Oh, nice!  I am in the process of writing a story that heavily relies on isekai tropes, lol.

In any case, I really like the lore behind these!  I can definitely see some of the inspirations and you can tell how the story plays out.  Do you have a full story behind these?

If I were looking at the cards more objectively, I would have to say they are a little bit too generic.  Copying effects is a pretty dangerous mechanic and it is really difficult to balance.  If not properly balanced or limited in some way, you could end up drawing infinite cards by copying stuff like "Reckless Greed" multiple times, or inflicting infinite burn damage.

Still, I love how much effort went into these, so I can't get too upset about it 😅

Cheers!

***stares, dumbstruck***

Oh, goodness, an archetype of 25 cards, with some more cards incoming x_x.

First and foremost, thanks for the share. It's nice to see someone passionate, making a ton of cards of the stuff they like. I have a Touhou archetype which is not unlike this, with so many cards that I've never really wanted to share due to the humongous length of the post. I absolutely don't want to discourage you in making more like this in the future, but I friendly suggest that other archetypes to come are much smaller. In the competitive perspective, that's essentially better. A compact archetype with key effects full of synergy is typically more effective that a lot of cards that do a little of everything. On the other hand, as for feedback, you're more likely to receive replies. People is sometimes discouraged in reading through your post if they just can't find the end of it xD. And of course, making a valid, useful  review becomes harder as there's too much information to take in and little time to do so due to real life. Ah well, I can't talk without blame, I'm still working on something that's currently 15 cards long with 5 more incoming, hehe. Anyway, I didn't want your effort to go without replies, and I hope my posting here is the beginning of some more posting from other people.

1) Traveller from another world -

PE - If you control an "Isekai" monster or "Another World?" while this card is face-up in your Pendulum Zone: You can Special Summon as many "Isekai" monsters in your Pendulum Zones as possible.
ME - If this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 "Isekai" card from your Deck to your hand.

Some grammar polish, also, I have a suggestion: Add a clause that says "This cards is always treated as an "Isekai" card to all Spells, except the Adventurer Guild, or add Isekai to the Spells' names. This way, you can search for them with effects such as this one, which adds to the hand any archetypal card. Note how I omit certain wording you're using, like "the field spell", "search your Deck" or "show it to your opponent". None of these are required for the current card grammar of YGO n.n

2) Mearla - Please, can you upload the artwork for me to have? She's really pretty, I'd like to have that image. Ahem, anywho, use GY instead of Graveyard. You could use thhis formula for her effect:

Once per turn: You can target 1 Spell in your GY; banish it, and if you do, replace this card's effect with the target's until the end of this turn.

Again, only say "Add 1 Spell from your GY to your hand" instead of the search thingy. The monster effect is pretty strong in itself, I'm not sure if the prevention of using it the same turn is enough, but let's go with it. The replacement effect is too problematic though, as there are a myriad of possible cards you could copy for potentially devastating effects.

3) Fumamu - Pretty much the same as above, but for Traps.

4) Marian - Tricky, I'm not sure if this wording is correct, but let's have a go. I'll take a bit of liberty to make the effect more flexible:

PE: During the turn you have Pendulum Summoned (Quick Effect): You can send this face-up card in your Pendulum Zone to the GY, and if you do, "Isekai" monsters Pendulum Summoned while this card was in the Pendulum Zone are unaffected by your opponent's card effects

Sorry, but this card is a no. What you're offering here is almost the absolute protection, "unaffected by your opponent's card effects". Extremely unbalanced, you require to tone down the effect by making it a more partial effect, or a the same protection that only lasts during a certain phase and/or turn. The girl is sexy, tho xD

5) Reina, the Princess - Lol, well, Reina means "Queen" in spanish, so essentially she's the Princess called Queen xP.

P.E. When an "Isekai" monster you control is targeted by your opponent's card effect: You can send this card to the GY; negate the effect, and if you do, shuffle that card into the opponent's Deck.

6) Gibbli - Alrighty, now we're into Pokemon territory! When you said more cards are coming, you meant Gabite and Garchomp' xD

The card is perfect in general 👍. The effect that makes it be banished is the correct measure to balance it. There's something problematic, not because of this card, but because of the Draconic Knight. How are you going to summon him, if you need Gible Gibbli + other monsters, and you don't have other Lv 2 monsters in the deck while Knight is Lv 8 Synchro? You'll need official cards to do the trick, but given how this archetype is huge, I imagined the whole deck would be archetypla cards.

