Advance Catalyst (Archetype)


Valkhon

Recommended Posts

Here I am again. This time trying with a small archetype. As always, I don't even know if this is playable or broken xD

 

The idea is to abuse Advance Zone activating its effects during the opponent's End Phase also, thus the need of quick and recurring tribute fodder. Escalation of the Monarch is then a great tools for this engine. And Card Advance also, you'll see why.

 

(ps images and theme are kinda weak, didn't spend much time for them)

Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can excavate the top card of your Deck. If it is an "Advance Catalyst" monster, send it to the Graveyard and draw 1 card OR add it to your hand. Otherwise, return this card to your hand. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent.

FLIP: Special Summon 1 "Advance Catalyst" monster from your hand.
If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Advance Catalyst" monster in your Graveyard, except "Impulsive Advance Catalyst"; Special Summon that target.

If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Attack Position monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes 0. If this card is Tributed for a Tribute Summon (even if Tributed face-down): You can target 1 monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defense Position.

FLIP: Excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck. You can add 1 excavated Level 5 or higher monster to your hand. Then place the remaining cards on the top of your Deck in any order.
When an "Advance Catalyst" or a Tribute Summoned monster(s) you control is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

2 "Advance Catalyst" monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card from your Extra Deck when you Tribute 2 or more "Advance Catalyst" monsters for a Tribute Summon. If you do, attach those Tributed monsters to this card as Xyz Materials. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead of Tributing 1 monster for a Tribute Summon. Monsters detached from this card this way are considered Tributed monsters.
 
Once again, this is the weird card. What it does is rewarding you with a free ED monster when you Tribute Summon with Advance Catalysts a level 7 or higher, but also stores extra tributes. Since detached monsters are considered tributed, if you can Tribute Summon twice (or if you do that during your opponent's turn) you can get another Suspended Potential - if you summoned a level 7 or higher. This, and effects that trigger on the monster being tributed activate. Pretty bizarre.

Activate only during your opponent's turn. Target 1 "Advance Catalyst" monster in your Graveyard; place that target on the top of your Deck, and if you do you can, immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 monster.
 
 

Well, I know this is really experimental, if you find something is terribly wrong, feel free to tell me :)

Yep I thought about making a high level boss, but I also wanted to keep them as an engine. Don't know, both ways have their pros and cons.

 

My question is: Could this archetype enable some new composition with level 7 and higher monsters?

 

What monsters do these go along with?

I would say Catalyst Reactivation is pretty good, but the other guys have just effects to keep the on the field and give advantages to tribute summoners. They could probably have a good effect when used to tribute summoning, maybe change Meditative's second effect. The XYZ is pretty baller tough, having 2 monsters out when you tribute summon. Methamorphose is also nice.

 

Overrall, you have to have at least 3 of each for Feverish's effect to go off, maybe a new/spell/trap card that can put a catalyst on top of the deck/hand?

 

Art is pretty rad.

Well, Meditative is meant to combo with Advance Zone. With Suspended Potential you can reuse both its effects, leave a monster your opponent controls face-down to be destroyed by Advance Zone, and some other with 0 ATK so you can still damage their LP. What I wanted is an archetype that could pull off different actions and counter-actions, being able to activate their combo during opponent's turn also.

 

To enable Feverish's extra draw (and effects that activate when sent to Graveyard, they activate even when sent from the Deck right?) you can use Metamorphose, Catalyst Reactivation and Card Advance. Their mechanic seems to cause a pretty slow start, then explode in mid game.
