what a mouth full

[Ririkun]

A bit too much to read and understand...sorry o,o

Do you want to make an overview summary of how this archetype works and functions,

and we'll go from there.

[Tentacruel]

I agree that this is a bit much to read and understand, but the concept is pretty cool

[fategazer]

Epic. This is a form of epic. And yes, "epic" is thrown around a lot these days. Overall, great idea. It would never be in real life, but if some cards were added, this deck would almost be unstoppable. It is really good, but the bad thing is this is way too powerful. Otherwisely if it wasn't too powerful, 10/10. But for now 9/10...

[CrabHelmet]

The idea is interesting, but bloody impossibly to even build a half-decent deck around, much less ever pull off. Also, you seem to have messed up the conditions on some of the cards; as they're written, you can run a deck with just Arrival of the Old God and Maeva'thar the Devourer, and said deck would be absurdly broken.

 

That said, I would love to see an anime duel based on this set.

[Umbra]

Arrival of the Old God has now been fixed, and must be activated by Prophet of the Old One.

 

And yes, it's meant to be hard to use, but I've tried to speed it up as fast as I can.

 

To those who didn't get it, the point of the archetype/set is to summon Maeva'thar, through the long and complex ritual such a presence demands.

[Bringerofcake]

Wait a minute...

Humongous...Insect....

 

OH. MY. GOD.

 

OT: So, it's an alternate win condition that isn't. Good for an RP, actually.

8/10

EDIT: When I say that it's good for an RP, I mean that it's got a touch of the dramatic. In real game, it's gonna need speed, but the real game has that.
