Maxesmose Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 The will probably work if you make some Rank 2 Spam deck or a beatdown deck. Problem is that a lot of cards don't really help you as much as they should. I'm mainly looking at Omerta, Contract, and Echo herself.Omerta is basically blackwing backlash and that other trap blackwings have. It's a pretty good card at first glance. Maybe getting 3 Violas on the field isn't that hard, but it can be challenging at times (Unless you have tri-wight, then it's just evil). I just don't see a reason why you'd run more than 1 though, since it can brick your hand (You'll probably be going for game anyways).Contract (In my opinion) does 1 thing well: It deck thins. Echo herself is a terrible monster, but I think you'd run 3 of her and 3 of contract just to deck thin. Contract has this second effect which looks good at first glance. But then you read it carefully and notice that 1 important part missing, the "(s)" Part in the word "Monster". Considering that the deck is built around swarming the field (In questionable ways), that is not a good thing at all. You'll never use Contract's last effect.Echo herself does nothing but organize your deck. I see no reason to play her since I can just play Backup and Ambush to get those cards instead of staring at them wondering If deck thinning justifies this situation.I think the deck can do well, but only if built in a certain way. Das all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanashimi Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks for the reply, have you tested them out? (i doubt, the way you replied explains it, or maybe not enough test, as seen how you see Echo :x) Anyway explanation on cards you mention above: > Omerta: Blackwing Backlash? OR Six Sam Triple Strike? hmmmmmm . . . anyway, yes correct, you just need 1, more than 1 mostly brick, OR overkill. Also These archetypes, outside their key cards (Echo and Rosalia, i will explain later why i mention Echo as a key card, whilst you think not), heavily reliant to Field Spell, and a single MST scatter the whole archetypes (because the field give massive boost and protection, without it they're just a bunch of thugs with no power). Omerta sorta like, anything you cant beat via ATK boost (aka battle) Omerta can do it (i do plan on making removal monster, RICO police monster to be exact, would be an ED monsters). Also it clear the field if you want to OTK, so there's that. > Contract: Umm . . . let's skip this and go to Echo instead, also yes lack of (s) is a mistype from me, thx for pointing out. Protection is just bonus to keep the field presence and swarming. > Echo: Halo halo halo . . . . Yknow . . . this deck is based on Vanilla/Normal Monster, why . . . why stacking topdeck effect "does nothing"? Looks like you either underestimate Echo or not yet discover the usefulness of Echo. I'll explain it to you in 2 different perspectives, Echo as a single card for the archetype and Deck, and Echo interactions as a whole in the archetype and Deck. >> Echo as a single card: Like i said, the deck is about spamming and become a beater/beatstick, but they're mostly Vanilla. Say i activated Echo and peek at top 5 cards "Look, the top 2 is Vanilla, wow Raigeki at the bottom 5" see what i mean? If say, just saying you didnt activate Echo/dont run Echo and stacking topdeck, what would happen? Yes youre gonna have a bad time and a bad draw for the next 2 turns (or this turn, if you activated Ambush Dive). And by that example, you can topdeck the said bottom Raigeki to top of the deck via Echo, ready to clear the field~Also stacking 5 cards is strong imo. Even i put hard OPT in it, otherwise soft OPT will do. >> Echo interactions with the Deck: Okay you see, Ambush Dive, Backup Hand, Enchanting Fitting Room, and Rosalia herself, all reliant to "what's coming on my topdeck". Ambush Dive, as its a stronger version of Trade-In, with more discard and you got more draw, you cant just activate Ambush Dive and hope "I believe in the Heart of the Cards" no, thats no. Echo help here, topdeck via Echo, and stack whatever you want at topdeck, and by the time you activate Ambush Dive, you get cards optimally (from top 5 best), instead of rando and pray for luck. Backup Hand, i once activated it without Echo, yknow . . . the first card i excavated was S/T (Family Unite to be exact), and because of that i got nothing from Backup Hand, and again here Echo help you to stack S/T at the bottom and the monster at the top so by the time you activate Backup Hand, you got something out of it, instead of nothing and wait at the start of your Main Phase for the last effect. Enchanting Fitting Room its already excavate 4, and with Echo, you got 1 bonuses if the 5th topdeck is a Vanilla, more to ss. Rosalia, first draw need to be "Viola Rosa", otherwise you got no more bonus (ss and draw more). and Echo (again) help here, to stack the top for Viola Rosa monster, and the 2nd top is the card you need the most from top 5 best as Rosalia's draw bonus will give you that card. That is how essential Echo is, given she benefits a lot of cards, and making most cards to activate and gain benefit from their effects optimally, also thats explain why i make a searcher special for Echo, because you really need it, better on your 1st turn. Srry its a long reply, but atleast it explains the above 3 cards ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxesmose Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (Verona is simply too cute to be ignored).I only noticed support was added when I actually thought about building the deck. After playing around with it for a bit, I noticed how consistent it is.Let me explain. This deck's Type and Level help it a lot. For example, they're all Warriors (Except Verona, but she can be still searched with Tenki), so rota can search them out just like that. Keep in-mind that 3 rotas are allowed in DP, so you're already playing a 37 card deck. Their level also allows them to go into sky cavalry, which helps them get over almost anything. Back to them being Warriors, Reinforce Truth ss them for free. Plus, them being level 2 allows them to use Pride of the Weak, which allows them to draw 2 whenever they beat over something (Which happens a lot). Now, to the Support. Verona - She's a Tuner. Thats all really. Alessa - She's