Tinkerer Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hello, fine peoples! Your friendly neighborhood Tinkerer B. Melon here with a new super-ambitious archetype design. You remember all those sub-types that Konami made? You know: Flip, Toon, Spirit, Union, and Gemini? Over the past few days in my spare time I've been trying to design a single archetype that incorporates all those sub-types (labeled "Ability" on yugipedia) together. I had to make some concessions and bend a few of the hard limits on each of these abilities, but, I think I came up with a pretty solid archetype design. The archetype is going to end up quite large because on top of having at least 2 cards per ability (as well as 2 Normal monsters for good measure), I am also designing them with all the Extra Deck monster types. The effects are also pretty long because of all the conditions added to their abilities. Still, look through 'em if you want; I'd appreciate any feedback you can give! Without further ado, onto the cards! Monsters: Quote Qiconament LIGHT **** Wyrm/Normal/TunerWhen the Qi peoples die, they become one with this mythical dragon known as the Qicon. A spiritual being, the Qicon's will is dictated by the parliament of peoples that make up its form. 1000/1000 Reqiconament LIGHT **** Wyrm/NormalWhen the peoples who make up the Qicon decide to take action, there is nothing that stops this mythical dragon. 2000/0 Toon Qiconament LIGHT **** Wyrm/Toon/Tuner/Effect You can Tribute 1 Level 4 or lower monster to Special Summon this card from your hand.

Tinkerer Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Bump~ Added the last spell and put in the first few extra deck monsters. I'm not sure how much further I want to push this (especially since I already can't think of good names for the Extra Deck monsters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually put asterisks up to level 4, then use numerals with the asterisks once they are level 5 or higher. Do you have any thoughts on the archetype design?

MibeR Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think you should cut the Main Deck monster to a number that it can be optimized for a competitive deck builds, other than that. This is very interesting because you added some new mechanic to an existing effect exmple. Gemini/Flip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, under normal circumstances, I typically like to try to keep archetypes small and tight-knit. Given how I structured the theme of this archetype (2 monsters per ability), it kinda forced the archetype to be a bit bigger than average.