7) Traveller with Tech - Pls lower the ATK, probably BEWD stats (3000/2500) is fine.Now, here's a weird effect "Your opponent cannot use monsters with the same name". What is use? So far, there's no such a thing, so I'd advise saying something like "Your opponent cannot Summon monsters with the same name" or "Cannot activate the effect of monsters with the same name"... or both

8) Demon Lord - Welp, Demon Lord is da Demon Lord, it had to be stronk. It's not terribly overpowered, but the auto Summoning is concerning. Good thing it's only unaffected by monster effects, so there are plenty of cards to deal with it

9)Power of Friendship - Honestly, I'd rather it be 2 material for the summon, even if the ATK goes down a little, 3 monsters is a lot. Again, for the Spell-copy effect, it's too dangerous. Btw, when you do the overlay susing other Xyz, it'd be good measure to say "(Transfer its materials to this card). Final protection effect is basically a given and pretty strong, I'm not sure about that either.

10) Dark Future - Pretty much same as above

11) Dark Tragedy - Welp, this guy is pretty crazy. Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but directly copying effects is terribly strong. I'd rather make it gain half of the ATK of the equipped monster or something.

12) It's fine :)

13) Dragon Raider - Everything ok up to the second copying effect xD You could make the ATK 3000, but I also have a Touhou Synchro of Lv 8 and 3050, so lol, I can't complain

14) Prince - Dude, again the copying effect x_x

15) Magic Everlasting - .......... well.

16) Roguish - First effect is plenty strong, but cool. I'd rather these kind of add to the hand effects were limited to the archetypal cards. I needn't mention I'm against the copying Trap effect.

17) Father of His Flock - Phew, finally not a copying effect. Again, the addint to hand effect is too stronk, so perhaps making it archetypal, and even with a restriction of Lv "Add 1 Level 4 or lower "Isekai" monster from your Deck to your hand.

18) Cruel Fate - Cool, contact fusion! Not cool, it also has a copying effect lol

19) King - Our King is missing the Attribute. The effect is strong, but ok.

20) Another World? - Omit the search. "When this card is activated: You can Special Summon 1 "Isekai" monster from your Deck. Man, so many protective effects, it'll be hard to fight against these guys. I can relate to the anti-negation of summoning, that gets on my nerves too.

21) Cheat Skill? - Yeah, the effect is a cheat skill

22) - Skill Board - Ok, ok, fun and interesting. Last effect, which lets you add 2 instead of 1 card, is OP. You could add 4 vital cards with this one spell, which is no good. Keep the effect, but change the requirement: If you control 3 or more "Isekai" monsters with different names, add 2 cards from your hand instead. Also, very important: Make it so you can't use both effects in the same turn. "Except during the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then etc...

23) Adventurer's Guild - Ok, but make each effect once per turn clauses. Otherwise, your opponent simply cannot attack your stuff, and you can endlessly increase your ATK. No good, specially considering a lot of stuff have effect protection so the opponent's only alternative is attacks. Come on, man, give the opponent a chance.

24) Powers combined - Kinda ok, but last effect is overkill. At least, make it so you need to banish a monster you control. Banishing from the GY to lol and recover is too mild of a cost.

25) A Failed Summon - No, man, you can even banish stuff from the opponent's GY to do your thing? Also, the double level part is way too convenient. Complete revamp, pls.

I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE IT, I made it through them all! It took me more than an hour, lol. Btw, please take everything positively. I might have been critic to a lot of your cards, but it's all NOT with the intention of discouraging you, but to make them better. 

Welp, see ya around. Also, I see you're new to YCM, so welcome n.n

 

P.D. Only thing that worries me is that I also plan to make an Isekai theme archetype (for real for real, but you beat me to it xD) Don't worry though, it's bound to be rather different, and I want to draw myself the art for each card.

11) Dark Tragedy - Welp, this guy is pretty crazy. Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but directly copying effects is terribly strong. I'd rather make it gain half of the ATK of the equipped monster or something.

12) It's fine :)

13) Dragon Raider - Everything ok up to the second copying effect xD You could make the ATK 3000, but I also have a Touhou Synchro of Lv 8 and 3050, so lol, I can't complain

14) Prince - Dude, again the copying effect x_x

15) Magic Everlasting - .......... well.

16) Roguish - First effect is plenty strong, but cool. I'd rather these kind of add to the hand effects were limited to the archetypal cards. I needn't mention I'm against the copying Trap effect.

17) Father of His Flock - Phew, finally not a copying effect. Again, the addint to hand effect is too stronk, so perhaps making it archetypal, and even with a restriction of Lv "Add 1 Level 4 or lower "Isekai" monster from your Deck to your hand.

18) Cruel Fate - Cool, contact fusion! Not cool, it also has a copying effect lol

19) King - Our King is missing the Attribute. The effect is strong, but ok.

20) Another World? - Omit the search. "When this card is activated: You can Special Summon 1 "Isekai" monster from your Deck. Man, so many protective effects, it'll be hard to fight against these guys. I can relate to the anti-negation of summoning, that gets on my nerves too.