pretty good for the deck..., I think? Being up to possible pop 2 cards every time you attack is pretty good. But then again, she probably won't survive until the next turn to pull that off. My biggest issue with Alessa is her text. "This card gains ATK equal to the highest original ATK of monster equipped tot his card as Equip Spell Card." I'm assuming it gains ATK equal to the monster with the highest atk equipped to it, but i'm not sure. Other than that, the card is nothing special. Daria - Ignoring the fact that Daria has the same text issue as Alessa, it's a Good card. 3 level 2 monsters is nothing special since you can tri-wight into it. Non-targeted spinning is nice. Moving on. Grown-up Rosa...!? - It's a Synchro that allows u to synchro into it again...? You can use it's second effect to xyz, but why would you do that? You already had 2 level 2 monsters on the field, why does it make a difference if you decide to go into this then xyz. Maybe you have Soul charge, maybe you have COH. Unless you need a 3k beatstick, going into this is pointless.It's last effect is....good? I mean, it probably won't protect anything under a lot of circumstances. But it's, interesting. Conclusion: I hope that these aren't all of the cards made for the deck. The deck, although consistent, lacks any form of Protection. Funny, all of this protection and it still self-destructs when it's faced with a Set-up deck. There just isn't a reliable way to protect these Semi-perfect Italian criminals. The Extra deck monsters don't really do anything without their S/T, making them pointless since you'll only go into them when you're winning, and even then you still have much better options. Going into the Extra deck monsters is like have 2 1200 "Beatsticks" and going into castel instead of attacking directly with them. You're dealing less damage in the end. Das all. (From my experience with the Deck). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanashimi Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Oh yes, RoTA, how can i didn't recognize it. Tenki sounds cute for searching Verona but still . . . you dont really want to search Vanilla unless you have a card that help you spam (Enchanting Fitting Room, or Rosalia). Pride of the Weak needs an empty hand to work, so i'm not sure, but from my experience the Deck didnt generate much plus outside Enchanting and Rosalia so it might work (most of them are just +0 upon activation, so its easy for running out of resources). Might want to try teching Inferno Reckless Summon and Red Resonator (Credit to Darj). Reinforce Truth umm . . . seems slow but idk, might want to try it too myself. Verona - Aside from summoning Rosalia the Peerless Beauty, you can synch for Herald of the Arch Light or Hastorr if you want, atleast slowing down the game a bit (Also she's the cat Rosalia is holding on Rosalia the Beauty's art, and Family Unite). Alessa and Daria - Because Ambush Dive prevents you to ss something other than Viola Rosa, means preventing you to summon Sky Cavalry Centaurea too, so inside archetypal removal summoned from ED is needed, both are okay removal as a standalone but super-effective against a deck that uses non-Effect Monster or Normal Monster (say Metalphosis, BEWD, REDMD), because you can just stole it and say example, Alessa stole BEWD, her attack boosted by 3k. Both has similar first effect because i want to stay the flavor of those monsters, both are RICO police that want to capture the mafia, and equipping means capturing them and put them in jail/prison. Also more explanation about flavor, both Echo and Rosalia are Effect Monsters, thus unable being equipped by those police, because Echo as an Informant always know whats going on and whats coming to her, and always stay hidden (heck on the Contract from Echo artwork, she gives contract/target to Fist via contacting on laptop, she always stay hidden all the time, and the protection means Echo can give info's to each member how to stay alive and not being killed). As Rosalia is the leader/boss mafia here, she can outsmart the police, and avoid being captured. Rosalia Peerleess - You cant synchro again? Uhh did you misread it? The on-summon effect only give you non-Tuner, so unless you can NS/SS or have another Tuner, you cant synch again. Also the protection, remember when the field has ATK boost and monster protection, i think its too much for a single Field that does a lot, thats why i move the monster protection to Rosalia Peerless so that outside the Field that you need it immediately, summoning Rosalia Peerlees is the next job to do, to assure them immune to monster effects. As for another protection, im thinking of targeting protection, but i think its too much, so i scrap that. I . . . im not sure on adding more protection, the Field is a pain to get rid, then Rosalia Peerlees + Field your opponent might have a hard time getting over. Maybe i will make a Field protection, instead of adding more protection to the monsters. Because more protection means opponent cant get over with and this archetype becomes busted.

Kanashimi Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Sorry if this is a bad question, but where did you get the card art and the full-art card template?Art is a random search on pinterest for hours digging the site (somehow i managed to find the creator and his personal website). It's Mandrill (korean sensei) artwork for . . . (idk, it says Joker on the art, so i believe its Joker TCG or something), here's the link. But be wary because its in Korean language. Also i already used most of the art (for this archetype, Gansgter/Mobs art, as for the rest i haven't used it and i don't plan to use it, so feel free). As for the template, its my Photoshop template for oricas (in psd), so i believe you know how to use/operate using Photoshop, hang on i'll upload again . . . here. It already has Level/Rank, S/T icon (except equip spell). So whats you're doing with the template is simply put the image you want as background, and crop the card name box and effect box to it (from the card you already made via this site or TCGEditor), and voila~ Also there's Pixlr (online image editor) if you dont have Photoshop and want to open/use the template. P.S: Update pending due to my illness, but i'm healthy now and can get back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
