controls to the Graveyard. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Foamind" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, if your opponent activates a card or effect from their hand or Graveyard, you can Tribute 1 "Mindmelter" monster: Negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card.

Foamind features Rayfield's favorite color, violet, front and center- long violet twintails, and a violet dress that matches the style of the other Mindmelters. She wears her gem, an amethyst, on a garter (that is, a band around her thigh), and her gem weapon is a chakram she's balancing on her arm. Unlike all the others, she's not ready to battle in her artwork- she's in a bit of a lazy pose, leaning back and smirking smugly at the viewer.

Mindmelter Familiar - Naia

WATER - Level 5 - Sea Serpent/Tuner/Effect - 1500/2200

If this card is sent from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card. If this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a "Mindmelter" card or effect, you can target 1 face-up monster on the field: Your opponent cannot Tribute that target or use it as Material for a Summon during this turn. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Familiar - Naia" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, your opponent Special Summons an Effect monster(s) from their Extra Deck during the Main Phase while they already control a monster(s), you can discard 1 card: Return that monster to the Extra Deck, then immediately end the Main Phase.

If a monster on the field has already gained this effect by the effect of "Mindmelter Familiar - Naia", you cannot apply this effect.

The Familiars are semi-monstrous sea ladies that need the powers of the Psychic Mindmelters to save their undersea home, and they notably feature the kingdom around the castle in their artwork, ruined and damaged. Naia is a lovely golden, orangey yellow, like a goldfish, and has bright yellow bands down the length of her mermaid body.

Mindmelter Familiar - Poseinaea

WATER - Level 5 - Sea Serpent/Tuner/Effect - 2300/1600

You can discard 1 card: Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is sent to the Graveyard by a "Mindmelter" card or effect: You can reduce the ATK of 1 monster on the field by 1600, then add this card from your Graveyard to your hand. You can only activate each of the above effects of "Mindmelter Familiar - Poseinaea" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, you can discard 1 card: Banish up to 3 cards from your opponent's Graveyard, and if you do, you can shuffle the same number of "Mindmelter" cards from your Graveyard into your Deck, then draw 1 card. 

Poseinaea is a more kraken-y sea lady- think Ursula from the Little Mermaid whose coloration looks like she might have been pure white at one point (given her hair is that color), but the further down her body you look, she slowly becomes a darker and darker shade of green, until the tips of her tentacles are almost black.

Mindmelter Familiar - Yue

WATER - Level 7 - Sea Serpent/Tuner/Effect - 2450/2450

If you control 2 or more face-up "Mindmelter" monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can Tribute 1 "Mindmelter" monster you control: Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower "Mindmelter" monster from your Graveyard. You can only activate this effect of "Mindmelter Familiar - Yue" once per turn. If this card is used as Material for the Summon of a "Mindmelter" monster, the Summoned monster gains the following effect:

●Once per turn, you can Tribute 1 monster you control (Quick Effect): Your opponent must return 1 face-up monster they control to their hand. 

Yue is another mermaid, but a lovely violet fish lady with starkly contrasting electric-blue bands down her tail and at the tips of her fins and fingertips.

Synchronized Mindmelters - Bubboracle

WATER - Level 8 - Psychic/Synchro/Effect - 2300/2800

1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner WATER monster

Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. Once per turn, if a "Mindmelter" card activates its effect in the Graveyard: You can draw 1 card, then, if the drawn card was a "Mindmelter" card, you can target 1 Zone on your opponent's field; during the End Phase, if this card is still face-up on the field, your opponent must return any card in that Zone to their hand. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can shuffle this card into your Extra Deck, then Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Mindmelter" monster from your Graveyard. You can only activate this effect of "Synchronized Mindmelters - Bubboracle" once per turn. 

Bubboracle and Naia team up in this artwork, decked out in fancy new emerald outfits, and are tethered together with a "rope" of green light. Naia now wears actual armor, and Bubboracle wears a very fishy-themed priestess dress, befitting her role as a mage and strategist, with a personal bodyguard in Naia.

Synchronized Mindmelters - Psychotide

WATER - Level 8 - Psychic/Synchro/Effect - 3000/1200

1 Tuner + 1 non-Tuner WATER monster 

Cannot be targeted for attacks or effects. If a card(s) your opponent owns is banished: You can banish 1 card from the top of your opponent's Deck, face-down, then increase this card's ATK by 200 for each of your opponent's banished cards. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can shuffle this card into your Extra Deck, then Special Summon 1 "Mindmelter" Tuner from your Graveyard. You can only activate this effect of "Synchronized Mindmelters - Psychotide" once per turn. 

Psychotide has embraced her turn to good here, with a new mostly-white outfit with black trim . . . but, notably, she now has a dark onyx anklet, and an all-black buckler to go with her pure white sword. Poseinaea is tethered to her with white light, and wears the top half of knight's armor made of the same glowing white gem material as Psychotide's sword. They're posed as ready to defend each other, back-to-back.

Synchronized Mindmelters - Rippathic

WATER - Level 9 - Psychic/Synchro/Effect - 3300/2600

1 Sea Serpent Tuner + 1 non-Tuner monster

If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return this card to your Extra Deck, then shuffle 1 each of a Tuner and non-Tuner "Mindmelter" monster from your Graveyard into your Deck: Immediately after this effect resolves; Synchro Summon, treating those shuffled cards as Synchro Material and applying any appropriate effects. You can only activate this effect of "Synchronized Mindmelters - Rippathic" once per turn. 

Rippathic and Yue are posed together, again in brand-new outfits, tethered together by glowing blue light. Rippathic's war hammer has now grown to absurd, Monster Hunter weapon sizes, and Yue is dressed like an azure-armored samurai, and has an oversized odachi to complement Rippathic's oversized hammer.

