[Nine Breaker]

For Untamed Curse of Dragon:

 

"You can target 1 face-up Fusion Monster you control controls; equip this card to that target"

 

Minor error.

 

The cards seem balanced and look as if they could fit into the Black Luster Archetype as well. Maybe a ritual 'Gaia' monster could benefit from the archetype too. 

[Tojin]

These look really cool! The effects are creative (and not broken), the cards look pretty cohesive, and they generally look fun! As Nine Breaker suggested, maybe a Gaia Ritual monster? The archetype (and the new BLS stuff) would benefit pretty greatly. Not something you have to do, of course, just a suggestion.

[Guest Meta-Leviath]

Thanks for pointing out the typo, I'm terrible for that!

 

And I will make a Gaia Dragon Champion Ritual monster as per your requests, and I might do an Xyz too.

[Guest Meta-Leviath]

Bump

 

I have now added a Ritual Monster and Spell - Gaia the Dragon Master, and Birth of the Dragon Master!

 

I will add a Rank 7 Xyz Monster later today. I think that will be all of this Curse of Dragon archetype, otherwise I think it will be getting too bloated.

[Guest Meta-Leviath]

Bump

 

I have added two Xyz Monsters for the price of one - a Rank 5 and a Rank 7!

 

I have also edited Elite Gaia's summoning condition so it works with the Ritual Monster.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Bumping rule is 12+ hours, NOT 6.

Next time, be patient and wait.

 

--------

Dragon Master is essentially a Harpie's Feather Duster, although it does require you banish an equivalent number of cards from your Deck.

Then, it allows you to Fusion Summon a Gaia the Dragon Champion if you're losing in LP (although it's only one use).

 

Dragon Champion Spirit is a piercer, and can shuffle your opponent's hand if you damage them (provided you also bounce a Gaia/Curse of Dragon monster).

It also allows you to SS one of its materials should it die + go to the Graveyard.

 

Elite Gaia allows you to push for game for big damage, and locks off the opponent from triggering anything during the BP if you have 2000 or lower LP.

Although yeah, you need the Untamed Curse of Dragon, this can be easily summoned with one of the Fusion cards (pretty much CoD Fusion).

 

Curse of Dragon Fusion is a quicker Instant Fusion for Gaia that will usually go off (except if opponent decides to Warning it) and can be re-triggered once again provided you have the original two. This card isn't as abusive as Future Fusion, since it only can SS original Gaia, Elite Gaia and Champion Spirit, so I suppose it's fine. At least there is a hard OPT on it.

 

Dragon Champion Fusion acts as a Miracle Fusion for them, and also provides it an extra layer of protection (although it will not help against sweep removal).
