A custom archetype I've been working on

[Yggdrax]

"How far can one push the power of individual cards on a deck that forces you to entirely abandon the Extra Deck?"
(Without actually breaking the whole game).

That was pretty much the concept behind this archetype, and although I tried to make them somewhat balanced, considering that the archetype deals with Extra Deck locks, I feel like this should be here in the casual section.

I've actually made several cards for this archetype, but I'll only upload a few ones for now.

                                                                           

Slayer Doll Melissa

will there be cards that punish your opponent for using the extra deck too?

Neat idea, but silvy can't be used to ritual summon ace alice

I haven't gotten around to posting the Ritual Spells yet, but they are able of ritual summoning monsters that are in the GY (similarly to Super Soldier Synthesis). And as far as I understand the rulings, you are able of ritual summoning monsters from the GY that were sent there directly and not properly summoned beforehand.

The problem is that is says it can’t be used as material. Ritual summoning treats tributes as materials.

Pretty sure that rituals tributes are just that, tributes, and not actual materials. I believe it's one of those things in this game that in practice is pretty much the same (like destroying and sending to the GY) but the semantics are different, so they are treated as being different things...

That's probably why cards like Warning Point (which prevents you from using cards as materials), don't stop you from ritual summoning, and if they do, it's because said cards specifically state that stuff cannot be tributed.

Regardless... here are a few extra cards.

Hey quick question. how did you get the art?

[LazerSwordKirbo]

Is Fallen Anna's negate supposed to happen in the same chain as the opponent's card activation or start a new one after it resolves?

Cool cards either way.

It depends, in some cases they are edits of actual artwork (like with designer and craftman), while in others is AI generated, and I just edit them in order to fix a few things or add elements/effects. I rarely simply grab some art and slap it into a card. I haven't been at home lately so I don't have my main computer to show you a comparison of the base and finalized artwork for the cards (which is also why I'm not currently putting the credits for the original artists).

It's an effect that activates in response to another activation, so it's in the same chain, you just can't activate the effect multiple times in the same chain. Also, thanks.

Wait till you see the boss monster xd

In regards to making an OS-tan based archetype, I don't think I will, mostly because I don't usually like to make cards and archetypes directly based on other media... although, something inspired by it could be a possibility.

[LazerSwordKirbo]

I love the trap card. Especially the fact that it is only a hand trap if the user is locked into the archetype and has a card on board.

Ah je vois qu'on adore les Anime Girls et Waifus ?

[Greydoq]

This is actually a really good archetype, especially against most metas, the only thing that bugs me is the SS eff and anti-extra deck restriction wording.

a better way of wording it, would be ‘Cannot be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link Monster.’ and ‘You can Special Summon “X” if you have no cards in your Extra Deck. You can only Special Summon “X” this way once per turn.’

Wording it to lock out only fusions, synchros, xyzs, and links doesn’t prevent new mechanics in the extra deck from using them.

In regards to the material restriction, it's like that on purpose as a sort of future proofing, as the monsters aren't meant to be used as a material for anything, that also includes mechanics/summon methods that don't yet exist. In regards to the Special Summon wording, yeah, it is a bit unorthodox (to say the least), but I kept it like that since I felt it was a bit more succinct, although I'm aware that it's not exactly 'proper PSCT'.

[CardSharpDoppel]

I really like your archetype! I love ritual decks, I love anti-ED mechanics, the doll concepts are very original and I really like the artwork. I think a more consistent wording on the card could be something like "This card cannot be used as material for the special summon of a monster from the extra deck".
