Bump.

Added 2 cards.

[Cloister]

Any comments?

Nope?

[EndlessOcean]

Not quite sure what the win condition is, maybe add a synchro or 2?

[Cloister]

I'm planning to.

[8komma2]

The wording of "Catfish" and "Sea" is a bit odd.
If the effect is what I think it is, it should be something like:
"Switch the original ATK and DEF of all "Sargasso" monsters on (your side of) the field."

There are some useable cards here, but nothing really extraordinary.

[Cloister]

Fixed the lore...

Added a Synchro.

[EndlessOcean]

Goal = Switch posistions with Synchro to beatstick or control?

[Cloister]

Pretty much. When I started making the cards, I wanted to base the play style on switching positions, but yeah...

Wasn't planning on making any Synchro. But I kinda had to. I'll make more cards, will probably have 20 cards when done.

EDIT: Added 3 new cards, including a new Synchro.

[Cloister]

Bump.

[Cloister]

Finished the set...

The concept is nice, but not the execution. They look like they should be swapping battle positions and ATK/DEF every two seconds, but a lot of the cards are pretty generic. The effects should trigger upon one of the above happening, and they need to happen more often. Sargasso Kraken is overpowered. Your opponent can't attack until they get rid of it, and when they do all their cards are gone. Even with the cost for its ATK boost, its summoning effect is overpowered as it doesn't need ATK to be threatening.

Anyway, change the effects to better suit the archetype. If battle positions and stat swaps are what you're going for, make almost all the cards either do one, trigger upon one, or be a generic cover-your-weaknesses card.

[Cloister]

I want to make it a s good as possible, but cba to change it now that I'm done with it. Just me being to damn lazy. And thanks for the comment!

[Giga Hand]

Then let me suggest a card. I just thought of it and naturally want to share it.

[color="#FF00FF"]Sargasso Counterattack[/color]
Select 1 "Sargasso" monster on your side of the field. It gains ATK equal to its original DEF, and gains DEF equal to its original ATK. (Basically, it takes whatever stat is currently at 0 and makes it the same as its actual stat. Card is probably crap, but w/e.)
