Hollowed Angels [AGM, WRITTEN]

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples!
 

Kinda been a bit out of it for a while and wanted to just work on a prompt with the hope that the creative juices would start flowing.  Decided to take a gander at this prompt:

 

 

 

Hollowed Angel
Archetype of EARTH Fairy monsters that rely on having their effects negated to trigger their effects later on, either when they leave the field, or after the effect negation is removed from them (e.g. Skill Drain). To further complement this playstyle, they all have high stats for their levels, but their stats are dropped by their own effects, encouraging the player to negate them. Think of Barbaros in combination with Skill Drain or Forbidden Chalice, but for an entire archetype that also come with some floating effects, as well as effects with conditions on the line of "If this card's effects have been negated while it was on the field: [insert effect here]". Moreover, they don't rely on Special Summons, but still get tools to perform multiple Normal Summons in order to generate field presence, plus to remain compatible with lock Traps like "Lose 1 Turn". They also have some compatibility with not only EARTH Fairies, also EARTHs with the elemental types (Rock, Aqua, Pyro, Thunder) in order to allow for variants that, for instance, merge with Stun Rocks.

 

...and though I think I worked it out alright, I was pretty straightforward with what the prompt asked, not really taking as much creative liberty as I thought I might going in.  That said, it was still an interesting enough prompt and the result had enough interesting wordings and ideas that I'm kinda fine with how it turned out.  Sentiments aside, on to the cards:

100/100

 

 

Fairly straightforward with a stun playstyle since they have an ability to negate whatever as SS2.  Making Gaia was kinda necessary to fulfill a means to play the deck with any semblance of purity.

[spoiler=Spell/Traps]
Hollowed Angel's Sealing
Counter Trap
When your opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap or Monster on the field, target that card and 1 "Hollowed Angel" monster you control: negate their effects until the End Phase, then, you can destroy both cards. You can banish this card and 1 "Hollowed Angel" monster from your Graveyard; add 1 "Hollowed Angel's Sealing" from your Deck to your hand.

Hollowed Angel's Pressure
Counter Trap
When your opponent Summons a monster(s), target 1 "Hollowed Angel" monster you control; negate the effects of the target and the Summoned monster(s) until the End Phase, and if you do, those monster(s) lose ATK/DEF equal to the ATK or DEF of the target (whichever is higher). You can banish this card and 1 "Hollowed Angel" monster from your Graveyard; add 1 "Hollowed Angel's Pressure" from your Deck to your hand.

Hollowed Angel's Filling
Counter Trap
If your opponent would Special Summon a monster(s) from the Extra Deck while you control a monster(s) whose effects are negated: Special Summon the monster(s) to your side of the field instead, but their effects are negated. You can only use 1 "Hollowed Angel's Filling" per turn. You can target 1 banished "Hollowed Angel" card (except "Hollowed Angel's Filling") then banish this card from your Graveyard; return that target to the Graveyard.

Hollowed Angel Polymerization
Spell
Reveal 1 "Hollowed Angel" Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck. Special Summon any appropriate Fusion Materials for that revealed Fusion Monster in your hand, also target any monsters you control that are appropriate Fusion Materials for that revealed Fusion Monster, but negate their effects (max. 2). Fusion Summon the revealed "Hollowed Angel" Fusion Monster using the monsters whose effects were negated by this effect.

 

 

Fairies with a bunch of counter traps.  Bet no one's heard of that before!  In all seriousness, the traps supplement the playstyle by enabling SS3 negation while also giving more options for negating your own stuff to make plays.  Poly is meant to allow you to SS the materials (if any are in your hand), negate the effects of the Fusion Materials, then Fusion Summon with 'em (so that you can trigger the level 3s' grave effects if they're used), but the wording is probably woefully unclear.

[spoiler=Fusions]

So I made the monsters/spells/traps yesterday and these today and.. well, one could probably see my design direction shift in those two days (via the card names + effects).  Regardless, the Fusions enable a bit more direct effects and help you put monsters out on the board better while both Yondiels act as straight boss monsters which toss the theme out the window a bit for the capacity to be game-enders on their own.

Okie.  Pretty tired and don't got much else to say about these rn.  As always, CnC much appreciated.

 

Cheers!
