Afterworld - The Psychic Archetype

[Hydra of Ages]

Yes, I actually made Psychic sub-archetype. These cards are... odd, to say the least. I intended for them to be an ultimate Meta-Counter... but check and see.

Afterworld

When this card is activated, search your Deck for 3 Spell Cards with different names with "Afterworld Frequency"

Deck. All Cards on the field that would be sent to the Graveyard are instead removed from play. Whenever a card

is removed from play, place one "Frequency Counter" on this Card (Max.20). Whenever this card would be removed

from the field, you may remove 1 "Frequency Counter" from this Card to negate the Card that would remove this Card from the field and remove it from play.

Your OCG is very outdated, and I'm not even going to try and figure out what "Psycheir" means.

 

The Dash spells better have a good reason for their name, because it honestly sucks right now.

[Hydra of Ages]

Eugh, just realized I forgot to put in the Afterworld Field.(and thus, the entire point of the Dash-spells) Bah, that's fixed now.

 

Psycheir basically means anything to do with the Psyche.

[Umbra]

Those people are just known as Psychics, for further reference.

[Hydra of Ages]

Duh. But I needed some way to differentiate them from normal Psychics. "Afterworld Psychic" is about the most redundant thing I've ever heard, as almost all Afterworld monsters are Psychics.

[Umbra]

Making up a word, which then cannot be pronounced without consulting the creator, is almost as bad.

 

If you were going for Psychier, which doesn't exist either but looks like it could exist, much like "mensiversary", use it.

[Hydra of Ages]

If you can explain to me what a "Jeroid", "Newdoria", or half the names of any given card is, you might have a point.

 

It's fairly obvious to anyone who can pronounce english words. Ier= E-Air. Eir = E-Eer. If it's annoying you that much it overrides all other comments I'll change it, but I really don't care that much.

[To-Chi]

Daaaaamn son! Those Afterworld Frequency spells could f*ck someone up, seriously!! A few of them are rather overpowered is what I'm getting at... But, yeah, rather powerful set. And those monsters have some complex effects, but overall a bit TOO useful... But at least not bad.

[Hydra of Ages]

The trick of the dash Spells is each to counter a specific type of Meta Deck. In fact, it's even hinted by their names. Take "Afterworld Frequency - L Dash S", for example.

 

L dash S.

L - S.

L. S.

Light - Sworn

Lightsworn

 

And the effect?

"-Your opponent cannot discard Cards from their own Deck."

 

...Completely screws up Lightsworns.

 

The idea is that any given player will pack 1 copy of three different Dash-spells, and keep 1 copy of the rest in their side decks.

 

The point of the entire set is to shift up the meta from it's current state, and get different types of decks played.

...Like G.B. Hunter. Fine, but kinda dumb.

 

The issue I see is that Psychics don't really care about these cards; they'd rather Synchro and control than go to all the trouble here.

 

And the other thing; text is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long! Shorten these effects so the text could fit actual cards.

Yeah, like G.B. Hunter, but without having it in inconvenient Monster form. In fact, since it activates while removed from play, it's almost impossible to negate. Why dumb?

 

Psychics are a type, not an Archetype. I'd like to see them become more of an actual full-fledged type than just a glorified exclusive Archetype; Therefor, having specific cards that don't really work with the rest of the types. Do Gravekeepers work with Spell Counter Magicians? Not really.

[duel tester]

they do seem a bit overpowerd

but i see what you going for

 

make cards with names that stops arch-types

like

Afterworld Frequency -D dash W

effect neither your or your opponent can discard cards duing your turn unlees it is the end phase

 

or

 

Afterworld Frequency -ANTI dash D

 

Dark monsters must be sent to the bottom of deck when distroyed or discarded

 

you have quite the idea for a arch-type

i support your idea

[Hydra of Ages]

More or less, yeah. I generally don't think they're overpowered, as you need Afterworld to be up for them to work, and you can only use three specific ones per duel. They're also dead draws if you get them before you draw Afterworld.

