Support for existing archetypes


Giga Hand

Recommended Posts

Amazoness Battle Cry
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to an "Amazoness" monster. The equipped monster gains 500 ATK. When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle: draw 1 card. If it was an "Amazoness" monster: you can Special Summon it.

[i]Amazonesses have what, Training Ground and that's it for Special Summoning? Also lets you bring out Queen easier.[/i]

Infestation Zone
Field Spell Card
"Steelswarm" monsters can be Normal Summoned from your Graveyard.

[i]Steelswarms are, in my opinion, among the weakest Duel Terminal archetypes. This gives them power and flavor, and continues the trend of overpowered Field Spells that save archetypes from sucking.[/i]

Laval Miner
FIRE/Pyro/Effect/Level 2/500 ATK/200 DEF
If a "Laval" monster, except this card, is sent from your hand to the Graveyard while this card is in your Graveyard: you can draw 1 card. You cannot use this effect if multiple card/effects with the same name are in the Chain.

[i]I'm pretty sure Lavals were intended to be used with existing FIRE support cards, such as Blaze Accelerator and Rekindling.[/i]

Mist Valley Berserker
WIND/Thunder/Effect/Level 7/2500 ATK/1000 DEF
If a "Mist Valley" monster, except this card, is returned from the field to your hand: you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).

[i]MIST VALLEYS NEED MORE CARDS. That is all.[/i]

The Fabled Chimer
LIGHT/Beast/Effect/Level 3/1400 ATK/200 DEF
When this card is discarded to the Graveyard: add 1 Level 2 or lower "Fabled" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

Cry is good, but maybe increase the boost? Horn of the phantom beast gives 800...

infestation zone looks fun.

Miner is, with its current wording, pretty OP. I suggest that you banish the miner to draw 1 card, or else you can just keep drawing turn after turn after turn...

Berserker needs to be, 'If a "Mist Valley" monster, except 'Mist Valley Berserker', is returned from the field to your hand'. Pretty powerful but not sure whether it needs a nerfing or not so no further comments.

Overall, they all look fitting and I would probably use them all, if I, er, used any of the archetypes lol

You sure you're reading Miner right? It triggers upon Lavals being sent from your hand to the graveyard. Lavals have cards that force you to do that, as a terrible way of dumping Lavals. It's there to ease the pain, and make Blaze Accelerator more playable in Lavals. Drawing turn after turn was the idea.

The way MVB is worded, if a different berserker is returned you can summon the one that was already in your hand. Again, that was the idea.

Equip cards in general are... well... not worth running. Even Break Draw! that does the same thing for a few turns with more targets. This is better than most Equip Cards. Name sucks though.

The field spell is just so abusable. Activate a few Card Destruction/Needlebug Nests, then Compensation of Blood, and hey I can keep summoning from the endless supply of heavy artillery thats in my graveyard until I OTK your ass. And OTK's suck.

Laval's don't really discard that much, so its not that abusable I think. Everyone tries to jump on any card that lets you draw regularly, but given Laval are quite an undersupported archtype that focus more on milling to then removing from graveyard then its maybe not too bad. Maybe.

Berserker, yes this beatstick is so difficult to summon... >_> Good job it doesn't do anything more than that.

Fabled Chimer < Fabled Krus

In short, some decentish ideas that I don't really like that much. Miner is probably my pick, but think many others will jump on that one as "OMG this lets you draw cards it must therefore be OP!!!"

Rekindling? Yes. Blaze Accelerator? Hell no. If Lavals need discard power, we just bring out Lavalval Dragoon. That's a once per turn effect that can add 1 Laval and then discard 1 Laval. We don't need to rely on crappy GX cards, especially when you are using a 2700 ATK monster (Laval Stannon) that is virtually indestructible. Am I ranting? Good, cause this needs to get through to you.

I agree that OTKs suck, but I disagree that my card is the problem. Compensation of Blood aka Ultimate Offering is.

If it needed to get through to me, could you please do it in a more tactful way?

My excuse for that is I saw some volcanic decks in the Your Deck section that seemed quite successful, so I assumed BA wasn't all that bad.

Oh yeah, Offering will probably get limited if not banned in March.

Just as long as they ban it after I'm done with it in my next fanfic. After that I don't care, but need it in the mean time.
