Black Hawks Redone [35/35]

[DuskOkami]

So I decided to remake an old archetype I was working on and try to modernize them without making them too broken, hopefully. Note that I will add backgrounds to those without one. *Some artists found and credited.

The Oppressed People need some form of hope after the failure of their last revolt, the Royalty was just too strong and the people too weak. Together they form a United Resistance in order to develop a plan, but how can so many unarmed and unprepared villagers take on an entire kingdom? Within the shadows of the kingdom the Black Hawks were born, named by the fallen prince who leads them, are the rebel group who fights to release the oppress from a cruel monarchy. Members of varying social statuses, lives, and moralities have joined forces to take down the monarch piece by piece through guerilla warfare. Though small in number, the band relies on each other with the the lead by ex-generals and royals to fight in the shadows to find the freedom once craved in the empty land. With Black Hawk and his men working side by side could they ever stand a chance and free the people?

This is gonna be a long one...

 

[spoiler=Main Deck Monsters]

Assassin - Fairly standard, though I'm not entirely sure why he kills a buddy when he comes in, unless there's a card later on that takes advantage of being destroyed?

 

Bandit - Nitpick here, I know, but why is a Bandit banishing stuff? Shouldn't he just be regular ol' destroying it? I dunno, it's probably just personal taste, and at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.

 

Duelist - Hah, I get it. "Duel" and "Dual", like how he fights AND has two attributes? :D Puns aside, the card is okay as is but I feel like he's doing too much. "I can't be SS'd, I'm two Attributes, opt I can't be killed by battle, and when I kill something I do an extra 400." Like... maybe cut back a bit?

 

Lead Rider - Normal > Discard to SS > Sync, amirite? Fairly standard procedure in the game these days, so I don't see anything to improve upon. Maybe even give him another ability (maybe Duelist's 400 extra?)

 

Noble Decoy - Lives up to his name, at least. In theory, you could go second, get this guy, Rider, and another two in our hand, and first-turn sync for 11. That's... Star Eater, right? Yikes, this is getting scary good.

 

Rogue - Rogue pairs with Noble Decoy as well (huh, how oddly fitting). I'm guessing this is for Xyz plays. Theoretically, you could Decoy > Rogue > {Random} > Discard, SS Rider > Xyz AND Sync... WOW... Again, this all assumes godly top deck, but yeah...

 

Spear - Ah, here's the monster that opens up the Synchro turf. I guess technically it opens up Rank 6 plays, but that takes two turns and who has time for that?

 

Spy - Here's the matching card for Rider. I like that her effect plays into her actual... personality? Whatever, I think the effect matches the card, I guess is what I'm getting at.

 

Tactician - Oh, I like this guy. He's an Archetype "Summoner Monk", which is, so far, something they needed.

 

War Hawk - I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed he's not black. Also, his effect is weird (and could also use a "Synchro Summon" somewhere in there because as it is, the text doesn't say what it is).

 

War Hound - This is, what, the fourth Tuner? I dunno, feels like a lot. Even Lightsworns only had three, I think. Although I can appreciate that he's an Infernoid Decatron for your Archetype.

 

Beatrice - I like her search effect, but I guess I don't follow why she SS's from the hand. This is starting to get swarm-y (which is legit, but it wasn't exactly the way I thought this was going with how much swarm was already up in the other cards).

 

Lloyd - This guy is basically a LIGHT and/or DARK RotA. If it were real, it'd just reek of Tellar abuse...

 

Argus - Again with the banishing... Why did people stop doing bounces or just plain old destruction? Just means your effect is moot if they can put the brakes on banishment. I like his first effect though.

 

Richter - Why not just... give him the same effect as Argus and then give him a different secondary effect? I mean, the effect is fine, but I'm just... confused.

 

Rising Squire - RECYCLE! Just what I was looking for. It's a shame that only one of the Main Deck guys does this... then again, maybe that's all the archetype needs.

 

[spoiler=Spells]

Hurrah - Is this a wash? I mean, yes, you go -2 to get the +2, but this just doesn't feel like it's a net 0. Maybe because I've imagined what a good setup with these guys can do.

 

Supply Unit - So, the same as the above, but more random? Okay, I guess...

 

Rally - Okay, I'm seeing a pattern here. Everything in twos...

 

Guerilla Tactics - Should say "send cards[...] equal to the number of monsters[...]. Other than that, I mean, I guess I'm just surprised it doesn't get rid of them at the end of the turn or something like most Xyz springboards.

 

Study - Should this be a Continuous? I feel like it should. Also, why not just say "Draw 2 cards."? I mean, you said it earlier...

 

Summon the Elites - I feel like the trade off should be that you specifically have to discard monsters. To me that seems more appropriate.

 

War Cry - Oh, cool! It's a bit like One Day of Peace, but only for you and you can still attack with a monster... So, I guess, not at all like that... ^.^;

 

To War! - Wow. The way it's worded now, you even D&B SS'd monsters you'd had on the field prior to this card. Harsh, but I guess it's supposed to turn the tide or at least be a last push for game.

