set card design Make Legacy Support

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Now, I know this sounds redundant, but hear me out.
Instead of just making ONE card, in here, I want at least 2 Main Deck monsters, at least 1 Extra Deck monster, and at least 1 Spell/Trap Card.

Other than those stipulations, make as many cards as you want.

Also, this will have an emphasis on LEGACY support. No archetypes, serieses, or character decks from the VRAINS era. Only ARC-V and before.
On that note, I'm giving this an additional gimmick.

Each person suggests TWO serieses, archetypes, and/or characters that they want support for.
To start us off, how about one of my favorite YGO waifus?

Next Selection:
Anime Akiza (focuses on Synchro Summoning using Plants, as well as field manipulation)
OR
Manga Akiza (focuses on high-level Plants and getting them out easier)

Target 1 "Valkyrie" monster you control; it gains 500 ATK for each different name among all currently banished monsters, but its ATK becomes 0 during the End Phase. If you would take battle damage from a battle involving a "Valkyri" monster you control, you can banish this card and 1 "Valkyrie" monster from your GY instead. You can only use each effect of "Rainbow Bridge Bifrost" once per turn.

 

 

 

Nibelung's Ring

Equip Spell Card

 

Lore: You can only control 1 "Nibelung's Ring". The equipped monster cannot attack, be Tributed, or change its battle position, also it cannot activate its effects. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase of the equipped monster's controller: They can draw 1 card and reveal it, and if it is a monster, they must discard it immediately.

 

 

 

Mourning on the Rhine

Normal Trap Card

 

Lore: When you control a "Rhinemaiden" monster: Draw 3 cards, and if you do, discard 2 cards or banish 1 "Valkyrie" or "Rhinemaiden" card from your hand. If you control "The Rhinegold", but have no other cards in your hand, you can activate this card from your hand. You can only activate 1 "Mourning on the Rhine" per turn.

 

 

 

Loge's Flame

Continuous Trap Card

 

Lore: (This card is always treated as a "Valkyrie" card.)

Your opponent's monsters on the field with 2000 or less ATK cannot attack. When a monster is targeted for an attack, before damage calculation: Destroy this card. When this face-up card in the Spell & Trap Zone is destroyed by a card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 6 or 7 Fairy monster from your Deck. You can only activate 1 "Loge's Flame" per turn.

 

 

Decided to elaborate on the Der Ring des Nibelungen tale a bit more to give Valkyries that extra push. Rhinemaiden three are all the girls that Alberich stole the gold from to make that ring of his - btw, the Nibelung Ring is now GOLD as well and so is it's Treasure, now renamed Curse to more align with what happened upon Alberich's treachery being found out. 

 

Bifrost and Loge's Flame were the other old cards made new by this update to the Valkyrie playstyle (former is their Limiter Removal, latter protects against the odd Eater of Millions/Knightmare)

 

Then I followed up with a glorified Graceful Charity Mourning on the Rhine, to more bring together the tragedy in Act I of Der Ring.

 

Freiya's the entity that provides the gods in that tale with their immortality through the Golden Apples-naturally, its a given that she herself would be able to have them come to her aid. Rhinegold's the new Field Spell that works like a quasi-Trickstar Lightstage and Metaphys Factor all in one. 

 

And finally, Fury of the Valkyries handles the Valkyrie's piss-poor ATK values by knocking down the other monster's values to their Level-have fun with all that.

 

NEXT UP: I'm feeling in the mood to relive a bit of Cats vs. Dogs, aren't you all? Support either...

Next Set:
Super Quants (a card set that was pretty cool, but needs new support)
OR
Nephthys (a card set that got new support, but said support was ultimately rather lackluster)

[AkibaSilver]

Super Quantum Yellow Layer

LIGHT | Level 2 | Thunder | Effect

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target 1 "Super Quant" card with a level, except "Super Quantum Yellow Layer"; this card's level becomes equal to the targeted monster's level.

