JairoLeyn100 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hey guys, it's me again with a new Archetype. I always wanted to do one that included pendulum cards, but I couldn't think of a proper theme for it. That is until a came across the Zodiac Dragon images. I find these pictures very well drawn and fantastic, I couldn't think of a better theme for a Pendulum Archetype other than this. But of course, if I wanted this Archetype to be versatile, I had to include a sub-Archetype that would work along with this one, hence the Mythological Archetype in the title. Each Zodiac Dragons represent each Zodiac Sign, while the Mythological monster are actual constellations. I hope you guys like these cards and feel free to leave your opinion about any of these cards or the Archetype itself. P.S: I would like to know what each of you think of the Zodiac Dragon from your corresponding Zodiac Sign. Just so you know, I made each of these cards leaving aside my own personal opinion (I still think that each Zodiac Sign are both cool and amazing in their own way) and forgeting about my Zodiac Sign, which is Leo.

I know this Archetype doesn't have that many Spells and Traps, but it's still a work in progress. So far these are all I have done until now. I am planing to do more in the future (preferable more Spells and Traps, rather than monsters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticdestruction AJ Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 These are really, really cool. Unfortunately, the lack of HOPT on the cards scares me; it's not that difficult to imagine searching an unbelievable number of cards due to the monster's floating effects (which, coincidentally, don't exclude themselves as search targets so deck thinning is a thing).
