Periscorch Archetype (14/14)

[Atypical-Abbie]

Periscorch is an Archetype of Pyro-Type/DARK monsters with various Levels. They focus on self destruction, effect damage to your opponent and Fusion Summoning. Each monster has an effect similar to Yang Zings that work when it's destroyed by battle or effect, and they have various ways to destroy themselves, and they also each have another effect that activates on Normal and Special Summons. Their name is a portmanteau of Perish and Scorch, which is why they are DARK, and their names comes form various fire based things, mostly in the vein of burning things.

Burstblaze is interesting. When he is destroyed you basically gets to nuke the field, but with a delayed timer (End Phase if left alone, via Overheater exploding). If done in opponent's turn, it makes an interesting situation where the opponent is given a chance to try and do something before the End Phase (e.g. removing Overheater without destroying it, or set up an anti-destruction monster), it makes the game more fluid I think.

 

Furnace is nice, but since every possible target has a float effect, it's effectively a +1 per card per turn. I'd prefer to put something like a HOPT clause on its first effect (Red-Eyes Return which is a +1 per turn does it too). Besides, it has the second effect which is also quite nice and I think can be left as it is without giving additional clauses.

 

The same reasoning of +1 per card per turn applies to Soldering Fusion. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with +1 from the grave, but with its current effect you can use it indefinitely (once per turn, per card) until your opponent somehow banishes it from the Graveyard. It's more powerful than on-field Continuous card because it can't be destroyed by S/T-destroying effects. It might be better to change that into, instead of adding it from grave to hand, it banishes itself and fetches another copy of Fusion from the Deck. Therefore you have a somewhat limited number of times to abuse that effect. Think of it like the Ritual Spells with graveyard effects (Dark Dragon Ritual, Prediction Ritual, etc.). Or you can change the "cost" into sending a Periscorch monster to the grave instead so it's a +0 that works mainly to facilitate Fusion Summoning. Either one is fine, although I think the former is better.

 

All in all, it's a fun and interesting deck. It's also quite powerful without being too overwhelmingly OP.

 

If they had art, what would the monsters look like, in your mind?

Furnace, I don't know, I actually thought it was a bit weak at first, but I may change it.

 

Soldering, sure, but you still need to use the card, meaning you'll be giving up two monsters, so it's not something you'll use more than once per turn I would feel. I won't be changing the fact that it blows up guys, that's the entire point of the card, but I may add a restriction to it.

 

I don't really think about art much, but thinking of demons with fire blazing out of them, something like Red Sprinter.

[Titan403]

Overall I really like the concept and ideas behind the deck. 

 

I feel that all the normal monster's effect regarding "Special Summons" are fairly underused, since there seems to be

only 1 card that can special summon them but it negates their effects. It may be cool to add a third fusion monster than

could potentially fill this void of special summoning. Two fusions would get fairly stale I feel playing the deck, but a third

would probably give it just enough to feel new and different each time, as well as giving you more tools to react to situations.

 

Also I really like the ability for Burstblaze to special summon Overheater and then destroy him during the endphase, this is a field

nuke regardless of which fusion was originally special summoned, though that means that you will cycle through your fusion deck

resources a lot faster, especially since a field nuke may give you the resources to fusion summon again next turn through destruction

effects, potentially 2 or 3 fusion monsters per turn, which will result in your deck relying on the normal monster effects to play without

targets to fusion summon after a few turns. More fusion targets in the extra deck would probably, like I mentioned earlier, help fill the

void of special summon effects (since you can normally only normal summon once per turn, except with your one cards effect), as well

as fill the extra deck with more resources that wont be used up after 3 turns.

 

(I may add more as I think of things)

 

Also is there any reason Firestarter chooses to normal summon them, instead of special summon, since they get their effects either way.

You must have missed Coalmaker, because that allows them their effects to activate. And yes, I do plan to make more Fusion Monsters, thought that was obvious since Burstblaze only has one monster it can Summon right now.

[Titan403]

Oh lol Im sorry I did miss coalmaker. So that is a lot of effects if you have coalmaker and firestarter and another monster in your hand.

I think if you had 2 coalmaker and 3 firestarter in your hand you could summon them all :P

And awesome, will look forward to new fusions.
