SunKistRebelution Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 A friend recently wrote about an idea for a Role Playing topic in which the main character uncovers a "Santa Claus Deck". This inspired me to respond with an idea that all of the protagonist, and perhaps antagonists, should have decks based around childhood/holiday deities. Following suit, this is an archetype I am currently designing that is based on having the Easter Rabbit as its marquis. Following with his traditional backstory, most of the effects have to do with Egg Counters. These counters are utilized mainly for effect damage, which is the central focus of this archetype. The secondary focus of this archetype is discarding cards to gain advantages, e.g. enhancing capabilities for effect damage. Not following with his traditional backstory, I decided to re-envision the Easter Bunny himself, along with whatever underlings he might have at his disposal, as a Special Ops Unit known as the 'E-Stars'. Enough of my rambling, here is the archetype! [spoiler='WARNING!'](Be warned: There is a surprising lack of XYZs here.)[/spoiler] [spoiler='Monsters'] [img]http://yugico.com/customcard/130982.jpg[/img][spoiler='Lore']You may Special Summon this card (from your hand) by banishing 4 “E-Star” Monsters in your Graveyard.

When any of your Monsters with at least 1 Egg Counter is destroyed, inflict 200 points of damage to your opponent for each Egg Counter on the destroyed Monster.

Aix Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The RP is up. Just click the link in my signature. Commander Hare, IMO, is reasonably balanced for a boss monster. I would say that, realistically, Egg-Layer can be really cheap because he's basically a Upstart Goblin without a drawback, though Upstart's drawback doesn't matter in FTK decks, but the general idea is that you would have 6 Upstarts now. eGO amos the monsters, they seem to work quite well. But, I have a question/comment:[b]So does the effect of increasing ATK stack? So if you have multiple monsters then you would get like 400 ATK for each counter? (Don't worry, that's not unfair, Aliens work that way). Also, if that is the case, then you can't have the effect still apply when the monster is in the Graveyard (I'm talking about the cards you discard and your Spells/Traps, they can't apply their effects, otherwise that's too cheap). But otherwise its okay and well-balanced, though I'm not too sure about consistency (though that shouldn't be too much of a problem in an RP).[/b] The Spells seem fine as well. I suggest put a searcher somewhere. Shrapnel seems quite useless but will be great in an RP. Missile is balanced by the mere fact that it is a trap. Overall, good job!

SunKistRebelution Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Just posted. Thanks for your comments. To answer your questions: No they do not stack. Say you have four Monsters on the field all with an Egg Counter. Each one only gains 100 ATK. If you have a Monster with four Egg Counters on it, it gains 400 ATK. I will add a searcher. EDIT: Added searcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunKistRebelution Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Any thoughts on XYZ or Synchro support here? I have a backup Tuner if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I would suggest going with Synchro seeing as how many monsters you have are different levels. The synchro should get any counters its material had and be able to use the eggs as... ammunition maybe? Like an egg cannon. And maybe have another one with hand advantage or searching and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunKistRebelution Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I agree, but I don't think this set will need more than two of them, realistically. Also, doesn't anyone else have any input? I want it and could really use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barian Warlord Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Okay well here is what I'll say about the cards, most of them having the same effects for egg counters is a little Opped, besides the effects of the individual cards they also get an auto attack bonus and they burn. I'm seeing a lot of power for a little cost so I think you might want to nerf them a little, maybe distribute those effects some do burn and others gain attack. I made an Easter deck a while ago that give the user a lo of powerful effects at the cost of increasing your Opponent's life points so maybe to place an Easter counter on a card then you need to increase your opponent's life points by like 200 or something instead of burning them. I might be little bias cuz I just saw you 1 turn someone with this deck but I don't think so so please think over what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunKistRebelution Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I assume you saw my post in the OoC, then. I did not intend for it to be that powerful. I mean, the Egg Counters giving the same effect is not a big deal IMO, the real problem is the effect damage caused in addition to the Egg Counters. I am currently attempting to resolve the problem. EDIT: Every Monster who dealt additional burn has had that damage halved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barian Warlord Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 One of the problems I have is cost, most cards have a cost that harms you, your cards use egg counters as a cost but a good number don't use them as a cost and just bring out a lot of power that's why I think you should have a cost for putting egg counters on cards.

SunKistRebelution Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Almost every card that puts the counters on other cards has the cost of discarding it. I don't understand what you're point is. Name 1 other Counter based archetype that has a cost for something that only boosts atk by 100 and deals 200 damage when destroyed, which doesn't include banishing, returning or tributing them. I think the problem in the duel is that I neglected to randomize my hand. Normally I write a program to give me a random starting hand. EDIT: Added E-Star General Cottontail to the Extra Deck. EDIT: Added E-Star General Bun'Knee and E-Star Experimental Unit Thumper to the Extra Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
