Decking Out at Its Finest - Sea Serpents Gain a Theme!

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Based on the concept of Deckout versus inflicting damage, since I love Deckout decks oh so much, yet they see such crappy support. And for those who don't know, 1150 damage is roughly the same as sending the top 5 cards of your opponent's deck to the Graveyard (or roughly 230 damage per card), though slightly different because they draw each turn, and each player might have a different amount of cards in their Deck.

 

Anywho, expanding upon an already created Deckout theme:

[spoiler=Worms]

Starting with the cards they already had, but revised to my specifications...

 

Shield Worm

Earth/Insect/4/200/2000

When this card is flipped face-up or Summoned, send the top 2 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard. Any Battle Damage the controller of this card takes during a battle involving this card becomes 0.

 

Flame Worm

Fire/Insect/3/800/1400

When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, send the top 4 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.

 

Worm Bait

Normal Spell Card

Select and activate 1 of the following effects:

● Activate only while you control 1 or more "Worm" monsters. Special Summon 2 "Worm Token"s (Earth/Insect/1/0/0) in Defense Position. You cannot Normal Summon or Set a Level 4 or lower monster this turn.

● Destroy 1 Insect-Type monster on your side of the field. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Worm" monster from your Deck.

 

And now for my own original cards.

 

Ice Worm

Water/Insect/4/1400/800

When this card is Summoned, send the top 4 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard.

 

Ground Worm

Earth/Insect/3/1800/400

Once per turn, you may send the top 3 cards of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard. During this turn, this monster may not declare an attack.

 

Ragnaworm

Fire/Insect/7/2600/2600

You can Normal Summon this card without Tribute. If you do. destroy 2 other "Worm" monsters on your side of the field. When your opponent would take Battle Damage or pay Life Points, instead send a number of cards from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard equal to the amount of 200 Life Points increments. If this card declares an attack, your opponent cannot activate any Trap Cards until after Battle Damage.

 

Worm's Burrow

Quick-Play Spell

Activate only while there are 10 or more cards in either player's Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Insect-Type monster in your Graveyard.

 

Insectoid Recycle

Continuous Spell Card

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you may select 1 card in either player's Graveyard and place it on the bottom of the owner's Deck. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you may remove from play 2 Insect-Type monsters from your Graveyard to add this card to your hand.

 

 

[spoiler=”Iron Chain”]

Iron Chain Converter

Earth/Machine/4/1500/1600

When an “Iron Chain” monster destroy’s an opponent’s monster as a result of battle, send the top card of your opponent’s Deck to the Graveyard. When this card attacks your opponent’s Life Points directly, you may look at the top card of your opponent’s Deck and place that card on the top or bottom of your opponent’s Deck.

 

Iron Chain Collector

Earth/Warrior/4/1700/1300

Once per turn, you may add 1 Level 3 or lower “Iron Chain” monster from your Deck to your hand. When damage is inflicted to your opponent’s Life Points by a card effect, send the top card of their Deck to the Graveyard..

 

Iron Chain Bomb

Earth/Machine/3/900/2000

Each time a card(s) is sent from the top of a player’s Deck to the Graveyard, place 1 Counter on this card. When this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, send a number of cards randomly from your opponent’s Deck to the Graveyard equal to the number of Counters on this card. When this card is destroyed as a result of battle, inflict damage to your opponent’s Life Points equal to the number of Counters on this card x200.

 

Iron Chain Enforcer

Earth/Warrior/2/Tuner/800/500

When you take Battle Damage to your Life Points, you may Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While this card is face-up on the field, other “Iron Chain” monsters are not destroyed as a result of battle.

1 “Iron Chain” Tuner monster + 1 or more Non-Tuner monsters

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent’s Life Points, remove from play the bottom 2 cards of your opponent’s Deck face-down.

 

Iron Chain Wolf

Earth/Machine/Synchro/7/2800/1900

1 Machine-Type Tuner monster + 1 or more Non-Tuner monsters

When this card is Synchro Summoned, send the top 4 cards of both player’s Decks to the Graveyard. Once per turn, you may send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard. If that card was a Monster Card, inflict damage to your opponent’s Life Points equal to the Level of that monster x100. If not, send the top card of your opponent’s Deck to the Graveyard.

 

Chain Bonding

Continuous Spell Card

When an Effect Monster effect inflicts damage to a player’s Life Points, you may increase the ATK of that monster by 300. In addition, once per turn when a card on your side of the field would be destroyed by a card effect you may destroy 1 Level 4 or lower Iron Chain monster on your side of the field instead.

 

 

Now, finally for my own idea! Sea Serpents get new monsters and new support as I finally give them a real theme! Its basis is that sea serpents are supposed to me massive creatures that terrorize and destroy villages. To quell the angers of these destroyers, they give sacrifice and offerings. Also, they're capable of pretty much swallowing anything whole.

 

Kairyu-Shinji

Water/Sea Serpent/4/1900/1100

This card cannot declare an attack while your opponent controls 1 or less monsters. During the End Phase of a turn this card does not declare an attack, your opponent must send the top 4 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard.

 

Kaiser Lochen

World Serpent - Jormungandr

Water/Sea Serpent/8/2900/2600

Once, during either player’s turn while this card is face-up on the field, you may send the top 5 cards of your opponent’s Deck to the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on your side of the field, monsters in your opponent’s Graveyard cannot be removed from play by the effect of a card your opponent controls.

[Tabris]

Deckout again?

 

+ facepalms +

 

We've too many archetypes tacklin' this mechanic already, but I'll review just the same:

 

Kairyu-Shinji: A decent card as is.

