"Fallen" Archetype (13/13)

[NobodySovereign]

I consider these a sort of "dark reflection" of the Lightsworns. They work in much the same way, with one key difference: You mill from the bottom of your deck, not the top, which could be both a blessing and a curse if not for some of their back row (such as "The Fallen Road").

 

They work in a similar way to certain counterparts: Samiga to Lumina, Asmodus to Raiden, Infernus to Celestia, etc, with some key differences based on thematic elements (such as cards Banishing your opponent's cards instead of destroying them) or in an attempt to make them less "broken" than the counterpart (like the "Once per turn" restriction on Fallen Dragon). The end goal of the archetype is the same as Lightsworns-- bring out the boss monster. Phomet can either bounce cards to your opponent's deck to disrupt the field, and Fallen Dragon trades repeatability for durability with his effect. Minos prevents other players from grabbing him from your graveyard with his effect, and Lillis and Asmodus improve upon the template that Lyla and Raiden created.

Thank you in advance for your comments, just trying to bring mill decks some love and attention. (Also, couldn't get spoilers to work properly, and I know that this is all a bit much without them, so any help on that front would be appreciated. Thanks!)

I love it! A perfect deck against lightsworns. You should make a monster card called "Dishonest", an dark reflection of "Honest" or something like that.

[NobodySovereign]

I had thought about it, but there are so many other cards to support DARK Fiend-Types, so I decided against it.

[♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪]

Fallen dragon uses 1000 LP for 3300 damage, this is certainly too powerful, and the second effect is a bit useless considering there isn't a single card left on the field...try to fix this by weakening the attack

What's interesting is that these cards can crush your own deck in a matter of time, a self-destruct? very unique.

[NobodySovereign]

Thanks. I didn't lower the ATK, instead opting to change its effect so that now it can either make 1 attack or make 2 but not be able to attack directly. I hope that is balanced...
