Wild West Archetype

[Ultimagamer]

This was a thing I inspired off of Bujins and the Magical Musketeers, with 1 guy whom you protect and attack with certain other firearms and weapons you can equip onto the dude. Please tell me what you think.

 

( if it looks different, it's because I placed it into google drive for easier editing )

I like the idea! I've always had a thing for wild west themes since that crash town arc in 5ds. But I think this archetype might struggle in the same way a lot of equip-based archetypes do, like Vylons, in that you have to run a lot of equip cards that can end up dead in the hand if you don't have the right circumstances or monsters on the field, plus it limits your ability to run traps, monsters, and other cards. Equips really have to do a lot to be worth it in the current game (see: moon mirror shield)

 

One major thing you'll have to worry about in having a deck based around one monster is the fact that you'll need to either search that monster consistently or have cards that can be treated as that monster. The other thing with Wayne here is that you have to control no cards to special summon it, which means if it's not in your opening hand or searched turn 1, it's dead until you leave yourself completely defenseless long enough to get it out. You might consider giving it simpler summon conditions, like "if your opponent controls a monster(s) and you control none, you can special summon this card (from your hand)", or "you can special summon this card (from your hand) if you control no monsters", etc. Something to leave room for defense. You might also consider adding some hand traps for versatility, to sort of fit the "quickdraw" theme of surprising your opponent? Just an idea.

good idea! Ill make sure to add some of those

- monsters whose name can take the name of "Rough'n Tough'n Cowboy Wayne" with a similar summoning condition, but different effects.

- changing the summoning condition to the original idea ( photon trasher style ) 

- adding "quickdraw" like cards, with the potential to interrupt the opponent's plays in the future

 

new cards

- Cowboy's Deputy - Andy

- Wild Arms - Quick Discharge

- Wild Arms - Protective Maneuver
