"Neonova" Synchro Archetype, Crush your enemies with overwhelming power!

[Akron The Void Lord]

This is an archetype that I'm working on for a villain/anti-villain for a story of mine. He shows up rather frequently and often fights multiple opponents at the same time, and so I decided to give him a full archetype that he uses, the "Neonovas". (Yes, I'm very much aware of the redunant name.) They're a deck that is focused around both Beatdown alongside Burning the opponent for high effect damage. They can often Special Summon themselves or eachother, and can even take advantage of when they're destroyed and are generally very good at keeping up offensive momentum. However, they are very poor defensively and often, (though not always) vulnerable to enemy Spell & Traps, as they have no direct counters to them, and are vulnerable to effect negation, as almost all of their plays originate from monster effects, and the likes of Skill Drain can easily put the brakes on this decks' momentum.

[DoctorMiracle]

Destroyer: A great beat-stick that has a better summoning condition than most in the game. With the high level, it may be hard to synchro summon monsters until I see the synchros.

 

Dragonner: You may want to add an once per turn clause to this card as this card can splash ont the field like it is nothing as swam decks can easily allow this card to be on the field immediately.

 

Scout: A balanced user in it's own right when chained to a special summon card but gains most of it's abilities when it is normal summoned. Open to normal summon negation cards.

 

Berserker: To be honest, it seems to be a meh kind of card as the special summoning effect is the only thing going for a supposed use.

 

General: You may want to edit the wording of the card but overall, this card is pretty good as it allows you to have access to a tuner no matter what.

 

Guardian: An interesting guard if you need the protection due to many destruction cards.

 

Enchanter: You may need to improve it's effect as this card requires the destruction of it, leaving a ply you could have used to defend yourself.

 

Strategist: A jack of all trades card that protects your monsters from important spells, traps, and pendulum zone effects with an added bonus of drawing card. Not much to say about it.

 

Warlock: Possibly, one of the best cards you have designed for this archetype as it can special summon itself rather easily and allow you to survive for a while in order to protect your self with life points.

Synchros are on the way. I just have to find art that's good enough.

Done.

Berserker: To be honest, it seems to be a meh kind of card as the special summoning effect is the only thing going for a supposed use.

With the addition of a few new cards, Berserker should see a niche for itself in this archetype.

Before I review the cards here, would you mind if I ask for you to review my "Acquatic" archetype at the end of the review?

 

[The review should be up in 2-5 hours.]

 

[Also, I will only be reviewing Spell/Trap and Synchro monsters because a person above me already reviewed the Main Deck Monsters.]

[Bellringer Angel]

Ok, as I have promised, here is the reviews. Feel free to point out about the grammar mistake that I made throughout the reviews.

 

Also, I'm very sorry, since I won't be able to review the Synchro Monsters for a particular reason.

 

MAJOR NOTE: Please put in a "You can only use/activate each effects of "Insert card name here" once per turn." for each Spell/Trap cards that you have created, since nothing good comes out of a card that can be activated more than once per turn. The searching effects are also one of the main reasons for this.

 

Small Note: I will NOT talk about the graveyard effects, because they aren't really that important besides the lack of "Hard" Once per turn clause.

 

Spell/Trap Cards

 

Altar : Looks weird to me because an "Altar" shouldn't be a Normal Spell Card (in my opinion). Anyway, it is a great ATK increaser, but unfortunately, this card can't trigger other "Neonova" monsters that activate their effects on destruction, because Tributing doesn't count as destruction. (Its probably intended, but I just wanted to mention that.)

 

Wrath : Could potentially destroy your opponent's field (if your opponent doesn't set 5), because you can activate Rally!, which could result in being able to destroy 3 face-up cards on your opponent's field (since activating Rally! will result into Special Summoning 2 monsters, then Synchro Summon 1 of the Synchro Monsters that you created, resulting into 3 cards destroyed). And that comes from ONE card!

 

Strife : Whoa! This card can burn your opponent really badly, for example, if I equip Strife on Destroyer, then attack the opponent directly with Warlord and Destroyer for 4400 damage, then activate Altar to tribute Warlord to increase Destroyer's ATK, causing Strife to activate, inflicting 2200 damage to the opponent. So, I would be dealing 6600 damage to the opponent in ONE turn!

 

Rally! : Instant Synchro Summon can be really broken, but I don't have much knowledge about that, so...pass?

 

Ascension : All I could say is: "DON'T make a Soul Charge without putting in some cost".

