BtanH Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 I just wanted to say I really like this archetype. I don't like certain parts of the execution (largely the fact that everything floats on summon) but it's a really cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah, as I think it over I can't say I'm totally behind the floating, either. At the same time, I feel like there needs to be more that makes the tuners a little more special, and I'll have to change around some effects. So stay tuned as I brainstorm more for the archetype.

lecc_XD Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 As i told ya, make the Matrix Psychic There is a lot or good search, recycle a d summon support for that type~ Would be easier to search/summon that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR_CAT Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Alright, made a lot of changes (as I said; I wasn't happy with it before!) So here they are! - Cut one Matrix. Existing Matrix effects changed from hand-traps to equip-monsters. - Synchros lost the Spirit Bounce and got, instead, a not-as-good Spirit Beast Bounce - Matrix Omega was changed to better suit this change - Matrix Lab changed to a field spell with a different effect - Unstable Matrix changed to Matrix Proto as an Equip Spell with a slightly different effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lecc_XD Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 now it looks more smooth and good swarm as well~ i think it got better than before, and i want to test them out xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I will test them out once I get the chance. I think a decent engine could be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hmmmm....with all the cards you have that can bring out the Synchros for free, there are a lot of looping shenanigans that could come out of just tagging in an out. While the Matrix Monsters prevent that from being a major issue, I can see some crazy stuff going on. You may want to but a summoning limit on the more powerful level 6 synchros like Cailipso so you don't wind up drawing 3 cards for no reason.

VCR_CAT Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Oh, don't worry. Each synchro already has an OPT clause on each of their effects. Even if you do manage to summon him twice, you can't draw a second card the next time you summon him. Granted, I also forgot to make his effect equipping the matrix tuner instead of just summoning it. EDIT: Did some quick fixes; nothing gameplay changing. Calypso now equips the tuner instead of summoning it, like he should; a typo on Lab is fixed; and Matrix Proto now specifies from where it's summoning the Synchro Monster.

VCR_CAT Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 House Keeping! Some effects have been cleaned up in their OCG and the intended effects should be clearer. This will also be my submission for the tournament, so just raising awareness of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love of Ghibli Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why are the 4 based G.D.S. +1's on the summon? Why are all the syncs end up to +0 or +1 on the summon bar Omega? Well take that back since they can tag out during either players turn they aren't really +0's either its all plusses. Also do tokens count as cards controlled? While I don't have a real problem with all of the +ing I just find that there is a lot of all purpose +ing. Either you are very consistent with the search or you do some good stuff like -ing your opponent. I don't think you should be able to do both.

VCR_CAT Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Tokens count as cards controlled. The design of the deck is supposed to be a kind of controlled control. You want to keep a balance where your opponent controls more cards so that you can get stronger effects off of your own monsters, but at the same time keep them from getting too far ahead. The design is to try and maintain field presence with as few cards as possible, in short. I might train back a few of the effects; particularly Dione and Prometheus Alpha and shove them down 1 card that's popped instead of two. And, of course, to fit the theme of field presence with as little as possible, the idea was to have each monster do a little more but limited in that you can't have more than one of the same kind out, and with how it's worded you can't just do that with the synchros; but to avoid the trope of a card that does everything, they get the D-Ruler treatment in that you have to choose what you want them to do. I also try to keep them on specific themes for each so they that they don't try to do everything. Of course, that doesn't mean I think I did a perfect job of that. Overall I'm going to go back and look at each monster and rethinking any kind of plussing effects and train it back so advantage isn't such a prominent factor of the deck.

VCR_CAT Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Big Changes, Everyone! Calypso the Cunning's effects were changed: On Normal Summon he can SS from the hand.

If the opponent controls more, he can increase a monster's ATK or DEF by 500 until the end of the opponent's next turn.

If it's destroyed by battle, you can search out a warrior G.D.S. Delta Matrix lost the stat boost. If it's destroyed by battle, you can search out a G.D.S. spell or trap.

VCR_CAT Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Some changes made to the Matrix tuners. A little something to make bouncing your own monster a little more worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
