Zephyr Zeroes - Empowering Terrible Old Cards!

[Draconus297]

So, this is a thread I'm putting together outside the AGM, but I'm making it to the group's standards just in case someone in the group likes it and votes it in.

 

Anyway, I got to thinking about a bunch of really crappy old monsters, wondering if I could take some of the most sheet cards in the game and make them at least playable by removing a restriction or two, widening the scope of how their effect worked, or just giving them something to do.

 

So that's what I did.

 

Every monster in here takes two or three monsters of a given Level (except the Level 1, who borrows from Fox Fire which might as well have been a Level 1 anyway) and combines some of their best traits to create something with an interesting, if not necessarily unique, playstyle. Also I made them all WIND so that there was at least some synergy, and Pyro because it is the least-supported Type in the game, with no relevance either in IRL Yu-Gi-Oh or the AGM.

 

The support S/T is all taken from either bad archetypes, or just usually unplayable S/T in general.

 

This first wave contains one member of every Level from 1 to 6, and may just be expanded to the higher Levels if anyone likes these guys.

Added a Level 7 and a Normal Spell, because inspiration struck.
