Tempo Tempo Tempo! [WRITTEN] (6/6)

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples!

 

Mm.  Guess the music theme hasn't worn through me yet.  I think it's what I get for having music playing for probably 80% of my waking hours recently.

 

I decided to make a random set, and when I say random that's exactly what I mean.  I... barely had a plan for this when I started making them, but I fell in love with the theme as I moved forward.  Here are the notes I jotted to ground myself:

 

 

A Level 1 Tuner that can treat itself as a non-Tuner.  The Synchro requires 2 copies of itself.

 

Idea is to Synchro climb by continually using it over and over.

 

Basic prompt.  Prolly doesn't make sense since my shorthand is garbage, but the result ended up being Cardian levels of ridiculous (i.e. ridiculous in the best way).  Hope ya enjoy 'em!

I really love how these turned out.  They're silly and gimmicky and probably not feasible to play by actually laddering but dangit if it isn't silly to see a Level 1 do-nothing tuner become ridiculous.

 

This set could definitely do with play starters and whatnot, but I'll leave them as-is for now.

 

As always, CnC would be much appreciated!

 

Cheers!

Its pretty simple yet interesting concept of constant ladder plays using same tuner over and over again which each member easing up each step. Each evolution has its own utilities and most of them are generic plays to survive board and push the game so not much to be commented about

[Dova]

Should probably say "1 Tuner "Metro tempo" + 1 non-Tuner "Metro Tempo"" as thanks to XX-Saber Gottoms, Synchro Summons don't necessarily need Tuners and non-Tuners.

 

Nitpicks aside, it's a simple idea with sweet implementation. I don't like the lack of hard once per turn on the GY effects, as they are infinitely reusable, especially with the fact that these are Cyberse Level 1s making them very easy to Summon back. Unfortunately, this archetype would then lose what little playability it has, as as you say, it's not feasible to repeatedly bring back this monster from the hand. If only Firewall was still unbanned...

Right now it's either broken as hell or only casually viable...which seems to be what you wanted, so not much else to say there.
