300 (not the movie) aka The Sentients

[Otakon]

Basically, I was thinking: "If I was in the show, what deck would I use?"

I needed something original and fun and came up with this archetype.

They're called: The Sentients.

The idea was combining ancient sorcery and modern technology to give rise to Cyber-Gargoyles. They are all DARK Rock-type monsters which look like your typical gargoyles but have high tech equipment and are powered by a sinister Orange core located at their heart.

However, what makes this archetype fun is the fact that everything is revolved around the number 300 (or 3 for levels).

They center around burn damage and ATK/DEF modulation.

I had a lot fun designing them and hope you like them, though personally, some might be a bit overpowered (like I said, I would use this deck in the show so it had to be badass)

THIS... IS... OTAKON!!!!1!

 

Nice set. I think the effects are all fine. They're balanced and effective. 9/10. Would like to see a Dragon, if I may suggest.

[Sp1at]

Good set a set like that would take me like 1 month for me to get it that balanced

[Otakon]

Glad you like it :)

 

Now about the dragon...

The ATK and DEF of my monsters all vary from 300 to 3000 (the only one missing is 3000 DEF).

So...3300 ATK and 3000 DEF may seem a bit overpowered...

I guess I'll use the Armityle style stat gain.

 

Sentient Powerhouse Dragon *(lol at the name)

DARK

Level: 9

[Dragon/Synchro/Effect]

1 Tuner + 1 or more "Sentient" monster(s) *(original summon condition)

If this card is selected as an attack target, you can discard one "Sentient" card to negate the attack and have this card gain ATK points equal to half of the attacking monster's ATK. If this card is destroyed battle and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon one "Sentient" monster from your Graveyard in face-up attack position.

ATK/ 300

DEF/ 0

 

Nasty little bugger no?

Also, Genma No Ou, your lore of the "Even Numbers" card seems a bit confusing. According to your lore, If I tribute a Level 3 monster, I can special summon all the level 3 monsters in my graveyard, but my lore say that I can special summon monsters whose combined level equals the tributed monster(so if I tributed a Level 6, I would gain either another level 6 or two level 3 monsters); could be I just misunderstood something.
