RIP Eidolon Beast (Etherna archetype)

[Kanashimi]

To relieve my disappointment with Eidolon Beast leaks so far, im making my own Summoned Beast archetype, still, i have a good faith on the future S/T support . . . . .

 

Anyway, its called Etherna, portmanteau of Ether/Ethereal and Eterna/Eternal.

 

The story goes with the 2 twin sisters (Etherna Conjurers), specialize in conjuration spells. They can conjure a legendary everlasting creature called "Etherna Aeons". Differ from Eidolon Beast which is Fusion based, this archetype is Pendulum based with a small touch of Fusion. The Conjurer is a Normal Pendulum, while the Aeon is an Effect Pendulum. The idea is Conjurer placed on Pendulum Zone is able to Pendulum Summon (conjuring a creature) the Aeons.

Will add more (1 S/T and the Fusion Monster).

[Dokutah]

interesting approach on Nomi Pendulum i see. arguably (at least in my common sense of Summon Beast legends/myth), this archetype capture the essence of summon beast better than konami eidolon ones.

 

for now i will take the monsters

 

The Sisters: woah those pendulum effect are quite strong. as when it properly set up it you can unleash minimum of 3 monster or 1 early game playmaker and 2 reserve. luckily those effect can only be active once while their face-up + HOPT

 

Centauria: its actually ok since its basically limited MST.

 

Diablo: the Mass-Stun is nice and not overbearing, obviously meant to go together with Centauria for flashy finish

 

Hecatonchier: ah Tower-esque slayer. neat

 

Ifrit: i kinda not comfortable that these guys have their own REFMD. on one hand it seems replaceable (personally) with more copies of Centauria and Diablo since its simply secure your play a bit better by shutdown their play rather than just punish them bit by bit, more so since these guys stats overall it not that shabby . but in the other hand it does help to lower your kill ceiling

 

Quetzalcoalt: im actually liking this effect. as it punish turbo-consistent deck in the meta for trying to spam field presence. but i can't help to not  pity rogue deck with lower consistency to also get punished out of it. personally im gonna broaden were my opponent could banish. like top of the deck or field

 

Veselago: im technically afraid of this card and it make me rethink the archetype as a whole. since im realizing that the archetype is actually quite splash-able to some degree. in case of Veselago  its basically a better Reload that can be searched, activated as many times as you want while disturbing opponent hand advantage + being a decent sized field presence. all i have to do is running Lakshmi and a generic scale 8.

Ifrit: Ummmmmmm . . . . . . because i have an evil intent :p

I mean Ifrit and REFMD combo can burn 1k each activation soooooo there you go, i have other burn eff in mind, i'll change that.

 

Quetzalcoatl: Its . . . not banish, but discard, well i mistype it somehow (im using TCGEditor + Photoshop template, as you can see, there's clear difference between Pendulum effects and Monster effects) and thx to Photoshop i cant copy text from Photoshop to text editor for some weird reason, thats why i typed them again manually.

 

Veselago: Should i limit it to 2-3 random cards reload only instead of all cards? or changing Conjurer restrictions? (say Lakshmi instead of become scale 4, it turns into scale 6, while Parvathi into 7 maybe).

 

Also update:

> Added "Etherna Aeon Bahamut" and "Etherna Aeon Raging Bahamut".

 

Still more S/T and Fusions as promised (e.g Fusion between the Conjurer and the Aeon).

[Dokutah]

Veselago: Should i limit it to 2-3 random cards reload only instead of all cards? or changing Conjurer restrictions? (say Lakshmi instead of become scale 4, it turns into scale 6, while Parvathi into 7 maybe).

 

3 Should be a good number for staying as close to the original, especially if the shuffle is not as predictable so it not ending up as mulligan either. it could be spiced up with some cross player interaction like:

 

Both players choose up to 3 random cards from their opponent hand;  that opponent shuffle all the chosen cards in to the Deck, then draw the same number of cards.

