Structure Deck 38: Dark Allure

[Time Psyduck]

Another new deck. This one is based around level monsters, and focusses on the later sets which need to be summoned by the previous forms to get the effects, and in particular Allure Queens, which are the least useful of the sets.

I'm not overly happy with the decklist, so feel free to suggest lots of changes.

Anyway, onto the deck:

Allure Queen LV10
Level 10/DARK
Spellcaster/Effect
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Cannot be Special Summoned except by it's own effect. Tribute 1 "Allure Queen LV7" you control equipped with a monster by it's own effect; Special Summon this card from your hand or Deck. Once per turn: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip it to this card. (Only 1 card at a time can be equipped due to this effect.) This card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the monster equipped by this effect. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card would be destroyed by a card effect, you can send 1 monster equipped to this card to the Graveyard instead.
ATK 2000/DEF 2000

Forseeing Mentor
Level 4/EARTH
Spellcaster/Effect
If you control a Level 4 or lower "LV" monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn: Target 1 "LV" monster you control; Send that target to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 monster written in the text of the sent monster from your hand or Deck, ignoring any summoning conditions. The Summoned monster is treated as being summoned by the effect of the sent monster.
ATK 1900/DEF 200

Enchanted Noble
Level 3/EARTH
Warrior/Effect
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's field in face-up Attack Position. You can equip this face-up card to an "Allure Queen" monster you control. An "Allure Queen" monster equipped with this card gains 1000 ATK and can attack your opponent's life points directly. When it does, any battle damage inflicted becomes equal to the original ATK of the equipped monster. If the equipped monster would leave the field, send this card to the Graveyard instead.
ATK 1000/DEF 1800

Pace of Progress
Normal Spell
Return any number of "LV" monsters from your hand to your Deck, then draw 1 card plus 1 more card for each monster returned to the deck by this effect.

Haunting Allure
Normal Trap
Special Summon 1 "Allure Queen" monster from your Graveyard, and one "Enchanted Token" (EARTH/Warrior-Type/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your opponent's field in Attack Position. You can then activate the effect of the "Allure Queen" monster summoned by this effect.

OMG Allure Queens are playable with this!!!
10/10

Thanks...I think.

Seriously though, any suggestions on the decklist would be appreciated.

[NumberCruncher]

I'm not sure what the point of having Noble SS himself to the opponent's side of the field if you can already equip him to Queen. Also, he should be a Union monster.

Pace of Progress should only return a set number of Lv monsters to the deck, preferably 2.

As for changes I'd make to the deck,

- Dark Mimic Lv 1
- Dark Mimic Lv 3
- Giant Rat
- Lightning Vortex
- Demotion

+ Alure Queen Lv 3
+ Dark Lucius Lv 4
+ Relinquished
+ Black Illusion Ritual
+ Level Up!

[Time Psyduck]

Noble is intended to SS itself so that you have a target for Allure Queen's own effect, should your opponent have no monsters to steal. That's also partly why it's not a Union, since unions only grant effects when their own effect equips them. I'll probably look at some way of perhaps recovering it when the Allure Queen levels up.

Pace of progress is intended as a Magical Mallet for LV monsters, to put back higher levels so the level up is a +0, not a -1. It'd be ruled that you have to send at least 1 monster, so it's not a free draw, but a set number robs it of flexibility, and LV monsters are less likely to make up the entire monster count of a deck than WATER monsters. I may put a limit of 2/3 monsters returned on it though.

On the changes:
The extra first-level monsters seem like a good idea, and Relinquished is interesting along with the Allure Queens. Level Up!, however isn't in because it doesn't work with these Level monsters - if it did, Allure Queens wouldn't be so unplayable. It would make a quick Dark Lucius upgrade at the cost of it's effect, but that doesn't seem enough to justify it's presence.

Pace doesn't need a limit, don't worry.

Allure Queen 10 may read better if it was 'you can send one monster equipped to this card instead', rather than having card twice. Who would use an equip card on it anyway?

Mentor+Silent Magician=fun. Also, dropping two Mentor's could be pretty beastly. Of course, these are just my observations so unless these would be too OP then you don;t need to change it.

Number Cruncher's changes look good too.

[Time Psyduck]

Thanks.

I've changed Allure Queen's effect, making it any card was an oversight. I'll think about limits to Mentor, although it wouldn't be anything too major. Silent Magician can use Level Up! already though, so Mentor isn't too much of a worry.

I've made most of the changes to the decklist; I only omitted Level Up! because it has no use in the deck.
