Tinkerer Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hello, fine peoples! I had a previous version of this, but when the site updated the old thread kinda broke, so I'm reposting it! This is a card thread, but it has a story alongside it. If you are interested in the story at all (and I really recommend it :D), you can check it out in the thread HERE. Anyways, before I jump into it, lemme just explain what this is. This is a group of five archetypes that are all tied together because they all have ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in their card text. I am using these "Drift" cards as the means to tie the archetypes together and they act as generically usable spells for all the archetypes. Because of how critical these are, I am just going to take this first week to just post those spells and then get into the real archetypes next week. Full disclosure: I am posting these in the Advanced section, because that's where I posted 'em last time. I thought that the power level was appropriate back then and for the first few archetypes I am probably going to post them with minimal changes. I have not actually played the game in any kind of serious setting in a long time, so if the archetypes seem under/overpowered please let me know! Without further ado, let's ride! Up the Beat! Quick-Play Spell (This card is always treated as a "Drift" Quick-Play Spell) Discard 1 card; add 1 "Drift" Quick-Play Spell (except "Up the Beat!") and 1 monster that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Up the Beat!" per turn. Full Яeversal Quick-Play Spell (This card is always treated as a "Drift" Quick-Play Spell) Discard 1 "Drift" Quick-Play Spell; draw 2 cards. Your opponent cannot activate cards in response to a "Drift" Quick-Play Spell's activation or effect for the rest of the turn. You can only activate 1 "Full Яeversal" per turn. Parallel Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target any number of monsters that list ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in their card text (min. 2). Move those targets to different Main Monster Zones on your side of the field and change their battle positions. If all your monsters are in the same battle position when this effect resolves, destroy a number of cards your opponent controls equal to the number of cards you targeted. Inertia Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target 1 monster you control that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text. Move it to an empty Main Monster Zone on your side of the field and change its battle position, also, it gains 1000 ATK and DEF until the End Phase of the next turn. If it changes into attack position during the Battle Phase, immediately after this effect resolves, that monster can declare an attack. Feint Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target 1 monster you control that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text. Move it to an empty Main Monster Zone on your side of the field and change its battle position, then you can move it to an empty Main Monster Zone on your side of the field and change its battle position. If you move the target twice by this effect, you can Special Summon 1 "Afterimage Drift Token" in the Zone the target first moved to. The token is treated as a monster that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text, also its Level, Type, Attribute, ATK and DEF are the same as the target, but it is destroyed during the End Phase. You can only activate 1 "Feint Drift" per turn. Superior Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target 1 monster you control that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text. Move it to an empty Main Monster Zone on your side of the field and change its battle position, then, negate the effects of all cards in the same column as the target. You can only activate 1 "Superior Drift" per turn. Apex Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target 1 monster you control that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text. Move it to an empty Main Monster Zone on your side of the field and change its battle position, then, activate the appropriate effect based on whose turn it is when this effect resolves: - Your turn: The monster can declare a second attack this turn. - Your opponent's turn: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the target's ATK. D.D. Drift Quick-Play Spell Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Target 1 monster you control that lists ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in its card text. Banish it until the next phase. When the card returns to the field, gain LP equal to its ATK, also, it can declare a direct attack during your next Battle Phase.

Common effect: Unaffected by the effects of cards that are not in the same column as them/can attack directly if the opponent does not control a monster in the same column. To be honest, the Galactic Flash was the original idea I'd had for this series when I first thought of this archetype: Monsters that'd use the Drift cards to dodge their opponent's effects and strike at the opponent directly by "drifting" around their defenses. I had to change up the original concept a bit for the purposes of lore, but they're still pretty functional in the way I'd intended. Special Drift - Galactic Rotation Quick-Play Spell (This card is also always treated as a "Galactic Flash" card) Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn.

If this card is Special Summoned, you can discard 1 "Drift" Quick-Play Spell: Add 1 monster with "Drift" Quick-Play Spell in its card text from your GY or face-up in your Extra Deck to your hand, and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to that monster's ATK until the End Phase. 3000/2500 Parallapex, Star Private of the Galactic Flash LIGHT 8* Scale: 3<>9 Machine/Pendulum/Effect PE: Monsters with ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in their card text gain 400 ATK.