 

Apostle : "Unaffected by your opponent's card effects" is too overpowered. Please put in some other types of protection instead.

 

Rage : Could be used with Strife as well. So................yeah. No further explanations are needed.

 

Ferocity : The same cases as Apostle.

 

Wow, that is quite long. Also, please check out my "Acquatic" archetype below!

(Its probably intended, but I just wanted to mention that.)

Correct. Altar is strong enough already, letting players abuse it to trigger destruction-activated effects would be too much. It's also why I didn't make Altar a Quick-Play Spell, because it could lead to some seriously ludicrous combos with Strife.

 

Wrath : Could potentially destroy your opponent's field (if your opponent doesn't set 5), because you can activate Rally!, which could result in being able to destroy 3 face-up cards on your opponent's field (since activating Rally! will result into Special Summoning 2 monsters, then Synchro Summon 1 of the Synchro Monsters that you created, resulting into 3 cards destroyed). And that comes from ONE card!

That's why Wrath can only destroy face-up cards. Anything that's face-down doesn't have to worry about it at all.

 

Strife : Whoa! This card can burn your opponent really badly, for example, if I equip Strife on Destroyer, then attack the opponent directly with Warlord and Destroyer for 4400 damage, then activate Altar to tribute Warlord to increase Destroyer's ATK, causing Strife to activate, inflicting 2200 damage to the opponent. So, I would be dealing 6600 damage to the opponent in ONE turn!

Hyup. Strife is nice and useful, as it should be. Though I'm considering nerfing it ever so slightly so it only deals damage equal to half the change in ATK.

 

Rally! : Instant Synchro Summon can be really broken, but I don't have much knowledge about that, so...pass?

Hence why it can only be used to haul out one of this archetype's Synchro monsters. If it could bring out whatever else, it would be ridiculously strong.

 

Ascension : All I could say is: "DON'T make a Soul Charge without putting in some cost".

Hence why it requires you to control NO monsters at all when you activate it.

 

Apostle : "Unaffected by your opponent's card effects" is too overpowered. Please put in some other types of protection instead.

I'm strongly considering changing it to purely protecting against monster effects instead.

 

Rage : Could be used with Strife as well. So................yeah. No further explanations are needed.

I'll give Rage a "your opponent takes no effect damage for the rest of this turn" clause.

 

Ferocity : The same cases as Apostle.

I'm changing that to just protection from Spell/Traps.

 

Wow, that is quite long. Also, please check out my "Acquatic" archetype below!

EDIT: Rewritten Spirit Shaman's effect entirely, minor errata fixes

[Yuuji Kazami]

Jesus Christ. This is going to be a long one...

 

First things first: Reasoning is definitely needed in this deck with the various levels.

 

Warlord: A hard hitter when the conditions are right. Especially since some of the other card shave effects that resolve when a Neonova dies, this effect is extremely viable in this deck. 

 

Destroyer: Much better than Bull Blader, and is a perfect shield against attacks. The only way to play around it is to sack an effect monster on purpose, and then attacking with a monster with higher ATK.

 

Dragoneer: o_O I have a feeling that this card is going to be what drives this deck. Protecting destruction with a monster that can hit twice per Battle Phase is no small thing.

 

Scout: So pretty much a more effective version of Junk Synchron in this deck. On an important note to be wary of, this deck has the potential to make Accel Synchron by simply adding Effect Veiler or something similar. Using a Synchro Tuner in correspondence to Limit Overdrive can bring out any Synchro Monster.

 

Berserker: The attacking twice is a powerful effect, but getting him out requires the conditions to be correct. Used with Goblindbergh, this card could be quite generic in a Warrior-Type deck.

 

General: A free add once per turn. Rather useful in getting to your monsters faster. Be wary that 3 generals on the field = +3 every turn. This card is still a candidate for Inferno Reckless Summon with 1500 ATK.

 

Guardian: A meh card, since he only re-directs destruction. Might be useful when you have the double attack monsters out, but opening with him might make it hard from the start.

 

Enchanter: Must be Special Summoned for the effect to apply, but it wouldn't be hard if you're running more cards like Reasoning, COTH, and Goblindbergh in this deck. Basically, it's either doubling ATK or a Special Summon when it hits the grave.
 

Spirit Shaman: Powerful effects, but low stats. The second effect isn't as appealing as the first, but this card would definitely have atleast 1 copy in this deck.

