[Archetype] Tyretian's "roid" Support!

[goodfusion]

[spoiler=An Introduction, read if you care]Hello there! In this thread you can find a collection of my support for the roid archetype, originally used in the GX anime and manga by Syrus Truesdale. More recently, they were used by Yugo in the Arc-V anime, in the form of a new archetype, Speedroid. While the Speedroids are not related to Syrus' roids, and their support only works for "Speedroid" not "roid", they do still count as roid monsters and must be factored into account when making support for the old archetype.

Released in Cybernetic Revolution, they have taken a back seat since their release. A big part of this is due to the roids' big brother, the Cyber Dragon archetype, which was released in the same pack. Cyber Dragons were not only were more or less better from the very start, but have received continual support, including a Structure Deck and a couple of Xyz Monsters. Meanwhile, roids have received nothing until High-Speed Riders, which brought the Speedroid archetype to the game. While certainly some of the monsters are a great addition to a roid deck, none of the cards are actual roid support- a missed opportunity, in my opinion.

My aim with this support is to bridge the gap between these archetypes, making the roid archetype more like what it could have been if it had had continued to support, whilst possibly giving Speedroids a bit of a boost in the process!

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Main Deck Monsters]Teleportroid
LIGHT Machine/Effect
Level 3 ATK 0/DEF 0
If you would Fusion Summon a "roid" Fusion Monster using monsters on the field or in your hand, you can banish this card from your hand, field or Graveyard to banish one of the Fusion Materials for that Fusion Summon from your hand or Graveyard instead. If that Fusion Summoned monster is sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon that banished monster.

Notes:

This card allows you to use a monster in the Graveyard (or in your hand) as a material, which then allows that Fusion Monster to float if it gets sent to the Graveyard. Not that the ability to banish it and a material does not activate, and happens when resolving the Fusion Spell/effect to Fusion Summon. Also note that you can use multiple Teleportroids per Fusion Summon, and it will summon as many of them as possible if it's sent to the Graveyard.

 

Skatebroid

EARTH Machine/Effect

Level 2 ATK 700/DEF 100

At the start of the Damage Step, if a "roid" monster you control battles: You can discard this card; that monster cannot be destroyed by that battle, and is unaffected by monster effects, except this card's and it's own, until the end of the Damage Step. At the end of the Battle Phase: You can return that monster to the hand; Special Summon 1 "roid" monster from your hand.

Notes:

A roid hand-trap that provides a sort of Waboku effect to a roid for a battle. This can also be used in your turn if you want to attack safely or replace it with a different roid at the end of the Battle Phase. Good things to summon are Expressroid and Speedroid Terrortop.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Spells]Support Mission
Quick-Play Spell

If a "roid" monster you control is targeted for an attack: Add 1 "roid" card from your Deck to your hand, then you can change the Battle Position of the attack target.

Notes:

An update of the card with the same name from the manga. Battle Position changing could be very helpful for stopping damage as well as potentially saving your monster. Not much to say really.

 

 

[spoiler=Traps]Super Enhancements

Continuous Trap Card

Once per turn: You can discard 1 "roid" Effect Monster, then target 1 Level 5 or higher "roid" monster you control; the target gains the discarded monster's effects while you control a "Super Enhancements".

Notes:

One of the main disadvantages with many of the roid monsters is their low ATK and DEF. Truckroid, Submarineroid, Ambulanceroid and a few others all have pretty decent effects, but lack anything else to back them up. This card is intended to help with this problem by giving those effects to bigger monsters. For example, imagine a Hi-Speedroid Chanbara that could attack directly for 4k damage or that equipped anything it destroyed and gained the attack of.

 

 

Most or all of these cards should be available on Duel Portal as Tyretian's cards. (Not public, but visible).

 

More to come, including Extra Deck monsters. Any constructive criticism, advice or praise would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!
