Awesomely Alliterative Archaic Alphabet Archetype!

Recommended Posts

An Archetype on letters.  Vowels = Tuners, Consonants = Effect, Words (added later) = Synchros

 

This archetype may be overpowered though, so if you think so, tell me and include a suggestion!

I love the concept! 

 

In its present form the Archetype certainly wouldn't be too overpowered as they're all Level 1 Tuners with pretty prohibitive stats, but I assume that later monsters will be more differentiated. The effects remind me a little of Shaddolls in that they have different effects for when they're Summoned and sent to the Graveyard, which I can see getting pretty strong pretty fast so perhaps later on it could be a force, but for now you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

Update 1: F, G, H, I

 

Thanks for your input.  I was thinking that with the Rock-type support cards out there (catapult zone & rock bombardment, specifically), it is actually ridiculously easy to dump cards into the grave using card effects during your opponent's turn.  Though Shaddolls have SSGs, that's only 1 dump card as compared to 2 (with one dumping multiple times hopefully) for Rocks.

 

Maybe I should add a "Once per turn" or "you can only use one effect per turn and only once that turn" clause to make it more balanced?

 

Anyway, thanks again!
