DRAGON QUEST

"Dragon Quest, also known as Dragon Warrior prior to 2003, is a series of Japanese fantasy role-playing video games made by Square Enix, with character designs by Dragon Ball manga artist Akira Toriyama. The games typically follow a prophesied Hero on a quest to save the world from a powerful demon or Dragonlord; this is balanced with humour and comical-looking monsters for an overall lighthearted tone. There are recurring elements and monsters such as the Slime, Rockbomb, and Chimaera, but no direct continuity between games." (Dragon Quest Wiki)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all, I just finished a very demanding and tiring work, so I decided to reward myself by playing Dragon Quest games, starting with the first one of the series. The game was made in 1986 I believe, it was simple and short but was fun as heck because I could complete it in one sitting. The whole story was so straightforward and it inspired me to create Yugioh cards based of it. The Hero must defeat Dragonlord to bring peace to Alefgard, so he started going on his journey, defeating monsters, discovering new weapons and item, and becoming strong enough to defeat the Dragonlord. And for the cards, I tried implementing the JRPG concept by having the "Hero" (Monster Card) that keeps "leveling up" (Monster Cards) by defeating "Monsters of Alefgard" (Monster Cards) with the help of his "Items, Weapons, and support of the people of Alefgard" (Monsters, Spells, and Traps) to finally be able to defeat "Dragonlord" (Monster Cards) and "bring peace to the world" (Win the duel). I tried my best to make it as JRPG and Dragon Quest 1 as possible, but I had to compromise a bit here and there to made it more sense and hopefully competitive.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PART 1 : HUMBLE BEGINNING

After Dragonlord took over Alefgard and placed the world under his command by instilling fear to the people of Alefgard with monster he summoned to this world, Hero, Descendant of the Legendary Savior Erdrick, decided to stop Dragonlord and his wrongdoings to finally be able to regain back the peace Alefgard once had. He also made a vow to King Lorik of Alefgard to save Princess Gwaelin that was captured by Dragonlord. And so, he finally took his first step to his grandiose adventure without knowing what lies ahead...

Going here just because you put a lot of efforts on making such a huge pool of cards, even goes as far as foretell the stories + art edit by yourself.

Reminder, i don't know D-Quest, like at all.

As usual, Realistic sections, means you really need to look up into the general YGO card pool + their powerlevel. What i do mostly here probably just balancing issue, and how your cards (maybe?) potentially break the said pool.

Hero of Alefgard

Upon seeing the first card, already saw an issue. The Agent of Creation - Venus MK-II. This card is a Link-1, that search a Field Spell, AND SS a monster, without a cost, condition, or drawbacks. This card is straight 3 to go on any Link Laddering Deck, for a 1) free discard fodder (Field Spell) 2) Free mat into Link-2.

Take an example of Salamngreat Balelynx as your comparison, albeit i am no fan of Link-1 searcher, at least its done good on how Link-1 should be as their effects. (Link-1 searcher makes an archetype too consistent on searching key cards without even trying, kinda lazy strategy)

You either make it do 1 effect only instead of each effect as OPT, or if you still want the each effect, should limit your Extra Deck SS into Hero of Alefgard monster only.

 

World of Alefgard

Im not sure the reason of 100 ATK buff, idk lorewise but, its just not enough to be of use as if it were like, nothing at all. Self spin is okay i guess? The search effect . . . not a fan of free search each turn without even cost/condition or something. But at least okay right now? Let's see the other cards.

 

Blue Slime of Alefgard

Blue Slime of Honest, put a counter for Hero to rise up into stronger version of Hero, yeah nothing much to say here.

 

Armored Hero of Alefgard

"You can send this card with 1 Golem Counter (Quick Effect): Special Summon 1 "Magical Hero of Alefgard" from your Extra Deck or GY."

Better worded as:

"(Quick Effect): You can send this card you control with 1 Golem Counter to the GY; Special Summon 1 "Magical Hero of Alefgard" from your Extra Deck or GY."

Rest of the effects were fine.

