[Singles] Garland's Retrain Gallery.

[GarlandChaos]

Howdy, folks! You might remember that I used to have a thread for generic cards on here. Well, now, I'll be posting a few retrains periodically. Here's some that I have right now:

 

[spoiler=Main Deck Monsters]

 

Lore: (This card's original name is treated as "M-Warrior #1" while in the hand, field, or Graveyard.)

As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all "M-Warrior #2"s you control gain 1000 ATK and DEF. You take no damage from battles involving this card. At the end of the damage step, destroy any Level or Rank 4 or higher monster that battles this card. All Machine-Type monsters your opponent controls must attack this card.

 

 

Lore: (This card's original name is treated as "M-Warrior #2" while in the hand, field, or Graveyard.)

As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all "M-Warrior #1"s you control gain 1000 ATK and DEF. Cannot be destroyed by battle. At the end of the damage step, if this Defense Position card was attacked by a monster with less ATK than this card's DEF, destroy that monster. All Machine-Type monsters your opponent controls must attack this card.

 

 

Lore: You can Normal Summon/Set this card without tributing. If you do, cards with the same name cannot be Special Summoned for the rest of this turn. Once per turn, if this card is sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard, but its Level becomes 3 and its original ATK and DEF are halved.

 

 

Lore: Once per turn, when a Fiend-Type monster is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Defense Position. Once per turn, you can activate one of these effects.

-Target 1 Fiend-Type monster on the field: Decrease its Level by 1.

-Target 1 Fiend-Type monster on the field: Increase its Level by 1.

 

 

Lore: If this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: Change it to Defense Position. After this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, as long as it remains face-up on the field, all Fiend-Type monsters you control (except this card) cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. After this card is Normal or Flip Summoned, as long as this card remains face-up on the field, increase the ATK and DEF of all Fiend-Type monsters you control (except this card) by 500 during each of your Standby Phases.

 

 

 

Lore: The summoning of this card cannot be negated. When this card is summoned, you can target 1 Set card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone; reveal that target, force its activation if it is a Trap Card, then negate its effect if the activation timing is incorrect, and if you do, destroy it. (If it is not a Trap Card, return it face-down.)

 

 

Lore: Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. You take no damage from battles involving this card. If this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: Change this card to Defense Position. During each of your opponent's End Phases, this card gains 500 DEF.

 

 

Lore: You can Normal Summon/Set this card without tributing. If you do, its effects are negated. Once per turn, during either player's turn, you can target 1 non-Xyz monster your opponent controls (The following effects last until the target leaves the field): This card gains the effects and half the ATK and DEF of that monster and its Level becomes the same. If this card would be destroyed by battle, after damage calculation, destroy the targeted monster instead.

 

 

Lore: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by its own effect and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. During your opponent's Main Phase 1, while they control 2 or more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. As long as this card is face-up on the field, at the end of each phase, destroy all non-WIND monsters on the field.

 

 

Lore: Once per duel, you can Normal Summon/Set this card from your banished pile. You cannot Normal Summon/Set the turn you activate this effect, except by card effect. When this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon it to your opponent's side of the field. If you do, banish it when it leaves the field.

 

 

Lore: Once per turn, when a Level 7 or higher monster you control would be destroyed by battle, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Defense Position. If you do, change the attack target to this card and increase its DEF by 1000 during that battle only. If this Defense Position card is attacked by a monster with less ATK than this card's DEF, destroy the attacking monster. This card can attack while it is in face-up Defense Position.

 

 

Lore: This card is also treated as Warrior-Type. Cannot be destroyed by battle. After damage calculation, if this card attacked, if the monster that this card battled is in Attack Position, destroy it if it has more ATK than this card, and if it is in Defense Position, destroy it if it has more DEF than this card. If this card is attacked, place 1 Minomushi Counter on this card. Once per turn, you can send this card on the field with 2 or more Minomushi Counters to the Graveyard: Special Summon 1 Rock or Warrior-Type Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck with a Level equal to the amount of Minomushi Counters on this card. (This Special Summon is treated as a Synchro Summon.)

Bump.

 

If I get some reviews for these guys, I'll make some more.

[goodfusion]

They seem like an interesting pair of retrains. The theme fits well and sticks to the originals. Although they are weak individually, if you can get multiple of them on the field they become very strong, for example 2 Stalwart M-Warriors and a Battle Hardened M-Warrior make a 3000 ATK monster and 2 2000 DEF monsters.

Their effects are interesting as well: Battle Hardened M-Warrior could be useful for removing problematic monsters, while Stalwart M-Warrior could be useful for stalling and making a powerful defence against Machine-Type decks if you boost its DEF somehow.

Just a quick question: Do you intend it that if you controlled multiple of these your opponent's Machine-Types wouldn't be able to attack at all (similar to controlling multiple Marauding Captains)? Or would they still be able to attack, they just had to attack either Stalwart M-Warrior or Battle Hardened M-Warrior?

