Element Colossus: flood out the opponent with their own Attributes [WRITTEN, AGM]

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples!

 

I... don't have much of an intro for this.  It was a really basic prompt, but one that seemed like it would be pretty cool to work with.

 

Archetype of Rock-Type monsters with different Attributes. Each one inhibits other monsters of the same Attribute in one form or another. Their Fusion monster inhibits monsters your opponent controls whose Attribute is the same as the Attribute of the Fusion Materials. Their Spell/Trap Cards all have Attribute manipulation, but it's not the meat of their effect(s).

 

I cannot say that the cards ended up being overly interesting, but it was fun trying to come up with different effects for each of them.

I wanted each Attribute to have 2 monsters in their arsenal.  This, unfortunately, makes the set huge, but on the plus side it does generously give the archetype a bit of leeway to work with.

"Element Colossus Julius" + 1 or more Rock monsters with different Attributes

Unaffected by the effects of monsters with the same Attribute as this card.  This card's Attributes becomes the same as the Attributes of its fusion materials.  Once while this card is face-up on the field (Quick Effect): you can negate the effects of all monsters your opponent controls with the same Attribute as this card.  If this card is in the Graveyard: you can tribute any number of "Element Colossus" monsters you control; Special Summon this monster, and if you do, it gains the Attributes of all the "Element Colossus" monsters tributed.  Also, banish it when it leaves the field.

3500/3000

 

 

I mean, yeah, this was kinda the obvious direction for a boss this archetype was heading towards.

 

[spoiler Spells/Traps]

Element Colossus Origin

Normal Spell

Target 1 monster your opponent controls; Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower "Element Colossus" from your Deck with the same Attribute as that target, but destroy it during the End Phase of the next turn.  You can only activate 1 "Element Colossus Origin" per turn.

 

Element Colossus Terrashifting

Trap

Target 1 monster on the field; all "Element Colossus" monsters on the field gain that target's Attributes.  Also, until the End Phase monsters with that Attribute cannot be destroyed by battle.  You can banish this card from your Graveyard (except the turn it was sent there) and target 1

 

Element Colossus Ensnarement

Trap

Change all monsters your opponent controls with an Attribute that is the same as an "Element Colossus" monster(s) you control to defense position.  Also, until the End Phase, the effects of monsters in defense position are negated.  During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: you can banish this card from your Graveyard and target 1 monster on the field; change that target's Attribute.

 

Element Colossus Fragmentation

Spell

Tribute 1 "Element Colossus" monster; Special Summon 2 monsters with different Attributes from your hand or Graveyard whose total levels are less than or equal the the level of the tributed monster.  During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card and 1 "Elemental Colossus" monster from your Graveyard; add 1 "Element Colossus" from your Graveyard to your hand.

 

Element Colossus Spirit Reflection

Trap

Target 1 monster you control; all monsters your opponent controls with a lower Level/Rank then that target's Level/Rank become the same Attribute as that target.  If that target battles a monster with the same Attribute: destroy the monster it is battling at the start of damage calculation.

 

Element Colossus Gem Heart

Element Colossus' Palette

Continuous Trap

Once per turn: you can target 1 monster on the field and declare 1 Attribute; that target becomes that Attribute.  If you control 5 or more different Attributes on your side of the field: you can send this card to the Graveyard; your opponent must send all cards they control to the Graveyard.

 

 

I'll be honest, the last 2 Element Colossi and all the spell/trap support were made today with the entire rest of the monster lineup made on another day.  With that said, I am not entirely sure I really gauged how they actually play off each other.  That said, the Spell/Traps are pretty all around useful for any deck type, so I cannot imagine that the Element Colossus monsters would just not want them.  *shrug*

 

 

So yeah.  Lots of words for an archetype that doesn't actively do too much in and of themselves.  Either way, I had fun making this.  As always, CnC much appreciated, though not required.

 

Cheers!
