(CaC Archetype) Unshackled Archetype

[Phelphor, of the Deep]

An archetype focused around shuffling the opponent's deck while benefiting off of it. This also discourages the opponent wanting to search the deck.


A common effect most if not all will share within the archetype: If your opponent would shuffle their Deck or if this card is Summoned: You can do blah. If your opponent would shuffle their Deck while all face-up monsters you control are "Unshackled" monsters (min. 1) except the turn this card was Summoned: you can do blah. You can only activate each effect of "Unshackled blah" once per turn.

More to come. What do you guys think of it, so far?

[Dokutah]

Forgotten: nice field. Search on activation & +0 each turn. Not really agree with 500 boost though since most of the monster stat is not shabby enough for such huge boost

 

Omen: i assume this summon from anywhere but Deck. Which is crazy given it was cost-less and has ability to reoccur it self. I think you need extra cost or penalty like summon in Defense or whatever

 

Return: self-recycling recycle. gladly it didn't return the best spell. not much but its fine i guess

 

Chant: Double search seems too much dont you think? Banish effect is random but there no denying that it was strong

 

Soo the monsters trigger wherever deck is shuffled by any means. which can be from adding cards to deck OR taking or Special Summoning something from it. former rarely triggered now days but the latter is quite popular. neat idea for sure

 

Ob: im starting to think this archetype consistency could be overboard by having too many search card (including that double search) even if opponent reliant since the "opponent reliant" part happen to be a way common action that could occur this game. HOPT do kept it in check i guess.... that non-target send is also quite powerful

 

Oskar: standart S/T removal. kinda fine

 

Oz: kinda weak. but not necessary need fixing. but yes this benefit your opponent more than you should with grave effects

 

Omi: highly disagree with this given how counteractive Face-down Banish is

 

Omar: forcing shuffling (with another Face down banish as penalty), Link Mat generator, and anti-GY. this started too dull me. way oppresive IMO

 

O'neil: surprisingly weaker than Omar. since the brainwash effect is actually not fast enough for any other merit (kinda thank god for that).

Only when opponent shuffles their deck.

Ok so I will edit the stat boost

 

Omen: i assume this summon from anywhere but Deck. Which is crazy given it was cost-less and has ability to reoccur it self. I think you need extra cost or penalty like summon in Defense or whatever

I goof when writing the effect. edit according.

 

Return: self-recycling recycle. gladly it didn't return the best spell. not much but its fine i guess

Thanks

Its lots of consistency. may add a restriction.

Adding new card to make the "opponent reliant" thing less worrisome.

 

Oskar: standart S/T removal. kinda fine

Yeah and there is a monster removal too.

 

Oz: kinda weak. but not necessary need fixing. but yes this benefit your opponent more than you should with grave effects.

Fix to instead of send to shuffle. and added burn effect.

 

Omi: highly disagree with this given how counteractive Face-down Banish is

Face-up banishment, ok?

 

Omar: forcing shuffling (with another Face down banish as penalty), Link Mat generator, and anti-GY. this started too dull me. way oppresive IMO

lower to 3.

 

O'neil: surprisingly weaker than Omar. since the brainwash effect is actually not fast enough for any other merit (kinda thank god for that).

maybe 2 or more?
