Jurassic World - Forming an Archetype #35 (17/17)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Jurassic World is an Archetype of EARTH, FIRE and WATER Dinosaur monster with various Levels. The Level 4s have 1500 ATK and DEF while the Levels 5 have 2000 ATK and DEF. They focus around using Field Spells, and have 3 Field Spells that treat themselves like Jurassic World, boost the ATK and DEF of all Dinosaurs by 200, and all Dinosaurs of either the EARTH, FIRE or WATER Attribute by 500 ATK and DEF, and have an effect that discards a Jurassic World card for various effects and an effect that activates when it's destroyed by a card effect that searches either a Jurassic World monster or depending on the card, Destroyersaurus, Volcanic Eruption or any Jurassic World Spells/Traps.

 

Each monster, excluding Brachiosaurus, can be Special Summoned from your hand when you activate the Field Spell that is appropriate to that Attribute, for example: Allosaurus is EARTH, so it has Jungle. They have various other effects as well. Their main strategy is focused around getting out Brachiosaurus, that treats itself as all the three Attributes, and becomes a powerful 4000 ATK monster with one of the Field Spells out. You bring it out if 3 or more Dinosaurs with the three different Attributes were destroyed that turn, which is mainly done by using Volcanic Eruption, but you don't necessarily have to use that card to do so, as it counts up other ways it was done that turn.

 

Again, I chose a card which has cards already for it, but as I can easily see Konami giving this an upgrade themselves at some point, I don't mind it already having support. These are of course based around dinosaurs from the Jurassic period, and the Field Spells are based around the locations you see in the original Field Spell.

I understand that Dinosaurs already have self-destruction, but I don't think it's prevalent enough to have this archetype revolve so much about, particularly your Level 11 boss. There's certainly very little of it in-archetype. 

 

Jungle's name changing effect seems a little redundant, considering all of the Field Spells are already treated as Jurassic World while face-up on the field, and the only support card that need Jurassic World to be in your Deck is that one discard searcher in the TCG/OCG. I really hope it just wasn't made for that XD At least it has the activation protection, but it doesn't really protect against well-timed Cosmic Cyclone or other such quick effects. 

 

I would comment on the monsters reliance on specific field Spell activations for their SSs seeming at odds with the fact that there's not very much searching outside of on-destruction, again which the archetype doesn't really dabble in, and the fact that really, you're not spamming out Field Spells. The impression I got from this set is that you'd have about 1 or 2 a turn, but the monsters give the impression of a constantly shifting battleground. I mean, at the moment the archetype works, as with your lower levels you can just NS them, but the reliance on consistency without much actual searching means it's not as fast as it could be.

 

Not much to say in regards to flavour. Generic dinos; at least you're expanding the old card, but this feels more like an inserted archetype, rather than an expanded one, if that makes any sense. Not one of your best sets, imo.

 

Also, what's this "Forming an Archetype" thing?

Destroyersaurus is of course meant to work with Jungle, but both Archaeopteryx and Dakosaurus are able to use it, the first can activate it from the Deck and GY and the second can copy one of the other Fields to become Jurassic World for various purposes. I plan to do more around this in the future as well.

 

I can see that they rely on the Field Spells to get them out, but I also think they have plenty of other ways to get themselves out that it's more than possible. Furthermore, they don't NEED to get out the boss monster, they can use the Field Spells' boost with the Level 5s to get respectable ATK as well.

 

I figured that Forming an Archetype explained itself, I simply take a real card and make an Archetype around it.

A mistake I spotted:

Quick Effects are reserved for monsters. If you want spell speed 2 on Spell/Traps, you should use the "During either player's turn" clause.

Quoting the wikia:

"...is a type of monster effect that is Spell Speed 2..."

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Quick_Effect

 

And even then, I'm unsure about putting spell speed 2 effects on Field Spells, which mechanically are Spell speed 1. Although there is Rainbow Ruins as precedence, it has not got any update on its text, and it can be seen as the big exception since so far it's the only Field Spell with a spell speed 2 effect.

 

That aside, the entire set looks bland, IMO. It's just cookie-cutter effects and destruction, and yet I don't see that they can even synergize with the dino babies. Heck, you can even shortcut into the boss through Double Evolution Pill and outright skip its Summoning requirements. Really, the only thing personally I find interesting about this set is the Volcano and the support for "Volcanic Eruption".

 You forgot to fix the thing about the (Quick Effect) clauses in Field Spells.

 

Also, just noticed Stegosaurus will work from your own destruction effects. Some cards looks good enough, after all. I lean towards a variant focused on Volcano and Eruption.
