Tesability Black Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Welp, first time I posted these up, I had one too many glasses of cinnamon tea during their scheming process. I once had the goofy idea to combine the summoning of Rituals with the Spirit subtype to create a weird little Archetype. The unique thing about the Ritual Spirits in this group is they do NOT bounce back to the hand if Ritual Summoned, despite being Spirits themselves. A warning, while the é has no issues in the names of these cards, that gets transformed into something else in the card effects and I don't know how to fix that. I wouldn't be remaking this thread if I hadn't added new things to this or made some tweaks... I'm gonna have to remake the cards anyway to fix the Set Numberings, anyway...~Ritual Monsters~ Name: Séance Beckoned - Headless Horseman Attribute: FIRE Level: 6 Type: Zombie/Ritual/Spirit Effect: Must first be Ritual Summoned.

The Cowardly Dog Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hmm... This is a good set that coordinates well, and reminds me of the Gishki archetype. A lot of deck searchers so the chance to have all of the necessary cards in your hand for a Ritual summon are great. Seems like you focus on field and hand control, that should be enough to compensate the lack of field present that Spirit decks can easily run into. The idea is quite original, and many of this set Monster can be summoned with ease. The artworks are amazing, though some of them look a bit unproportional (Guardian looks like the artwork was stretched to fit the frame) However, I wish to share some thoughts on the card. - SInce Ritual mosters cannot be Normal summoned or Set anyway, why add the clause: " Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Ritual Summoned. You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Séance" Ritual Spell Card. "? Being Ritual Monsters, it's not like they can be anyway, right? My suggestion for the errata: Must first be Ritual Summoned with a "Séance" Ritual Spell Card." Much more concise, and it would give you more room to display the effect of the card. - The price to activate a stalling effect, especially one that has a great benefit the Spirit player like "Bloody Mary" usually requires the user to pay, rather than the opponent. Banishing up to 15 cards of your opponent is a difficult task, so I guess that it's now at the point of overpower yet, but there is instablility that could present itself: there are that many cards that allow players to return banished cards to their Deck, and many more that utilise banishment as an advantage. For example: you run into an opponent could play, idk, Necroface for example, and that'd undermine all your hard work of banishing card. That could hinder you, rather than your opponent. I suggest 10 cards (or 15, if you prefer) in your banished zone instead. You have more control of the situation that way. And just in case you feel like that's a bit too much, how about shuffle back one card per turn to your Deck/retuning one card per turn to the graveyard. - Err, "Vantoase" may be a bit much. Returning all cards, except for Spirits could result in an OTK, especially with your set that could fill the field with powerful Rituals. I suggest either limit down the Special summon during that turn, or no attack during that turn, or something like that. (Although limit down the SPecial summon would give you the possibility to Normal Summon another Spirit, way more beneficial the the later) - Usually, an balanced stalling effect like that of "Headless" would requires you either to pay the price for security or it would affect both players. Think Gravity Bind, for example, it affects the whole field, not just your opponent. My suggestion: Either banish cards from your Deck, or maybe both players' deck. (The former is more balancing, however) 'K, that's all that I can think of. Anyway, I wanna ask you whether I can feature the link to this thread in my thread about Spirit monsters? I really do like your cards, both the idea and the playing style. P.s: I'm sorry if I'm being nit-picking (I'm a bit of a perfectionist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I should probably give my reasoning as to why I had the Bloody Mary the way she is. She is actually inspired by a real person in history, a queen that often had various victims beheaded. I admittedly could probably actually have it so that the cards she sends are to the Graveyard to simulate the beheaddings, instead and alter the 'banish-prevention' effect she has to something else to reflect the feeling of fear others may have of her and its various effects. Such beheaddings in the past is why only your opponent is affected, not both halves. It's pretty much her saying "Off with his head!" at the foe. And as for Vântoase, she's based of a mythical wind spirit. Her original effect would have had her trigger her 'blowaway' effect when she was summoned, period, but had been changed to only when she's Ritual Summoned. While there may be a fair number of ways to Ritual Summon her, you'd have to tribute 8 stars worth to bring her out if using a Ritual Spell. She also blows back your own Spells and Traps as well. EDIT: ...and I hugely misunderstood the origin of the legend behind the Bloody Mary, even if it does often feature a Queen Mary...I guess that card's getting redone as a whole, anyway...

EDIT: ...and I hugely misunderstood the origin of the legend behind the Bloody Mary, even if it does often feature a Queen Mary...I guess that card's getting redone as a whole, anyway... Ah, the famous headless Queen Mary ghost, right? If that's the legend you are refering to, then I would love to see the remake. (Although she's still a ghost that has incited fear in many people due to her gruesome appearance) Hmm, well I guess that is a good restriction. It seems like I missed the part about the tributes having to be 8 stars. I mistook it for normal Ritual spell, which is usually phrased "8 stars and above". That's cool then, I think. Although I still think the "Cannot be Normal summoned or Set" on the Ritual monsters (and only on the Ritual Spirit monsters) is redundant. :) Sure they are Spirit Monsters, and Spirit monsters have that specific clause. But it is the game mechanic on Ritual monsters that's already renders them unable to be Normal summoned or Set, so why putting it there? (I also have no idea why Konami decided to put something so obvious in the game on the Evilghishki, but hey, it's their rules? Further looking into Ritual mosters shows me that the "Must first be Ritual Summoned" isn't necessary as well, as Ritual monsters can't be Special summon without being properly Ritual summon first. One exception to this is "Ritual foregone", which allows you to bypass this rule, (Although you probably left it like this to prevent "Ritual Foregone"?) It seems like you are basing Ritual Spirits on the Evilghiski, am I right? Anyhow, they are just my two cents on the subject. Hope to see more new Spirit monsters soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 No new cards yet, but altered a few images, swapped out a few images, renumbered the set, and tried to clean up the text effects while tweaking them. I am no Queen at the newer ways to write out Yugioh effects, so OCG corrections would be greatly appreciated on any and all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
