Tribute Summon Deck

[TheSaiyanKirby]

There's almost zero support for Tribute Summong - it's essentially irrelevant. And every card that would help decks with Tribute Summoning are too generically good and get banned (like Ultimate Offering). So I decided to take a crack at maybe making a competitive Tribute Summon Support Deck. But I have no idea what's competitive anymore. I play with friends and I still use Injection Fairy Lily. So Please, tell me what you think.

I stopped at aura because his effect was hard to read. Does he let you summon again? Write it, lol. Also, I think he should not have the draw back effect of no other summons since the deck would slow down, and that's never a good thing. 

Also, I think that not being able to be used as xyz material like 'under world entity' is pretty awful, especially since his effect is twin twister, which is the same effect as "alternate blue eyes white-dragon." No xyz cards means a very slow deck. If you can pull off the normal summon, hats off to you, but once you brick or lose your power house 3500atk beaters, good luck! :D

Okay, first of all, 'zero support for tribute summoning' is wrong because of Monarchs. But I'm not going to be talking about meta but more about the cards...

 

First of all, card grammar. "Normal Summon or Set" is "Normal Summon/Set", "special summon" is "Special Summon", and "can not" is "cannot". Also, "XYZ" is "Xyz", also "graveyard" is "Graveyard", finally, "level" is "Level". So now that is it out of the way, I'll review it.

 

Biggest problem with the deck is that you don't use "Once per turn:"/"Once per turn;", rather, you use "Once per turn," which technically isn't the correct way of writing it.

 

Mischievous is a bit... I don't know, I just don't like how this card works. It's an instant search card that you can put out during the opponent's end phase, so maybe limit it to their main phase? You can also special summon multiple of them and get multiple searches off... so... maybe a hard OPT would do it? For example:

"During your opponent's Main Phase; you can Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned by its own effect; you can add 1 Level 7 or higher monster from your Deck to your hand. (This last part I don't really know the correct way to say, so sorry about that)." If you want everything to be OPT, then you would add "you can only use each effect of "Mischevious Spirit of Time" once per turn" at the end of the lore, although if you only want it from one effect, right after the effect, you would say "you can only use this effect of "Mischevious Spirit of Time" once per turn.", I recommend putting this first example at the end of all the effects. 

 

Lifeblood is okay I guess... a once per turn would be nice to prevent spamming the field. Nothing else seems wrong I guess, you could say in attack position just to prevent stall?

 

Frost Princess is... meh... you can basically spam it whenever your opponent special summons from the extra deck, it is never useless, and with the 'cannot declare an attack' it basically just stops your opponent from doing anything, maybe just limit the cannot attack to the opponent's summoned monster?

 

Aura Support Shaman's first effect means nothing; even if it was summoned that turn, you could still tribute it. I think you meant for it to give you an extra tribute summon to your Normal Summon/Set, which would be: "If this card is Normal Summoned; you can Tribute Summon 1 monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set.". It's second effect confuses me... I mean, I know what you were trying to say, but the wording is weird, I think you meant "If you used the effect of "Aura Support Shaman" this turn; you cannot Normal Summon/Set any additional monsters to your Normal Summon/Set, regardless of other card effects.", and its final effect is fine, I don't see really any problems with it...

 

This card doesn't belong here. It's not tribute summon support really, if it was, then Cyber Dragon would be tribute summon support. I mean... its token effect is good I guess... but I don't see this being used in any tribute summon decks, also that spacing...

 

I don't like this card... I mean, can't be negated at all? That is a little weird, as well it is for the other higher level monsters... I don't like it, because your opponent needs someway to protect themselves, it's a monster that grows stronger and the opponent cannot do anything until their turn. I feel like the not being able to negate should be removed, as it doesn't feel right...

 

Cosmic Samurai needs a hard OPT, because you can basically stop every monster your opponent would special summons, as well there is a way to make this card Psychic and make it not able to have to pay life points... but that isn't relevant right now...

 

Apocalypse Dragon's last effect is weird... again, why can it not be effects? I know these are supposed to be bosses for the deck but I mean, why do this to them? It feels out of place. As for its attack gain I mean... I feel as though it's a little... I don't know, nuke-y? I don't like it, as something like Raigeki is even limited to one, which this basically is; a raigeki for special summoned monsters.

 

Ehhh, I guess this one is fine. Still don't like the Normal Summon cannot be negated part.

 

Valkyrie Reaper... Instead of saying it cannot use its effect, why not just negate the effect itself? Also attack quite big for a two-tribute monster...

 

So Underworld Entity is a non-negate-able Mobius... I don't see much wrong, although the attack is a bit... high, no?

 

So Imperial Angler... Okay so I know what you meant for its effect, but that basically allows for no defense which isn't that fair, as well its effect just says that, although it doesn't really do anything, so it would be "When a monster is set in face-down Defense Position or summoned in face-up Defense Position; destroy that target. "Imperial Angler" must be face-up on the field to activate and resolve this effect.". It's aggro effect is a bit out of place... I mean, if its attack were a bit lower but no, this is a 3000 beater with that effect.

 

So Extra-Dimensional Oracle... again, card grammar. "If this card would be destroyed by card effects; negate that effect, then banish this card." I guess his effect is fine... I don't see why you can't put a OPT on it...

 

Hellforged Assassin is okay, I guess... try using ":" and ";", ":" means after it is the cost, and ";" is put after the cost or on the requirement/once per turn, and after it is the effect. Also would tell you to put 'Tribute Summon' and not "Normal Summon"

 

So Typhoon Wyvern... again, put tribute summon, not normal summon. I mean... his second effect is okay... but his final effect is weird, I mean... it means your opponent can only get rid of it through battle and really... usually every card can be destroyed by card effects, unless another card says so or it has a requirement

 

Spark of Life... it seems fine, but its final effect could be "these tokens cannot be used as a Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon", as tokens cannot be used as xyz materials anyway.

 

Spatial Rift is fine... maybe add "You can only activate 1 "Spacial Rift" per turn." and also make it target, just so it limits itself?

 

Recycled Tribute... First of all "Selected" is "Select"... I know that could be a typo, but this card is like a +1, so maybe banish the second target? As well, I recommend using target and not select.

 

Quick Transport Portal is fine I guess? Maybe it should be "Each player can Tribute Summon 1 monster in addition to their Normal Summon/Set."

 

Power Roll can go two ways; totally useless or no downside unless they roll below their hand size. I mean, some cards want to be in the graveyard, y'know...?

 

Expanded Catacombs is like you couldn't make up your mind. Just make it one or the other, continuous or field spell. As well, it is just a Mausoleum of the Emperor but treated as a tribute summon... nothing else...

 

Door of Dark Conjuring is fine I guess?

 

For Effect Breaker, just say "You can only activate this card if you have no cards in the Extra Deck, and have no Extra Deck monsters on your field, in your Graveyard, or banished.", and other from that, the rest if fine I guess... maybe add a OPT on it? (ex: "you can only activate 1 "Effect Breaker" per turn.")

 

Super Transporter Cannon is weird... first of all, you might as well use target instead of select, and I guess its search effect is fine?

 

Final one! Guardian of Great Souls is a bit weird... its grammar is all over the place, so I'm just gonna correct it.

"When a level 5 or higher Tribute Summoned monster is targeted for an attack; negated the attack, and if you do, draw 1 card. Your opponent cannot declare another attack this turn."

Also, its final effect is a bit weird... I feel as though it should be removed and just leave the first effect. Also, if this is a tribute summon deck, you want tribute summon, not normal summon.

 

I'm finally done... I think I'll stick to reviewing singles from now on...
