Oppose the broken ones! Meta-inspired Archetype: Framelords!

[-Dyntos]

[u][color=#ff0000][b]Hi, just made an account to post this: Bonus points to people who get the naming scheme for the boss monsters. Super bonus points if you can sort out the garbage cards from the ones meant to be ran competitively. Any questions about how the deck runs/is intended to run are most welcome.[/b][/color][/u]

This a archetype based on celebrating all the different types of monsters we have in this game.

Essentially, the win conditions of this deck is based off powerful banned, limited
or otherwise "broken" cards which at least at one time wreacked havoc on
the game. And mimicking them in a more balanced manner, countering them
using similar effects, or at least acknowleding them in some way. As
well as taking advantage on the different color frames of monsters to
both limit, and facilitate the deck's engine.

However, instead of directly mirroring/countering their effects, I've decided to mostly
fulfill that goal with their theme's activation type.

The target level of power/competitive ability is about tier 2. But as a consistent
tier 2, not sacky or thriving entirely on countering.

There's also a lot of word play in these cards, I think it fits it well. I may
change it, but i feel like there's no better naming scheme for them.[/center]

[center]I also tried my best to keep the wordings as realistic as possible, but
somewhere down the line i decided to get the effects i want out, then
edit them to work later. So please, any suggestions are welcome. I
worked long and hard on this archetype (going on a year now. Scrapped
the entire archetype twice, but keeping the main concept in tact) but am
mature enough to accept any criticism you can throw at me.


Do note however, I've had the privilege of receiving the input from top
level players from regional tops, and ycs settings. So if you're going to give criticism, please
know what you're talking about. Don't just skim and cry "OMG BROKEN"
without definitive examples.

So to start, we have the vanguard. These monsters are based off of iconic, but not necessarily broken or even competitive cards.

[color=#faebd7][b]FrameLord N Vahn[/b][/color]
Earth
Level 4
Warrior
1400/1200

A champion brought here from a world of summoners where battles in this
world are entertainment. To combat the strongest, most dangerous of
beings who were all banished due to their crimes against the peace of
the dimension. As they attempt to force their way back, this young man
is all that can stand in their way...

Mulling over his stats, and flavor text. But i think the name, and typing/att is fine.
If i had the art, I'd make him look like a celtic guardian cosplayer, with loose fitting clothing.

[color=#ff0000][b]Things of note[/b][/color]:

1: Vahn, Deffective, and Shu'all all are treated as the same name in the deck to establish a sort of "soft limit" on them. You can only run three, thanks to the harpie lady/# rulings.
So keep that in mind.
2: The deck is INTENDED to start out slow. Similar to lightsworn.
3: The deck facilitates itself, each boss monster can facilitate the summon of the next. At least, that was the goal.
4: Wordings are probably not all right, so any rewordings to make them work are appreciated.
