Thank you all for your comments. Going with AggroDrago's idea, I've added the "Solitairre Royal Ultimate" monsters and "Wearing a New Suit". I also gave Black Queen a much better version of Red Queen's effect, since as Evolution pointed out, the Black Queen is sub-par. Comment at leisure.

Neat concept.

However, for an archetype that relies on having only 1 monster out all the time, they really don't have the tools to deal with Big Boss monsters or field wipers. You may want to either give them a Synchro, XYZ, or regular monster to help secure the win OR give them some major negation tools.

What he said, its a cool concept, but you definitely need some good support to even the field. Actually Kaiser Colosseum would be a good card for this archetype. But its cool so far, and I cant wait to see what you come out with next

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

Interesting concept, think you definately need more offensive oomph. Pretty much what the other said.

[Agro]

Favorite part about this is that the archetype's only trap card is an opposite to the rest of them.

Since the deck relies heavily on only having one monster on the field, it should focus on having that one monster AND supporting it too extremes. Also, I advise against using Synchros or Xyz because that wouldn't make any sense. What I would do is use fusions or rituals, since those do not require putting two monsters on the field.

Fusions would work better because you could do something like the Masked Heroes, where you really only need 1 monster and a Spell/Trap to bring out the monster. Other thing you could do is just give them a big NOMI monster that can only be summoned under certain conditions pertaining to the archetype.

Other than getting some big gun, I like the idea. It's fresh, it's good, [s]and it reminds me of why I used to play Infernal Incinerator.[/s]

[{Galvantula}]

Royal red queen is pointless when opponent has at least 1 monster on their field. Possibly make it only recude for monsters owner controls. I can see where this is going with the levels stuff, so I guess you're going for a level 5 and 6 next, huh? This is interesting. I demand to see more.

[NumberCruncher]

Thank you all for the helpful comments. I've improved the Archetype now.

[Agro]

Wearing a new suit is a -3 isn't it?

You lose a monster on the field, then you discard a card, then you lose a card on the field, which is, based on the Archetype's effects, most likely the card you just summoned.

That might need some work.

If you use it while you control exactly 1 "Solitairre Royal"(which you should), this is only a - 1. And it's effect returns a monster from the hand to the deck, not discards or returns a monster twice.

[Agro]

You lose a monster in your hand: -1
You Special Summon a Monster: +1
You discard a card: -1
You lose a monster on the field: -0.5
Total: -1.5 (rounded: -2)

You shouldn't need to lose 2 cards from your hand. I think 1 is balanced enough.

Did you get rid of some cards?

I'd still say -1 since most of the Solitairres are more useful in the hand than field. And I didn't get rid of any cards, though I think I did change Black King to say "discard" instead of "send to grave from hand". Why do you ask?

[{Galvantula}]

black queen is a fusion :/. I think it needs a trap/spell that activates when they lose ATK, would be really interesting. Could possibly destroy a card, since these lack destruction power. Nice job, though.

Did you change the name? Because I cannot see them.

[NumberCruncher]

Which cards specifically are you looking for?

[{Galvantula}]

Now that's an awesome trap card Really good archetype now, with all the cards it needs. I'd make a deck out of these if I could.

[bilaterus]

Love this archetype, looks pretty original in concepts.

regular red queen seems to go against the rest of the theme...perhaps change it to 'select 1 solitairre royal you control, and increase its attack by X, then decrease it by Y for each other monster you control' basically, a little more kalut-esque, since ideally you only want one monster out at once. Although then it becomes similar to red ace...

Speaking of which, regular red ace is a little vague, you could clarify which monster;s original atk it gains.

Might want to make Wearing a new Suit searchable or recyclable since it is the only way to get the strong mons out. Also, the monsters all say 'special summon with wearing INTO a new suit' so that needs fixing.

Thanks for the input. Made the changes suggested and added Solitailor for Suit recyclability

Added the Solitairre Jokers to my Archetype, so comment.

[Agro]

I believe I made a card like the Joker Imposter and was flared for it. So ima gonna do the same for you. That ability is SUPER OPed.

Add a burn effect to Schemer. (Like 300 points per card) hehe

Took an interesting direction with Imposter. Also fixed Schemer.

[Agro]

What's your win condition?

Follow up: how does Imposter help you reach it while staying within the playstyle?

Wait, you seriously put the eff damage on the other joker?! *snaps* forgot the /sarcasm. I was trying to get you to make me a CED, thank you for doing so.

Depends on the build. It can either be Ultimate Red King OTK, or Joker Burn, depending on which cards you run.

Obviously, Imposter works with the latter

[bilaterus]

They both look a bit broken at the moment, on par with the envoys, which looks like what you were going for. You really helped with that Aggro lol

If you do decide to nerf them though one idea is, make it so that YOU take half the ATK of the monster your impostor destroys, as a sort of cost?

Changed Imposter a little again.
