The Archetypical Almanac [2 NEW ARCHETYPES!]

[EnkoMaun]

Yes, as I told before, I hate making one thread for an archetype. I'd rather make sets of different cards.

From now on, this is where I post my archetypes, ones that aren't included in the boosters.

 

A new booster is coming soon, too.

So, enjoy and rate!

More shall come!

[-Griffin]

An Archtype which loves Defense, hates DARK, what more could I ask for? It's a little anti-meta, but has a card to let them stand against others, and a nice bit original, I miss good ol' def position~

 

You might want to add "once per turn" to the Bard, though.

And either make a card which will let you use it often, or give the Blade of Ro the power to put itself back in your hand for a small cost, it seems like it's very helpful to the set.

[EnkoMaun]

Glad you liked it.

 

I'm not done with "Ropheg" yet, I still have Synchros to add.

 

Blade of Ropheg does way too much anyway, attacking in defense position is already a nice trait, but it would perhaps be way too OP'd if I made it go back to the hand.

 

I'll add the synchros, and perhaps another archetype today!

[EnkoMaun]

BUMP!

[EnkoMaun]

BUMP.

 

Nothing new until I get comments.

[EnkoMaun]

Ooh, bump.

[zombiepromking]

Only read a bit of each archetype and so far my favorite is the Ropheg, pretty much anti-meta Defenders that can attack from defense position. That my friend gets you a good rating.

 

8.5/10

[EnkoMaun]

Thank you.

 

A new one coming soon.

[EnkoMaun]

youz makez me sad.

 

bump.

[bury the year]

With the Ropheg monk, it should only gain the boost if it attacks, not if it battles. (Battling is the term for when your opponent's monster attacks your own, as well.)

[EnkoMaun]

With the Ropheg monk' date=' it should only gain the boost if it attacks, not if it battles. (Battling is the term for when your opponent's monster attacks your own, as well.)

[/quote']

I know that.

Do you think it makes it way too OP'd?

I don't.
