[AGM, Collab] Penumbral Fair: The Festival of Light and Dark!

[The Nyx Avatar]

This is a collaboration between me and Draconus297.

 

The premise:

A group of DARK and LIGHT Union Fairies and Spellcasters, with heavy focus on bringing out pairs simultaneously. Massive Pendulum and Synchro support, but the true "boss" of the Deck, Penumbral Fair Eclipse Ringmaster, is something akin to BLS Envoy, requiring you to give up one of each. The Deck focuses on self-bouncing to mess up your opponent's day.

 

Balance is likely questionable to say the least, but this is no final cut, so feel free to offer suggestions of balance.

Seem really strong, especially since you lose little advantage when your Unions are destroyed, as they'll just go to the Extra Deck. Audience Volunteer seems a little silly, especially since it can only be used when you're likely in a winning position already. I'm not entirely sure what Fair Hypnotist's point is; Seems like she wouldn't be too useful unless you could return her in response to a card being activated to negate it, which the current wording doesn't allow. I like the flavor on these guys though, especially RIng Tosser.

 

It's really weird, I posted my own archetype of Pendulum Union monsters in this forum yesterday. You guys clearly know what you're doing, I invite you to give feedback if you can: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/346325-faytls-extra-deck-project-02-insectoids-now-with-100-more-union/

 

Nice work, fellas.

Nice work, fellas. 

Thank you! Would you believe they were much stronger before posting? Originally, Hypnotist would be capable of negating two cards.

[Draconus297]

Actually, the funny thing is that Audience Volunteer can be done in a situation where you miraculously survived an OTK, you Pendulum back everything that died (plus anything you drew this turn), and eat the (likely SS'd) offender.

 

Its text is supposed to read "when your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster", not "when your opponent a Special Summons monster". Weird, I thought that issue had been fixed before this went up.

 

But yeah, there was a lot of fine-tuning that went into this.

Oh yeah! How's I miss that? Edit the effect of "Penumbral Fair Audience Volunteer".

Bump.

Bump?

[The Nyx Avatar]

New Synchro Monster added to archetype.

[Draconus297]

Duo makes for a surprising engine addition, allowing you to use some members to their best.

 

Bravo, Nyx.

Bravo, Nyx.

Thank you! I wanted to add a/some Spellcaster-Type Synchro Monster(s) to the archetype. So, I thought of making one that can play with the Union monsters.

[The Nyx Avatar]

Bump.

[The Nyx Avatar]

"Penumbral Fair Swords Performer" Synchro Monster added to archetype.

[Draconus297]

Swords Performer is OPT Bottomless in a Pendulum Zone . . . but has no way to get there. That's a fix you need to make.

 

Otherwise, really solid new card.

Thank you. Don't know how I overlooked that. Added "During your Main Phase: You can place this card in an empty Pendulum Card Zone." to the effect.

Bump.
