Life Gain (Edited 12/18)

[quote]It's a viable deck type in MTG, why not YGO?[/quote]

That's because having Life Points offers no "win condition" in YGO. Even if you have a few monsters that support the theme there aren't any cards that can use having a lot of Life Points to win the game, and therefore there's no point in increasing them, just keeping them above 0 is enough. That's why you need something like:

<insert card name>
<insert card type>
When your Life Points are 40000 or more, you win the duel.

Of course it would be bad if it was like that, what I mean is you need cards that benefit more from having a lot of LP and are actually using them towards achieving a victory, what you have is a few flavor cards that work with it, but they aren't enough to make it worth considering. And your support shouldn't be entirely geared towards LP advantage, otherwise you'll soon run out of cards in your hand to use and then no matter how many LP you have, it'll be over soon.

There are cards like that in YGO. Mars and one of the Parshaths gains ATK equal to the difference between Life Points, and I believe Saturn is the one that inflicts the difference as damage to your opponent. It's just that there aren't really any good ways of increasing your LPs.

EDIT: I was going to make a "boss" card that pretty much did what you said, but I figured since the mentioned cards already exist, there's not too much of a point.

I know, but none of them can really win a game even if you stack your deck with LP-increasing cards. Why? Because then you wouldn't have enough room left to consistently bring them out and use them effectively. Generally you can't just keep -1ing yourself to increase your LP and then summon Ancient Sacred Wyvern and expect to win, because by then the opponent will have built good field and hand presence to easily overcome a single boss monster.

There is a point. The point of actually being able to win with those cards.

tl;dr: make more support that helps you generate <hand, field, other> advantage while building up your LP.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Just before you posted I added 4 other cards. I'm going to rework some of the other ones as well so that they'll be less disadvantageous.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Bump. Please give any suggestions.

[Azuh]

Why not a card that if another card that halves your Life Points (such as Solemn Judgment) you can make it so it only takes 5000 life points instead D: if you've over a certain amount of Life Points that is

Also your monsters seem to be very defensive, like all other gain cards. Make some cards that destroy other cards

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Added some extra cards and edited a few of the ones already up there.

[sdkinslayer]

At first, cards that destroys other cards isn't a must in a Theme, make just cards you like. Neo-Parshath and Mars are to weak, because of they need a field spell to get their effects,
While "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field and your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, this card gains ATK and DEF equal to the difference in Life Points.
In addition you have to run Val Halla in your deck, because of Neo-Parshath is a lvl 5 monster. Furthermore, the halve of your Deck would composed of these cards 3* Neo 3* Mars 3* Val Halla 3* Terraforming 3* The Sanc "15".

To create a good life gain theme is really difficult, because of you need a reasonable mechanic that works although you get damage by your opponent. Cards that can use their effects by gaining life points like "Sky Knight - Sata" is a good idea, as long as its not to easy/difficult for you to gain life points.

I think you should change the conditions of the most of your cards. Your card effects (or your better card effects) should work if your life points are lower than your opponent's. In this case you also need ways to increase your opponents life points to use your own effects (maybe each of your gain life cards should have a obtional effect to increase your or your opponents life points). "Point Insurance" would be really nice for this tactic if it could also increase your opponent's Life Points. At first, you could increase your opponent's LP to use your effects and later your opponent will also lose the gained life points.

Sry, if my english sux a bit.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Making it so that their effects activate when your opponent has lower Life Points would be the exact opposite of the theme I'm going for. The intention is to reward you for using cards that give you Life Points, as well as simply dealing lots of damage to your opponent. I'm going to make some of the cards easier to use, and add a boss monster.

[Azuh]

Virus Fairy is kind of broken I would say. At minimum you can inflict 7999 damage to your opponent by its effect. Maybe have a max limit on its effect

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Yeah, I honestly couldn't think of a way to use the card other than that method. I decided to make it a half-damage effect that can be used as long as at some point you had 10,000 Life Points. Which is a bit strange, but it makes the most sense to me.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Bump! Please make some suggestions. I really want to make these work.

[i_can_do_stuff]

I don't have anything resembling a suggestion for the cards that you have already written. They actually look really good. I know how you play the game and I know that this type of strategy would work for you, so I have to say that you definitely wrote these cards to what you know. Now, that having been said about what you have, let me say something about what you could use. We both know eachother's play styles very well, so I think you'll understand what I am getting at here.

It feels to me like this set is missing something along the lines of stall or removal and offense is a little lacking. I would actually suggest a card that is similar to wall of revealing light here. Maybe an effect that allows you to dish out a certain number of lp to decrease the atk and defense of your opponents monsters so that you can gain a bit of an offensive advantage. For example:

Field Spell- Pay life points in multiples of 100 (maximum of 700) to decrease the atk or def of a monster your opponent controls by that ammount.

This would allow some of your attackers to get the opponent's field open so you can actually deal damage directly. This would also balance out some of the outrageous lp gain in the deck, so that it wouldn't be quite so advantageous.


As for removal, I would suggest something along the lines of a card that allows you to... oh..., just for example, discard a card from your hand to destroy one f/d s/t card on the field. While you have over (x) amount of lp guess whether it is a s or t and gain (x) amount of lp if you guess correctly.

Stall, though, would seem to me a very crucial element to this deck. My suggestion would be something that has a progressive effect based on your lp. Like this: When you have (x) amount of lp choose one of the following effects to activate. When you have (x) (, x being higher this time of course,) amount of lp choose two of the following effects to activate. (and so on) With the effects being something like this:
-Your opponent can only activate 1 s/t per turn. - Your opponent can only atk with mon per turn, and so on. Anywho, I think you get my point.
