"-styx" Archetype - Unfinished - Before Humanity, roamed the "-styx"

[Sluggaholic]

Hello everyone. This is the first genuine, original Archetype I've made. I hope you can enjoy the cards I've made so far. I plan to add more support in the form of Spells, Traps, you name it. I have a plan for these cards, you'll see, but for now, I have to keep them as they are. So, I hope you enjoy the 6 "-styx" monsters I've created.

Remember, what you see now is only the beginning. I hope to add even more cards to this archetype, making it even stronger than it is now! What do you think is too weak? Too strong? Tell me, and I'll try to improve it! Also, if you're wondering, the main idea of the archetype (for now) is to fill the field with the 6 "-styx" right now, which would mean you need to have a total Pendulum Scale of
<8 / 1> to make it work. But, when you do, these cards can be pretty good!

 

MAJOR EDIT 1: The first Card Pack for my Archetype is finished, complete with 18 Cards - 10 Monsters, 6 Spells, and 2 Traps.

CnC always appreciated~

 

EDIT 1: 10/15/15 - Added 4 new Monsters to the Archetype, The first 4 Spells, and the first Trap. More to come later!

EDIT 2: 10/16/15 - Fixed card text & attack on "Forstyx Ferris", Fixed "Two Verstyx One" OP text; made destruction eff and added Summon limit, Balanced out "Flare, Lost Soul of the Destyx"'s ATK and DEF.

[Rakkis157]

There's a 12 hour rule for bumps, I believe.

[Sluggaholic]

Bump. Gonna be adding a few more cards, Spell and traps, all of them, and some more "-styx" monsters.

 

EDIT: Done... aaaand... Done.

[Sluggaholic]

Bump.

[♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪]

"Flare, Lost Soul of the Destyx" is too powerful for a vanilla, lower it's attack to about 1900-2000 and also lower the defense to 0-500, "Two Verstyx One" can turn the tables around, because it gives a boost, and it allows the monster to attack all. "Forstyx Ferris" is also too powerful, plus it can attack all monster your opponent controls, I suggest lowering down it's attack too about 1500 because it also gains 200 attack for every "-styx" monster

[Sluggaholic]

Yeah, I was wondering about that when it came to Flare, but to be honest, I wanted the archetype to have a powerful normal beater it could just bring out whenever. I'll lower his attack to 2100 to compensate, though. I still want him to be one of the strongest level 4 vanillas, up there with Alexandrite Dragon.

 

As for Two Verstyx One, it was supposed to be a table turner, allowing you to come back from behind, and even out the playing field. I'll edit the card text as to balance it out some more.

 

As for "Ferris", there isn't much I can change without him becoming too weak for the archetype. You see, he's supposed to be the most powerful base "-styx" monster, hence why he can attack all monsters your opponent controls and has such high attack. He's supposed to clear the way for the other "-styx" to smash into the opponent's life points directly. I'll drop his attack points, but not by too much, as he has to have highest attack of all the base, non-Pendulum "-styx".

[Sluggaholic]

ANNOUNCEMENT: The first of many card packs is FINISHED for the "-styx" Archetype! The next one will becoming out shortly, and will introduce the first two "Boss" monsters of the deck, along with a new (related?) Archetype to the "-styx". Stay tuned!

 

Until then, have a good one!
