Matter/Antimatter: My Work-In-Progress Archetype


Brawler 1337

Recommended Posts

I originally designed this as an anti-Xyz archetype, but I figured I wanted to shake things up a bit. So, I designed them so that you Synchro out their most powerful Synchros using Xyz monsters.

For the record, the naming scheme is:

Normal/Effect monsters: "Matter"
Xyz monsters: "Antimatter"
Synchro monsters: "Matter-Antimatter"

So, pretty much, the way I imagine these guys play sort of like: Summon Matter monsters, shenanigans happen, Xyz for Antimatter monsters, shenanigans, Synchro for Matter-Antimatter monsters. And even though they're officially anti-Xyz, you can still use your own Xyz monsters to help fuel your Matter-Antimatters' effects.

Don't forget to rate and comment on them. I need feedback on how I can make these better. I don't want to make them broken, but I'm not sure what level of competitiveness I'm going for here. I don't want to make them too much about monster spam, but I want them to be playable at least. (Well, except for some of the cards which are kind of designed to be pack filler cards.)

So, without further ado, my set so far.

Note: This card was designed to be another way to help get out Battle Mech. The archetype doesn't have many cards that let you bring him out, after all.

A note on how his last effect works. It's a Continuous Spell Speed 2 effect. It doesn't activate, and it can be used in response to just about anything short of a Counter Trap. I know no other monster really has an effect like this, but if you haven't already noticed, this archetype likes to bend the rules of the game.

Banish, from your side of the field or Graveyard, the Fusion Materials that are listed on a "Matter" Fusion Monster Card, then Special Summon that monster from your Extra Deck, and if you do, draw 1 card.

After activating this effect, if this card would be sent to the Graveyard, banish it instead.

Note: I'm considering taking out the draw. I just wanted to give more of a reason for a Matter/Antimatter player to use this card over Miracle Synchro Fusion.

Lore: Mind Over Antimatter
Normal Spell
Target 1 "Matter" monster you control with a "Matter" monster attached to it as Xyz Material; Special Summon a "Matter" Xyz Material that was attached to that target.

I know this is a bit of a necro bump, but I've finally made some new cards for this archetype. I've also made a few wording changes, so if you notice that the lore and actual card text don't match, just notify me.

 

Also, I've updated the card images to the new template, so everything's nice and HD. Unfortunately, YCM is acting up on me a bit and is not giving me imgur links, so some of them are still YuGiCo images.

 

Tell me what you think!

 

EDIT: YCM's now providing me with imgur links, so I no longer have any YuGiCo images.
