If you like this archetype, you should show your appreciation on how much you like this archetype (if you do) by giving me some positive reps saying how much you like the archetype and maybe why you like it :) It'd be really, really appreciated. I am willing to give positive reps in return as well for your reviews on this archetype.

 

Well. This is my Signature Archetype named Mysterious Magicians. The reason why this will be my Signature Archetype (not my last) is that I love Spellcasters and also my favorite attribute is DARK. Before this thread has came out, I would let out sneak peeks of the Archetype one by one. But now I have chosen to make a thread for the whole Archetype. Mysterious Magicians are a DARK Attributed Spellcaster-Type Archetype. They gain their effects at the cost of Spell Counters, which all of them can gain quite easily when a Spell Card is activated and by their Field Spell.

 

This Archetype could be one of the most flexible archetypes I could ever make. Most of these cards can be splashable and considered staples in certain type of decks or even most decks. If you would run a deck using the Archetype itself, their would be lots of kind of decks you can make. The Archetype has lots of capabilities. Field Control, Hand Control, Beatdown and such. You can choose to make a deck out of one of these concepts but the archetype can also work with a deck that can have all these concepts put into one, which if made correctly, could be an awesome, competitive, yet fun deck to use.

 

So, without further ado, I present....

 

~ The ~ Mysterious ~ Magicians ~

 

[spoiler=The Story]

One day, these human-like species came from a completely different galaxy upon Earth, so it has been told by others. These species were just like humans, except they had spell casting powers from another world. They were completely different from us humans, no matter how human-like their appearance may have been compared to us human beings.

 

26 of these Spellcasters arrived to planet Earth, all spread amongst the world in different places. The day all of these Spellcasters arrived, a levitating Citadel appeared out of nowhere in the middle of a City. This Citadel was said to be the home of the Spellcasters. This Citadel levitated across the Earth. People would try their best to destroy it, thinking that the Spellcasters weld some sort of Black Magic, and are here to conquer the planet, but no matter how much they through at the Citadel, it would just go right through it, as if it was just a mirage.

 

Beams of aura of a blue and green color would shoot out from the top of the Citadel. At this time, the beam of aura would then blast it's way into one of each of the 26 Spellcasters around the world. It is seemed that the Spellcasters gain their powers through the Citadel, and other Spell related things. The Spellcasters can only hold so much power at a time it seems as well. Seeing at times the Spellcasters when using their powers, aura from their body would beam back into the Citadel after using their abilities.

 

At the start of a new year, all the Spellcasters would fly or teleport into the Citadel having a meeting. Nobody knows what the Spellcasters talk about during these meetings once a year. It has been told that the Spellcasters were sent here to protect Earth from an arriving species that rivals with the Spellcasters galaxy, seeking to destroy any other species that they might think is below them. The Spellcasters vow to stop this other species before they destroy the whole universe.

--Edit--

Just added a new Semi-Boss! Mysterious Magician of Queen Quickening.

It has quite a unique and original effect so I need major OCG help with it.

[Phantom M.C.]

i'm pretty sure your ridiculously long intro scared off 99% of the viewers ^ _ ^.

 

they seemed really complicated at first, but i realize that they're actually very simple. most of the monsters all all level 4 or lower, but with powerful effects. they're also highly reliant on their field spell. with terraforming, not only can you search the card out, but also add 1 counter to each card. the effects are varied, and not subject to 1 specific type, making them very unpredictable and versatile, no matter what the situation is, well most situations. i wouldn't mind building a deck around this at all.

 

nice work. :) +rep

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Gaw D: Curse me and my long intros! They do know though they can skip it right? xD

 

That's exactly what I was aiming for. An archetype that's unique, versatile and such. The archetype itself can also be splashable in most decks. Seeing some cards in the archetype can be great tech or side-deck potential in some decks in the current meta. You might be able to make a deck using this archetype, because I submitted them for the Worldwide Set Submission, but they were missed :( So Icy told me to re-submit the 15 cards I submitted in a week and a half or so, and hopefully they'll all be accepted.

 

Any chance you can help me with the semi-boss? Name was posted in my last post, needs serious OCG work.

[Phantom M.C.]

it actually look ok to me, original effects tend to be like that.

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Thanks, I was thinking it was too OP'd for a Semi-Boss. +Rep for you for being one of the first in this thread to rate my archetype :)

 

The archetype has around I believe 5 more monsters to go, and hopefully I'll find an epic picture for the boss card.

Spells and Traps I have no idea. Probably 2-4 more Spells and 2-4 more Traps and that'd be it for the archetype.

