Bandit Keith's wetdream: New Zoa Cards (Written)

[The Old Charlelot]

Hey Everyone,

 

So, the other day, I was looking at old threads on this forum and I came across a post titled “Zoa – Forming an Archetype #33” by Zanziuma. I don’t know about you guys but I haven’t thought about Zoa, a very old level 7 Normal monster, in ages. As I read the article, I started to get inspired by what I was seeing. So I decided to try my hand at something new and present my own spin on that long forgotten archetype (if you can call it that).

 

So here are my ideas for the moment. Feel free to browse and let me know what you think.

 

Oh, and if you want to see the post that started this project, here is the link: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/366852-zoa-forming-an-archetype-33-1313/
