[Finished]Cardathon Contest!

Recommended Posts

[size=3]Welcome to the Cardathon Contest![/size]
[size=3]This will basically be a series of events that will count as one whole.[/size]

[size=3]We've seen a lot of archetypes over the past few years, and most of them have been about swarming faster than the one before them and then making boss monsters that negate a lot of stuff and can deal tons of dmg by themselves.[/size]
[size=3]What I'd like to see is a deck that is NOT about swarming and then massive Synchro/Xyz.[/size]

[size=3]On to the contest:[/size]

[size=3]For the first round I am looking for an Archetype that uses a Type that doesn't get too much use nowadays.[/size]
[size=3]The Strategy of the Archetype can be whatever you want as long as it abides by the rules.[/size]


[size=3]Round 1:[/size]

EntryFee: 15 points.

So the results:

[spoiler=Synchro Tuner]
Your set looks really nice, but there's a couple of things:
The first card: he's hard to pull off, seeing as you need exactly 3 lvl 1 monsters the only viable target
I can see is Shadow Armor. However with the massive recycle that's built in with this type it could work out,
but it IS pretty situational. Most of the cards were good, Only Shadow Armor had me worried about a herpderp spam loop and Defender seemed a tad strong since he can search ANY card as long has he remains on the field for 1 turn.
Final verdict: this archetype has great utility I really like it, good work.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=AxiDivadis]
Frist off let me say that I LOVE this idea, it looks really fun to play, it's fast paced and has some great possibilities.
Keeping in mind that the banish is until the EndPhase I still think that the field spell totally breaks them. Nearly all of the cards have some way of banishing cards from your opponent and then returning themselves and blocking only their return seems really harsh(as you can banish multiple cards in one swoop)
Dasher also seems to be able to trigger on it's own effect(having multiple copies) giving access to some serious herpderp swarm + field bombing. Combine that with the field spell's effect and I guess you can see my beef with it.
Otherwise this set is really promising.
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Creativity: 4/4[/background][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Viability: 2/2[/background][/size][/font][/color]
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][background=rgb(251, 253, 254)]Total: 8.5/10[/background][/size][/font][/color]
