Mythology Set (UPDATED)

[pppaulius]

Starting a new set, this will not hinder my Pokemon progress at all (i hope). I hope to do as many mythologies as wide as possible for fun YGO experience... Some stuff may not be mythologically correct but made so for convenience but I will try to be as accurate as possible...A lot of artwork comes from an awesome artist GENZOMAN, check his page out on DeviantART.

The artwork really is amazing. I guess since these are all high-level monsters a player would choose a few of them to add to an existing deck with lower-level monsters, huh? I mean, you can't summon these guys without material or tributes. I'm also concerned about the immunity effect the "Olympian" monsters have, because it means that even the "Titan" monsters cannot affect them, nor Divine-Types. The part about which I am unsure is whether Olympians could be considered as less mortal than humans. Ironically, they are portrayed as being mortal (at least to certain types of attacks) in Immortals, and they have killed each other, and been killed, by Titans in the myths, I believe.

 

Fortunately, as Lords of the Underworld, Hades and Uranus (or was it 'Pluto)?' could theoretically send Monster Cards back to your hand or Deck from the Graveyard.

[pppaulius]

Thanks for the points, I may edit something with the effects. Yeah the idea is to have one of them as a boss monster similar how Team Ragnarok had one God a person. Initially I intended to let the Titans have more ATK than Olympians but keep the immunity but I guess that went nowhere so I'll edit that.

 

P.S. Pluto is the Roman equivalent of Hades. IDK why wikipedia says he is Greek, actually Romans changed the name.

[pppaulius]

Updated the old Olympians and added few new ones.

[Xi-1]

Change is good, yet I find myself always suspicious of effect immunity when applied to more than one card type. Yours, however, is not 'blanket immunity,' as the Olympians are still vulnerable to Monster Card effects. I just wonder if this is sufficient as a balancer. On your card for Eris, it mentions choice, but I have yet to find out what the choice is. Also, for Hades which Graveyard does his effect affect?

You can choose either have the effect activated or not, normally you wouldn't want your opponent to get +3 cards but it also discards his/her hand and burns so there's a choice...

 

Hades affects only your Graveyard for the cost and either for SS.

[pppaulius]

Greek gods finished

[pppaulius]

Added "Hercules"

[pppaulius]

Updated

[Darthakin]

Euh, Pluto is Greek. Originally Hades was the name of the underworld and everything in it with as ruler of it "Pluto". Later on this changed to Hades due to bad transfers. 

-> references: The oddysey, Illiad, Heracles' Takss.

Not true, Pluto is the name of the Roman god of the underworld, Hades is the Greek version but the underworld is also called Hades.

[Darthakin]

"not true" Look pal. If you wanna discuss Greek myhtology with a Greek mythology /teacher/ on university level, at least talk some sense. Either go read some more, or shut up, but don't act as if you know it better than me. 

 

Quote from "The twelve tasks of Hercules": 

And so he decended into Hades with Hermes and Athena, as he ventured into the darkness he met Charon who stood in his boat, oar in hand. "Why does a living mortal decsend into Hades? With Gods no less" Hercules answered that he had to talk to Pluto, and as the two gods commanded he had no choise to bring HEracles to the other side. Heracles walked towards the gates of death where Cerberus, a three headed beast with fifty snakes all over his back, stood, The beast barked and growled at Heracles, but as his task was, he could not stop anyone from entering Hades. Heracles would not take Cerberus without Pluto's concent. So he went to Pluto. "What are you doing here Mortal and cousin" The God of the underworld demanded him. "I was sent here bty Eurystachus (I dont recall the correcr spelling atm + I am dyslectic) To take Cerberus back to Mycaenae. Pluto decided that he could Cerberus with him, but only if Heracles could defeat the beast with his bare hands. Heracles ................ and after showing the beast to E., whom cowered in fear, back to The Hades.

[pppaulius]

OK since this argument has nothing to do with the cards I'll set it straight: Hades is the ancient Greek name for the God of Underworld, eventually the name was given to the whole underworld and the Greeks started calling it Pluto, the quoted text is relatively "new" therefore it refers to Hades as Pluto and calls the Underworld - Hades. Since I'm trying to keep the ancient spirit alive, my card is and forever will remain as Hades, Thank You Very Much!!!

[Darthakin]

^

almost agreed. 

it was Pluto then Hades then Pluto. You're smarter than the last guy at least.

[pppaulius]

Added 7 new cards.

[Darthakin]

they're all very good. One thing, Kraken, isn't it a bit OP? Being able to destroy everything, being special summoned just by revealing two extra deck cards? Although... needing umi face-up is a good counter for it... Well done :B

[pppaulius]

Yes it could be kind of OP but yeah it basically needs an active field spell and an opponent who can't see it coming so it's kind of a punishing card plus Umi could really be a dead card and if you would make it Limited or so on it could be a risky card to add to your Deck and it's effect would be a high risk (a lot of dead handing possible) high reward (very specific conditions for a uber effect)... So I think it could be worked with on the current format. I've seen worse XD

[Darthakin]

Seeing worse on this site is not hard :p Anyways, Good cards so far. Different from my style, but good none the less. I kep my myth card to their mytholoical powers. (ofcourse my Olimpian Poseidon, Lord of the Sea" destroys every card too... ) 

[pppaulius]

Added a new Olympian and some new monsters.

[pppaulius]

Added new Greek Monsters, Greek mythology about half through...

[pppaulius]

More Greek Heroes incoming!!!

[AidanTheSneaky]

These are so awesome! I really love them, since most pop culture cards do not have much work put into them.

[vdbigbang]

In my opinion, best cards on Greek Mythology with the artworks of Genzo so far. Do you plan to make more of these ?In my opinion, best cards on Greek Mythology with the artworks of Genzo so far. Do you plan to make more of these ?

[A.Prime]

Those cards are great! Perfect Lores, the images are overused though... but over all you did a great job! Also the card template is from YuGiCo and it's away cooler than YCM's template.

10/10 from me!

[WhyDidIJoinThis-.-]

This deserves to be in real section XD I really like these cards, they look great, and the overall feel is very appealing. I basically just, agree with Prime. Even though the pictures may be overused, they still look awesome. That is all.
