[Finished]Archetype Competition #2

Recommended Posts

[size=4]yep, it's another archetype competition, this time with higher stakes, a longer deadline, and larger archetypes.

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]the goal of this competition is to create a small set of cards that create an archetype. An archetype consists of cards of similar theme that all work together, like the Elemental Hero archetype, the Lightsworn archetype, the Fortune Lady archetype, the Guardian archetype, and the Six Samurai archetype.[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]The only criteria for this archetype is that the cards:[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]1.Follow a theme[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]2.Support each other in some way, shape or form[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]3.perform entirely independently (without any help from any cards not in the archetype)[/background][/font]


[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]This time, the limit on the amount of cards has been extended to 15. Some cards of your archetype can be real cards, but at least 2 cards must be original and your archetype must consist of at least 3 cards.[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Entry fee: 25 points (to enter, click my name, then click the "donate points button" and donate the points, you will then be entered)[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]1st place prize: number of people who entered x20[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]2nd place prize: 25 points[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]3rd place prize: 10 points[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]I will judge you based on the following:[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]1. balancing. No overpowered cards[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]2. formatting. Make sure that it's like a real Yugioh card (for example, the single digits on atk/def should always be 0), also, your theme consistency will also be judged here[/background][/font]
[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]3. Resonance. How well the cards perform together. Do too well in this category and it will harm balancing.[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]I will not judge with points.[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]The theme can be anything (with the exception of naked people, etc.)[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]The deadline is on the 25th or until 5 or more people have entered and all people who have entered have presented their cards.[/background][/font]

[font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]good luck to you.[/background][/font]

I have 2 questions:

1. Am I allowed to post a link to my set instead? I already made it in the RC and posting it here all over again is too time taking for me.

2. My Archetype is designed to work in synergy with Warrior Decks that can swarm. Is this allowed?
[/quote]
1. you can post a link to your set of cards, so long as it isn't hard to get to from the link.

2. you can include real/unrelated cards in your archetype, like how fortune ladies rely heavily on future visions, but 1.if the theme on those warriors are very different from your archetype, it will hurt your chances a little (unlike how both the fortune ladies and future visions are both whimsical), and 2. there's a 15 card limit to your archetype.

Yeah. I have another set with 28+ cards but seeing as you only allow 15 cards, I have to go with this one.

This contest entry contains spoilers to the story [i]Magister Negi Magi[/i]. Reader discretion is advised.
[spoiler=Xi-1's Entry]
The Archetype for this one, in case the Set ID does not clue you in, is "Magi," which is Latin for 'mage,' just in case you did not already know. Once I knew what I was doing I wanted to go at it from an unusual angle: instead of a story-driven group, I tried to assemble cards that would work well together as an adventuring, dungeon-crawling team. To this, I am going to include some Fusion Monsters and Spell Cards. This is my result. numbering 15 cards.

