Warrior-Type "Orc" Archetype

[Kingdom Xathers]

My overall idea is to incorporate concepts often associated with Orcish lifestyles and behaviors, such as warrior pride, brute strength, shamanism, etc., as well as throwing in some concepts from Dungeons & Dragons, Elder Scrolls, and so on. This Archetype also introduces Orc-Blood Counters, which modify the strength of certain cards in regards to ATK-power or effect-efficiency. I'm also attempting a bit of anti-Xyz tactics, as well.

[spoiler=Main Deck Monsters]


You can banish 1 "Orc" monster from your hand or Graveyard; Special Summon this card (from your hand). This card can attack up to 2 of your opponent's monster during each of your Battle Phases. During the End Phase of the turn that this card on the field was sent to the Graveyard; you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type "Orc" monster from your Deck or Graveyard.

 

When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Gain 300 Life Points for every Orc-Blood Counter on the field. If this card is used as a Synchro Material for the Synchro Summon of a Warrior-Type "Orc" monster: You can treat this card as a Level 2 monster.



If exactly 1 monster you control is destroyed by a card effect your opponent controls; you can Special Summon this card (from your hand), and if you do, destroy 1 card your opponent controls. When this card battles a Defense Position monster: inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent. Battle Damage this card inflicts by battling your opponent's monsters is doubled, but cannot exceed this card's original ATK.

 

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent: Place 1 Orc-Blood Counter on a face-up card that you can place Orc-Blood Counters on. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent by attacking directly: You can send 1 card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard. You must control another face-up Warrior-Type "Orc" monster in order to activate and resolve this effect.

 

 

This card gains 100 ATK for every Counter on the field. Twice per turn: You can remove 1 Orc-Blood Counter from 1 face-up card on the field and place it on another face-up card that you can place Orc-Blood Counters on.

 

 

This card is unaffected by the effects of your opponent's Trap Cards. A Warrior-Type "Orc" Synchro Monster that is Summoned using this card as a Synchro Material gains this card's effects.

 

Up to twice per turn: You can target 1 other Warrior-Type "Orc" monster you control; reduce its Level by 1 and its ATK by 600, and if you do, place 1 Orc-Blood Counter on a face-up card that you can place Orc-Blood Counters on.



You can Set this card from your hand to your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Spell Card. When this Set card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone is destroyed by your opponent's card effect: Send 1 random card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard. During the End Phase of the turn this Set card in your Spell & Trap Card Zone was destroyed by an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon this card from the Graveyard then, if you control another face-up Warrior-Type "Orc" monster, detach 1 Xyz Material from an Xyz Monster on the field.



When this card is Summoned: Select and activate one of the following effects. If your opponent controls a face-up Xyz Monster, you can activate more than 1 of these effects.
* Reveal the top card of your opponent's Deck.
* Reveal 1 random card in your opponent's hand.
* Reveal 1 Set card your opponent controls.

 

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by destroying 1 face-up Warrior-Type "Orc" monster you control. When this card destroys a monster by battle: You can remove 3 Orc-Blood Counters from your side of the field to target 1 Set card your opponent controls; destroy that target, and if you do, inflict 800 damage to your opponent.



When your opponent Xyz Summons an Xyx Monster; you can attach this card in your Graveyard to that Xyz Monster as an Xyz Material, and if you do, that Xyz Monster gains this effect.
@ When an Xyz Material(s) is detached from this card: the controller of this card must discard an equal number of cards from their hand, and if they cannot, destroy this card.



When this card destroys a monster by battle: Place 1 Orc-Blood Counter on this card (max. 3). This card gains 200 ATK for each Orc-Blood Counter on it. While this card has 3 Orc-Blood Counters on it: This card can inflict piercing battle damage, also, when this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you can destroy 1 Set card your opponent controls.

When a face-up Warrior-Type "Orc" monster is targeted for a card effect: You can remove 3 Orc-Blood Counters from your side of the field; switch the target of that effect to another face-up Warrior-Type "Orc" monster (the new target must meet the requirements of the card effect).



If this card is used for the Synchro Summon of a Warrior-Type "Orc" Synchro Monster: You can treat this card as a Level 4 Tuner monster, but if you do, the other non-Tuner Synchro Material Monster(s) must be a Warrior-Type "Orc" monster(s). A Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster gains the following effect.
@Once per turn: You can remove up to 5 Orc-Blood Counters from your side of the field; inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each Orc-Blood Counter removed for this effect.



Anytime during your turn: You can Tribute this face-up monster and remove 4 Orc-Blood Counters from your side of the field; destroy 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, add 1 Warrior-Type "Orc" monster from your Graveyard to your hand, except "Crimson Orc Force". This effect of "Crimson Orc Force" can only be used once per turn.



When this card is sent to your Graveyard, except from your hand or Deck: return 1 of your banished Warrior-Type "Orc" monsters to your Graveyard. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can activate 1 of these effects.
@ Add 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type "Orc" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Orc Handmaiden", then switch this card to Defense Position.
@ Send 1 Warrior-Type "Orc" monster from your Deck to your Graveyard.

