Lone Star Archetype [WRITTEN, 14/?]

[Tinkerer]

Hello, fine peoples! I decided to work on a simple premise that works like a more aggressive version of Spyrals. It's nothing mind-blowing, but I think the effects are simple and effective enough to warrant seeing how it'd stack up against meta decks. Without further ado, the Lone Stars!

 

[spoiler=Lone Star]Lone Star Wanderer

WIND ****

If this card is Summoned, you can equip 1 "Lone Star" equip spell from your hand or Deck to this card. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. You can only control 1 "Lone Star Wanderer".

2600/0

 

 

Update1: 1/2/17 - toned down a few cards without completely removing their functionality.

 

Update2: 1/10/17 - added "Stun Bolt", "Lovely Doxy", and "Big Bounty". Also made text edits to the Ammo cards since they never said where you can recover them from.

[spoiler=Wanderer]

Being able to equip from the deck as well being a level 4 with decent attack and immunity, its pretty good, as it's basically a level 4 monster with 2700 atk (assuming you equip long hunter) as well as being immune to lots of things.  

 

 

 

[spoiler=Silver Colt]

A free summon of the aforementioned Wander, as well as making basically invincible outside of battle and kaijus already makes this archetype pretty strong.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Kid]

Being summonable off of Colt is good, as well as being able to be equipped by the spells and the free search is good.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Flash Pistol]

Ok i guess. If its the only thing equipped its not going to be doing much as you wont be dealing a lot of damage, but the destruction effect can take out a few problems against things that aren't tier 1.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Twin Barrel]

Better, it gets off a total of 4800 damage on its own, and makes Flash Pistol good when they are combined. But it should be "That monster" instead of just "monster".

 

 

 

[spoiler=Long Hunter]

Good attack boost and the monster removal effect can get rid of problems that are normally immune to destruction and being able to see whats in your opponent's hand makes this one of the better equips.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Incendiary Round]

Being a possible destruction and 1000 damage every turn, as well as being searchable off of kid makes this really strong, and can actually be a good discard fodder.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Silver Twister]

Basically a searchable MST that can also destroy monsters that you can activate every turn, and a good discard fodder.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Old Smithy]

Good defense, can make twin barrel deal 6800 damage, and gets 2 Searches. In an actual deck, probably the most important card other then wanderer.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Favored Bartender]

The main reviver for the archetype, the protection on it makes it pretty good.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Bar]

searchable, can search and lets your monster overpower theirs and protection ends this archetype on a good note.

Thanks for the comment Chaos.  Looking at them defined like that kinda shows what needs editing.  Will update the initial post with a few edits.  They won't really change the functionality of the cards themselves, but it will tone down some of the stuff that might seem a bit over-the-top.