Mindmelters' Grand Palace

Field Spell 

"Mindmelter" monsters you control gain 300 ATK.

OHHHHHHHH DAMN IT This is amazing, Draco!!

Me reading:

tenor.gif

 

Let's see, where do I start?

The effects are exactly what I like. Tons and tons of combo potential here. Searching everywhere, destroying/banishing/sending directly to the GY/negating Summons/Negating Effects/Returning to the hand, these girls have no mercy xD. I find it interesting that the Tuners are the big punchy monsters (except Naia) since usually the Tuners are the weaklings in the archetype. I like the descriptions as well (heck, I'll keep saying I like I like 'cause I liked). Not so keen on "outfit is a more modest version of Rippathic's dress, which on our strategist falls all the way to the knee"  and more enthusiast about "her dress slightly more revealing and cut shorter than Rippathic's", but that's cause I'm evil xD. Just because I'm picky and want to be 100% honest, the one thing that I didn't quite agree with is Psychotide's navel-piercing, I mean, it goes well with her personality but I'm no fan of piercings (you can ignore this comment, she's alright).

I have not enough knowledge of the meta to tell if this is the case, but I can't imagine this archetype as not very high tier. It's pretty difficult to stop them. Sure, you can negate ' stuff, like vs most other decks, but these ladies have the advantage that even if the effects are negated, if the activation isn't, they can still pay for cost and activate another member's effect.

Some notes about members in particular:

Without disparaging any girl in particular, since they all feel great to me, I feel Rippathic and Psychotide as the MVPs. They're both sick. Rippathic's spin effect is quite outrageous, almost a wincon by itself, and Psychotide's capability to feed your Graveyard and field in one shot is brutal, I'd say it doesn't matter much the fact that it's not a OPT effect such as Neptabyss' due to their great power. Then we have Steamchic obliterating backrow with an ease  Mobius would only dream of, Foamind bypassing anti-destruction effects while GG (and yeah, purple twintails is a ✅) and Bubbo leaving everything ready for another Synchro Summon. The fact that they grant their Extra Deck mobs an additional effect is just the icing in the cake

*Yue - She can Tribute 1 Mindmelter and SS back a Mindmelter from the GY. Maybe a clause to prevent the same monster from being Tributed and SS'd is in order, otherwise seems a bit abusing. But the effect is fantastic, just that tiny thing.

*Synchronized Rippathic - Pretty much you summon her first turn and it's goodbye for the opponent, despite the HOPT xD. I have a concern about his card: She is sent to the GY, then returned to the Extra. After that, 1 tuner and 1 non-Tuner are shuffled and you Synchro Summon. But in that case, wouldn't that mean she herself can be Summoned again right away? You use Rippathic and Yue as materials, she arrives and does her thing, then you send her to the GY for whatever effect, shuffle the same materials used to SS her and back to the field. Sure, she has HOPT, but maybe there's a way to avoid this, like adding "---  "then shuffle 1 each of a Tuner and non-Tuner "Mindmelter" monster from your Graveyard into your Deck, except the monsters used to Synchro Summon this card". Talking about HOPTs, you used it for each of her effects, so "You can only use each effect of "Synchronized Mindmelters - Rippathic" should suffice. Hey, don't wanna be annoying here, I'm allowed to give some pointers about grammar as well, right? n.n

*Grand Palace - It would seem you intended to give the Palace 2 effects, but one was cut. Don't worry, I know you had to do this twice, and some stuff might have gotten mixed up?

Loving Meeting's Daigusto Emeral-like effect, it's important for this deck to shuffle used up tools to keep the combo going. Embrace is nice as it is, but it'd be a first turn killer card if it prevented a mob being used as material instead of being Tributed. Rescue has a similar issue as a couple other cards, you Tribute and immediately revive the card. It's a little too evil, so a clause to ask SS something except the Tributed card or something with a different name sounds good, I think. Final Victory is slick and sick. I'd just add a HOPT because you could just pay with the Trap, set it, pay, set, etc as long as you have many Mindmelters that can pay for their costs with any card.

Well, that's my review, like I've been saying over and over I loved it, and the details I mentioned are in the interest to make everything better, hope you don't find them annoying, of course I'm grateful you did all of this, again, Huge Thanks, this is a really nice gift! @Draconus297

@Rayfield Lumina

In order of you addressing them . . .

●One of the girls had to be the prude, it just happens to be our cute geeky Bubboracle here. 

●Rippathic and Psychotide being the MVPs was 100% intentional. They're our Magical Girl Leader and our Dark Magical Girl, if anyone else was better than them the theming would be off lmao. Rippathic was made a necessary, key consistency girl so that you're locked into playing her, and Psychotide is arguably the biggest play enabler in the entire Main Deck. 

●Yue Tributing a girl as cost, and then immediately bringing her back, was considered during development, but the only real use that would have would be triggering the Graveyard effect on somebody- the on-Summon effects are all HOPT, and it's unlikely that any of the non-Tuners would ever survive your opponent's turn for you to use that to re-trigger an on-Summon effect.

●Fun fact? That was 100% intentional. Your opponent is forced to kill her twice to get rid of Synchronized Rippathic for any real length of time- one Kaiju shouldn't be able to take out your entire gameplan.

●Grand Palace was originally going to have a floating effect that involved all 5 Psychics, but . . . yeah. 

●Final Victory has a HOPT.

Okay! At any rate everything I said was with good intention, I'm not particularly worried about the issues I pointed out (the stronger the better xD), heck, I even had a feeling some of them were made with intention, but I decided to include them as a honest review from my part :) 

Again, thanks a lot for the gift, I have copied it all, it's awesome!
