The DOMESTICA ARCHETYPE: Updates!

[TheDeckmaker]

Hello YCM. I have been working on this archetype and playtesting it on dueling book to ensure that it is balanced. I fixed some of the cards' PSCT and added new concepts to the deck and more Fusion Monsters, and even created a sample deck this time. I admit I have been distracted due to other archetypes I have stored in my head; but heres what we got for now:

 

LORE

 

The Fairies of the Woodlands loved the magical creatures that resided in it very much. However, it hurt them to see that over time they became feral and would constantly hurt and kill each other. The God Turtle would always hide in his shell as the Dragons wrecked havoc around the forest. The Rabbits always burrowed and hid with the fluffy foxes as things like this occurred. Creatures feasted on one another for meat  even if they did not need to. This would constantly happen until the top fairy: The Creator, decided it was time for a change. Hence, with the magic embedded within them, the fairies created a safe haven for the beloved creatures, were there was no fighting and feral instincts, were only peace existed and lovely greens. They created the Domestic Underworld or as they called it: The Magical Lands of DOMESTICA. They would tame the creatures treating them with love and kindness and take them to Domestica were they would live in peace and harmony. In Domestica there are only 2 rules for these creatures: Love one another, AND only one creature leaves the Underworld at a time and only when sent on a Task.

 

Welcome to the land of Domestica  

The deck specializes on Fusion Summoning. Nothing too major except for the mechanic that makes this archetype very special: They can set themselves in the Spell/Trap Zone and activate effects like traps! This is the bread and butter of the deck and makes the Fusion Monsters almost impossible to target. They have the ability to storm the board during the Battle Phase with the continuous trap card. They mostly Fusion Summon by dropping Monsters from the deck or hand in the GY to use as material. Usually you would want to use the Field Spell to Fusion Summon because it is a really good recycler of Monsters.

DUELING BOOK

Deck Sample: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=11065868

 

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Loleo]

I think this is pretty awesome! Got some wonderful additions to this forest!

(Rabbit doesn't have the aforementioned fixes)

1. I think the S/T zone is going to get pretty clogged.

2. The summoning restriction is harsh

3. The deck feels pretty uninteractive.

Fixes:

1. The level 5 main deck monsters set themselves and each have an additional quick effect triggered by tributing set cards.

2. Fix rabbit (Already told you how)

3. Change the summoning condition to be "If you would control less monsters than your opponent" and only during your MP1 for the fusions.

4. Have more effects that send set cards from your S/T zone to the GY as cost.

General Stuff:

1. For the main deck level 5 monsters: "If your opponent controls more monsters than you do or you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). You can only Special Summon 'x' once per turn this way."

2. Domestication should add "Domestic Fusion" from GY if you sent at least 1 "Domestica" card from the deck to the GY by its effect.

3. Domestic Fusion should specify it can set the monster from your GY.

4. Change should do something each time you Special Summon a "Domestica" monster like force your opponent to return a card they control to their hand.

5. All the Traps should be Continuous and HOPT.

6. Because of taming if you reveal any set monster in your S/T zone you should be able to Special Summon it. (If a non "Domestica" monster is revealed in your S/T zone by the effect of a "Domestica" card you control: You can Special Summon it.

 

The turtle isn't OP but just a real nuisance and unfun.

 

All and all love it!

@Loleo Thanks as always. You give great ideas and recommendations. Here's my take:

1. I actually thought I fixed rabbit. I put the level limit on the card to Level 5 and lower so it wouldn't have the pleasure of straight up copying the effects of op effect monsters. But if that doesn't seem to be enough, no problem.

2. The Spell/Trap Zones being clogged is very true. That is why I refrained from making Change, Taming continuous. underworld is intended to be continuous. That was a mistake on my part when recreating the card. If the other traps were continuous, they would take up space that the Fusions could take. I could find a work-around for this problem though.

3. Ah, and yes the summoning condition. It's not that bad. Trust me. I play-tested it, and the deck operates in a way that you can set up your board with a clear field. Maybe I should put up some replays from dueling book so you see what I am referring to hopefully. The Summoning condition does has its downsides. It's downside is not the fact that it hinders itself when it comes to setting up your board, but it runs into problems when you try to bring in other archetypes into the mix. I discovered this when trying to run the domestica archetype in tag duels.

4. Sending from Spell/Trap zone to GY as cost is actually brilliant. One of the reasons I made great grandeer.

Rabbit needs to copy the name of the monster whose effect it copies, otherwise none of the effects it copies that were HOPT will remain that way.

That was a mistake on my part when recreating the card. If the other traps were continuous, they would take up space that the Fusions could take. I could find a work-around for this problem though.

Maybe make them activatable from your hand if you control exactly 1 Domestica monster?

Would love to see some replays.

Yep!

One last thing, does the deck respond well to what your opponent does in practice?

[Kollin Odneal]

anytime and for the last question yes and if you need any ideas ask me ok

@LoleoYes it does. Had good duels with this deck. The Mechanics of the archetype make the cards pretty much non-targettable. If you know what I mean. So it's not even that easy to interrupt in the first place. Completely shuts off cards like Imperm.

@Kollin OdnealI'm sorry. What do you mean??
