Skybornes and Skybounds Mk. II

[Max Darkness]

'Contact Tributing' is the best name I could come up with to describe how this archetype works. Simply, it's a mix of Contact Fusion and Synchro Summoning, all happening in the Main Deck that brings out the strongest monsters. I'm open to suggestions for a better term.

As for the monsters themselves, this is the expansion of a commissioned set for a friend, and draw links with Norse legends and their names from Greek and Roman mythology. The "Skyborne" monsters are low in Level (Lv. 1 to 4) and are designed to either swarm the field or stall for time. Resembling either wind-aligned magicians or creatures of the wind/clouds, they are the more restrained of the two parts.

The "Skyborne Spirits" are a small sub-archetype who can still be used as tributes for the "Skybound" monsters, but cannot complete the task on their own. Also, their effects are generally more specific and potentially more helpful than the original "Skyborne" monsters.

The "Skyborne" monsters' effects remove themselves from play to Special Summon a "Skybound" monster from the hand or Deck whose Level equals the combined Levels of the removed "Skyborne" monsters. The "Skybounds" resemble beings which have been overpowered by the raw elemental power of the wind, and thus have lost some of their form to the entity.

Enjoy.

[b]Effect:[/b] This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of a "Skyborne" monster. When this card is Special Summoned, gain Life Points equal to the number of your removed from play WIND monsters x 200. While this card remains face-up on the field and you have at least 4 removed from play "Skyborne" or "Skybound" monsters, both players can only attack once during their Battle Phase. When this card is removed from play by an opponent’s card effect, remove from play 1 card on the field. If that card was a WIND monster, gain 1000 Life Points.

You can remove this card plus at least 1 other "Skyborne" or "Skybound" monster you control whose total Levels equal 10 from play to Special Summon 1 "Skybound Divinity Boreas" your hand or Deck.

Once again great cards Max.
It's way more ballanced than Konami's Synchro *spits on the ground next to me* monsters. Imo Synchro *repeats what I did before* should have been like these.
To bad that some pics have ownerstamps on them though.
A 9/10

I know it's a problem, but they were the best I could find. Wind monsters are surprisingly hard to find pictures for. Thanks for the rate.

Anyone else want to comment?

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

An interesting idea to say the least.
I love the RFP concept mainly cause i just love RFP decks in general
a good combo for near perfect stall is using "Skyborne Guardian Skiron"+ "Heart of Clear Water" with "Skyborne Spirit Favonius" and "Skybound Tempest Vulturnus"
anyways nice idea 9.3453/10

Thanks. The stall option is there to force your opponent to use card effects to destroy at least one of them, thus triggering their effects; or RFPing with effects, which benefits them. And since they're RFP-based, they're anti-Meta to a degree. Again, thanks for the rate.

Bump. Any more comments?

[Lord Smeagle]

Which archive are these pics from? They're awesome and they flow well.

They're all from Deviantart (except for "Auster", which is from Pixiv). It was just luck that they all share an aesthetic.

[Max Darkness]

I'll bump this once more.
