magemeek22 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The Osmosis Archetype Created by Magemeek22 Now I don't know if everyone'll like this concept, but an osmosis-based deck would be, in my opinion, beyond fantastic. However, before delving into the contents of my newly-created cards, I may as well start with an assertion of what osmosis is and how it works, as well as how I incorporated it into this set of cards. Well, basically, osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration of particulate on both sides of that membrane are equal. For those of you that didn't get what I just said, osmosis is basically water moving from side to side until its concentration is balanced. So what exactly does that mean for this archetype? What elements of osmosis have been incorporated into these cards? Osmosis involves balance. To utilize this element, the monsters of this new archetype are built off of one fundamental aspect: maintaining the same amount of monsters on your side of the field as your opponent controls. If your opponent has more monsters than you, you can Special Summon "Osmosis" monsters from your hand without the slightest cost. However, if they possess fewer monsters than you, you must reciprocate by removing monsters from your side of the field and returning them to your hand. Osmosis is a perpetual process. Osmosis never ends, and there are no time constraints on when and where it occurs. Hence, the monsters of my archetype are free to summon themselves regardless of whose turn it is. Balance is key. Osmosis can be reversed. By the process of reverse osmosis, particulate can be removed from water. Likewise, in this archetype, there exist ways to get rid of monsters in an equally elaborate and chaotic fashion. So there you have it, the fundamentals of osmosis and, as a result, this deck. Now, as far as the specifics of my archetype are concerned, there is a lot of repetition and fluidity. The components are as follows: 6 Level 4 "Osmosis Droplet" Effect Monsters w/ 1200 ATK and 800 DEF 1 Level 6 "Osmosis Droplet" Effect Monster w/ 2000 ATK and 2000 DEF "Osmosis" Spell Cards, composed of 1 Field Spell, 2 Quick-Play Spells, and 3 Continuous Spells 3 Rank 4 "Osmoform" XYZ Monsters Now, on to the cards! [hr] The "Osmosis Droplet" Monsters (Level 4) All of these monsters have 1200 ATK and 800 DEF. Additionally, they all share similar card effects. Foremost, each card reads: During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: __________________________________________. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up “Osmosis” monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up “Osmosis” monsters. Thus, each monster can be Special Summoned at any point from your hand so long as your opponent controls more monsters. However, if you control more monsters than your opponent, you must return "Osmosis" monsters to your hand until the amount of monsters is equal or you simply cannot return any more monsters to your hand. Second, all of the "Osmosis Droplet" Level 4 monsters have special effects that activate when returned to the hand. [spoiler='View "Osmosis Droplet" Level 4 Monsters'] Osmosis Droplet Corrosium [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can return 1 other monster on the field to its owner’s hand. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up “Osmosis” monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up “Osmosis” monsters.[/spoiler] Osmosis Droplet Eradicatum [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can destroy 1 card on the field. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up "Osmosis" monsters.[/spoiler] Osmosis Droplet Gargantose [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can add 1 "Osmosis" card from your Deck to your hand. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up "Osmosis" monsters.[/spoiler] Osmosis Droplet Invulnum [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can target 1 monster on the field; while face-up on the field, that target’s effects are negated, also it cannot be Tributed or be used as Material for the Summon of a monster from the Extra Deck. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up "Osmosis" monsters.[/spoiler] Osmosis Droplet Revivium [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can target 1 "Osmosis" monster in your hand or Graveyard; Special Summon that target. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up "Osmosis" monsters.[/spoiler] Osmosis Droplet Slythe [spoiler='Effect']During either player’s turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you do: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this face-up card is returned from the field to your hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Droplet Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to either side of the field in Defense Position. This effect of “Osmosis Corrosium can only be used once per turn. If your opponent controls fewer monsters than you do: Return face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control to your hand until you and your opponent control the same amount of monsters or until you control no more face-up "Osmosis" monsters.