 

Stone Golem of Alefgard

You know that when Kaiju were introduced, it creates an issue where boss monster no longer a force to be reckoned with, just Tribute it and poof, no matter how unaffected or how high the stat, it dies, somehow you made something, with Quick Effect, well done there. Nibiru MK-II.

Just like slime, put a counter to buff our beloved heroes upon defeat.

Remove the Quick Effect, its basically strong handtrap that can take out anything, even unaffected/hexproof/destroy proof whatever it is.

 

Hero's Item - Fire Blade

You don't use "increase" but "gains" when we talk about buff stat modifier. e.g "Monster equipped with this card gains 1000 ATK."

Burn and destroy protection, okay.

 

Hero's Item - Faerie Flute

Strong card. Yeah not that broken strong, but adding cannot attack adds more value than the other Trap that does similar things (Imperma and Breakthrough). Able to activate from hand also nice.

 

Hero's item - Rainbow Drop

"You can only activate this card if you control a "Hero of Alefgard" monster:"

Better worded as:

"If you control a "Hero of Alefgard" monster:"

Able to SS your enemy and aid yourself in battle, yeah sounds good.

 

Magical Hero of Alefgard

Nothing much to say. Upgraded version of our beloved hero.

 

Green Dragon of Alefgard

Yeah Kaiju doubled, Nibiru MK-III. Take out the Quick Effect. Same effect as Golem. I am wondering if Golem has protection effect to mitigate the nasty Tribute removal effect. Then Dragon has removal effect as additional effect too. Then Rainbow Drop will be much more useful too (Summon Dragon to oppress the opponent, or summon the Golem to protect the Hero), because atm, Dragon And Golem is just basically "Eyo wazzup, imma green lizard, i am you rocky head but stronga yo". Bit of boring imo, but anyway.

 

Hero's Spell - Sizzle

This is just nasty. Albeit Trap. You dont nuke Raigeki during opponent's turn, especially as cheap as Trap, its unfair. "But but, Evenly Match exist" it exist because how the current speed and powerlevel, turn 1 can basically combo infinitely reaching into solid board that is hard to answer, so going first always has a higher chance to win games, as such Evenly Match released, makes everyone "You spam first turn you die, bye bye solid board" kind of stuff to balance. "But but Torrential Tribute exist" it hits both player + condition when a monster is Summoned, so the timing window to activate Torrential Tribute is heavy and makes the user think twice before activating, making it a huge mindgames "Did he/she just ended the combo with this monster? Or are they going to summon again? Should i activate now? Or never?"

My suggestion is making it Normal Spell.

 

Hero's Spell - Snooze

What is happening here, both Sizzle and Snooze are busted. Making everything face-down, means locking them from ED summon, except Fusion, and also a chance to stop their combo (face-down = card with no names by mechanics). This is hard as making it only change 1 it basically Book of Moon, snooze also fitting of bounce effect imo, so probably make it bounce to hand effect, bounce only 1.

 

Hero's Spell - Glow

Again, gaining a knowledge over opponent's hand is a huge advantage. There is a reason The Forceful Sentry is banned for like, eternity. Make it reveal 1 random card from your opponent's hand, and good.

 

Hero's Spell - Evac

"During either player's turn, you can banish this card form your GY;"

You dont specify quick activation on a Trap that has GY effect, they are automatically SS2 even in the GY.

Overall this card is okay, basically evade the Hero from the opponent effects or opponent's stronger boss, much better if it has additional effects after banishing the Hero as: "For the rest of this turn, any battle or effect damage you take is halved" that way, you are not completely defenseless by opening yourself to OTK strategy.

 

Hero's Spell - Zoom

Magical Mallet met Pot of Greed, they married. At first its okay as a Trap, but hand activation kills it, makes it broken. Hand refresh and +1 advantage is just strong effects altogether, either remove the hand activation, or make it the way it is, but draw 1 instead of 2.

Worst part i didnt notice, all o the Hero's Spell doesn't have OPT, if you stack Zoom into another Zoom, thats $$$ without even trying.

 

Legendary Hero of Alefgard

Strong boss. What to expect? It's our beloved hero in his final form. i have no issues atm, but given the current Hero's Spell being quick Raigeki, quick Book of Eclipse, and etc, this makes this card a victim of broken effects.