I'm also planning on posting a prototype decklist using the archetype just for the fun of it xD

[SMAL]

These are INSANELY realistic, although the effect descriptions should be a bit shorter.

9/10

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Thank you for your rate and suggestion. The main reason why their effects are long is that all of them have this key part in their lore:

Each time a Spell Card is activated, place __ Spell Counters on this card (max._). Once per turn, you can remove __ Spell Counters on this card to...

That one sentence takes quite a chunk of space in their lore.

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Bump!!!

[A Flying Toaster]

hmm...its a very nice archetype...I hope u will be able to create more spells and traps to go along with it :) 5/5

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Thank you for your rate :) Spells and Traps all depend on pictures.

[SMAL]

That might help for my future cards, I'll try to remember that :P

[Wielder of the Ankh]

I am always in favour of shorter ways of writing effects. I would suggest just like officially Piercing damage was used to abbreviate an effect, you could make a shorthand for this "key part" in the lore. For example, like a FLIP: for flip effects (where SCx is short for each time a Spell Card is activated place x Spell Counters on this card, and after the : is for what happens if you remove x Spell Counters)

 

MMoQQ's complete effect could be written as- "SC1 (max. 6): Both players skip the first x Phase(s) during their next turn. You can activate this effect only once per turn, during the End Phase. If you removed 4 or more Spell Counters from this card in 1 turn, roll a six-sided die: - 1 or 6: shuffle this card into your Deck. - 2, 3, 4, or 5: for the remainder of the duel, both players skip the Standby Phase, Main Phase 1, Battle Phase, or Main Phase 2 (respectively).

 

"Spells and Traps I have no idea. Probably 2-4 more Spells and 2-4 more Traps and that'd be it for the archetype." It seems you view Spells as fuel for your monsters, but ultimately I would prefer a more balanced combination of Monster and Spell effects. I would suggest making some cards that invite more Spell usage.

 

I further noticed that none of your cards mention Special Summoning (except Ill Illusions' tokens), this means that most often you will only get 1 new monster on the field per turn. Moreover, since you have sacrificed ATK power for effect power, field presence is likely to be problematic. During your Standby Phase, the Citadel will have no monster to put its Spell Counters on. I would suggest making some monsters that can be Special Summoned easily. In line with the set, you would need an effect to be Special Summoned that depends on Spell Counters. Which can only be gathered if the monster is already on the field. Perhaps make a Spell Card that allows you to reveal monsters in your hand, or top of the Deck to your opponent. In return, these monsters could get Spell Counters on them if Spells are activated. For some Spell Counters these monsters would Special Summon themselves to the field.

 

Lastly, that all of your cards' effects can only be activated once per turn makes the set slow to play. It would be no surprise if your monsters are quickly maxed out on the number of Spell Counters on them and all the counters are just sitting there wasting away. I think the cards would be more fun if some power was traded for speed.

 

Good luck and have fun

Yeah, but as you can also see, they're are a lot of TCG cards that help this archetype like Spell Power Grasp that gives all my Mysterious Magicians a +1 and 1 Mysterious Magician an additional +1 of my choice. Plus, Toon Table of Contents works great for the archetype as well, purely for fuel for their effects and for thinning of the deck. I'm probably going to make at least 5 other Spell Cards for this archetype, having a total of 6, Traps, I have no idea. Probably only 1-4 of them.

Mysterious Magician of Soul Searching. It's the monster that swarms from the Grave. Works well in lots of ways for this archetype with cards like Mysterious Magician of Evil Effects, which has a discarding drawback, but if you discard a Spellcaster, you can special the same Spellcaster with Soul Searching's effect. And like I said before, I'm still working on the Spells. But the spells will focus on swarming and such.

 

Lastly' date=' that all of your cards' effects can only be activated once per turn makes the set slow to play. It would be no surprise if your monsters are quickly maxed out on the number of Spell Counters on them and all the counters are just sitting there wasting away. I think the cards would be more fun if some power was traded for speed.

[/quote']

Main reason why they're once per turn is if they can be used with no limits, this would make most of the cards OP'd. I'm going to make spell cards that are going to put use into any spell counters that are just wasting away. And speed-wise, they're is always Mysterious Magician of Card Control, which can give you some nice draw power of being able to draw 1-2 cards. I also believe one of the synchros, Mysterious Magician of New Nights has some draw power in it as well.

 

Good luck and have fun

Thank you. +Rep for you for all of your criticism to the archetype.

 

New Spell Card added! Protective Wall of the Magicians. Used for well, protecting, putting un-used counters to some use, and adding a bit of speed to the deck!