 

Lochen: Same as above.

 

Champlain: Oh, that - the last time I encountered such an effect on a real card... Different Dimension Capsule, without the shaky assurance of its return.

 

Abomination: The most powerful 2000 ATK beatstick I've seen thus far.

 

Starving: Weird name, but fine effect, on the long run.

 

Tidal: Owww... very GREAT card, this is.

 

Spawn: Hero Kid's more preferable.

 

Child: Too feeble an effect, too late a snowball into Rampaging Tidal.

 

Owata: Remove the first sentence, decrease the number of Sea Serpents returned to the Deck to Special Summon Owata from the hand, and you're through.

 

Jormugandr: Fine card. Now, how do you summon it easily?

 

Sea Raid: Powerful, very powerful, this one.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Altered Abomination, Spawn, and Child.

[Umbra]

Shinji: I have a feeling this card won't be attacking that much. Milling 10% of a standard deck per turn could be overpowered.

 

Lochen: Selecting three random cards from your Deck? Isn't that just unnecessarily complicated?

 

Champlain: Mills 5% each turn. Not as potentially overpowered as Shinji. (Although, 3x Shinji + 2x Champlain: Mills 40% each turn. Evil.)

 

Abomination: Sorta like a Panther Warrior that's bound to tribute a bit more often. It's also bound to Tribute itself sooner or later.

 

Starving: A -1 or 7,5% mill? I'll take the latter any day.

 

Rampaging: Same as Lochen. Also, 3x Rampaging, 2x Shinji: 57,5% mill per turn. Even eviler.

 

Spawn: One of the better field-fillers. (i.e. Momonga, Germ).

 

Child: Searches out most of the better cards in this set. I'd use this with Shinji or Rampaging. Also, since it's ATK is 1400, it's usable with IRS.

 

Owata: Explain the first sentence. I like the double Special Summoning conditions, and I think the last sentence could be worded differently.

 

Jormungandr: I had a feeling this card would come up. It can mill 12,5% with no restrictions, and the last sentence looks strange. Change the last words to "your opponent controls". Otherwise, the wording targets the cards that the monsters control. :D

 

Sea Raid: Can mill up to 25% on itself, although it would require quite a large field. Rather balanced.

 

Sacrifice: Good.

 

Whirlpool: Balanced.

 

Serpent's Return: Essentially a Quick-Play Monster Reborn for Sea Serpents, or a quick way to bring out Owata if it's in your Graveyard and you have a Rampaging in the Grave.

 

Terror from the Depths: I like it.

[Toffee.]

<3 Kairyu-Shinji - Its so cheap

 

Now if Konami only did cards like this, And Sea Serpents actually had a chance.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Shinji: I have a feeling this card won't be attacking that much. Milling 10% of a standard deck per turn could be overpowered.

Thinking about making it 3.

 

Lochen: Selecting three random cards from your Deck? Isn't that just unnecessarily complicated?

Just sort of wanted it to be a mysterious card, and work a bit differently than we're used to. It's modeled after the Loch Ness Monster.

 

Champlain: Mills 5% each turn. Not as potentially overpowered as Shinji. (Although, 3x Shinji + 2x Champlain: Mills 40% each turn. Evil.)

It'll also have to be on the field for a turn beforehand so it can somehow get into Defense, or be supported by a second card. Its effect technically is like inflicting 500 damage to your opponent.

 

Abomination: Sorta like a Panther Warrior that's bound to tribute a bit more often. It's also bound to Tribute itself sooner or later.

Basically its only use. Just to be a quick beatstick, die and provide mill.

 

Starving: A -1 or 7,5% mill? I'll take the latter any day.

Yes, you would unless you are extremely low on cards. Basically it just gives a counter, and helps to assist the theme. Kinda like a giant monster saying "give me your goods or your villagers will die!"

 

Rampaging: Same as Lochen. Also, 3x Rampaging, 2x Shinji: 57,5% mill per turn. Even eviler.

I was actually considering making its effect do the same for Monster Card Effects, or Spells instead.

 

Spawn: One of the better field-fillers. (i.e. Momonga, Germ).

Its effect is technically weaker, because it has low support, makes them face-up, and will technically be doing only like 460 damage.

 

Owata: Explain the first sentence. I like the double Special Summoning conditions, and I think the last sentence could be worded differently.

Changed it a little bit, but not sure how to make it any better. And the first sentence is just saying you can't Summon it without tributes, like some cards might allow. Though maybe I should change it somewhat.

 

Jormungandr: I had a feeling this card would come up. It can mill 12,5% with no restrictions, and the last sentence looks strange. Change the last words to "your opponent controls". Otherwise, the wording targets the cards that the monsters control. :D

Edited it slightly. And I had made it so you can only use its effect once while on the field, because otherwise it would be extremely overpowered. Basically does 1150 damage to your opponent with its effect. Perhaps tone it down just a bit, or make it so it must be on your turn, or with some special condition?

 

Serpent's Return: Essentially a Quick-Play Monster Reborn for Sea Serpents, or a quick way to bring out Owata if it's in your Graveyard and you have a Rampaging in the Grave.

Not many Sea Serpents, and many of them would require you to discard/Tribute for this card's effect, so I would say it's pretty okay.

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

Any comments on my other cards?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Nobody cares about my Chain and Worm monsters? =[

[Megaworm]

i'd buy this deck. What about a Sea-Serpent that negates Synchro Summons AND eats the deck? Goyo Guardian will ruin the game for you with many of your own cards if you don't defend yourself against synchros.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll add an extension to this set later.