 

Strategist: o_O ALL Neonovas are unaffected by opponent's S/T effects. That's pretty insane, considering it includes itself. Skill Drain does crap if this card is already on the field. Heck, I would run Skill Drain myself in this deck. Also, if it's destroyed, you get a +1. Torrential Tribute or Dark Hole, anyone?

 

Gatherer: o_O Adding any S/T card from your deck on a Normal Summon, and if it's destroyed, you get a +1? This card is so powerful and Generic that it can fit into ANY deck. Why not add Dark Hole after Normal Summoning, wiping the field, and getting a +1? Also, if Supply Squad is also being run, the amount of pluses would overpower even Pepe.

 

Warlock: A Marauding Captain/Goblindbergh for this deck in order to give access to a quick Synchro. Nothing wrong there, and it has the potential to be Special Summoned from the hand by banishing a Neonova in grave. Useful.

 

War Hero: Also very useful, this card has the potential to give +1 each time it uses its effect. However, there's no limit as to how many times it can be used in one turn, as long as you have monsters.

 

Helios Sacrificial Altar: The Spell Card for setting up OTKs by boosting a double attacker. Not only that, it has a secondary effect in grave that's the same as Skill Successor.

 

Wrath of Helios: Like I said with War Hero, using this in correspondence with it has the potential to nuke an opponent's field. Pretty useful with the other cards too. Secondary effect to add makes it even more attractive.

 

Heart of Strife: I guess it's somewhat useful in speeding up the OTK's, but this card has very little impact otherwise. It gives no stat boosts.

 

Rally our forces: o_O A free Synchro Summon from the deck? Jesus, that's insane considering that it's much more powerful than A Hero Lives, and that there's no LP cost. Also, you can still conduct other Summons after use? This one's way too much...

 

Eternal Determination: o_O A free reborn, and it has the potential to gain LP after banishing from the Graveyard?

 

Ascension: Pretty much a free Soul Charge although you can't Special Summon after use. Also, you can banish it for a +1. I guess the best part of this card is that it's not limited to only the effect monsters, but the Synchros as well.

 

Apostle: OTK setup. Also, protects destruction when banished from Graveyard. It's a pretty powerful card, although putting in 3 copies is too much. 1-2 copies at most.

 

Unyielding Rage: Like I've said how some monsters give +1 upon destruction, this card has plenty of potential. Also an OTK set-up.

 

LOL: Just realized this. Neonova War Hero and Gatherer makes an infinite loop. War Hero cycles War Hero, and since you gain 500 LP each time a Neonova is Special/Normal SUmmoned, you gain 500 LP. You didn't think these cards through enough...

 

Ferocity: OTK setup, and it makes monster unaffected by S/T effects for free.

 

Devotion: o_O Remember how I siad about the infinite loop? Peform said combo with War Hero and you can pretty much refresh an entire empty hand. Otherwise, it's a decent Qliphort Monolith Trap, except with destroyed Neonovas.

 

Exaltation: Setting up an OTK by attacking with said monster, tributing said monster, and bringing out another heavy hitter.

 

Helios: o_O Your opponent is screwed when this card hits the field. Unable to activate anything is pretty much a death flag. Not only that, it has a double attack effect, ATK gaining effect, and effect damage inflicting effect.

 

Atlas: Field Nuke that also acts as a combo generator for itself. Also has a inbuilt piercing effect, so this card is one of the more viable options for a OTK.

 

Hyperion: The ATK booster for all Neonovas that just won't die since you can easily bring it back by tributing a Neonova. War Hero anyone?

 

Dragon: Locks down your opponent from activating S/T like Ancient Gear Golem. This card is more balanced compared to the other ones.

 

Warlord: Viable OTK monster with his effect. Really easy to Summon as well, and can bring himself back from the Graveyard.

 

Blader: Same as the above, minus self-regenerating effect. The boost it gains on the turn it is summoned is more than enough to end the opponent if it gains the double attack effect that turn.

 

Blaster: Potential field wipe wipe. First effect not really anything special.

 

Sorceress: A more defensive card. Negating the face-up card isn't a quick effect, but it could be useful. Otherwise, this card wouldn't do too much.

 

Slayer: Not too special either. This card can help clear the field for the double attackers, but there's not much else that it can do.

 

Swordmaster: VERY viable two attacker. Also special summons a Tuner upon summon, so it's really useful.

 

Priest: Eh... Could be somewhat helpful for getting out the Supernovas with its effect. The burn for 800 and the stat decrease isn't anything too special either.

 

Initiate: Not that special either. Effect is only ignition, so it can't pull off any combo that would turn the tide for you.

