Ultimagamer Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is a series of cards that I thought of based around the idea of a simple yet very powerful swarming technique. This is kept in check by having any face-up card in the archetype restrict itself down to the archetype. Every single monster in the archetype can special summon itself, allowing for a lot of swarming and comeback potential. The spells allow for good consistency, and even some spectacular advantage gain during your opponent's turn. The traps allow for you to interrupt your opponent in simple yet quite effective ways. One theme you'll notice throughout the spells and traps is that quite a few of them do things in 3s. This isn't by coincidence, but a little reference to the movie that inspired me to make this archetype: Disney's the Three Musketeers! ( Name changed from "Royale" to "Royal", admittedly I'm not too good at french ). ( Names were changed for the main deck monsters, using names from the movie / story now ) Any kind of review would be greatly appreciated!

Doigt Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello, I think the idea is great! Love the theme as it's based on a movie based on one of my favourite books. I noticed several typos about your usage of French and if you don't mind, I offer here the corrections. Royale -> Royal"Royale" is for feminine subjects only, use "Royal" when referring to male or neutral subjects, such as musketeers, which were historically all males. Royale -> Royaux"Royale" and "Royal" cannot be used when there is more than one subject. Use "Royaux" for plurals. Francois -> FrançoisThe c should have a cedilla, it's what makes the difference being pronounced frankwa and franswa. Charles -> CharleIn French, Charles isn't spelled with an s at the end of the name. Btw, I noticed you made up random French names instead of using the movie ones. Perhaps you'd be interested in using the original source material names? They sound much more badass and I think you'll agree, however this is only a suggestion: Athos, Porthos, Aramis, d'Artagnan and Tréville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, those names also do appear on the hat that Mickey has, autographed by the Musketeers. ( Admittedly, I'm not too good at french, having english as a first language and learning some latin in high school, so having the help there is definitely nice. Does there happen to be a 6th musketeer I could use for a name? That would be ideal. If not, maybe I could name one of them Mickey, or something along those lines.

Doigt Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Well, to be honest, d'Artagnan isn't a musketeer until well into the story and Tréville is a minor character; he's the leader of the whole musketeer regiment. Though, I noticed you kept Louis and I think it's fitting since it's the name of the king and the king had this rivalry thing with the Cardinal in the story. Each time one of the Cardinal's guard lost a duel to a musketeer, he'd "secretly" rejoice and vice versa with the cardinal (even though they're both on the "same side"). Also, during the war, the musketeer regiment only moved when the king was ready to move personally to the battlefield.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
