[Written] Pokerchip Archetype (13/13)


Atypical-Abbie

Recommended Posts

Pokerchip is an Archetype I have wanted to build for a while now, but was not sure what direction I should take them. All I knew was that they were Counter based, and they were themed around poker. Though now here we are, and think that their playstyle turned out pretty fun. They are Level 4 Machine-Type/DARK monsters, each with 2 effects, one that places counters and one that removes them. They work best as long as your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, though can work without that. They also have Spell/Trap Cards that also support placing counters.

 

Main Deck Monsters:

 

Pokerchip Raiser
Machine-Type/DARK
Level 4
When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned: You can place 1 Pokerchip Counter on it. If your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, you can place 2 Pokerchip Counters instead. You can remove any number of Pokerchip Counters from this card; all "Pokerchip" monsters you control gain 200 ATK and DEF for each Pokerchip Counter removed until the end of the next turn. You can only activate each effect of "Pokerchip Raiser" once per turn.
1700/100

Pokerchip Cutter
Machine-Type/DARK
Level 4
You can discard 1 card; excavate the top 5 cards of your Deck, then you can add 1 excavated "Pokerchip" card to your hand, otherwise sent the excavated cards to the Graveyard, also after that, if your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, you can place 1 Pokerchip Counter on this card for each excavated "Pokerchip" card with a different name. You can remove 2 Pokerchip Counter from this card, then target 1 "Pokerchip" monster in your Graveyard, except "Pokerchip Cutter"; Special Summon that target, but its effects are negated. You can only activate each effect of "Pokerchip Cutter" once per turn.
1500/1200

Pokerchip Dealer
Machine-Type/DARK
Level 4
You can target 1 other "Pokerchip" card you control, then discard 1 card; place 2 Pokerchip Counters on that target. You can remove 2 or more Pokerchip Counters from cards you control; draw 1 card. If your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, you can draw 1 more card for each 2 Pokerchip Counters removed. You can only use each effect of "Pokerchip Dealer" once per turn.    
500/1700

Pokerchip Caller
Machine-Type/DARK
Level 4
If you activate a "Pokerchip" Spell/Trap Cards: You can place 1 Pokerchip Counter on this card. If your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, you can activate this effect when you activate a "Pokerchip" monster effect, except by the effect of "Pokerchip Caller". You can remove 1 Pokerchip Counter from this card; immediately after this effect resolves, Normal Summon 1 "Pokerchip" monster from your hand. You can only use each effect of "Pokerchip Caller" once per turn

When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can remove all Pokerchip Counters from 1 "Pokerchip" card you control; your opponent discards 2 cards (or their entire hand if less than 2), then they draws 3 cards. If your opponent has more cards in their hand than you do, you can make your opponent discard exactly 3 cards instead, then they draw 4 cards. You can only use each effect of "Pokerchip Shark" once per turn.

alright- i have maybe a small niggling issue about this. so the primary aim is to get the  counters out- but there is no set 'method' that this archetype follows. may i suggest putting more emphasis on excavation and graveyard effects? (much like sylvans)

 

(also isnt this the wrong section?)

There isn't suppose to be a set method, not all Decks have to follow one. I tend to do that though, but I felt like making them all have different ways of doing it.

 

They're on Duel Portal, so I posted them here, a lot of people do that.

oh right XD fair enough. sorry I'm used to set formats- means that decks have greater synergy. but then I'm used to making support for existing stuff… all in all the archetype is pretty good actually- and the errata seems impeccable to my eyes. however, i do feel like instance should be a trap 'equip'? just an ocd niggle there
