Sliver Archetype [AGM, WRITTEN]

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples!

 

Whew, it's been a good while since I've actually posted an archetype!  I've got so many partially complete things, but I can't seem to finish any of 'em... Anyway, enough of my creative woes and on to the archetype:

 

Sliver

Incredibly low-power (talkin less than 500 atk) Wyrm monsters that focus on card draw and swarm. However, they have a drawback: you can only summon Slivers and a certain DIVINE monster while you control one. Their best monster is Slifer Sliver, which nets you a Pot of Greed effect when tributed.

 

This is honestly one of the very few archetypes that I mentally designed exclusively for the AGM (Master Rule 3).  I don't know how much impact that actually had on the results, but it might be the reason certain things work the way they do.  I also removed the limit to only summoning "Slivers" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (mostly because it took a lot of space), but I'm unsure if that makes these cards too splashable in other decks.

 

I was also concerned about the fact that the only expressed win condition in the prompt was Slifer.  I made a few cards that forwarded that win condition, but I decided to add an extra deck with a more heavy control aspect as well.

Sliver of the Bound Creator

Continuous Spell

This card's name on the field becomes "Mound of the Bound Creator".  You can Normal Summon 1 DIVINE Monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set.  Once per turn: If you control "Sliver" monsters whose total Levels equal 10 or more, you can draw 1 card.  If this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent to the GY: You can banish this card; Tribute "Sliver" monsters from your hand or that you control whose total Levels equal 10 or more, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Slifer the Sky Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or GY, but return it to your hand during the End Phase.

 

 

 

One thing to note is that Exodia doesn't exist in the AGM card pool.  I understand that because it does in the irl card game, some of these cards would be too powerful in that context.

 

The way I designed these leaves the deck open for a continuous addition of "field spells".  If anything, I do plan to keep coming back to this to add more continuous spells, but the basic idea for 'em is as outlined above.

 

Anyways, any CnC for these would be greatly appreciated!

 

Cheers!