A note, too, about the "Unique" circulation note: had there been enough room on each card I would put "You cannot have more than 1 card of this name in your Deck, Extra Deck, or Side Deck combined." This is what "Unique" denotes.
[spoiler=Tier-1 Monsters]
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI101yue.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each turn place 1 Counter on this card (max 5). It gains 500 ATK per Counter. Tribute 2 Counters to negate 1 attack. Tribute this card with 5 Counters to Special Summon "Magistra Magi - Yue Ayase" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI102asuna.jpg[/img]
Lore: "If a Spell targets this card in battle, negate and destroy it. If this card battles a FIEND-Type or Token, destroy it before calculating damage: Special Summon "Ministra Magi - Asuna, Bellatrix Kanka" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI103nodoka.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each time a Spell or Trap is activated place 1 Counter on this card (max 5). Tribute 2 Counters to negate 1 Spell or Trap. Tribute this card with 5 Counters to Special Summon 'Ministra Magi - Hunter Nodoka' from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI104konoka.jpg[/img]
Lore: "All other SPELLCASTER-Types you control gain 400 ATK and DEF. Each turn you can negate 1 Monster, Spell, or Trap Card's effect on 1 monster you control."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI105Bnegi.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Place 1 Counter(s) on this card (max 5) each time you activate 1 effect once per turn: - Negate and destroy 1 Equip Spell. -Negate 1 attack: reduce the attacking monster's ATK by this card's ATK. Tribute this card with 5 Counters to Special Summon "Magister Magi Negi" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Tier-3 Monsters]
Yes, there are not any Tier-2 monsters. This is more of a snapshot of the characters than a story-driven evolution of the same.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI301yue.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each turn you can negate 1 Monster, Spell, or Trap Card's effect. Every other turn you can discard 1 card from your hand to copy 1 Spell on the field or in either Graveyard (max 3 turns)."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI302asuna.jpg[/img]
Lore: "If this card battles a FIEND-Type or Token, destroy it and skip the Damage Phase. If a Spell targets this card, negate and destroy it. Every 3rd turn this card can gain 1000 ATK until the End Phase. If you control a card with "Negi" in its name, both cards gain 500 ATK and DEF."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI303nodoka.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each turn you can negate and destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card, and negate 1 Monster Card's effect or attack. While you control this card, all other "Magi" monsters you control gain 250 ATK and DEF."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI304konoka.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each turn you can negate the effect of 1 Monster, Spell, or Trap Card on 1 monster you control, or destroy 1 Equip Spell. If this card is an attack target you can Special Summon "Ministra Magi - Setsuna" and make it the target."
*Note: I did not include "Setsuna" because "Asuna" already covers much of her effect, except for protecting "Konoka." I decided to focus on other cards instead.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Tier-4 Negi]
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI401negi.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Each turn destroy up to 3 Equip Spells and negate 1 attack or change the target to this card: Add 1 Counter(s) (max 3). Tribute this card with 3 Counters to Fusion Summon "Raiten Sousou Negi.""
*Note: The centerpiece for this archetype set is Yue instead of Negi, so I did not include "Raiten Sousou Negi." Also, "Magister Magi Negi" is powerful enough already, I think.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Spells]
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI601oculuscorvinus.jpg[/img]
Lore: "You can treat this card as an Equip Spell if it is stacked on "Mile Vincula." Each turn you can activate 1 effect:
-Ask your opponent to reveal up to 3 cards in his/her hand, or the top 3 cards in his/her Deck.
-Look at the top or bottom 5 cards in your Deck and rearrange them.
If this card is destroyed, send it to the bottom of the Deck."
*Note: Already close to 15, I did not include "Mile Vincula." Its effect allows Negi to use any of his Ministras' Artifact Spell Cards, just as it does in-story.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI602megalo.jpg[/img]
Lore: "All SPELLCASTER-Types gain 300 ATK and DEF. All "Minister" or "Ministra" monsters gain 250 ATK and DEF, All "Magister" and "Magistra" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF. The cost to Tribute Summon all "Magi" monsters is reduced by 1. This card is not destroyed when a Field Spell not depicting a landscape is played."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI602pactio.jpg[/img]
Lore: "Choose a Level 6 or higher "Magi" monster you control and designate it as "Magister." Choose any other "Magi" monster you control and designate it as "Minister." If both monsters are Level 6 or higher a 2-way Pactio is possible. Increase the Minister's ATK and DEF by 200x the Magister's Level. Add an Equip Spell from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. That Spell is sent to the bottom of your Deck whenever it is destroyed (treated as an Artifact)."
*Note: This is the big one for helping this archetype. It took me a while to find a way to express it more in line with what I expected its OCG would be.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Fusion Monsters]
Because of the card limit, and power limitations, I only included a couple. They show the greater potential that some of the cards have, and I especially wanted these two to get to show that off. Everyone has a Fusion Monster card, and some of them are combinations with other Ala Alba members. Had I had more space I would have included Nodoka's, for certain. The UNIQUE denotation is extremely important for these Fusion Monsters, as they prevent the player from trying to cheat the system by banishing low-level copies in place of the higher ones.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI801yue.jpg[/img]
Lore: "You can Fusion Summon this card by banishing 2 "Yue Ayase" cards. Each turn you can negate up to 3 cards' effects of any type. You can copy 1 Spell in either field or Graveyard (max 3 turns). Once per turn you can negate 1 attack or change the attack's target to this card."
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v128/B-Nuts/Contest%20YGO%20Cards/MAGI802asuna.jpg[/img]
Lore: "You can Fusion Summon this card by banishing 2 "Asuna Kagurazaka" cards. If this card battles a FIEND-Type or Token, skip the Damage Step. Discard 1 card from your Deck to negate 1 Spell or Monster Card's effect. If you control a card with "Negi" in its name, it and this card gain 800 ATK."
[/spoiler]
And that's it -- if you can call 15 cards 'it.' Have fun with the grading!

Introducing automated Apes
and
Simians of the skies!

