Fairy Tale Archetype {Not to be confused with the Fairy Tail cards}

[The Frost King]

A group of LIGHT Level 4, Spellcaster-Type monsters that are based on famous fairy tale characters. They rely on Magic Counters to activate one of their effects. They all share the same ability to gain Magic Counters by either having allies summoned or by having Fairy Tale spells and traps activated. Each Fairy Tale monster has Fusion versions which, when summoned, gain special Counters that allow them to activate their powerful effects.

I thought up a very powerful 1 card combo that starts with the Field Spell, Fairy Tale - Wonderland.

1. Activate Wonderland and use its effect to search Hansel & Gretel.
2. Normal Summon H&G and use its effect to search another Wonderland Field Spell.
3. Send the first Wonderland to the GY to activate the Wonderland you just searched and use its effect to search Red Riding Hood.
4. H&G's effect triggers to place 1 Magic Counter.
5. Special Summon Red Riding Hood because you control a Fairy Tale monster.
6. H&G's effect places a second Magic Counter.
7. Remove 2 Magic Counters for H&G's effect to return the Wonderland in your GY to your hand.
8. Activate Wonderland for a 3rd time and search whatever. You can search Red Riding Hood for a 3-mat summon, or you could search Mermaid's Melody as insurance.
9. Both H&G and Riding Hood's effects activate to place 1 Magic Counter each on them.
10. Remove both Magic Counters to draw a card with Riding Hood's effect.

You started with 1 searchable card and you now have 5 cards. My main solution to this is to add a clause saying that You can only activate "Fairy Tale - Wonderland" once per turn. Red Riding Hood is also very strong, instantly turning an Alice or a Hansel & Gretel into a Rank 4. Also Party Till Midnight's name is spelled wrong. 'Til is short for until while "Till" is something used by people behind the counter in shops to keep track of money. Party Till Midnight also needs a once per turn on the draw effect, since as it's worded right now, you could just keep activating its effect till you have drawn and discarded every card in your deck.

 

EDIT: Looking forward to seeing what extra deck monsters you make for this theme, especially the Fusions that are hinted at by the Field Spell's effect!!!

Oh dang, thanks for showing that. I didn't notice. I've edited Wonderland's and Party 'till Midnight's effects now so that you can only do it once per turn. 

 

I've added the Extra Deck monsters, so now the deck is pretty much complete.I may add a spell, trap, or monster if I feel like it.

FINE. You keep bumping so you obviously want more feedback. I don't usually review Casual Card Design but it seems you made the artwork (correct me if I'm wrong) and keep naming yourself after these cards. I'm guessing this is a project you've been working on for a long time, so I guess I'll obligate myself to help you improve the archetype to the best of my abilities.

 

 

Since the name and theme are way too similar to Fairy Tail, I would name them more geared toward the fact that they look more battle ready and a tad darker. Maybe something along the lines of Grim Fiction or Fairy Fable.

 

 

(Prepare for blunt statement please don't kill me) The archetype doesn't seem to be doing anything in particular. It seems more you made a checklist of things an archetype should have almost as if it's Tellarknights and then added Spell Counters, but you thought that would be too good so you turned them into Magic Counters.

 

 

Now it's not like there haven't been archetypes like that before, but usually that happens when Konami is trying to adapt something into the game, or still experimenting with synergy in archetypes (5Ds and prior). You do have counters, but that's not something for archetypes to "do" it's something that assists in doing something. Cloudians have Counters but their gimmick is that they have a lot of self-protection without concerning your health. Mythical Beasts (the new ones) have Spell Counters but they focus on self-destruction and Pendulums as Continuous Spells rather than vehicles for Pendulum Summoning. 

 

 

^^ (Referring to mechanics) I would go back to what Fairy Tales do (the term, not your archetype). They inspire others and show them a world more spectacular than their own, and all the while teaching them something to bring with them the rest of their lives. You could try to adapt inspiration into mechanics. This could be done by having monsters attack with over a certain amount of ATK (like 2000 or more per say), in which your other monsters would do a thing. You could probably exploit that with effects that aren't OPT (just don't have many of those effects give you high levels of advantage like drawing or searching cards)

 

 

The card art is great (Especially sleepy beauty with the nightmare becoming her armor. That deserves an archetype on its own.) I do think they need at least a bit of a colored background just so they look a bit more official, and maybe crop so of the images to make them more dynamic, but if that would take too much work I wouldn't blame you,

To point out, I did not make the card art. Although I wish I could draw that good. I actually got the images from a game known as Sinoalice(https://sinoalice.wiki/Main_Page) 

 

I actually haven't really been making yugioh cards in a while, plus I haven't been playing the game much, so my card making skills are a bit sloppy. But thanks for your review, I really appreciate it.
