Bleaknight Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Seraph This is the Seraph archetype, an archetype of angels and seraphs based on Rituals with Fire Formation-like mechanics. Their basic mechanic is as following: They have effects that Set "Hallowed Chant" cards directly from your Deck. These cards not only grant them searches or generally great effects, they also are used as a Ritual Spell Card, and they can be used to activate the monsters's effects. Not much else to say, other than enjoy. [spoiler='non-Ritual Monsters'] Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; add 1 "Seraph" or "Hallowed" card from your Graveyard to the hand. Once per turn: You can send 1 face-up "Hallowed" Spell/Trap Card you control to the Graveyard to target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. During the End Phase of the turn this card was Normal Summoned: You can Set 1 "Hallowed" Trap Card directly from your Deck. Once per turn: You can send 1 face-up "Hallowed" Spell/Trap Card you control to the Graveyard to target 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; destroy it.

If you Ritual Summon a "Seraph" Ritual Monster using this card: You can Set a number of "Hallowed" Spell/Trap Cards directly from the Deck equal to the number of other monsters you Tributed from the hand or field for the Ritual Summon. When you Ritual Summon a "Seraph" Ritual Monster, you can banish this card from your Graveyard as 1 of the Tributes. A monster Ritual Summoned using this card gains 500 ATK and DEF and cannot be destroyed by battle. You can Tribute this card; Set 1 "Hallowed" Spell/Trap Card directly from your Deck.

You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Hallowed" card. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "Hallowed" card you control to target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card.

Bleaknight Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 New card added! You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Hallowed" card. When you do: You can add 1 "Seraph" monster from your Deck to your hand. Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1: You can activate this effect; for the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards or monster effects, but you cannot enter the Battle Phase and you can only activate 1 card/effect that destroys a card(s) on the field. For when you just NEED to get back on your feet. (Also, note that Hallowed Chant - Brigade can Ritual Summon this card alone if you have it in your hand.)

ShinkenFlo Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Very nice set! love "sounding the seventh trumpet"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Reminds me of Fire First. Nice Ritual archetype, has a nice speed too it and is a well supported Type/Attribute to boot. Fortune gives the archetype a "Gishki Shadow/Vision", which are the only reasons why Gishki become even slightly good. The other low levels offer a Djinn approach, without added effects. Really good, very speedy due to the Hallowed Chants, and the 7th Trumpet is downright amazing speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good, very speedy due to the Hallowed Chants, and the 7th Trumpet is downright amazing speed. They should resemble Fire Fists since their initial Ritual concept is very inspired by the Fire Formations. It is a pretty strong archetype, according to my testings, also. Thanks for the comments!I have a few additions. When this card is activated: You can target 1 face-up monster; this turn, that target's effects are negated, but it is unaffected by other Spell/Trap effects. You can send this face-up card to the Graveyard; Tribute monsters from your field or hand whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of a "Seraph" Ritual Monster in your hand and Ritual Summon that monster. A weaker Forbidden Lance/Chalice hybrid for the theme. You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Hallowed" card. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "Hallowed" card you control to target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip that target to this card. This card gains 1500 ATK and DEF for each monster equipped to it. If this card would be destroyed, destroy 1 monster equipped to it instead. You can Tribute 2 monsters equipped to this card; Set 1 "Hallowed Chant" Spell/Trap card directly from the Deck. A Relinquished homage and stun-heavy option. You can Ritual Summon this card with any "Hallowed" card, and the Tributes must include a "Seraph" Ritual Monster. Once, while this card is face-up on the field, when a monster would be Summoned OR a Spell/Trap Card is activated: You can negate the Summon or activation and destroy that card. You can Tribute 1 "Hallowed" card you control to target 1 monster on the field; destroy it. When this card is destroyed: Destroy the card that destroyed it, also Special Summon 1 "Seraph" monster from your hand or Graveyard. THE boss for the Seraphs. A one-time Solemn Judgment, DAD-like effect and an effect on destruction that ensures this monster isn't leaving the field without taking down its enemy with it.