 

Overview: Some cards are too OP, while some are meh. A few are underpowered, but a decent amount are Overpowered. Strongly suggesting major edits if you want more people to review. They were probably turned off by the massive amount of cards and how some cards were just too powerful.

[Akron The Void Lord]

Jesus Christ. This is going to be a long one...

 

First things first: Reasoning is definitely needed in this deck with the various levels.

 

Warlord: A hard hitter when the conditions are right. Especially since some of the other card shave effects that resolve when a Neonova dies, this effect is extremely viable in this deck. 

 

Destroyer: Much better than Bull Blader, and is a perfect shield against attacks. The only way to play around it is to sack an effect monster on purpose, and then attacking with a monster with higher ATK.

 

Dragoneer: o_O I have a feeling that this card is going to be what drives this deck. Protecting destruction with a monster that can hit twice per Battle Phase is no small thing.

 

Scout: So pretty much a more effective version of Junk Synchron in this deck. On an important note to be wary of, this deck has the potential to make Accel Synchron by simply adding Effect Veiler or something similar. Using a Synchro Tuner in correspondence to Limit Overdrive can bring out any Synchro Monster.

 

Berserker: The attacking twice is a powerful effect, but getting him out requires the conditions to be correct. Used with Goblindbergh, this card could be quite generic in a Warrior-Type deck.

 

General: A free add once per turn. Rather useful in getting to your monsters faster. Be wary that 3 generals on the field = +3 every turn. This card is still a candidate for Inferno Reckless Summon with 1500 ATK.

 

Guardian: A meh card, since he only re-directs destruction. Might be useful when you have the double attack monsters out, but opening with him might make it hard from the start.

 

Enchanter: Must be Special Summoned for the effect to apply, but it wouldn't be hard if you're running more cards like Reasoning, COTH, and Goblindbergh in this deck. Basically, it's either doubling ATK or a Special Summon when it hits the grave.

 

Spirit Shaman: Powerful effects, but low stats. The second effect isn't as appealing as the first, but this card would definitely have atleast 1 copy in this deck.

 

Strategist: o_O ALL Neonovas are unaffected by opponent's S/T effects. That's pretty insane, considering it includes itself. Skill Drain does crap if this card is already on the field. Heck, I would run Skill Drain myself in this deck. Also, if it's destroyed, you get a +1. Torrential Tribute or Dark Hole, anyone?

 

Gatherer: o_O Adding any S/T card from your deck on a Normal Summon, and if it's destroyed, you get a +1? This card is so powerful and Generic that it can fit into ANY deck. Why not add Dark Hole after Normal Summoning, wiping the field, and getting a +1? Also, if Supply Squad is also being run, the amount of pluses would overpower even Pepe.

First of all, I'd just like to extend a major thank-you for this bout of feedback. I'm really happy that I've gotten a comprehensive critique, and gotten my Synchro Monsters looked over. I'm certainly taking your criticism into account and giving the archetype a good overhaul. Hopefully, if you come around again some time, this'll be in a much better condition.

 

Thanks again!

[Akron The Void Lord]

The archetype has been under a major overhaul.

 

General has been given +100 ATK to put him out of range of IRS

 

Strategist's destruction-activated effect now requires a discard to draw

 

Gatherer can only fish "Neonova"-related Spells and Traps, and she just gives +1000 LP upon destruction

 

War Hero can only be Special Summoned from the grave once per turn

 

Heart of Strife now increases the ATK of the monster equipped when it deals damage by the same amount

 

Rally Our Forces now requires the player not to Summon at all during the rest of the turn, including before, like Red-Eyes Fusion

 

Ferocity of a Thousand Suns requires the destruction of a Neonova you control to be activated

 

Exaltation can only be activated during your Main Phase 1

 

Dragoon Blader only gains half the total ATK of its Synchro Materials

 

Sorceress' negating effect is now a Quick Effect

 

Slayer and Swordmaster have swapped multi-attacking effects

 

Helios Priest allows you to destroy a Neonova in the Standby Phase

 

Initiate allows you to destroy another Neonova when it destroys a monster to increase its own ATK by 400

 

 

Altar, Determination and Guardian will be revamped soon.

[Akron The Void Lord]

Guardian has been buffed as to work as a semi-Honest

 

Determination requires you to destroy a face-up Neonova

 

Phoenix Blaster has gained a revival effect

[Akron The Void Lord]

Bumpin'

 

EDIT: Card errata and adding some more usefulness to Scout, General and Shaman
