I have an Alien Deck since a while, so i created a card to it.

So like the title says, its fun to play this Archtype. So suddenly i wanted to create support for it. Just one card for now, but i guess i will create more for that Archtype.

A-Cell-Alieninvasion

spell/Continuous

If an "Alien"monster is summoned, you can place 1 A-Counter on a monster on the field. "Alien"monster you control gain 300x ATK and DEF for each A-Counter on the field. If an "Alien"monster is destroyed, you can Special Summon one "Alien"monster from your deck or hand. You can only use this effect once per turn.

Tbh IDK how Aliens play nowadays so take this as a grain of salt, but if you could elaborate on what they do, I would appreciate it. That said, this looks rather passive to me. It got the potential of placing multiple A-Counters fast if Aliens are swarmy enough, but I got no clue on their swarming power, and the last effect is ok for insurance but looks slow because if I recall correctly, Aliens do not have a self-destruction playstyle nor enough floating effects to take advantage of that. If they do, then this card should be decent as an extender, but as said, IDK what Aliens actually do. Last time I checked, they were using Gol'gar's board bounce effect to re-Set and re-use Continuous floodgates and Traps.

I think this would be just the extra bit they would need to see more competitive play.

They revolve around A counters and are a link/Synchro archetype. They work to stun and slowly swarm.

Yeah, but how? As I said, last thing they were doing was floodgate stun with Gol'gar. But I remember there has been a bit of Reptile support every now and then and I no longer know what they do. For example, how do they swarm? What Links monsters do they use? I don't remember any Yuigtuber I follow doing a gameplay or test video with them to take as reference.

That helps. I'm not sure if the build it presents at the end with the Lair of Darkness goodstuffs is the most optimal, but it's a start.

Well, there is the damage=Reptile trapcard. I saw that card in a lot deckbuilts. So i thought a card extra for that archtype could be better. To that comes that the fieldspell of alien doesnt do a lot. So the ATK/DEF increase doesnt sound so bad for me. especially because the A-counters are a need. well...another option wpould be for sure, "if an "alien"monster is is send to the GY...".

For a pure "Alien" this support card wouldnt sound so bad. For sure there are other options and reptile cards to make it stronger...I will see what i will update and what kind of stuff i create to make it more playable for 2021.
