Wingbrace Archetype (14/14) - Help Is Coming

[Atypical-Abbie]

Wingbrace is an Archetype of Dinosaur/WIND monsters with various Levels, though primarily Level 4. They focus on equipping monsters to themselves, Link and Xyz Monster strategies, and have a lot of ATK/DEF, but each monster cannot attack without having a monster equipped first. Try some support cards like Clock Wyvern, Harpie Dancer & Reborn Tengu

They are based on dinosaurs, and I was gonna call them Dinosore at first, though I liked this name better, as it plays into the theme of them being powerful but needing some support as they have illness and health problems, like Breakback, as well as extinction stuff like meteors, earthquakes etc., therefore the "brace" part, which also works with the Attribute as you "brace for impact".

So, I like the idea behind the archetype but there aren’t many ways to actually equip monsters to the Ones on the field. This is a big problem since ALL of them need to be equipped with a Windbrace card to attack. The cards that do let you equip monsters are really good though and I like the fact that the deck can be used with any other wind deck. Overall good deck but I think you overlooked the gimmick a little bit when making the archetype, not as bad as Reptilians though since they can’t even really pull off their gimmick. Good deck with serious potential!

In practice, equipping is fairly easy, as any of the monsters being Summoned can turn into Quakequeasy that then can turn into Sicktsunami which equips from the Deck, which allows you to get any of the monsters, so you can easily get the exact one you're looking for. They are meant to build up towards Meteormedic, which can attack up to three times with Crutches

Sorry, that’s my bad, I didn’t realize quakequeasy was link 1 so nevermind. Good deck :)

I updated Scalesnapper and Crutches, now it's a Quick Effect that SS any equipped, not just its own, and Crutches now can equip itself from the GY as well, but with a hard OPT clause.

I went back and added images to these and plan to do it for more of mine, since most are without images because I found it hard to find good ones, but well I just decided I'm gonna take what I can, as it makes it a lot easier to play when you can spot cards by the image instead of having to hover over them all the time.