[spoiler="Mekapes (3)"][img]http://i.imgur.com/MYn49.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]If this card is destroyed by battle: Add 1 "Mekape" or "Air Ape" card from your Deck to your hand. If this card destroys a monster by battle: You can Special Summon from your Deck or Graveyard 1 Machine-Type monster.[/spoiler]

Tuner #1. I wish the ATK crop weren't such a toilet tragedy.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/UWEgt.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]During your Main Phase 1, if you control a Beast-Type monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Summoned: Special Summon from either Graveyard in Defense Position 1 monster that was destroyed this turn.[/spoiler]

Now this guy rocks. Not only can you get free cards from his effect, he makes instant Synchros happen.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/ETQBZ.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]When this card is Summoned: Target 1 Spell or Trap Card; if this face-up card would be destroyed, banish that target instead. You can send 1 "Mekape" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard; destroy this card.[/spoiler]

A quick plus and setup.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="Synchro Monsters (3)"][img]http://i.imgur.com/u85Gs.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]1 Beast-Type Tuner + 1 non-Tuner Machine-Type monster
If a "Mekape" or "Air Ape" monster(s) (anywhere) would be sent to the Graveyard by your opponent, you can discard 1 card instead. If the discarded card was a Beast-Type monster: You can Special Summon it.[/spoiler]

Tanks and accelerates.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/aAiFU.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]1 Beast-Type Tuner + 1 non-Tuner Machine-Type monster
When a card or effect is activated: You can banish this card. When a Chain resolves: You can Special Summon this card that was banished by this effect.[/spoiler]

Barring something like Forbidden Lance or BLS, it's not likely that this guy will [i]ever [/i]die.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/ePEJb.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]1 or more Beast-Type Tuners + 1 or more non-Tuner LIGHT monsters
When this card is Summoned: Until the End Phase, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects, and you can take control of any monster this card battles after Damage Calculation.[/spoiler]

Big guy (Level 10). Can be made with 2 Tuners and a non-Tuner, or with 1 Tuner and 2 non-Tuners, etc. [/spoiler]

[spoiler="Air Apes (2)"][img]http://i.imgur.com/u2qQI.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]During each of your Main Phases, you can Normal Summon 1 Machine-Type monster in addition to your Normal Summon or Set. When this card is flipped face-up: Add 1 "Mekape" card from your Deck to your hand.[/spoiler]

Tuner #2. Instant Synchro with Juggorilla. Flipping should be rare.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/afTbz.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:"]This card attacks your opponent directly. When this card inflicts Battle Damage: Destroy it. When this card is destroyed: You can Special Summon 1 "Air Ape Bomkey" or 1 "Mekape" monster from your Graveyard.[/spoiler]

It can ONLY attack directly, like Inaba White Rabbit. Combos with Vector.[/spoiler]

[spoiler="Support (3)"][img]http://i.imgur.com/b7UKn.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:]Tribute 1 Beast-Type monster to target 1 Machine-Type monster in your Graveard; Special Summon it and equip it with this card. The equipped monster gains ATK equal to the Tributed monster's ATK (on the field). When the equipped monster destroys a monster by battle: Draw 1 card for each "Ape" monster you control.[/spoiler]

Not a "Mekape" card. Works nicely with Juggorilla.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/nqGT4.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:]Banish from your Graveyard 1 Beast-Type monster and 1 Machine-Type monster; Special Summon 1 "Banny Token" (Beast-Type/DARK/Level 3/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) and 1 "Clang Token" (Machine-Type/LIGHT/Level 3/ATK 1000/DEF 1000). Then you can reveal 1 Tuner monster in your hand; treat 1 monster you control as a Tuner.[/spoiler]

Dead for a while, then instant Synchro for 6.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/m8Khi.jpg[/img]
[spoiler="Lore:]When a card or effect is activated that would negate the Summon of a "Mekape" monster OR the activation of a "Mekape" monster's effect: Negate the activation of that card or effect and destroy it, then you can Special Summon up to 3 Beast-Type monsters from your Graveyard, but their effects on the field are negated.[/spoiler]

"May I question the morality of altering my mostly organic form by way of scientific advancement? Forgive my presumption."[/spoiler]

I guess I can only hope you'll give some explanation later so I can learn from this, because otherwise there wasn't any real point in my competing. At least it wasn't too costly.
[/quote]
Your magistra cards~~~ they were quite good.
However,
your loss was primarily due to the competition. Although yours are by far the most balanced (and without being weak) they (the other competitors) have the effects I was looking for in an archetype, they actively contribute to each other and depend on one another.

why don't you host #3?
