Atypical-Abbie Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Raindancer is an Archetype of Spellcaster & Thunder/WATER monsters. They focus on using Ritual Monsters and Fusion Monsters together, banishing, Level manipulation, heavy Spell use and search/draw power. They also have a sub-archetype called God of the Raindancers, which are the Fusion/Ritual Monsters, who all are Thunder, the others being Spellcaster. Each Main Deck monster has a Gouki-like effect that adds a Raindancer monster from your Deck to your hand, and also let's you draw if sent by a Spell effect, which of course works well with Ritual and Fusion Summons, and due to the heavy costs needed to bring both Ritual and Fusion Monsters out, having that extra draw can be very helpful. Their main playstyle revolves around using the two Spells Morning Fusion and Night Ritual, which brings out their Fusion and Ritual Monsters, and are able to search each other easily by banishing Fusion/Ritual Monsters, and as their monsters gain effects when banished, this can be worthwhile to set up further effects, especially as the Main Deck monsters gain those extra draws when you Fusion/Ritual Summon something. Having both a Ritual and Fusion Monster out is beneficial, and having a lot of high Level monsters out is also very helpful, since their effects are based on having as high Levels on the field as possible. Raindancers are based on well, rain dancing, and their general theming revolves around a kind of prayer to the rain gods. The God of the Raindancers are not based on anything, I simply made those names up to sound ancient and mysterious in nature.

Loleo Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is really great and the issue is funny. Correct me if I'm wrong but tributing a monster for a spell effect doesn't count as sending it to the GY by spell effect. I would make the ritual spells banish, and the field spell allow you to send them instead. Does that make sense? Even better, still change the field spell, but add the effect if they are tributed or sent to the GY by raindancer spell effect draw a card to all the monsters?

I am not sure why they wouldn't, the Tributing is part of the effect, it happens when the card resolves, not when it activates. I also don't know what you mean by making the Ritual Spells banish, they do already, unless you mean for the Ritual Summon, which I don't know why I would do, since that changes how the Main Deck monsters work.

Loleo Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Ignore everything I originally said. Instead I want to rework the field spell (or make a new card with this effect). Raindancer Sanctuary Field Spell Thunder monsters that leave the field are banished. If a Spellcasters you control is destroyed by an opponent's card (by battle or card effect) treat the destruction as if it was destroyed by a "Raindancer" spell. You can banish this card from the GY; return all banished "Raindancer" monsters to the GY. Maybe something more? I have other ideas this is really interesting!

I appreciate the idea, but that's not what I'm going for here, so I am keeping the card as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
