A Dragon That Will Bring True Destruction! ( Level 12 Normal Monster Archetype )

[Ultimagamer]

This was an archetype I thought of based around the concept of the Blue-Eyes strategy but making it a bit stronger. Quite literally. The deck is based around a normal monster, but rather than it being a Level 8 one, it goes a bit higher than that, Level 12! 

To keep the power in check though, even though the main boss monster is a level 12, he does have a clause stating he must be normal summoned or set with 3 tributes ( even though he is a normal monster ). 

 

This is now a more updated version, with more cards added in. I will be updating in the future. If you have any ideas, please leave your thoughts below :D

To be fair though, if you want the boss to be summoned with 3 Tributes and keep it as a vanilla, you unfortunately do have to make it an Effect Monster with this condition. (But you can also just give it a clause that treats it as a Normal Monster everywhere, so you technically don't lose the idea.)

 

By now, you know that CnC is always italicized and in another color.

 

This was an archetype I thought of based around the concept of the Blue-Eyes strategy but making it a bit stronger. Quite literally. The deck is based around a normal monster, but rather than it being a Level 8 one, it goes a bit higher than that, Level 12! 

To keep the power in check though, even though the main boss monster is a level 12, he does have a clause stating he must be normal summoned or set with 3 tributes ( even though he is a normal monster ). 

 

This is just the starting point, I will be updating in the future. If you have any ideas, please leave your thoughts below :D 

 

Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms

Level 12 / Dark / Dragon / Normal

4000 attack / 4000 defense

 

( Even though this card is Level 8 or higher, it must be Normal Summoned/Set with 3 tributes ).

The true emperor of all dragons. He was prophesied to come back from a long slumber to bring ruin to the living worlds. His anger causes his foes to tremble, and his might is feared among all.

 

See above. But with the support cards in mind, you're really not going to Tribute Summon this much otherwise.

 

Summoner of the End

Level 1 / Dark / Spellcaster / Effect

0 attack / 0 defense

 

You can tribute this card; Special Summon 1 “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” from your hand. If this card is in your GY: you can banish 3 Level 1 DARK Spellcaster-Type Monsters with different names from your GY; Special Summon 1 “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” from your Deck or GY.

 

This is basically "enable the Level 12" boss from anywhere. Not that it's a bad thing, though in conjunction with the next card, you still get a 4000 ATK beater for fairly minimal effort (even if the boss doesn't really do much besides being a big body). Besides the "of the End" stuff, there are other things you can banish to summon the boss, but not worth running.

 

Prophesier of the End

Level 1 / Dark / Spellcaster / Effect

0 attack / 0 defense

 

When this card is Normal Summoned: you can add 1 “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” from your Deck to your hand. If this card is in your GY: you can banish this card from your GY, and target 1 “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” in your GY; add that target to your hand, then draw 1 card.

 

This + Summoner essentially equal free 4K beater (well, not really, considering you still have to Tribute Summoner). Other than that, card is fine for now.

 

Defender of the End

Level 1 / Dark / Spellcaster / Effect

0 attack / 0 defense

 

FLIP: This card cannot be destroyed by battle while it is face-up on the field.

If this face-down card would be affected by a card effect, you can reveal this card to your opponent to prevent that effect from affecting this card. If a “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” you control is targeted by a card or effect while this card is in your GY: you can banish this card from your GY; negate that card or effect, then destroy that card.

 

Card is generally tame enough as it currently is. FLIP and first effects aren't really doing much, except maybe keeping itself as Tribute fodder for the big boss if you can't summon it via the other two. I would probably just have its protection effect for the boss apply while it's on field too; not just while it's in GY. Like I noted above, you're probably SSing the boss with Summoner and not Tributing. Would make its "battle immunity" worth something more than Tribute fodder.

 

The Coming of the End

Spell - Normal

 

Send 1 “Drago-Pocolypse, the True Dragon Emperor of the Living Realms” from your Deck to your GY to add 1 “of the End” DARK Spellcaster-Type Monster from your Deck to your hand.

 

 

This one is fine. 

 

As an overall thing, unlike stuff like Spiral Serpent, you don't really have anything to make the boss worthwhile aside Defender's protection effect (well, least no backrow support). Like I noted above, you can't put the Tribute condition on a Normal Monster (only archetype ones that got their names from pre-arch eras). Moreover, given Summoner, you'll probably not summoning this via Tributes (even using Darkness Metal is a faster way to summon it for free).

 

The idea sounds okay in theory, but in practice, it's really just a big beatstick and by now, you know about effect removal and whatnot being very common. The supports help, but you need to do more. You could make more "of the End" Main Deck that can facilitate summoning more of them quickly, then providing Tribute fodder. I know you said that more's coming, but here's stuff you can add for the next one. (Then again, I'm not going to harp about the BEWD thing being broken because it's only a fan convention due to Kaiba; that really has no bearing in card design.)

(Hopefully you actually see this...)

 

Don't worry, I did ;3 

 

I wasn't trying to say blue-eyes is a broken set of cards. I did want to keep the power creep in check a bit, making sure than blue-eyes white dragon still has a spot as a 2 tribute 3000 attack, while this card can take the spot for a 3 tribute 4000 attack. 

 

I somehow want it to require 3 tributes, but be a normal monster so it can have flavor text >:( 

ah well, I'll leave both in for now. 

 

I've created some more of the end monsters that support summoning Drago-Pocolypse ( tributing or special summoning ) as well as some more spell/trap card support, along with a Great Magnus like boss monster, hard to summon, game winning when you do.
