BGMaxie Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 This here is my latest CaC project. Night's is a Pendulum Deck, centered on nurturing both Pends and every form of Extra Deck Summon, very much like Odd-Eyes/Performapals/Magicians and D/Ds are turning out to be. [Spoiler=Intro/Background]Inspiration for this Deck came as I was playing D/Ds, and I noticed that how even if they are a Pendulum Deck, they loved the Graveyard. That's where the idea struck me to make a Pendulum Deck with its own selling point, which would be Pends with the ability to go to the Graveyard. What does this do? Well it gives them a new window of possibilities, from old cards like Call of the Haunted. Created cards will give you plusses by moving the Pends on the Grave back to the Extra Deck. Basically rip benefits from using the Grave, throw them to Extra, Pend Summon them, rinse and repeat. The monsters of this Deck are based on the Castlevania series, a franchise I've grown to like a lot these days. This Deck contains ONLY enemies of the series, so don't expect seeing Alucard (which I have used in two other projects), or any Belmont here, although if you've played or otherwise heard a bit of the series, some characters will be evident enough.[/spoiler] Also this Deck is not finished and will update continously. It is my idea to update weekly or biweekly. Support will follow this pattern: Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Generic/Pendulum. The Deck is divided in "Night's Army" (the lesser monsters), "Night's Terror" (the bosses) and the "Sinphony" cards (backrow, the Sin part is intentional). Anyway enjoy your ride. [Spoiler=Main Deck] If a "Night's" monster you control attacks: You can have it gain 400 ATK until the end of the Damage Step. Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card attacks, it gains 400 ATK during Damage Calculation only. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead. You can banish this card from your Graveyard, and place 1 non-Tuner "Night's" Pendulum Monster from your Graveyard into your Extra Deck: Synchro Summon 1 "Night's Terror" Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of both of these monsters. You can only use this effect of "Night's Army Black Crow" once per turn. You can pay 500 LP; Fusion Summon 1 "Night's Terror" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or your side of the field as Fusion Materials, including this card. You can also use this effect from your hand, but if you do, pay 1000 LP instead. You cannot Pendulum Summon monsters except "Night's" monsters. This effect cannot be negated. Each time you Pendulum Summon a "Night's" monster(s). Place 1 Blood Counter on this card. If the 3rd Blood Counter is placed on this card: Destroy this card. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Sinphony" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Night's Army Dark Priest" once per turn. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can Special Summon this card, and if you do, place 1 Blood Counter on a card you can put a Blood Counter, otherwise banish this card if it would be sent to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Night's Army Red Skeleton" once per turn. Once per turn, if a "Night's" monster you control would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can place 1 Level 4 or lower "Night's" Pendulum Monster directly from your Deck, face-up to the Extra Deck. You can only use this effect of "Night's Army Tombstone" once per turn. If you control no other card in your Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your Graveyard; place it on your unused Pendulum Zone. If you control 2 or more face-up Spell or Trap Cards, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy that target. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead. Each time a "Night's" Pendulum Monster is sent to your Graveyard: You can place 1 Blood Counter on this card. You can remove 4 Blood Counters from this card, then target 1 "Night's" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. You can only use this effect of "Night's Terror Grim Reaper Death" once per turn. If a face-up Continous Spell/Trap Card (and no other cards) in your Spell/Trap Card Zone would be destroyed by a card effect: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, that card is not destroyed. Face-up Continuous Spell/Trap Card in your Spell/Trap Card Zone cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead. Once per turn: You can place 1 Blood Counter on this card. "Night's" monsters you control gain 200 ATK per each Blood Counter on this card. If the 4th Blood Counter is placed on this card: Destroy this card. This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's monster effects except in Main Phase 2. During the Battle Phase, this card is unaffected by Spell or Trap Card effects. During the Damage Step when this attacking card battles an opponent's monster: You can tribute 1 other monster you control; this card gains ATK equal to the original ATK of that monster until the end of the Battle Phase. If this card would be sent from the field to the Extra Deck, you can send it to the Graveyard instead.

The Nyx Avatar Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Good so far. Most of their effects seem fair. Unlike me, where my approach was utilizing protagonists as the monsters, your archetype focuses on the enemies. For "Demonic Megiddo", did you mean Tribute?

Targeting there was solely to leave it clear who would be left unscathed while everything else (bar Pend Scales) was scorched, roasted and toasted to hell.

Im the prince of the ring! Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I looked at your comment on my N.N.N.'s and I am glad that you've gave me some things to improve. I'll admit that I've gona a bit overboard on stuff, but i'll improve. Anyway, on to your thing. While it is cool that your artwork is based on the castlevania characters (It's pretty sweet might add) and you did implement pendulums into the mix, but unfortunately, of the monsters, only the pendulums have synergy with each other; i don't find the other monsters to have synergy with the rest of the deck. Because the pendulums tend to want to use their effects to send them to the graveyard instead of the extra deck, it can work for swarms (which is what d/d's are to do), but for doing synchro'ing and fusioning, the cards that want to fuse and want to sync aren't relevant to the overall deck. You may think they do, but while looking at the whole deck, I didn't really find anyway to truly implement the tuner monster and the card that does fusion summon. And while the pendulum monsters do a great job at SS'ing monsters to Xyz summon, the spell that xyz, synchro, or fusion summon does come off as a bit underwhelming. Overall, I do applaud your efforts of making this (don't get me wrong, I really do), but like with my N.N.N.'s they need to be more on the consistent side you know. Anyway, that it all and I hope you do well with your other archetypes. I hope to look forward to your other ones. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall idea which I think I stated in the intro is to dump things in the Graveyard to open the Grave window to use cards other Pend Decks wouldn't be able to use Normally. Use effects that benefit from using the Graveyard (like Black Crow or Poison Mind) in order to place to plus out of placing cards back into the Extra Deck, then the idea would be to Pendulum Summon them back, use them as boss fodder, and rinse and repeat. Theorically you would be able to pull a lot of moves without wasting yourself. I do agree there isn't much Grave to Extra Abuse as of now, but it is something I intend to nurture as well as this develops. Things like returning some to Extra Deck to Special Summon something, or place to Extra Deck to Pop something (much a la Gusto style), are some ideas that can be used but I also want to explore a bit more. I feel like Poison Mind, Walter and Black Banquet have awesome potential to abuse Graveyard and nurture Pendulum too. There will be cards geared solely to the Extra Deck too so the need to place them back will be there. It will be a very tactical Deck in terms of where you want your stuff to be.