 

Sword of Erdrick

Cheap omni-negation, yeah i dont have issue with this card atm. It has protection, and ATK gains, fine i guess.

 

Princess Gwaelin of Tantegel

Is there any reason why the recover effects is a Quick Effect? Other than "haha quick effects everywhere because i can, and because its better that way!" Mostly quick effects are put into effect that immediately can alter the gamestate (e.g negation, removal, stat change, etc), but why this?

 

The Princess' Capture

Nothing much to say. You go -1 and give opponent a free godlike body. probably better if the user draw 1 card to mitigate the -1/

 

Dragonlord of Alefgard

Funny thing is that, opponent can just use this as a material for Link/Xyz/Synchro/Fusion, if you did not defeat it on your turn.

"When this card is destroyed by "Legendary Hero of Alefgard" as a result of battle, reveal 1 "True Dragonlord of Alefgard" from your opponent's Extra Deck; Special Summon it to your field. There can only be 1 face-up "Dragonlord of Alefgard" on the field."

From my understanding, if Dragonlord summoned from your ED to the enemy field got destroyed, it is sent to your GY, as such, "from your opponent's Deck" is literal opponent (enemy you are dueling with.) And so, there is no way it will become Dragon form, unless opponent also uses the same Deck.

So yeah, add an additional effect of "Cannot be Tributed or used as a material to Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck", and change the SS to "When this card owned by your opponent is destroyed by "Legendary Hero of Alefgard" as a result of battle: Reveal 1 "True Dragonlord of Alefgard" from your Extra Deck; Special Summon it to your opponent's field. There can only be 1 face-up "Dragonlord of Alefgard" on the field."

 

True Dragonlord of Alefgard

Yeah same issue above, and now you just trolled yourself and give the opponent a free win.

I wish Dragonlord and their true form has unique effects aside of unaffected, because it does feels lazy as a design.

 

King Lorik of Tantegel

Can bring back the Hero and can bring the Princess, okay.

 

Guards of Tantegel

You need to specify where this card is sent to the GY from, is it field? hand? banished? Deck?

Protection that keeps adding their twins, mhm okay.

 

Villagers of Alefgard

Either help the Hero and become stronger, or search for key cards. Yeah basic good stuff.

 

Venture Forth

Basically your continue button upon game over, sadly does nothing, hindered by the card type being a Normal Spell.

By normal means, if your LP becomes 1000, it happens during the opponent's turn, and such, mostly, they already have a way to defeat you right away. The only suggestion maybe make it as Quick-Play Spell, then also add "Then, your LP becomes 4000", because resetting everything and leaving the board empty + low LP doesnt do anything. If you do this suggestion, add this "After this card is activated, banish it face-down", so that you cant recycle this card, and you only have 3 chances of Venture Forth during a single duel, and if those 3 were used, no more continue button, thats it.

 

Journey of The Hero

Just awkward wording.

"Discard 1 card, then destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, you can target 1 monster you control, then activate 1 of the following effects;"

Discard and destroy part of effect? Sure. And if you do, you can target? No, target doesn't happen upon resolution, it happens after conditions: Same time as cost; before effects.

Probably better worded as:

"Discard 1 card, then destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, activate 1 of the following effects;
● Place 1 Slime Counter on a monster you control

● Same as above wording, copy and paste here."

 

Overall, is such nice archetype for a casual play, looks good on paper, until you realize its hard to play the strategy. Zoom plays a bigger role here to make sure you didn't brick. What if you open Golem and Dragon at the same time at the start of the duel and you go first? Good luck with only 3 cards playable.

Maybe you can add Golem and Dragon additional effect as "You can reveal this card and "X" card from your hand; place this card to the bottom of the Deck, and if you do, draw 1 card" that way, you sure no longer scared of dead cards + less reliant to Zoom.

Competitively speaking, is nowhere close imo. The powerlevel of each cards were, some beyond the idea of balance, some underwhelming and simply hard to come by. This probably has something to do because you put the game lore literally into effects, some ended up on a weird spot, and some just too strong.
