[spoiler=Prompt]Brethren of the Scythe is an archetype like Brotherhood of the Fire Fist. Each one of the five continuous spells search out a member, but instead of searching a beast-warrior, they search dark warriors. The Warriors themselves can be counted as 2 materials in the Xyz summon of their member monsters. Convenient seeing as how the only require 2 materials. The boss monster however requires 10 materials, or 5 Scythes and acts like an extreme Master of Blades, negating activations of card effects, then randomly destroying a card your opponent controls.

 
I feel I could add so much more to the archetype, but don't want to add more if I've made mistakes with the concept, as it could create some serious problems. Text beneath is most updated, unless the actual stats of a card need to be changed. Thoughts?

Okay first of all, love the artworks. Especially for the Scythe Callers.

 

Second of all, these need some serious restrictions or they could easily let you spam Rank 4s all day long. You can also set up a combo to get all of the Brethren monsters out by just Summoning Bha'u. Ex: Have Arreba and Saudara already in the grave, Summon Bha'u, SS Saudara (which is now Lv 4), Saudara SSs M'Bale from hand (which is now also Lv 4), and finally SS Arreba from grave targeting Bha'u. That's 4 monsters out of the price of 1.

 

And the whole "treat itself as 2 Materials" wasn't carried over into the OCG/TCG, and was instead replaced with that, any monster who had such an effect in anime, SSs another copy of itself.

 

I would add a restriction to the Main Deck monsters that they can only be used for DARK or Warrior-Type Xyz's, and make the Xyz Monsters generic. And maybe make Chua-Te Xyz Evolutionable onto a Brethren Xyz Monster, and remove its last effect altogether.

 

With that being said, this is a good Xyz engine, but it needs a few restrictions, otherwise it can be too abusable.

[Dova]

Changes have been made! I've made the Main Deckers restricted to Warrior-Types, as the only big beaters you are getting out of that are now UTL and Rhongobongo.

 

And maybe make Chua-Te Xyz Evolutionable onto a Brethren Xyz Monster, and remove its last effect altogether.

 

That was an idea I had, but the prompt I was given did say 10 mats, and I felt that should be the only way to Summon it. Besides, I feel its far too fast to be able to Xyz Summon this onto 1 Xyz Monster Summoned from 1 monster.

[Dova]

Bump.

[Kanashimi]

Still . . . .

 

Ahem! Well y'know RoTA is limited for a reason right? and its a Level/Type restricted, while Scythe Caller are Level/Attribute restricted which in theory, has more wide variety of cards that can be searched than RoTA, ik its continuous and ik MST exist, but still, that 2nd eff make up for it so, even if it gets negated>destroyed or MST'd (only destroyed) at least Scythe Caller always give you eff, while lets say Tenki, its 2nd eff is ATK booster and just +100 ATK, if it get MST'd, *boom*

 

Simple example of abuse:

> Sabit : Can search Ghostrick (since they can be Set anyway, or something that resolves in hand and mostly during opp turn like Mary or Jack Frost) and BW can search Kalut (dont need to hit the field), Fluffy can search Edge Imp and use it for Fusion Mat, D/D can search Swirlal Slime or Necro Slime, etc etc etc

> Chalg'i/Kosa : GK's, BW, Kozmoll Wickedwitch, Magician's Rod, D/D Savant Kepler and more you name it.

> Kerandi : Doppelwarrior, Lunalight White Rabbit etc etc etc

 

Even if you limit to search "add 1 DARK [Level] Warrior-Type", E-HERO Shadow Mist, Armageddon Knight, Dark Grepher, PK's exist so yea . . . .

 

Maybe you can put another limitation like . . . "add 1 DARK [Level] Warrior-Type with with 1200 DEF"  but well again, PK's has Silent Boots sadly (1200 DEF), and the same goes with Armageddon Knight (1200 DEF). But hey, atleast the list been narrowed down!

 

As for monsters, no need to say more (i think?), Krazzy Krissy already done it for ya.

 

Hope this helps~
