Elven - Siphoning Energy

[SeriouSxMan]

The Elven Archetype is about building up your monsters to be HUGE beatsticks. The elves use tricky effects, to build up their strength. They aren't your average elves of the Light, no they are Dark Elves that drain energy for their benefit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My main concerns right now are:

Is Soul Harvest too overpowered?

Is Wraith too strong?

Is Sanctum balanced?

Is Soul Stone too weak?

 

Criticize as much as you like. I'm open to it, first time making an archetype.

I'd usually wait until there is lore (card's effects) underneath the cards to fix the card effects (OCG) and balance (make them fair) them a bit.

Thanks for the balancing feedback; however, I forgot I posted this on here. I also posted this on DN's forums, and while it was there, the deck has gone through some changes these are those changes. Feel free to put input again if you'd like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The changes summed up are:

• All the monsters, besides Wraith, ATK have been lowered to a 1600-1300 range, plus they all gained Monk's effect, "Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by batlle."
• For Wraith: It was made so that he cannot be Special Summoned by other ways, besides his own effect. His search on summon has be restricted to just Elven Spell cards instead of both Spells and Traps; however he can search not just when he is Special Summoned, he can now do if he happens to be tribute summoned. His DEF also went up 100.
• There's a new Quick-play Spell: Elven Scroll of Might - NOTE: It was either that or this: 
• Sanctum was made so that you can't Summon Elven monsters at all instead of just Special Summoning them. It was also give a "Tensu"-like effect.
• Soul Stone was changed to more "Horn of the Phantom Beast" kind of card to give the deck some draw power; this was because the deck had no way of searching beyond summoning Wraith, and Sanctum being destroyed.
• For Harvest, the monster summoned no longer has its effect negated.
