First attempt at card making.

[Zyirth]

Hello!

 

well, I frequently lurk around but I never really noticed that....well, this was a card making forum. <_< I have had some ideas and the like, and the result is the following archetype, the Void Shades. of note are two things: 1) a new monster type (Aberration), and 2) I'm trying to make this one a balanced (realistic) archetype. so I'm planning on trying this out against an actual TCG deck once its reviewed and such. so yeah, I guess that's all. onto the archetype.

Game-Play Explanation

So, now that you've (probably) read some(or a few) of the cards, allow me to explain the theory of how this archetype is "supposed" to work. I put that in quotations because it's still very much an early version(I did this in 30 minutes or so, go figure.) anyways.

 

[spoiler=[i]The Playbook[/i]]The key to the deck is the extra resource you have to manage: the Corruption Counters. these are mainly used to bolster either your field presence(through destruction or removal) or hand "advantage"(through their specialized draw card), as well as serving as fuel to the more powerful effects, namely the Torrential-like trap, the Solemn-like counter, and of course, the field spells.

 

I am sure you(the reader? <_<) noted the two field spells. those are the key to the deck, at least, in theory. their win condition is basically to reach the 40 counters on the second field spell, or to lock down the opponent so badly with the combined efforts of the archetype that he/she can do nothing. that is to say, as they accumulate counters, the field spells get more useful. the drawback is speed, as always, which is so crucial in the meta nowdays.

 

The monsters are used mainly as a beatdown/defensive move, or as a precision strike, in terms of card destruction. their only Tuner works as if a Junk Synchron, or the like. most of the Level 4 monsters have the ability to take an extra hit in battle, in order to increase their survivability and help the deck cope with the mediocre speed. the Level 6+ effect monsters are sort of Boss monsters, which rely on the number and variety of Mooks they're related to that are on the field. the Synchro is the trump card, generally speaking. the negation effect comes at a huge drawback if you realize that the deck needs the monsters outside the grave, not in it.

 

The tech monsters are just that, tech. side material or such. but as noted, they're not quite "good" (balanced). I'll leave that up to you to decide, though.

 

The trap cards are generally just useful (though situational) cards. the "Macro Torrential" might be broken, perhaps, but I think that can be fixed if I add something like "Destroy all monsters on the field, and remove them from play"

clause or such. then you could use MBaaS or Stardust/Starlight. aside from that, I don't really see much issues with the traps.

 

 

 

TL;DR Aliens.....IN (Dimensional)SPACE!!!

 

 

Rate, Review, Flame, anything? all feedback is appreciated.

[Zyirth]

BUMP

 

I guess the idea's too stupid? <_<

[Zyirth]

BUMP again....

 

substantial views but....no reply? I wonder, is the idea so bad that its not worth the reply, or so good that people are just copying it up instead of reviewing it? <_< I'm certain its the former, but if it's the latter....well, lol.

[seattleite]

This is a very interesting Idea. I especially like the win condition in one of the field spells. Just 2 things:

* For the Tech what would make them more playable is if you were able to remove your OPPONENT'S monsters to summon the corrupted monsters. Then you wouldn't have to fit deckspace for fairies, warriors, etc. and just run it to go against their deck. The effects are suited for that anyway

* Some of your cards are underpowered compared to real TCG cards (Emperor's Command is Solemn Judgement with an extra cost)

 

And is this really your first time card making? I didn't notice

Hello!! thanks a lot for responding, I had lost hope for a moment. T_T

 

To your first point, the tech's summoning conditions were specifically meant to be used in conjunction with the Scout Infiltrator, heh. also, I feel it would be something of a broken effect if it could be done on the opponent's side of the field.

 

To the second point, that kinda is the point: to make them underpowered. taking your example, that card is a high risk, high reward one, and given that I'm basing myself off the current TCG banlist, having x3 Emperor's Command and one Solemn seems like a good, though "expensive" prospect, in terms of resources.

 

Finally, yes it's my first attempt at making cards. I guess it seems quite organized because I already had a concept in mind (the TL;DR, seriously I just had that thought since I use two decks, Macro Monarchs and Aliens, so I thought of trying to make a mixture of that while being unique as well, which brought that whole concept to life.).

 

Many thanks for the feedback, really.
