Atypical-Abbie Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Steadfast is a Level 3-4 Rock-Type EARTH Archetype based around locking down the opponent's monsters battle position. They are named after different IRL statues and sculptures. The Spell/Trap Cards are based of sayings related to stones and rocks and stuff. This is an Archetype I made a while ago, but I felt like trying it out on Duel Portal. I realized that they were a bit too slow, and that they didn't have enough ways to utilize their battle position lockdown effects, so I boosted their speed and made them also change the position of the monster as well. Main Deck Monsters: The Steadfast Moai Rock-Type/EARTH Level 3 When you Normal Summon a "Steadfast" monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, but it cannot be used as an Xyz Material, except for the Xyz Summon of a Rock-Type monster. You can only use this effect of "The Steadfast Moai" once per turn. If this card is used for the Xyz Summon of a Rock-Type monster: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; change its battle position, and if you do, it cannot change its battle position. 1200/1700 The Steadfast Thrower Rock-Type/EARTH Level 4 Once per turn: You can discard 1 card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls; change its battle position, and if you do, it cannot change its battle position.

You can only use this effect of "The Steadfast Thrower" once per turn. 1600/1500 The Steadfast Redeemer Rock-Type/EARTH Level 3 When your opponent Special Summons exactly 1 monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

Love of Ghibli Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I personally like the set. Their mechanic seems funny in the whole stun-locking since. Though I do want to ask. Monsters can change their battle position if another card effect forces them too, correct? If that is the case then I think they are permanently balanced. Also I feel like Rock and a Hard Place should have some kind of piercing effect. This way it can be completely utilized if monster was shifted into defense position from attack.

Yes, other cards can still change them, for example, you can use multiple of these guys on the same guy to change their positions, but it cannot normally do so. Rock and Hard Place, well I thought that it already did a lot, I guess piercing isn't that powerful, and it can help them a bit too, so I guess I'll add it.

The Seventh Samurai Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'd really like to duel this. My star wars cards would probably wipe the floor with it though since most of them return themselves to the hand every turn.(spirit monsters would do the same) My dinos would find it an interesting challenge though.
