Some good Gravekeeper support (5/5)

[Guest Chaos Pudding]

Expedition to the Grave

Normal Spell

If there is a face-up "Necrovalley" on the field, search your deck for 1 "Gravekeeper" monster and add it to your hand.

 

Pot of Necrosis

Normal Spell

If there is a face-up "Necrovalley" on the field and you control a face-up "Gravekeeper" monster, draw 3 cards. Then, discard 3 cards. You can discard 1 less card for each "Gravekeeper" in your hand (up to 2 cards).

 

Gravekeeper's Porter

[Level 2/DARK/1200/1200]

[spellcaster / Effect]

If this card is in your Graveyard and you control a face-up "Gravekeeper" monster, once per turn, you can return 1 "Necrovalley" in your Graveyard to your hand.

 

Gravekeeper's Acolyte

(Level 4/DARK/1400/1000)

[spellcaster / Tuner]

If this card is in your Graveyard, if a face-up "Necrovalley" you control would be destroyed, you can discard 1 card from your hand instead. If "Necrovalley" is not face-up on the field, negate the effect(s) of Synchro Monsters that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster.

 

Gravekeeper's High Priest

(Level 8/DARK/2500/2000)

[spellcaster / Synchro / Effect]

1 Tuner + 1 or more "Gravekeeper" non-Tuner(s)

While this card is face-up on the field, card effects controlled by the owner of this card are not negated by "Necrovalley". When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can search your Deck for 1 "Gravekeeper" monster and Special Summon it in Attack Position. That monster is destroyed after the next time it battles. Once per turn, you can remove 1 "Gravekeeper" in your Graveyard from play to Special Summon 1 "Gravekeeper" with the same name from your Deck or hand. That monster is destroyed the next time it battles.

We really need some support like this to bring Gravekeepers back again! Not sure if I'd run Porter, but all the others would certainly see play.

Porter's good, it basically makes most destruction aimed at NV a waste.

And is it just me or can High Priest use his effect to get another Acolyte and his second effect to get another Level 4 G/keeper, Synchro for High Priest, repeat, use both effects, instant full field.

[Hydra of Ages]

You forgot to add the "This card is not affected by the effect of Necrovalley" clause to Porter, because it targets a card in the Grave.

 

Or is it exempt because it activates in the Grave? I haven't played Necrovalley in forever, can't remember the rulings...

[-Griffin]

Well, Hydra, I assume the point of the effect is for when you don't HAVE a Necrovalley.

[Guest Chaos Pudding]

Porter's good' date=' it basically makes most destruction aimed at NV a waste.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed that. :P

 

I guess a clause that only 1 face-up Gravekeeper's High Priest can be on the field at the time would be in order?

The point, as Griffin said, was to activate when you don't have a Necrovalley on the field.

[Hydra of Ages]

True. Though it almost seems self-defeating to have a Gravekeeper negated by it's own field spell.

[-Griffin]

I think the better option would be to stop it reviving Acolyte, since it's still instantly any other level 8 Synchro. "When you get this 2500 ATK Beaststick, take a free Dark End Dragon/Stardust/Thought Ruler/Collosal" is pretty hax by any standards.

Think of it's effect this way, "When you don't have your field spell, get your field spell."

You're saying to change to

"At any time, get your field spell"

 

Which doesn't particularly help them outside of abuse with discard cards.
