[Written] Trickster Supports (NOT Trickstars)

[Fukato]

https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/334705-tricksters/

 

Tricksters are an Archetype consisting of Level 3 Main Deck Spellcasters of varying Attributes. Each and every one of its members has the ability to sabotage the opponent while in their GY. Here, I am going to present new supports for them and update their effects (errata if you will call it). The old post is up top and I will not repost those cards. But I will show the general Errata that all the members get.

 

Here it goes. "If this card is sent to the GY, you can send this card to your opponent's GY instead."

 

"While this card is in your GY, (insert sabotage effect here)."

 

"During your opponent's turn, if this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent there (Quick Effect): You can (insert minus effect here); shuffle this card into the original owner's Deck.

 

Now let's get officially started.

I’ll just go with the new cards posted here. AND A HERE WE GO

 

Nakagami: Good limiting effect, Special Summoning is super-important in the game and your card restricts that. The cost to get rid of it miiiight be a bit too harsh, though. I mean, your opponent gets said Summoned monster PERMANENTLY. Maybe add an “until the nth End Phase” clause if the Special Summoned monster doesn’t have a Level, or something. That is a bit harsh on your opponent.

 

Shigami-no-Kami: Ohh, a Speicial summon clause! Every archetype has one. It’s effect may be just that bit harsh (you know, targeting is everything) but the cost isn’t that bad. Banishing isn’t that hard, and any card you control can be banished. Pretty balanced overall. Harsher effect, lower cost. Maybe apply that to Nakagami.

 

Carnival: Lowering your opponent’s LP, are we? The requirement to get rid of Tricksters makes for good finishing plays. If your opponent has low LP, and you use a Trickster... well, unlike in the anime, we can’t magically stack our decks when we’re in a corner and OTK the opponent in 1 situational move. Also, it recycles Tricksters so you can change your strategy based on your situation. There is one thing I don’t approve of, however, and it’s this card’s GY sabotage effect. Field Spells are meant to support your archetype and help you with your strategy, not have the same sabotage effects as the monsters. The monsters are meant to hold your main strategy, and that’s the feel I got from this archetype. I recommend splitting it into two cards: The Field Spell keeps the supporty effects, and a new monster takes the sabotage effects.

 

Fusions: Oh. My. God. THIS IS BROKEN! Not only are you sending multiple Tricksters to your opponent’s GY, you can do it without Polymerization?! Let’s put this into practice. Reverence puts 3 or more Tricksters in your opponent’s GY, so that’s terrible already, and then it send MORE TRICKSTERS to their GY?! Also, detachment of souls does the same thing on a smaller scale, and then punishes your opponent for being PUNISHED?! *takes a chill pill before he gets out of hand again* These are b r o k e n in practice, especially because you don’t need Polymerization. Either require Polymerization, have a maintenance cost like LP payments, or banish the materials. (Really recommend the last one.) These are really broken.

 

Reverence: Cost to negate card is OK, because it’s archetypal and works against your strategy. Effect upon Fusion Summon, not so much. If it banished the materials, OK, but because it already sends them to the GY, then sends more to the GY... See above.

 

Detachment: Actually, card is OK, ignore what I said before. You will be dealing damage to your opponent with this one, which is super important. It also does it with Tricksters as well, so that’s one more. Can be underwhelming, if your opponent gets rid of the Tricksters fast enough. I recommend needing to use Polymerization, just to keep balance.

 

Overall: Extremely unique! Never would have thought of it! I had thought of something similar, called “Malware” monsters, but they summon to the field and sabotage from there! I didn’t think to add a clause where your opponent waits a turn to get rid of it, that was brilliant. The archetype overall is very well-balanced, and I commend you. These are super-creative, super cool, and super balanced! I love it! I do recommed two things:

 

Since they’re Level 3, Xyz Monsters might be good, and since they hold on to their mats, you can make more powerful effects.

A unique Fusion Spell might work well for them. I mean, they have Fusions...

 

OK, I apologize for any rudeness I might have done, so Looooooong! *flies away on a Red-Eyes Toon Dragon*

[Fukato]

Balanced it. Though I am not sure if the Contact Fusion was too much of a problem as you needed the monsters on board and not in the hand. But I guess this way, it requires a Polymerization or the Archetypal Fusion.

[Fukato]

Added "Tricksterlusion".

[Fukato]

Added 3 Link Monsters and realized that Soul Drain can help this Deck. I also changed the first GY effect to not activate but instead just happen like Crystal Beasts. Soul Drain would be good because the last effects of these cards cannot be used, so the opponent is stuck with their restrictions.

BUMP!!!