Tinkerer Posted October 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 DESIGN NOTES: In my initial design notes for the Яeverse, I'd built them up as an "anti-drift" archetype - an abomination to the rest of the racing teams. In doing so, I used that as both a clue and a springboard for my designs: any card in any of the other archetypes that discarded a "Drift" card was really a Яeverse in disguise. Specifically, the three ones below were actually Яeverse monsters (see the story for an explanation). Ms. Erie > Яeverse Chassique King Orichalcum > Яeverse King Axel Sunstreak > Яeverse Cylincinder Another clue I'd given was that all the Яeverse cards had an "odd" total ATK/DEF value (i.e. if you add up their ATK and DEF, it would not divide evenly by 200). However, that was something I hadn't really emphasized at all. That said, now that you know, you can look through certain other character statlines and see if you can draw some realizations/connections. The other 2 main deck monsters besides Ignition and the Яeversed characters are meant to be the two other Яeverse racers that appear in the story. Their name scheme is supposed to emphasize their robotic nature over their racing nature and their effects are meant to be aspects of Ignition itself rather than being corrupted forms of other racers. Ignition is the core of the Яeverse, hence the protag stats (which I couldn't give to any other of the teams because of the aforementioned "odd" stat line).

Tinkerer Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Ok, this last one is a twofer: It has the last* of the racing archetypes and the follow-up post has some extra bit of support for the Яeverse. Link to the story HERE. ~~~ The Dimensional Speedstars are LIGHT Machines of varying levels. Storywise, they are a team comprised from the Blazing Wheels, Destiny Racers, and Galactic Flash to combat The Яeverse. They use bits of all the above archetypes' mechanics while running a mechanic involving Quick Effect Linking and Un-linking to press advantage. They also have a boss monster "Final Horizon" (Fusion) that negates the effects of all cards that aren't in the same column as itself. Special Drift - Space-time Transcendence Quick-Play Spell (This card is also always treated as a "Dimensional Speedstar" card) Can be activated from your hand during either player's turn. Banish 1 "Blazing Wheels" monster, 1 "Destiny Racer" monster and 1 "Galactic Flash" monster from your hand, side of the field, and/or GY; Special Summon 1 "DS - Final Horizon" from your Extra Deck.

If you activate this effect, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn except monsters that list ““Drift” Quick-Play Spell” in their card text. 1000/1800 Dimensional Speedstar - Prince of Destiny LIGHT * Machine/Effect (This card is also always treated as a “Destiny Racer” monster) When this card is Special Summoned: Excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck; add 1 “Drift” Quick-Play Spell or 1 monster that lists ““Drift” Quick-Play Spell” in its card text from among them to your hand, then send the rest to the GY.

Tinkerer Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 ...and here are the final Яeverse cards: Яeversal Ignition - The Influencing Mechanoid DARK Links: SW N SE Machine/Link/Effect 2+ monsters that have ""Drift" Quick-Play Spell" in their card text This card’s name is treated as “Ignition - Mechanoid of the Яeverse” while on the field or in the GY. Monsters that are used as Link Material for this card are treated as though they were destroyed by battle with an opponent’s monster. Once per turn, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls then either: Destroy 2 cards in your hand or you control, OR: Discard 1 “Drift” Quick-Play Spell; negate that target’s effects, then Special Summon 1 “Яeverse Token” with the same type, Attribute, ATK and DEF, as that target, also, if the token is destroyed, destroy the monster.

Tinkerer Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 ...and for completionist reasons, I might as well toss this last card here. Read the story to understand how this fits in! Blazing Wheels NX - Captain Young FIRE **** Scale: 2<>6 Machine/Pendulum/Effect PE: If a “Drift” Quick-Play Spell targets a monster you control, you can Special Summon this card, and if you do, add the “Drift” Quick-Play Spell to your hand instead of sending it to the GY, but you cannot activate cards with the same name as the added card for the rest of the turn. If Special Summoned this way, all “Blazing Wheels” monsters you control gain 300 ATK. ME: If this card’s battle position is changed by the effect of a “Drift” Quick-Play Spell, gain 200 LP for each “Blazing Wheels” monster you control, then if you gain more than 500 LP by this effect, you can target 1 monster you control: It’s ATK becomes the combined original ATK of all monsters you control until the End Phase, but any battle damage it inflicts is halved. 1600/800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