21) Cheat Skill? - Yeah, the effect is a cheat skill

22) - Skill Board - Ok, ok, fun and interesting. Last effect, which lets you add 2 instead of 1 card, is OP. You could add 4 vital cards with this one spell, which is no good. Keep the effect, but change the requirement: If you control 3 or more "Isekai" monsters with different names, add 2 cards from your hand instead. Also, very important: Make it so you can't use both effects in the same turn. "Except during the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then etc...

23) Adventurer's Guild - Ok, but make each effect once per turn clauses. Otherwise, your opponent simply cannot attack your stuff, and you can endlessly increase your ATK. No good, specially considering a lot of stuff have effect protection so the opponent's only alternative is attacks. Come on, man, give the opponent a chance.

24) Powers combined - Kinda ok, but last effect is overkill. At least, make it so you need to banish a monster you control. Banishing from the GY to lol and recover is too mild of a cost.

25) A Failed Summon - No, man, you can even banish stuff from the opponent's GY to do your thing? Also, the double level part is way too convenient. Complete revamp, pls.

I CAN'T FREAKING BELIEVE IT, I made it through them all! It took me more than an hour, lol. Btw, please take everything positively. I might have been critic to a lot of your cards, but it's all NOT with the intention of discouraging you, but to make them better. 

Welp, see ya around. Also, I see you're new to YCM, so welcome n.n

 

P.D. Only thing that worries me is that I also plan to make an Isekai theme archetype (for real for real, but you beat me to it xD) Don't worry though, it's bound to be rather different, and I want to draw myself the art for each card.

Thanks for all the feedback! Don't worry, obviously I can tell your critiques are all completely genuine. I know that the copy effect is overpowered (Tyrant Neptune showed that off with just monsters) but I wanted some type of "unifying effect" for the "Isekaiman" cards. I'll definitely give them a once over to try and limit what can be done, maybe like with what you said of just having it be Archetype Spell/Trap/Monster Effects. 

 

Especially thanks for all of the fixing of card text. It has been way too long since I had sat down and rediscovered the wording for how cards should be phrased, so having just that "proofreading" is a major help.

You're welcome! I'm glad my post was of use to you. I intended to point out some more grammar stuff, but... well, tbh, doing that for 25 cards, with some of them being pendulums with 2 effects, well you get it, haha xD.

Edits have been made to the cards, and you can see both the new version and the old version side by side to compare.

Changes were made to make the grammar more in line with modern Yugioh, and Copy effects were (mostly) gotten rid of. 

Wow, great! I'm seeing the changes right now. The archetype's lookin' handsome. This is just me, but in due time, I think it's ok if you delete the previous versions. Not right now, though. I might have made certain suggestions, but other members might post and give you other interesting solutions or point out alternatives.

Oh, nice!  I am in the process of writing a story that heavily relies on isekai tropes, lol.

In any case, I really like the lore behind these!  I can definitely see some of the inspirations and you can tell how the story plays out.  Do you have a full story behind these?

If I were looking at the cards more objectively, I would have to say they are a little bit too generic.  Copying effects is a pretty dangerous mechanic and it is really difficult to balance.  If not properly balanced or limited in some way, you could end up drawing infinite cards by copying stuff like "Reckless Greed" multiple times, or inflicting infinite burn damage.

Still, I love how much effort went into these, so I can't get too upset about it 😅

Cheers!

The hell, I didn't notice you posted as well until now, Tinkerer xD. Now that I think about it, I did get the "Show reply" notification but closed it as I was posting as well, lol. I'm seeing you're also into Isekai. Man, I don't know if I hate or love the genre, we're so full of it right now. I don't wanna clutter the post with stuff out of place, but I'll venture and make this one question (this goes for @Mr. Hyzy as well: what kind of Isekai are you reading/watching right now?

Mine:

Kugo Desu Ga, Nani Ka?
I've been killing Slimes for 300 years and maxed my level (lol)
Honzuki no Gekokujou
Mushoku Tensei (it's been a while since I read one manga, tho)

I haven't watched Konosuba or Re:Zero, but i'm interested in this:

I think I'm just gonna make a whole topic about it.  Don't want to derail this thread too much :P

i want to review this but i backing-off due to large number of cards which is often my weakness (also i prefer more dense and smaller pool if possible) so shout out to @Rayfield Lumina to done such meticulously wonderful job and for the most part i echo rayfield and melon on the balancing and wording

at least i can give you ways to clean up the post by hiding the previous version of the card in spoiler:

you can make one like below by typing *[*spoiler*]* (remove the *) that way your huge pool will be more neat looking and easier to review

@Mr. Hyzy These are very good see I like people who post threads with images of there rather then not adding an Image like some people on this site and just writing it in hard form but yeah your cards look very very nice l really like some of the old effects but i guess the new effects are still great but at least its more balanced but yeah love your cards.
