HakuroDK Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hello. Some of you may remember remnants of this archetype scattered amongst various sets. This is the Gradius series of cards based on the video game series of the same name. Currently, only the following Gradius cards are available: -Gradius-Falchionβ-Jade Knight-Lord British Space Fighter-Victory Viper XX03-Gradius' Option-Cyclon Laser ...and other related cards, such as the B.E.S. series. But I want to focus now on the Gradius themselves as they deserve a little time in the spotlight. Note that most names of cards have been altered but all are taken from the Gradius video game series. --- MONSTERS --- Name: Sabel TigerAttribute: LIGHTLevel: 4Type: Machine/EffectEffect: While this card is in face-up attack position, face-up Machine-Type monsters you control with 1200 or less Original ATK cannot be destroyed by the effects of Spell Cards.

HakuroDK Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 wow thoses sound pretty tcg legal.. cept for final stage a little out there...other than that i think the Gradius idea is great Well I wanted Final Stage to be rather unique in a sense. I wanted it to be a true Final Stage where Gradius takes down the Big Core. But thank you for the compliments! Link to comment
