Atypical-Abbie Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Enochian is an Archetype that focuses on Ritual Summons and sending cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard. The non-Ritual Monsters, are Spellcaster-Type monsters with various Attributes, and all have the same last effect that mills cards from your opponent's Deck. The Ritual Monsters are all Fairy-Type/LIGHT monsters going from Level 4-6 and with with one Level 10 monster. The Level 4-6 share the same kind of effect of gaining 200 ATK/DEF for each other Enochian monster you control, an effect that activates when a card is sent from the top of the opponent's Deck to the Graveyard, and a Continuous Effect that protects it against opponent's cards in various ways. They are based on Enochian, an angelic language, which is where the monster's names come from, and the Spell Cards are related to Enochian magic in various ways.

Love of Ghibli Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 What a simplistic and model set of cards, I'm a fan of this. Mill with purpose is very very rare. I have to make the obligatory prep rites abuse statements but that doesn't even hurt the deck because they are so beautiful. What I love about them is that they don't look all that fast meaning set-up and the like are required. Talisman of Planets: That's the decks throw away card. It is slow and so far does not progress the decks winning condition punching people in the face with rituals and maybe milling something useful. This slot would be replaced with Preparation of Rites. Cipher may be a tad powerful though seeing as you can mill a large number of cards and it is searchable in this deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but can't be avoided unless you want to make a Level 8 and higher Archetype each time you make a Ritual Monster Archetype. Talisman's main purpose is to use the trigger effects of the Rituals during the opponent's turn, which can be helpful with Graph, as their Set Spell/Trap Cards cannot be activated, you can easily disrupt Pendulum Summons, negate their effects, make them discard a card, make you draw some cards. Ged, the Enochian Magician can also create a semi-loop with it, since it's effect will activate and grab Talisman again. Cipher, I was thinking about making it only do half of its Level and not having the attacking condition. My point wasn't to make an Archetype that makes the opponent Deck Out, I don't think that's the most effective way to play these, the point of this card is to use it to trigger their effects, and then Tribute it for a Tribute Summon or for a Ritual Summon.

Start from the bottom and work our way to the top: Cipher: With prep rites you're given the 6 on the board which means that you're automatically hitting six off the top. Then if you make another ritual that's potentially 6 more off the top. That is a slow creep there and never the less in that creep you have no cost you only gain. Your opponents mill AND every effect you have on the board triggers. Cipher is just the activation of the deck, which is fine, but if it is going to do that it has to hurt the opponent less. Talisman: Yean no. I understand your point, but I don't agree with it. You don't need to trigger mills on your opponents turn...unless you are doing it to trigger your board of effects which, as I am currently stating in other threads, is down right unfair and disrespectful. Your gamestate shouldn't advance by heavily minusing your opponent IN ADDITION to playing your cards. I mean already this a slippery slope. Your effects trigger when cards get milled meaning something already negative happens to your opponent and you are only able to function off something bad happening to them. Anywho back on topic. When it comes time to make things fluid and deck play needing to be consistent I can tell a random equip card that only serves as the interruptor when your field is already established is going to take a back seat to +1 spell card that searches from your deck and fetches from your grave. Prep Rites: Prep rites needs to be in here. More consistency!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pointed out how it's a powerful yet is what I mean, yet you don't want to use it, which confuses me, as you can easily play it and Rites.

Because the equip is only good IF you have established field presence. If you have Ceph or Mals or any of them already on the field then the you can equip them whereas Rites (which should be maxed out) helps you establish the field presence. Rites helps you get to field you need. This equip is only good after you have the field you need. Second the more I think about, the equip seems like a cheap way to bypass the balance factor of how hard it would be to trigger these rituals effects on your opponents turn. In my opinion you should not in anyway be able to unless the opponent shoots themselves in the foot with cards like Needle Bug Nest or Card Trooper.