 

[spoiler=Traps]

Ambush! - A bit boring, but a necessity if you were wanting to run a pure deck. Otherwise, outclassed by several other common traps (Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Punch-in-the-Box, etc.).

 

An Overwhelming Will - Again, a bit boring, but a necessity. Not much to say other than it seems like a cheap way to end the battle phase.

 

Humble Retreat - Pretty neat effect. I like the clause in the end that protects your monsters from card effects, like a proper army covering the rear as they beat feet.

 

We Are The Shield - And yet here, the effect is trite. I feel like, instead, it should offer more limited protection; maybe just monster effects? I dunno. It just seems a little overused to see "No card effects" twice in a row.

 

[spoiler=Extra Deck]

Field Commander - So... Free Xyz Summon on Synchro? No, that's not OP at all... >.> In all seriousness though, it just seems cheap.

 

Royal Guard - And see, here you've gone in the opposite direction. This guy is basically a free turn for your opponent. His effect should be optional, so that summoning him isn't an inherent no-battle turn.

 

Raphael - Neat effects. I've got no complaints about this guy, and I think it's cool he can be used for an Xyz.

 

Lancelot - 2 is hardly enough to justify immunity to 3/4 of removal methods. I'd say they should swap, but it's just too easy to get a lot of LIGHT monsters out with this archetype...

 

Armstrong - THIS CARD HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY LINE FOR GENERATIONS! *ahem* That out of the way, I like this card's effect, but I think it's ATK could use a bit of a boost.

 

Leader of Freedom - Here the "no card effects" effect seems less OP, just because it takes 3 monsters to make him and he loses it as soon as he gets attacked over. Well done.

 

Armored King - *drools* Another really well designed card, though the "no card effects" clause comes back to haunt you here because it means you can't do Freedom > King > Armstrong eff > Go for two attacks into 0 ATK monsters. Though, to be fair, that's almost too good now that I think about it.

 

[spoiler=Final thoughts]

My god there was a lot to go through, but I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed this archetype and I feel like it actually came to life a bit. I feel like I could tell what the story is with these guys, and it made getting through all these cards more enjoyable.

 

8/10 Kudos to you!

[DuskOkami]

Thank you for the feed back! Edits have be made (note those not mention have not been changed in anyway):

[spoiler=Main Deck Changes]Assassin - Now only destroys 1 card on the field since there is no "Black Hawk" that benefits from being removed outside of General Beatrice. This gives Assassin a wider range of use.

Bandit - Now destroys 1 set Spell or Trap. Doesn't prevent battle phase.

Duelist - No longer has a burn effect.

Lead Rider - Has gained Duelist's burn effect for 400 damage.

War Hawk - Art changed to be a actual Black Hawk in armor. Now specifics grave Special Summon is a Synchro summon, similar to Vayu of Black Wings.

Beatrice - Can no longer be Special Summoned. Retains +2 upon board removal and can now be discarded to add 1 card with "Black Hawk" from your grave to the hand.

Llyod - Can now only search Light or Dark "Black Hawk" monsters.

Argus - Targeted spells are now sent to the bottom of the owner's deck.

Richter - Effect now somewhat mirrors Argus but when there is two or more "Black Hawks." No secondary effects at the moment.

[spoiler=Spell Changes]
Supply Unit - Now serves as a wider range version of Pot of duality, limited due to only being able to add a "Black Hawk" monster to one's hand. prevents special summon to prevent any possible Otk situation from pulling something out from 5 possible choices.

Rally - Restriction set to work with the Generals. Guarantees a plus 1 to the hand for this requirement and a possibility for a 2nd draw if the drawn card is a monster.

Guerilla Tactics - Slightly changed text to hopefully be clearer that one loses top 3 cards PER monster summoned through effect. Prevents Xyz Summon that turn to avoid any possible Otks scenarios like Utopia the lighting.

Study - Is now a Continuous Spell. Clearly states you can Draw 2 as one resolved effect.

Summon The Elites -Now requires two monsters to add two generals.

War Cry - No longer another draw power but causes all "Black Hawks" to share the same level. Allows for more synergy with Spear and easier time to summon Lancelot.

[spoiler=Trap Changes]An Overwhelming Will - Prevents Monster destruction. Cards can still be banished, bounced, Kaiju'd.

We are the Shield - Now gives immunity to monster effect only.

[spoiler=Extra Deck Changes]Field Commander - No longer allows Xyz the turn you use his special summon.

Royal Guard - Effect is now a choice.

Lancelot - Effects have been swapped in number of required light monsters.

Armstrong - Atk and Def been bump to 2400 from 2000. Effect can now only target anyone but Armstrong to prevent a 4800 points of damage from just having Armstrong hit face.

[DuskOkami]

Not 100% sure this is enough for a bump but lore was added and hopefully I'll have a competent photo editor soon to fix the cards with no background.