When this card destroys a monster by battle: Your opponent draws 1 card, then takes 300 damage for every card in their hand, also, you can place 2 Counters on a card that you can place Counters on (these Counters are treated as the type of Counter that can be placed on that card).

im not a big fan of orcs (or orc looking creatures) but the concept and idea is well thought out. you have your attackers, defenders and counter users and your high level tribute orcs for extra power. most of the are lv 4 which makes an easy synchro summon and xyz summon. i like the way you added anti xyz effects, very cool. overall i like it. id say 8/10

great choice in images btw

So, would Pirate Captain gain priority over Veiler?

 

I think you should make its effect "While this card is face-up on the Field: negate all card effects that activate in the Hand." as most (if not all) of these effects are activated by discarding.

On that note, the card text states "sent" rather than "Discarded", so it would be virtually useless against Darkworld and Fabled.

Resilient Orc of Bravery seems a tad bit op to me, it's a low level beat stick that works like Gyroid, but much better since it affects card effects as well, wot. I think it's best if you choose between either, and not have both. If you want to make a tribute fodder, it shouldn't be so flexible as being a beatstick and frontline defense, yeah sure it can only attack every other turn but its defenses are pretty high, would require an above average low level monster to deal with it, and you need about 2 just to counter it. Also the ATK and DEF reduction, I think you should change that to "until the turn's End Phase" this card gives you alot of advantages as it is and giving your self another huge advantage like this would prevent your opponent from counter attacking you, and that card is undestroyable! (once)

 

Also I feel that Bash & Crash is OP as well, you only lose 1 hand advantage to put a field clearer on the field, that also acts as a searcher. Usually Konami (or whoever makes these cards) doesn't add that many advantages over a simple disadvantage, all you do is Banish a single card, then boom multipurpose beatstick, hmm an example would be Vice Dragon / Cyber Dragon, they're Situational (cost) and is below Average in attack power when talking about midlevel monsters, thats all they do, just to be an early field dominance or Tribute Fodder or XYZ/Synchro. You should remove the effect where it can SS an orc from your Deck, just to ease OP-ness, either way I like how this card works though real nice, gives you a frontline Dominance if you draw this card early.

 

Tribal Orc of Brutality this archetype simply does way too much effects, :(, You're basically giving yourself an epic Beatstick, a Raigeki Break, Fairy Meteor Crash, all in One, with quite an ease of situational summoning. I think it's best if you remove the Raigeki Break effect, and the doubled Battle Damage, it's simply way too much for a simple situation and a single discard.

 

A Dark Orc Wielding a Cursed Axe
OMG SO Funny I love this card, great job on this one hahaha, a giant screw you for XYZ Summoning, I think it goes like this card from your Graveyard not in your Graveyard, not sure though.

 

Vrelok

Doing too much again, it already saves itself but you get to destroy 1 card and burn damage?
Idk, I think It'd be best if you remove the burn damage, look at Stardust Dragon sure it's really strong (Easy requirements) as it can screw anything that destroys a card, but the thing is it leaves the field, it can't do anything at that moment and turn and you can trap it (Swallow Flip / Solemn Warning), Vrelok however can still deal damage, and could clear backrows / do vengeance of your own choosing as well.

 

Orcish Blood Rage

Too strong :x
Doing 2.5k+ Damage while being immune to backrows is a bit too much don't you think. This is like a very strong burn card whose cost is all but a discard (banish), I think it would be best if you simply remove the "Battle Damage it inflicts during its first attack becomes its original ATK+500" or use that effect instead of the Backrow Immunity.

(more coming XD still reading, this is a big archetype)

 

is Let 'Em Bleed Out meant to be a Continous Spell Card?
Great Support Card btw.

 

All in all, great beatdown archetype man, really good job.
I like how it's all focused on attacking and attacking, summon then attack, no dilly dally preparations or w/e. A real beatdown Archetype.

Ugh, all of these "bumps" make for an un-appealing topic. Anyways, recently added, like, 10 or so cards to the Archetype. Anything that I should add?

[Bleaknight]

I can't say I've read through them all, but it seems the archetype in general has too many cards (SO unnapealing to read through) and overall has very weak cards while not having much synergy between all members. Take a look at "Guardian Orc" for example - all it does is be a part of the archetype, being a weak beatstick who can't be destroyed in battle by monsters with exactly 1700 ATK. No one would run this even in an Orc deck. The archetype doesn't seem to have a consistent common theme from which all or most members can benefit from, and that's mainly what defines an archetype and makes it good. Also, don't make too many cards - about 20-25 is probably what you should aim for for a complete archetype. The Orcs have nearly 50 cards, which not only makes it bothersome to read through them all, it also makes many cards not be used and makes it hard for it to be an archetype with variety of effects. 

[Kingdom Xathers]

Right...

 

Now my dilemma is as thus: trying to see what should be changed/taken out, while still keeping things coherent....

[Lê Quang Sơn]

Hard work huh?

This Archetype is cool

[Fear From The Dark]

Cool deck, I noticed some of your cards had 50's in their ATK points. I don't see many new cards that throw 50's or anything like that in their ATK or DEF points anymore, I'm glad to see that some people are making cards that the Serpent Knight Dragon can play with.

[Cocodomoco]

Oriental Orc monk is slightly politically incorrect lol. I love the cards though.