[DuskOkami]

First thing to say is that these cards are beautiful. Second, they are quite a strong, splashable group of cards. Getting to the fusion/win condition doesn't seem that difficult and honestly a tad bit over powered. Bahamut basically makes it hard to destroy by battle or card affects, at least you can attempt again afterwards (by spell/trap since battle becomes nearly impossible after the effect). Raging Bahamut is a true boss monster, nuking a field while you take minor damage for it, interesting to see it has less protection than it's previous form though. Can I ask what the plan was?

Thx . . . . anyway:

 

> A bit/more overpowered because these archetype means to be competitive, that is why i post it on advanced. If you guys have a suggestions to balance them, i will do it. (If there's any broken card/broken combo with these).

 

> As for Bahamut, you can reverse it. Bait him with S/T first then Monster removal, that way you wont be affected much from his mass-battle position changer. Because he's the ultimate Aeon, thats why i make him more stronger.

 

> As for Raging Bahamut, my original plan was making him 1 turn only summon (much like Majestic Star/Red Dragon), but changed it instead. Lack of protection because you dont need it, the moment you summon Raging Bahamut is when you should/already win the duel, given Raging Bahamut + his own eff (uninterrupted) guarantee you 2k damage (from attacking), not to mention if you have another monster(s), 3k-4k damage 1 turn. The easier way to explain is . . . . yknow Bahamut from Final Fantasy series right? His signature move Megaflare, or Zodiark final form in his signature move Final Eclipse, much like that. So Raging Bahamut basically original Bahamut casting the Megaflare, altering his protection skill into sheer power, leaving him defenseless.

 

NOTE: Update pending because im rather busy rn bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Dokutah]

continuing the (current) rest of the cards

 

Bahamut: a nice body that can be special summoned quite easily despite cannot be bypassed by substitutes...capable to prevent opponent to going defensive to some degree. and being immune on top of that. i do have question though, since you don;t mention "face-up" specifically on its position changer effect...would that mean this card can also change face-down to face-up?

 

Raging Bahamut: the unstoppable destruction effects is nice to have and its double drawback is enough to tame the OTK potential

 

Rift: well its a super-searcher that also protect the summoning of your monster, again neat

 

Fusion: well it turn Centauria into real 4ht + copy of MST... and get rid of unwanted scale you use earlier if you got a bad hands. unless you want to create more fusion i think it float effects is okay. otherwise, maybe a bit stricter by actually sent the float cost to Graveyard...its not that dead considering Parvhati, Shift, and Rift can get it back

 

Shift: another card to adjust your scale if your hand happen to be not good. immediately turning bad scale into body that ready to summon on top of that. neat

[Kanashimi]

...would that mean this card can also change face-down to face-up?

Yes

 

Rift is super-searcher while searchable by Terraforming, not to mention Summoner's Art > Lakshmi, Painful Decision/RoTA > Parvathi, well thx to Normal Monster support :3

 

Update:

> Parvathi now can only SS non-Fusion Etherna Aeon, to prevent her easily summoning Etherna Aeon Bahamut.

> Changing Etherna Aeon Ifrit eff so it wont be used in tandem stoopidly with REFMD.

> Nerfing Etherna Aeon Veselago eff, no longer shuffle all cards but up to 3.

> Adding restriction so Etherna Aeon Bahamut so its no longer be Pendulum Summoned, but adding additional Special Summon itself.

> Small restriction to Etherna Aeon Raging Bahamut, can only be Fusion Summoned, and removing last part of its Pendulum eff.

> Etherna Fusion can now be activated during Battle Phase, but said monster wont be able to attack that turn to prevent OTK.

> Finally added "Etherna Magna Yggdrasil" and "Etherna Magna Celestia".

What did you use to create your pendulum cards?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

What did you use to create your pendulum cards?

 

Most likely TCGEditor, which you can find a link to in the stickied thread in General. Or do a quick Google search.

 

I also need to remind you about the Advanced Clause in this section; you can ask these kinds of questions, but you also have to make a comment about how the cards function. 

[Kanashimi]

Update:

> Added the last Trap, Final Cast of the Etherna.
