Tesability Black Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well, I had one too many glasses of cinnamon tea. I had a goofy idea to combine the summoning of Rituals with the Spirit subtype to create a wierd little Archetype. The unique thing about the Ritual Spirits in this group is they do NOT bounce back to the hand if Ritual Summoned, despite being Spirits themselves. A warning, while the é has no issues in the names of these cards, that gets transformed into something else in the card effects and I don't know how to fix that. ~Ritual Monsters~ Name: Séance Beckoned - Headless Horseman Attribute: FIRE Level: 6 Type: Zombie/Ritual/Spirit Effect: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Ritual Summoned. You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Séance" Ritual Spell Card.

When this monster is Summoned, Special Summon 1 "Flaming Pumpkin Head" Token (FIRE/Plant-type/Level 1/ATK: 500/DEF: 500) to your side of the field.

Forest Fire Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 this looks like a really cool archetype. i wonder why the accented e turns into the weird o. it probably has something to do with the coding of the site. my only problems are Beckoning Seance and White Lady. once you get White Lady out, it feels like you just purposely ss as many of these out as possible and rake in the LP with no consequences. i'd put a cap on the LP gain in a turn or make the other cards have consequences for when they return to the hand. Beckoning Seance... i like that it banishes thus negating bringing the spirit monsters used for the ritual summon, but i feel like there's some existing way to abuse this. i might just be thinking of necroface, who isn't a spirit, but idk.

Tesability Black Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 The White Lady isn't as abusive as one would think and would be best used in the early game, before you can summon cards that anchor the Spirits onto the field, such as The Wild Hunt, Words of the Forbidden Séance at certain times, or already-existing cards that anchor the Spirits to the field. The White Lady's effect would have to be combined with Vântoase's effect (and you'd only get 800 LP because of her wording), already existing Spirits (almost all of who have to be Normal Summoned) or Spell/Traps that bounce things off the field (Giant Trunade, for example). This archetype is focused around the concept of lingering Spirits that you purposely summon forth, many of whom won't bounce back under certain conditions. In all honesty, I'm surprised you didn't flag on Bloody Mary, who removes the top 5 cards of your opponent's deck face-down upon Ritual Summon. And there's next to nothing that can bring back what's banished face-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's next to nothing that can bring back what's banished face-down. Step 1) White Lady. Step 2) Spam as many of these to the field as possible without using Seance Rituals. Optimal materials used: Leader and Follower. as many as possible. Step 3) They return to the hand by their effects. Step 4) gain at least 3200 from the ritual monsters alone. Step 5) Leader and Follower return to hand. If you dumped 3 of each to the grave, that's another 6 monsters returning to your hand. 4800 more life points. You just doubled your LP. Oh and if you used Beckoning to summon Lady, it doesn't matter that Leader and Follower were in the deck. at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted November 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 *looks at the wording again and slaps self* I forgot to add 'from the field' after 'returned to the Hand'. And only Leader returns to the Hand, the other returns to the Deck. I'll be fixing the card image shortly...probably tomorrow, it's getting late here.

Tesability Black Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 'kicks thread up to top' I actually added a new card to this list, the Séance Hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Trying to think of a freaking Field Spell for this group of cards, but another monster has joined the ranks, the Séance Channeller. EDIT: NEVERMIND, Séance Circle has shown up for the Field Spell slot. All three Ritual Spells now have their own card art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 No new cards yet, but Séance Seeker and Séance Hound both have card images now. I may just use these in an RP I'm considering joining... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 And...I kick up this thread with the Field Spell, Doorway to the Realm Beyond and Possessive Séance has also arrived. Just a note, it's always possible that you guys see a possible move that I may not, so feel free to make suggestions to make this set more fun to play as well as viable for play in an actual duel.