 

If there is 1 thing I would change, I would make it so that they are only treated as "M-Warrior #1" or "M-Warrior #2" while on the Field, this way you can include the original M-Warriors into your deck if you wish.

 

Also, please make your next retrains of these ugly things:

Your opponent's machines can't attack at all.

 

I'll retrain those two pinheads, don't worry,

[GarlandChaos]

"Tri-Attacking Yamadron" has been added to the gallery. Those interested in testplaying it are free to do so.

[GarlandChaos]

Retrains of 4 of PaniK's cards have been added to the gallery.

 

Dark, these guys are for you.

[GarlandChaos]

A very special retrain has been added to the gallery. What of? Have a look for yourself.

[Woloa]

My god, you made Shapesnatch useful for anything other than rank 5 Xyz!

[GarlandChaos]

"Hazardous Oxygen Feeder", an Air Eater retrain, has been added to the gallery.

[Woloa]

I like Hazardous Oxygen Eater, if I became real, I would build a wind deck just to use it, Jessie's first turn blue-eyes deck wont stand a chance.

[GarlandChaos]

I like Hazardous Oxygen Eater, if I became real, I would build a wind deck just to use it, Jessie's first turn blue-eyes deck wont stand a chance.

In hind-sight, if Hazardous OE was real, I'm pretty sure Yosenjus, Mist Valley, etc. would be more common than they already are, since removal effects are basically required otherwise.

 

Also, for context, he doesn't mean Jesse from the anime. He means our IRL friend Jessie, who uses a BEWD deck.

[GarlandChaos]

"Golgoil, the Iron Giant" has been added to the gallery. Remember, folks, your cards are what you choose them to be.

[GarlandChaos]

"Loyal Guardian of the Royal Family" has been added to the gallery. And before you ask, no, the song passed down by said family is not the princess's lullaby.

[goodfusion]

Tri-Attacking Yamadron seems really awesome. If you can get it on the Field somehow (other than by it's Normal Summon without Tributing effect) it could be great for doing chain Synchro Summons. I don't think it's overpowered though as that relies on other cards.

 

I really like Golgoil, the Iron Giant. Being able to Normal Summon it from the banished zone is very interesting and original. A Level 4 Tuner is nice as well.

 

Archfiend Emperor of Yamimakai seems pretty neat in Fiend-Type decks for Rank 5 Xyz Monsters, or for a getting a variety of Synchros with say the Resonators.

[GarlandChaos]

"Stone Cold Minomushi Warrior" has been added to the gallery. Stunning, isn't he?

[GarlandChaos]

"Terrorblade Pendulum Machine" has been added to the gallery. How fitting for my first Pendulum, eh?

[GarlandChaos]

"Grand Mechanized Sentinel" has been added to the gallery.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Have you considered adding these to the DP Tournament pool? Battle-Hardened M-Warrior is interesting as a non-targeting, slower variant of Exiled Force.

[VampireofDarkness]

Have you considered adding these to the DP Tournament pool? Battle-Hardened M-Warrior is interesting as a non-targeting, slower variant of Exiled Force.

Isn't Bull Blader the better card since it covers any monster? Otherwise you are right

[GarlandChaos]

I haven't, actually. I'll go add 'em in. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback, Giga. ^^

[GarlandChaos]

"The Devil's Slot Machine" has been added to the gallery. Jeez, and you guys thought Sand Gambler and Gambler of Legend were luck-based.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Being level 3 can make a difference in some decks

[Yemachu]

Just dropping in to say something about "The Devil's Slot Machine". The instance you toss 6 heads, you also toss 1 tails; this results in this monster losing quite some ATK (and blowing up if the opponent does not destroy it), as well as discarding your entire hand... Or can you select the effect in this instance? I have a feeling the discard effect is supposed to take place when you didn't toss any heads (7 tails). Other than that, keep in mind that some effects are far more likely to occur than the others.

 

After performing a little math, we get the following chances (same values apply for tails):

• 0 Heads / 7 Heads: 1 / 128 = 0.78125%
• 1 Heads / 6 Heads: 7 / 128 = 5.46875%
• 2 Heads / 5 Heads: 21 / 128 = 16.40625%
• 3 Heads / 4 Heads: 35 / 128 = 27.34375%

The 128 stems from the amount of different possible patterns you can create (0000, 0001, 0010, ..., 1110, 1111). The other - seemingly random - number is the amount of different patterns that constitute to given number of heads (or tails). I get that it is based on a slot machine, and thus have a really small chance at something nice. But the order of effects (or even effects) might need to be reworked according to the chances.

Yeah, you're right, it was supposed to be 7 Tails and not 1. Sorry, it was a misreading of a similar effect on my part.

 

Thanks for the list of chances. I'll adjust the monster accordingly.

[GarlandChaos]

"Reliable Archfiend Soldier" has been added to the gallery.
