Earthraiser [Archetype]

[Messoras]

Hello there my fellow Custom Card nerds,

I've been doing Custom Cards for quite a while now and love playing them online via Duelingbook or against AI on Project Ignis. I have some friends who play competitive Yu-Gi-Oh with me and I'm looking forward to play with them using my selfmade cards. I'm currently working on artworks and final balance of my recent archetype Earthraiser, so I can finally print and create the cards. Before doing so, I'd like to share them with you guys and hear your thoughts about them.

The theme of the archetype is ace monsters of favourite official archetypes being possessed by fiendish demons. By their names: Abysshilde, Lumina, Stratos and Kageki. These four are the effect monsters, which can swarm the field and banish themselves from the GY and Tribute a monster to interrupt the opponent's plays. The two malevolent demons possessing them are Synchro Monsters which trigger effects upon being Tributed and return during the Standby Phases. The Xyz Monster is the ultimate combination of these two demons and can turn the game around once it is Tributed, by setting the GY up and spinning cards on the field. It can also revive a monster from GY as Quick Effect by banishing itself from the GY. Furthermore there are two Spell Cards helping to bring the cards on the field and managing the ressources, aswell as a Trap which can Tribute an opponent's monster as cost to get rid of huge boss monsters for the prize of a -1 card balance.

Here is a pure list of the cards for you guys to look at: Earthraiser (DB)

I also scripted the cards for Project Ignis to test the rulings and balance against AI, so if you are interested in playing them against AI or via Lan: Go ahead and put the attached zip file into your [Project Ignis]/expansions folder (do not unzip) and copy the decklist into the [Project Ignis]/deck folder or just create your own decklist.
To play Custom Cards online, both partners must have the expansion and play a Local Game (in the same network / via Hamachi).

I am a judge on Duelingbook and used to create scripts for the old YGOPro, so I think my cards shouldn't contain any errors, but if you find some, feel free to point them out.
Thanks in advance for any possible feedback.

Best regards,
Messoras

I'm really struggling with the Spoiler function right now, as I can't seem to edit the structure of the spoiler once it's been created and it somehow includes a double of both attached files, which I cannot remove. Seems like the website runs some weird version of CC. If anyone knows more, please tell me (or maybe create a Formatting Thread in Questions & Help).

Best regards,
