Night's End - Forming an Archetype #45 (14/14) - From Dusk Till Dawn

[Atypical-Abbie]

Night's End is an archetype of Spellcaster DARK & LIGHT monsters with various Levels. They focus on banishing cards from your opponent's GY and Synchro Summoning. They focus on the card Night's End Sorcerer, as it is used for their 2 of their Synchro Monsters, and other cards are able to become that card's name. Additionally the card Night's End Dawn is able to produce Dawn Counters for various effects and many cards like having a Field Spell on the field.

The theme is based on the moon, as that is featured in the original artwork, and I thought there was something you could do there, with werewolves, day and night, moon and sun, light and dark, and since there are actually 2 cards this time, something unusual for Forming an Archetype, they almost had the starting of a theme already, so this one I can see getting a fully archetype one day, but still wanted to make something for them, as I think the artwork is pretty great, even if the original Tuner doesn't do too much.

This is a super cool way to tie "Night's End" together. With everything that's happening here I wish I say a few more payoffs. Nights End Abomination feels like the only one to take a big benefit from all the banished cards your opponent has.

It's not so much about the amount banished rather than the act of banishing itself I wanted focus on, thus cards like Unleashed cares about different kinds of cards rather than a lot of cards, Nightmare's End wants 3 banished, though Dawn cares about a lot of banishing.

[Atypical-Abbie]

I made a bunch of changes, too many to go over, but also added 2 new cards, Sunstress & Eclipse, a Level 2 Effect Monster and a Level 4 Synchro Monster

[Loleo]

Now I want to see rank 2-10 Xyz monsters (evens)! You gave them some really powerful Xyz synergy with Sunstress. Sunstress is really powerful in general.

The synchro can generically activate a field spell! kinda cool. Help ties together plays and essentially requires Sunstress.