(This Special Summon counts as an Xyz Summon.)

800/2600

 

Super Quantum Black Layer

DARK | Level 6 | Machine | Effect

If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target 1 monster that has been banished; Special Summon it. You can only activate this effect of "Super Quantum Black Layer" once per turn. If this card is sent to the GY: Banish it.

Super Quantal Battle Riser

If this card is in the GY: You can add this card to your deck, then target 1 "Super Quantal" monster you control; Special Summon from your hand 1 "Super Quantum" monster from your hand with a different Attribute to the targeted monster.

 

Alright, so, quick run down of what these are all based on: Electrodactyl is the Dino Thunder Pterodactyl, Paleologic is the Megaforce Snake, which would make "Yellow Layer" Dino Thunder Yellow/AbareYellow and "Black Layer" Megaforce Black / Gosei Black (Can't believe I'm using Megaforce, but oh well~). Escalation is pretty obvious, and Battle Riser is vaguely a Battleizer. A retrain of "Great Magnus" might be useful, but I might cook that up at a later time.

 

NEXT: Two anime archetypes here that probably shouldn't work, ever, but some people round here like challenges

Banner's Alchemy Beasts: Find a way to make these workable, and you're a genius

 

OR

 

Solomon Mutou's Ancient monsters, from that filler arc in the OG anime.

DARK - Link 1 - Reptile/Link/Effect - 2000 ATK - S

1 "Earthbound" monster, except "Earthbound Titan Katari"

When this card is Link Summoned: You can activate 1 "Earthbound Prison" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Field Spell Cards you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. Your opponent cannot select this card as an attack target. While this card points to an "Earthbound Immortal" monster, this card and that monster are unaffected by, and cannot be targeted by, your opponent's card effects.

 

Earthbound Designator

DARK - Level 4 - Warrior/Effect - 1400/0

If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Earthbound" card from your Deck to your hand. If this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Earthbound" monster from your hand or Graveyard. While you control a Field Spell Card, you can draw 1 card during your opponent's Draw Phase.

 

Earthbound Phantom

DARK - Level 3 - Fiend/Effect - 1600/800

This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for a Tribute Summon. During the turn this card is Normal Summoned, you can Normal Summon 1 additional "Earthbound" monster, except "Earthbound Phantom" (you can only apply this effect of "Earthbound Phantom" once per turn). If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Earthbound" Spell/Trap Card from your Graveyard to your hand.

 

Earthbound Prison

Field Spell

Cannot be destroyed by card effects. While you control a face-up "Earthbound Immortal" monster, if your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) from their Extra Deck: You can banish 1 other random card from your opponent's Extra Deck. You can Special Summon 1 "Earthbound" monster from your hand or Graveyard (you can only activate this effect of this card's name once per turn).

 

Earthbound Release

Continuous Trap

If a DARK monster is Normal Summoned: You can place 1 Earthbound Counter on this card. Once per turn, you can remove any number of Earthbound Counters from this card: Special Summon a number of "Ceremonial Tokens" (EARTH/Level 1/Rock-Type/ATK 0/DEF 0) equal to the number of Counters removed. "Ceremonial Tokens" cannot be used as Link or Synchro Material. While you control this face-up card and a Field Spell Card, Level 10 DARK monsters you control cannot be Tributed.

 

Not good, but definitely much closer to playable. A tolerable play, in this circumstance, can be made with Phantom and Designator in your opening hand: You can Link Summon Katari to activate Prison from Deck, and slap your Immortal of choice on board. Then, if you didn't have to search the Immortal, you can have Release ready to make your board Kaiju-resistant.

Crystal Beast?

(This card's name is always treated as "Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle".)
If this card is treated as a Continuous Spell Card by this effect, during your Main Phase: You can Special Summon this card from your Spell & Trap Zone. You can only Special Summon "Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle" once per turn this way.

(This card's name is always treated as "Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth".)
