Clown/Evil Clown Archetype

[Toxin00]

I have a deck built around the current clown archetype, and for a long time have really wanted to see more of them. So, I decided to take a crack at it myself. Please, tell me what you think of them.

 

**The Ringmaster's ability has been edited. Read the description for the revised effect. Picture of the card will be modified later.

Effect Monster

If "The Dark Carnival" is on the field, you may special summon this card by tributing one "Clown" monster on your side of the field. As long as this card remains face up on the field, your "Clown" monsters cannot be targetted by spells, traps, or monster effects.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Evil Clown's Stare]

These are nice cards but ill go one by one

Clown Diabolist : Overpowered you just can't destroy a spell or trap card by changing position

Clown Dummy : Overpowered change the effect like send this card to the graveyard to special summon a level 4 Clownrower

Clown Knife thrower:you cant inflict 300 dmg to the opponnent life point by switching position

Clown escape artist : Nice one

Evil clown idol:Also nice one

Evil clown mask:Overpowered 500 atk and 500 def is good but the other effects are overpowered

Evil clown Milenko:Overpowered just like clown dummy

Evil clown the ringmaster: Just overpowerd change its effect 

Evil clown's stare: The best card in those clowns

The dark carnival:The most overpowered card in those clowns change the effects

6/10

Clown Dummy : Overpowered change the effect like send this card to the graveyard to special summon a level 4 Clownrower WRONG (you're actually suggesting a worse effect)

Clown Knife thrower:you cant inflict 300 dmg to the opponnent life point by switching position WRONG

Clown escape artist : Nice one

Evil clown idol:Also nice one

Evil clown mask:Overpowered 500 atk and 500 def is good but the other effects are overpowered WRONG

Evil clown Milenko:Overpowered just like clown dummy WRONG

Evil clown the ringmaster: Just overpowerd change its effect  RIGHT (odd that you're right on this one)

Evil clown's stare: The best card in those clowns

The dark carnival:The most overpowered card in those clowns change the effects WRONG (they CAN'T swarm so it fine)

6/10

 

 

These are actually very balanced, the ones that say switch from defense to attack are slower and weaker than the initial clowns. Clowns were made to combo with cards like stumbling or Labyrinth of Nightmares to constantly change position to gain some form of advantage. The only problem is Ringmaster because him with mask on is both of his effects which just constantly gives your opponent -2's for literally no cost. Luckily sense these cards require time to set up and so much dedicated and non-reliable protection they balance out with there derp effects. In short I'm a fan.

Excuse me while I go have nightmares.

 

Most of these cards are actually very underpowered.

 

But still balanced, mind you.

These cards will make you win the battle instantly like exodia its supposed to make normal cards not clowns stronger than exodia

Well, thank you for all of the input. I personally fell that with the proper set up, virtually any archetype can assure a victory, especially archetypes that control or have great swarm capabilities. Thank you, Beginning for understanding the concept behind these, as well as the fact that using them would take no short ammount of patience. After all, if you don't get them set up right or quickly enough, your boned. That being said, all you would really need to destroy this kind of strategy would be "destroy all" effects. Its a way around many strategies really.

 

Anyway, back to the original point. Thank you all for your input. I personally feel that the only real problem with these cards, at least when it comes to game mechanics, is that the Ringmaster with a combination of the mask or other combo makes it so he can destroy multiple cards in a turn. I will change him so he can only use one effect per turn regardless of position. Would that help?

OMG Learn the game! I don't even want to get banned for the vast amount things I want to point out that is wrong with that statement. 

Just know this you, sir and/or madame, have no understanding of how cards work or simply time. See some other cards before you just blatantly decide something is broken.

[T3RA PROWL3R]

Imagine if clowns were compatible with Karakuri. :O

[Toxin00]

Thank you for backing me, Beginning.

 

Also, I think the clowns that already exist could work fairly decently with the Karakuri. My Clown deck right now is a little lacking in monsters, but I imagine if you threw a couple clowns into a a Karakuri deck, it'd be a nice little addition.

These are far from "ultra super cards". There are several archetypes already made that are far stronger than this one. Blackwings, Lightsworn, Gladiator Beasts, Six Samurai, Synchro, XYZ, etc... and that is only to name a few. Secondly, these are based on a small group of monsters that already exist. Crass Clown, Dream Clown, and Ryu-Kishin Clown. All three of which have effects similar to these monster's effects. I simply wished to extend the archetype, because I play a Clown deck, and would like to be able to add to it in the future.