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr] The "Osmosis Droplet" Monster (Level 6) This one monster is unique in that it doesn't follow the "Special Summon from your hand" mechanic nor does it follow the "return to your hand if you have more monsters than your opponent" scheme. This card is mostly just a major utility tool that helps you swarm and maintain hand advantage. [spoiler='View "Osmosis Droplet" Level 6 Monsters'] Osmosis Droplet Parasidium [spoiler='Effect']Each effect of "Osmosis Droplet Parasidium" can only be activated once per turn. When this card is Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Osmosis" monster from your Deck. When this card is returned from the field to your hand: You can draw 2 cards.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr] The "Osmosis" Spell Support These cards are pretty simple. One fundamental aspect that some of these cards utilize is the "Droplet Token" facet. By summoning tokens to the opponent's side of the field, these spells enable you to Special Summon more "Osmosis" monsters. Some of these cards deal with changing control of monsters or Special Summoning "Osmosis" monsters to your opponent's side of the field. In addition, the field spell is particularly useful since it allows you to XYZ Summon with "Osmosis" monsters on your opponent's turn, thus completing the whole "Osmosis is a perpetual process" element. [spoiler='View "Osmosis" Spell Cards'] Osmosis Hypertonicity [spoiler='Effect']If a face-up "Osmosis" monster would be returned from the field to the hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Osmosis" monster from your hand or Graveyard. This effect of "Osmosis Hypertonicity" can only be activated once per turn.[/spoiler] Osmosis Hypotonicity [spoiler='Effect']If a face-up "Osmosis" monster(s) on the field would be returned to the hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Droplet Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position instead. When 3 "Droplet Tokens" have been Summoned by this card's effect: Destroy this card.[/spoiler] Osmosis Chamber [spoiler='Effect']Once per turn, during either player's turn, if a face-up "Osmosis" monster you control leaves the field by a card effect: You can add 1 "Osmosis" card from your Deck to your hand.[/spoiler] Chaosmosis [spoiler='Effect']Activate only during your opponent's turn. Target 1 face-up "Osmosis" monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; switch control of those targets.[/spoiler] Reverse Osmosis [spoiler='Effect']Special Summon 1 "Osmosis" monster from your hand or Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field.[/spoiler] Osmosis Buildup [spoiler='Effect']When an "Osmosis" monster is Summoned, place 1 Droplet Counter on this card. If this face-up card would be destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Droplet Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your opponent's side of the field instead. You can remove 2 counters from this card; Special Summon 1 "Droplet Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to either side of the field in Defense Position. Up to twice per turn, during your opponent's turn: You can Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck using face-up "Osmosis" monsters you control as Xyz Material (This is a Quick Effect).[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr] The "Osmoform" Rank 4 XYZ Monsters These are the trump cards, the cards you NEED to make to win with this Deck. After all, 1200 ATK monsters really don't cut it when it comes to the current meta; however, these 2300-2500 ATK beatsticks should fare pretty well. In addition, they each have very individualized effects that make them extremely potent and powerful if used correctly. [spoiler='View "Osmosis Creature" Rank 4 XYZ Monsters'] Osmoform Abominatum [spoiler='Effect']2 Level 4 "Osmosis" monsters Each time a face-up "Osmosis" monster is returned from the field to the hand while this card has Xyz Material, place 1 Droplet Counter on this card. During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then remove all Droplet Counters from your side of the field; inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each Droplet Counter removed this way (This is a Quick Effect).[/spoiler] Osmoform Elysium [spoiler='Effect']2 Level 4 "Osmosis" monsters You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; add 1 "Osmosis" card from your Deck to your hand. During each Standby Phase while this card has Xyz Material: Special Summon 1 "Droplet Token" (Aqua-Type/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to either side of the field.[/spoiler] Osmoform Poseidium [spoiler='Effect']2 Level 4 "Osmosis" monsters Once per turn, during either player's turn, if your opponent controls more monsters than you: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; return 1 monster on the field to the hand,[/spoiler] [/spoiler] [hr] Well, there you have it. Please read through these cards and tell me what you think! I feel like its a really cool concept, but if you find my execution lackluster, tell me! Constructive criticism is much appreciated!
