Aesirson Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 World of Warcraft, anyone? Anyway, it looks nice. 9/10 Link to comment
Hydra of Ages Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Nice set, aside from Spell Counters, there really isn't any other counter-based Archetype. I like how they gain effects depending on the number of counters, making them more useful at some times and less so at others. The only problem I had was with Death Knight Guruhn- • Remove 2 Rune Counters from this card. Until your next Standby Phase, when this card battles, you can return the attacking monster to it's original owner's hand after damage calculation. Does that mean it returns itself to its hand if it declares an attack? Or simply does it mean that if an opponent's monster attacks it, they go back to the hand? Link to comment
Umbra Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 A bit of both, since the effect is optional. It can return itself to the hand when it attacks, and it can return the opponent's monster to the hand when that attacks. Link to comment
Hydra of Ages Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ah, I see. At first I read it wrong, and thought it only worked when it declared an attack (meaning it could only return itself to the hand). Link to comment
玄魔の王 Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 HOLY CRAP!!! Now that's what I call an Archetype. 9.5/10. Link to comment
-Griffin Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 It's what I called overpowered. Death Knight Meguun4 / 1500When this card is Summoned or flipped face-up, place 6 Rune Counters on it. (max. 6) This card gains 100 ATK for each Rune Counter on it. As far as I can read, that starts as a 2100 ATK level 4 monster, the card then goes on to list POSITIVE effects.The Archtype is good, but I'd say take out the ATK boost from the counters to balance it, other than that, the set is 100% awesome as a whole.

-Griffin Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah, I've noticed that the set as a whole seems very OP'd, but still, it seemed fair to comment on it, since he didn't make a note that they should be that way. Link to comment
Umbra Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Edited Meguun so that it only has 1900 ATK. Edited the placement of Counters: Now, it occurs during the Standby Phase instead of during the End Phase. Link to comment
玄魔の王 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 That certainly does make the a bit more balanced. And with that, besides the word "Death" in their names, they look like an actual Archetype that Konami would make. Link to comment
Umbra Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 They'd probably end up as Des Knights or Dark Knights. Link to comment
Aesirson Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Then Blizzard would sue Konami. I really like this Archetype, the whole Rune Counter thing is awesome, and the effects are cool too. Link to comment
玄魔の王 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Then Blizzard would sue Konami. Screw Blizzard. Konami's done stuff like this before. Gradius I rest my case. Link to comment
Umbra Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Except that Gradius belongs to Konami. Link to comment
玄魔の王 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Damnit, that's true. But either way it still proves my point: that Konami isn't afraid of infringing upon other themes. Link to comment
Ugallian Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 10/10I lovw Wowyou should make a "Raise Dead" card. Link to comment
Umbra Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 The Ghouls and Massive Bone Golem pretty much cover Raise Dead, but thanks anyway. Link to comment
