Obsidian Relics [36/??]

If anything, that monster is fairly weak, considering the summoning requirements. A lot of monster removal now is done by other monsters (DAD, JD, Brio) so his negation effect isn't perfectly effective. Armor of the Damned might be usable, with its once/turn effect negation, but the rest seem fairly underpowered. Nice set, nice idea, just a little too weak (making up for your last set? =P)

Apart from being weak, looks like fine OCG, love the idea and I like that you're working on equips, which are generally ignored, 6/10

[Exa Raiun]

For the monster: Originally I planned it to be 2900/3300, but I wasn't sure if it would be a bit too much or not - seems like, I calculated balance wrong again ^^"

For the Equip Spells - I tried to make varied effects. Maybe I'll add some Obsidian Relics and related cards if I get some ideas ^^ And yes, I noticed that outside United We Stand, Mage Power and maybe Axe of Despair, Equip Spell Cards are generally not used. I wanted to change it - unsuccessfully. But oh well, it's not that I can't add some more support for them, right?

[Exa Raiun]

Actually, I planned to make some more Obsidian Relics - one to deal with Spell Cards (and something more), and one to deal with Trap Cards (and something more). Also, possibly some more monsters will come, too. We'll see...

EDIT: 3 Obsidian Relics and 2 supporting monsters added.

[OmegaWave]

Hey! I'm in this set! :)

 

Reminds me of Dark Supports I created. Like a DARK version of "The World Tree" and DARK versions of the E-heroes.....good times.....

 

Nice set BTW.

[Exa Raiun]

Blood Knight and Demon Golem are modified, some new cards (Twilight Crystal Maiden, Twisted Alchemist, Chrono Assassin, Armored Scorpion Lady, Champion Edge, Dungeon Trapper, Tome of Forbidden Restriction, Ring of Forgotten Memories, Black Rose Cross, Fortified Stronghold and the "Obsidian Obstacle" cards) are added.

[Exa Raiun]

For Chrono Assassin - actually, some of the cards (like this one, Dungeon Trapper and Champion Edge) originally was in a scrapped idea of mine, but I didn't want to make them all null. But actually, you are right, I'll change it somehow.

For the first effect of Obsidian Citadel - yes, I meant exactly what you meant, I just couldn't know how the word it properly. But yes, it's definitely needed considering the high amount of Spell and Trap Cards used. And the opposite applies for Tome of Forbidden Restriction.

As for the Obsidian Obstacle, I was like I need some Trap Cards for a full set, and it goes well with the Citdael (and makes sense, actually). And yes, some of them are inspired by various traps in games. ^^'

Actually I somewhat imagined these cards as the antithesis of another Equip Spell/Continuous Trap based concept I had earlier (Soul Runes/Soul Marks/Soul Mages). But yes, I'm glad you like it. And curiously, when I mentioned the concept to a friend of mine, he immediately mentioned Power Tool Dragon (but I feel Dragons a bit overused ^^').

EDIT: I toned down Chrono Assassin.

[Exa Raiun]

Well, Traps are hard to make useful AND creative ... but I believe that the Obsidian Obstacles fit to this concept well.

I really never understood why like 50-75% of made cards are some sort of Dragons (or Fiends). They are cool, but they not supposed to appear in that high amount.

And yes, I'm happy I could correct Chrono. :)

Do you think I should add more cards to the set?

[Exa Raiun]

Bump, 7 card added:

Obsidian Relic - Moon Cloak of Enchantments

Obsidian Obstacle - Reanimated Statues

Obsidian Spy - Nightstalker Thief

Obsidian Necromancer - Grave Raider

Obsidian Lady - Charming Dark Angel

Obsidian Possessed - Claw-Armed Guard

Obsidian Master - Nightkeeper Lord of the Citadel

[Exa Raiun]

The mistake with Obsidian Lady corrected - originally I planned it as "add", and later changed to "Special Summon".

And for the other part - sorry, but when I have ideas, I can't do anything but to write them down. And as I don't have fitting pictures for the set, I can't help on the walls of written cards part. If I would have an amount of pictures, I'd likely to make them, but I don't. ^^' And I believe that an Archetype should be big enough and work together well to be a proper Archetype.

[-Griffin]

I agree that an Archtype should be big, it just doesn't get many comments when it is ^^;;;

So yeah, don't stop, just don't expect many people other than me to be looking at it =P We really need to get this section moving more!

[Exa Raiun]

Thanks for the support! I start to really enjoy making this set!

 

Two cards are added:

Obsidian Relic - Twisted Pocketwatch

Obsidian Twins - Mirror Maidens
