  • 2 weeks later...

After scanning through it; (didn't really look at balancing)
I can only say 2 things about it.

1. The archetype is great the pictures and "feel" of the theme works really well, though like I said I didn't analyse for balancing
2. Monsters ATK and DEF are meant to be multiples of 50. You can't have 2340 Atk :P

I'll analyse balancing another time, but for the most part great work!

Okay, this archetype was pretty interesting for me, not only cause it's the first non-reptile ATK decreasing archetype I've seen but also because of the non-50 divisible ATK and DEF. 

 

Review Start:

 

First, I'd like to know if: 

  • Are the decreasing effects permanent?
  • I seem to have a hard time to under stand Unfotunate Soldier Lil' Trooper's effect, can I get the detailed info of this?

This archetype seems to be quite challenging to go against, due to: 

  • A lot of the Main Monster's effs can be activated during either player's turn
  • The ATK decreasing eff can be very devasting on this archetype (It's pretty good, I must say)
  • The high swarming capability due to cards like: Zenna, Ghost, Rayhead and Steve  (With Zenna's swarming capabilities being the best)

 

I will only list the cards who I seem to see a mistake/imbalance in since , I will do an individual card review once I wake up later (3 am atm xD):

  • The Unfortunate Battlefield: I believe the "The effect of  "The Unfortunate Battlefield"  can only be activated once per duel. Should be changed to : "This effect of..." and not "The".
  • The Unfortunate Surprise Attack: "decreased to" should be "decreased by" I believe.

As of now, those are the things I seem to see a mistake in. I will look  more into all of the cards later. 

 

EDIT! (6/24/2013)- I just looked into all the cards. No problems esp after the update you did. Nice job on the archetype! ^ ^

Anything that doesn't say until the End Phase is permanent and now that you pointed it out to me Steve is a little op with his halving currently being permanent. Will change that.


  • I seem to have a hard time to understand Unfotunate Soldier Lil' Trooper's effect, can I get the detailed info of this?
 
 



Let's say that you use The Unfortunate Surprise ATK and flip over a Lil Trooper to decrease an opponent's Stardust Dragon's ATK to 590. Lil Trooper gains the amount deducted from Stardust Dragon which would be 1910, thus making Lil Trooper at 2500.

This archetype seems to be quite challenging to go against, due to: 
  • A lot of the Main Monster's effs can be activated during either player's turn
  • The ATK decreasing eff can be very devastating on this archetype (It's pretty good, I must say)
  • The high swarming capability due to cards like: Zenna, Ghost, Rayhead and Steve  (With Zenna's swarming capabilities being the best)
 

Thank you.

You are actually correct on that. Wasn't quite sure how it should've been worded.


  • The Unfortunate Surprise Attack: "decreased to" should be "decreased by" I believe.
 
 


 
 


Surprise Attack is actually worded properly. With the example I made above with Lil Trooper's effect the opponent's monsters' ATK become the ATK of the flipped monster's, but I put it as decreased instead of become so that the archetype could activate their effects from it.
