Atlasian Archetype [8/8]

[Zazubat]

Good day to you! This one is all about, well, a lot of things actually. Don't get scared away from the length of the effects, they all pretty much have the same structure (besides from Jester, who has an extra effect attached unto it). Their gimmick is that they Summon and get to activate an effect which can boost them to more easily do Piercing damage, which activates their effects. Along with that, you want to try to get out the Synchro as well, and boost that up using the Spells, as the Spells shuffle the monsters into the Deck to gain a certain part of their effects. It's an interesting playstyle I feel, but of course it's up to you to decide if you it's to your liking or not. Oh, and naming and such this time around, well actually I got none this time, I just like Atlasian. I do however have 2 other gimmicks, 1 is that all monsters have the same ATK and DEF, the other being that all non-Tuner non Synchro monsters are EARTH, where the former is DARK.

Not sure what happened to the first part of Knight's effect. Is it just saying non-Synchro, non-Xyz Monsters? That sounds better. ^^ Dunno what the OCG is on that though. And he does a lot after just one attack! But I'd say that's counterbalanced by that unsure 1500 ATK.

 

Ooo, Joker has a mighty mouthful of effects going on there! I'm not too fond of the recycling effect. I can see that his Special Summoning effect can be used when he is added to the hand by the effect of Knight, but that is a tad bit inconsistent. Joker  can easily be made into two cards - one card which adds Atlasian monsters from the Graveyard to the hand and which has the Spell searching effect, and another card which has the Honest-esque effect as well as the "Special Summon from the Graveyard" effect.

I know that might screw up the mini-layers of defense that each monster provides. But maybe in creating a fifth card from the reservoir of effects that you have going, you could grant such a fifth card with the defense layer of: ""Atlasian" monsters cannot be destroyed by battle with an Xyz Monster," since I don't think that Dark Gainer is in need of a layer of protection to offer. And Horserider who for some reason covers all monster sub-types when only Atlasian monsters are controlled, should only cover destruction effects, in my opinion. So, anyways, a final effect for a fifth monster would look something like:

 

"Negate the effects of monsters flipped face-up during battle with this card. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.“Atlasian” monsters cannot be destroyed by battle with Xyz Monsters. When this card inflicts piercing Battle Damage to your opponent: Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Atlasian" monster from your Graveyard. It cannot attack this turn. During either player’s turn, at the start of the Damage Step: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to target 1 ”Atlasian” monster you control; it gains 1200 ATK until the End Phase."

 

And then you would just subtract the effects that are duplicates of the ones listed on the above card effect from the existing cards. That would just be to expand the archetype and steer clear of overwhelming each monster with too many effects.

 

I'm a really big fan of the Spells and Synchro Monster, save the aforementioned defense layer that I feel belongs somewhere else. The Spells provide sophisticated options instead of "i banish ur card n u lose life point n i get atk lol u so jelly" effects. I also love how Dark Gainer "completes" (or greatly enhances) the flow of the series, really setting up for effects that activate when piercing Battle Damage is inflicted. Very nice archetype. I'd love to see a bit of expansion. c:

Added the last cards (those being Protector and Trainer btw). I would have before, but Photobucket is like, nope, you don't have enough bandwidth left.
