New Card archetypes for future chapters in my Fan Fic ["Arachnian" Archetype finished]
I was saving these card ideas for future chapters in my Fan Fic, but since I was bored out of my mind again, I decided to post them.

#1 Dark Thorn Archetype (Click to View)
#2 Black Sea Archetype (Click to View)
#3 Zodiac Beast Archetype (Click to View)
#4 Reptilian Archetype (Click to View)
#5 Arachnian Archetype (Click to View)

This thread is unfinished. I will get back on this tomorrow. Until then, keep on dueling.

RE: New Card archetypes for future chapters in my Fan Fic [UNFINISHED]
Umm, here's what I think about all 5 cards.

Chrysalis: Not worth it. A 0/0 monster that waits for 4 turns (including the summon) to Special Summon a 1600 ATK monster. Didn't you think that it would instantly get destroyed? So it's useless.

Butterfly: Special Summoned from where? Your hand? Your deck? If it is the deck, Chrysalis might have some use (but not really.). If not, ugh. The good part is in 5 turns, it turns into a good beatstick with 3100 ATK, and you can drop 300 ATK anytime to protect it. The only problem is, keeping it alive in the first turn, which shouldn't be much. Not bad.

Rose: Heavy Mech Support Platform for Dark Thorns. Makes Butterfly even more unbeatable at full force, etc. Nice support. But you could've been more creative with the name.

Dragonfly: You only have OCG errors. Good card. I believe this deck completely goes around Butterfly.

Swordsman: From all the nature, bugs, etc., we suddenly turn into swordsmen. Not much creativity. As for the effect, it feels like a sub-beatstick for Butterfly.

So, I see that the strategy of these cards are SLOWLY swarming (because there are no searchers, and chrysalis is crap), and SLOWLY powering up the field with Dark Thorn monsters, and SLOWLY attack, because they have no pierce damage, etc., which makes them faster. There are way better swarm tactics, and they don't need to wait 5 turns for their main monster to completely power-up.

If they weren't this slow, they would be good. 6/10.

The theme does seem to focus on swarming and power, but I don't see it being fast enough to outwit, outlast, outplay TeleDAD or Synchro Cat anytime soon. 6/10 as well from me.

May I make a request: Dark Thorn - Spider?

What's the effect for your idea?

I was going to create a trap card to protect my Dark Thorn monsters.

From your Deck. I appreciate the rest of your comment.

I'm sorry. I've been having trouble coming up with names for each of my new archetypes and it keeps hurting my head.

Dragonfly: You only have OCG errors. Good card. I believe this deck completely goes around Butterfly.

Could you point out the OCG errors for me?

Swordsman: From all the nature, bugs, etc., we suddenly turn into swordsmen. Not much creativity. As for the effect, it feels like a sub-beatstick for Butterfly.

I'll change it's type to Insect. That way, it'll still be in sync with the other cards.

So, I see that the strategy of these cards are SLOWLY swarming (because there are no searchers, and chrysalis is crap), and SLOWLY powering up the field with Dark Thorn monsters, and SLOWLY attack, because they have no pierce damage, etc., which makes them faster.

Thanks for helping me point out some stuff in my Dark Thorn Archetype. I'll be sure to make some adjustments to it.

It's still EXTREMELY slow, and thus useless, it summons a fricken 4 star."

[i]No prob.

Something like Black Thorn Roseclaw, or something, to show that it's a weapon

Dragonfly: You only have OCG errors. Good card. I believe this deck completely goes around Butterfly.

..."Once, during your Battle Phase"... That's all.

Swordsman: From all the nature, bugs, etc., we suddenly turn into swordsmen. Not much creativity. As for the effect, it feels like a sub-beatstick for Butterfly.

Much better.

So, I see that the strategy of these cards are SLOWLY swarming (because there are no searchers, and chrysalis is crap), and SLOWLY powering up the field with Dark Thorn monsters, and SLOWLY attack, because they have no pierce damage, etc., which makes them faster.

The only problem is, you categorize TOO much.
I never categorize, I just pack them in one spoiler.
Having too many spoilers just looks messier.

Answers in italic.

RE: New Card archetypes for future chapters in my Fan Fic [UNFINISHED]
I don't see any major problems with either of these archetypes, except for the fact that the Black Sea cards are all monsters so far. I might be able to fix that:

The Black Sea
Field Spell
All "Black Sea" monsters on the field gain 400 ATK and DEF. Once per turn, when a monster(s) is summoned to your opponent's side of the field, you can conduct battle between one of those monsters and a "Black Sea" monster you control of your opponent's choice (other effects cannot be activated during this battle).

Black Sea Feeding Frenzy
Normal Spell
Select a Fish-type "Black Sea" monster you control. Until the End Phase, it gains ATK equal to the total ATK of all other Fish-type monsters you control. Fish-type monsters other than the selected monster cannot attack this turn.

Fisherman's Big Catch
Normal Spell
Activate only if you control "Black Sea Fisherman". Add a Fish-type "Black Sea" monster from your Deck to your hand.

I was going for the name "Black Sea Ocean", but this is nice too. Thanks.

I'll be sure to add this card too.

Fisherman's Big Catch

I needed more support cards for some of my "Black Sea" monsters. Thanks.

Anyways, I'll be sure to give you credit for these card's, Mystery Guest.

I've just noticed something... Black Sea Reminds me of Black Ice Ocean.

I asure you. I'm not copying Griffin's "Black Ice" Archetype. As you can plainly see, my monsters names don't end with "Black Sea" in their names.

Haou, it looks like the entire first post is blank. Try erasing some of the unnecessary spoilers and see if it will show the cards again.

Okay I got rid of the unnecessary spoilers. And I realized I should really stop organizing my cards.