[Umbra]

If you can explain to me what a "Jeroid"' date=' "Newdoria", or half the names of any given card is, you might have a point.

[/quote']

 

1) It's not as much the name itself as the fact that is is unpronounceable that bothers me.

 

2) I can only think of one English word that use the -eir combination right now, being "heir", in which it is pronounced "air".

 

3) Replying to a later post: Discarding is always, and I repeat always, done from the hand. There's no such thing as discarding from the deck, or from the field.

[Hydra of Ages]

1-2) I really don't see what's so unpronounceable about "Psycheir'. Technically, if you divide up the words, it should be "Psyche", as in Scy-Ki, and the "Ir" as 'ear' or similar sound. Once again, I'll change it if it's that big a deal. I just need some sort of word to replace it with that isn't redundant as all hell. Hm... if I'm going with the ? - Avatar - God scheme, maybe it should be 'Spirit' or 'Angel' or something...

 

3) Very well, simple OCG error.

[evilfusion]

Oh wow. That's a really interesting idea, but unless I'm missing something, there's a simple combo to screw with the so-called weakness of this archetype: Field Barrier. Field spells can't be destroyed and a new one can't be played. So long as S-D isn't used, it can neutralize most other strategies.

 

As far as unpronounceable, someone explain how "Psycheir" is harder than "Maharaghi" (the spirit monster)

[Umbra]

Maharaghi is as simple as words go - every other letter is a vowel. I was just confused by the whole -eir business, reading it as Scy-Ke-Eer at first.

[Hydra of Ages]

Field barrier could be useful, but keep in mind it's still just a normal Continuous Spell. There's nothing stopping people from using Heavy Storm, Trunade, Etc. Etc., except of course for Afterworld's build-in defenses, of course.

 

Meh,

[evilfusion]

Turns out I missed that Afterworld had a built in defense. Field Barrier is superfluous.

[-Griffin]

Huh, I was going to say that the counter creation was too slow, until I re-read Afterworld. What archtype are the last three, s-d, s-t, and z-w supposed to stop? I don't quite get those three.

[evilfusion]

I tried to figure that out too.

 

S-D I have no clue on.

S-T seems like Stall, but it could also have something to do with Synchros. Both strategies get screwed by increasing opposing levels by such a vast amount.

Z-W was actually pretty simple to me. Zombie World. A lot of the effects involve controlling opponent's monsters after Zombifying them (Red Eyes Zombie Dragon, Marionette Mite, and Paladin of Cursed Dragon). Sort of pointless if I'm right, since Zombie World decks revolve around the field spell and Afterworld...yeah, is a field spell.

Not the effect, the name.

 

Psychics are a type AND an Archetype. They invented the type to make it easier than just putting "Psychic" monsters, since there are others of those, but also for diversity. And with a type OR an Archetype, cards that defy each other don't work. Just sayin'.

[Hydra of Ages]

The name? Yeah, that's pretty much where I got the name from.

 

These psychics don't particularly support eachother, but I don't think they defy eachother either. Couldn't say for sure though, I've only run a Psychic deck once or twice. In any case, the main reason I chose Psychic was mainly because these guys didn't feel much like any other Type while I was writing them up.

 

S-D is Skill. Drain. The effect is mainly there to take out, well, Skill Drain; it was the easiest thing I could think of. But effectively, it can take out all Continuous Spells/Traps, which takes out Imperial Iron Wall too.

 

S-T isn't a straight acronym, it stands for Synchro & Tuner. Yeah, you guessed right; it's main purpose is to screw up Synchro cards.

 

Z-W is indeed Zombie World. I figured it was a little pointless too, but I kept it in as it messes up some Alien Decks too. (though Aliens are hardly meta).

[-Griffin]

Then again, there's the chance that S-T is just going to turn their level 4 synchro into a level 10, but yeah, unlikely. Good deck.

[Hydra of Ages]

Are there any Generic level 10 Synchros?

Beh, hopefully that won't happen, but it's good for messing up their usual Synchro layout.
