Megaworm Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Dark Scorpions, a long dead archetype that was slightly competitive, based on applying effects after doing damage, that unfortunately died due to their low support (Im sorry Menae but you alone don't cut it) and their very low ATK, no survival against a super-commonly run 1900 ATK beatstick. Amazon Archers, they are a confusing concept but were the first archetype i ever seen. nobody runs these anymore except a few girls i know in Montana, but they only win because they have boobs. And perhaps because they DO Infact run well? Yes or no? Now, to my question. Can anything from the newer additions (Crossroads Of Chaos, Phantom Darkness, The Duelist Genesis, Crimson Crisis ect.) breathe life into this permanently dead set of cards?

Megaworm Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 there isnt enough Dark monsters in Amazon Archers to remove from play for Dark Armazon Dragon. Dark Scorpion Armed Dragon might have potential. It could remove monsters from play and hit the life points, and then apply some double edged effect! :\ ehhhhh.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 No, we're probably never going to see Dark Scorpions return, except maybe the occasional Don. And Amazon monsters don't even have a very good theme. They tend to just go all over the place with their effects, though mostly involving battle of some type. But I want to make some support cards now :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to make some support cards now :'] the reason i even thought of this topic was because i drew Menae The Thorn in art class and everyone was WOWing it. And that brought me back to the day where i ran Dark Scorpions and won...but unfortunately those days are over. Megamorph is banned, so is Last Will, Sangan and Crush Card Virus so i can blow up Chick The Yellow to kill off big meaty dragon decks anymore. I want to make Dark Scorpion and Amazon Archer support too, but the problem is there are already 5 D.S's, and Amazon Archers do anything and don't focus on one type of effect, so... I'm going to draw Menae naked. I don't know why. I just need something to give to my friends for Christmas since i cant buy them a trampoline, an inebriated girlfriend or a JD Deck.

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 It's "Amazoness", unless you're trying to make some kinda pun. There's only one "Amazoness" who is not an actual "Amazoness", and that is "Amazon Archer". Anywho, apparently your friends have a thing for being dominated.

Lets see, what do they run?Filler Decks, decks without D.A.D, decks with half-ass card themes (ever hear of Aliens and Venom running at the same time?), old Structure Decks, OTK Machines (Exodia Decks with Butterfly Dagger + Royal Magical Library + Gearfried the Iron Knight), Envoy Decks, and old theme decks, such as Dark Scorpion, Archfiends and Thunder Dragons (which isn't even a theme). Montana is overpopulated with Necrofaces, that's the only good thing about our card crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skuldur Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Dark Scorpions are useful. They may not be top tier or 2nd tier but with Oppression and Burden they can provide useful anti-meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 That was random. Anywho, I was trying to think of some cards to use with the Dark Scorpions. Necrovalley came to my mind very quickly, but then I realized they would lose effectiveness from not being able to be brought back with cards like Menae.

SephirothKirby Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I just want to throw this out here - I mean a powerful card comparative to DAD that functions only in Dark Scorpions and Amazons. (ie, This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by having exactly 3 Amazon monsters in your Graveyard. You can remove from play 1 Amazon monster from your Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field.) That would actually be pretty bad, but I didn't mean just throwing DAD into the deck. I meant actually support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabris Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Dark Scorpions - maybe, if Konami focused on giving them support for some swarmin'. Amazonesses? Nah - entomb 'em; they were useless (except probably Chain Master and arguably Swords Woman) and pointless from the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff! Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 chain master was actually pretty cool. a permanent card of your choice from your op's hand? suh-weet! Actually,on tag force evolution,i have both decktypes,and they run pretty well.Dark and Warrior support help lots.Defender is good too,as a huge defense that whittles down their deck.Staunch and 3 robbin Goblins are nice too.

Megaworm Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Let's see......cards that work good with Dark Scorpions.... The A. Forces? Perhaps. Reinforcement Of The Army? You bet your ass. The Dark Scorpions are all DARK Warriors. Crush Card Virus says Hi. Mage Power and United We Stand says sure. Add Rose Warrior Of Revenge, maybe a Colossal Fighter for some hardcore destruction and perhaps a chance to bring back D.S monsters (but you should bring back Colossal Fighter instead.) Dark Armed Dragon!? Build a Tele-DAD deck instead. Dark Scorpions aren't as worthy to work with the big man himself. Exiled Force, seems legit. Command Knight? Gay. Too obvious, but could push the D.S's atk from 1000 To something else and cause an Attack Lock. Marauding Captain? Good. Big Bang Shot? Piercing, and 400 ATK can help any of them. Only downfall is the Removed From Play part, meaning Lil Menae can't bring them back. Axe Of Despair? Only if you can't afford U.W.S or Mage Power. Meteorain? Common Trap = Epic Pierceage for all. Shooting Star Bow? Most of them HAVE 1000 ATK, but in combination with some other Equips, it could Win Epically. Twin Swords Of Flashing Light? Hmmm, might be good if you beef them up a little. Heart Of Clear Water is your best friend. The only ones that can't use it is Gorg and Don Zaloog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
