Steam Soldiers - Version 2

[Time Psyduck]

The Steam Soldiers were one of the first archetypes I posted. In short, they're steam-powered fighting robots with a Napolionic-era (Early 19th Century) theme. The first time I made them they were a combination Synchro/Accel Synchro spam and counter deck, using counters that burned themselves up. Thanks to the rulings for A-Counters, this got cloggy, and because I've moved away from archetypes needing a full extra deck, I re-made them. This time there's a single Tuner and Synchro, fewer monsters, and the counters are now removed as the costs for the monster effects.

Awesome cards, something Failnami should make. I don't see anything broken/OPed/UPed. I would use these if I could.

EDIT: Found that spoil heap targets the wrong card name, perhaps it's coal supply it's meant to target?

[Time Psyduck]

Thanks.

Spoil Heap should target Coal Supply; I probably changed the name at some point and just didn't change it in Spoil Heap's effect as well.

no pics?

[Time Psyduck]

No, which is why they're in written cards.

I'm not an artist, so I couldn't create my own, and I have a specific visual style in mind for them. Unless you can find some images of Steampunk robots in Napoleonic uniforms that I think fit what I intend for them, they'll stay as they are.

4 counters for Coal Supply is a little much, considering it can be sent from anywhere to get it's effect. at max, it should give 2, or you should change it's effect to resemble Sangan's more than Dandylion's.

[Time Psyduck]

Coal Supply is the main way to generate counters, without which the monsters are sub-par, hence why it gives 4 counters, and there's not a whole lot of ways to recover it. I'll have a look and see if 3 would work.

I've also added ATK/DEF to Gold Command, since it didn't have any.
