This set is now finished. Let me know how you like the idea. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!

[EnkoMaun]

wow, that actually looks pretty good.

[Haou Devil 12]

Let me know what you think of it.

[EnkoMaun]

hmmm... they look like they could fit any deck, that focuses on Synchro summoning and stuff. And I kinda dig Union monsters, I played with a VWXYZ deck for a very long time.

 

I'd really love it if you'd make some synchro monsters that match the strategy of these, or even fusions of these union monsters, with some effects that would give these cards repeatability (like special summoning them back on the field)

 

And I got this idea, use it if you'd wish:

 

Union Gunner (* * * *) EARTH

Machine/Effect --- ATK ? DEF 1500

This card can be equipped with several Union Monsters. Increase the ATK of this card by 500 for each Union Monster equipped. If this card would be destroyed, you may destroy a Union Monster equipped to this card instead.

[Haou Devil 12]

Cool idea, EnkoMaun. But with what you said about making Synchro Monsters that fit the strategy, that I can't. I mean I know Armory Arm is a Union Monster, but I can't think of any Synchro Monsters that might help me in this kind of strategy.

[.Requiem]

Who great union monsters that are tuners >_> really unoriginal name. Concept seems fine I guess.

[danman]

Call it Tunerian or something...lol

[Haou Devil 12]

BUMP.

[Mysty]

Cool idea. There is one important detail you missed: the other abilities associated with union. Those abilities are "(A monster can be equipped with one union monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead.)" Otherwise, these cards are pseudo-Unions, like Armory Arm. Then you could just make the subtype Tuner. Overall, good idea, but the subtypes don't seem to mix well together. Nice try though.

[LostLetter227]

Mixing unions with tuners is a horrible idea. You only need the tuners on the field. That's it. No sense of equipping if you're going to send in a Synchro monster.

[leakybucket]

Neat idea, but i think it may bring up an issue. If a union monster causes its host to be a tuner, is the union considered in the number of levels?
