[AGM/Written/Repost] Bounty Hunter: Eyes on the Attribute! (11/11)

[Dova]

[spoiler=Prompt]

The Bounty Hunters are a set of Warriors with various attributes (mostly DARK) based around your opponent controlling certain Attributes. They all have the effect of "When this card destroys a (insert attribute) monster by battle, you can draw 1 card." They also have effects that let you change your opponent's monsters attributes, and one of their S/T support cards lets you summon a Bounty Hunter whose attribute is the same as a monster on the field once a turn.

 

[spoiler=Design Notes]My original set was very simple, and this is perhaps one of my more subtle reworks; the original Bounty Hunters didn't have their searching/SSing third effects before, just their on-battle destruction and their on-battle support effects. The Spells/Traps similarly didn't have their GY effects, merely their on activation effects. As it stood, it wasn't even really an engine or functioning archetype; they barely had a means to get over big monsters, some of the Main Deck monsters were really underwhelming, and all in all it was an Ice Barrier level archetype, even with Bounty Placement.

 

Even now, their reliance on battle and each other makes them very vulnerable if you brick; they don't even really have combos, just you hoping to open Bounty Placement or Target Assistance and Sumsaa. I also decided to throw in a little Warrior genericness to allow for at least some splashing, although I'm wondering if we might have a second Zaphyros with Xinj.

 

Nothing really much to say in regards to flavour. Spells/Traps are on the nose, and I can't remember why I named the monsters what I did. I had a habit of using google translate to design monsters back in the day, so maybe that's why they all look so weird. I also modulated their Level a bit, not enough to hurt their ATK too much, but enough I feel that they are a little more interesting to look at.
