Toon Support

[Ultimagamer]

Since legendary duelist ancient millennium, where toons only got 2 reprints in the set, toons haven't received new support in a long time. It would be neat to see more nostalgic cards based on classic anime cards.

( one thing I don’t write on the cards is specifying manga ryu-ran, who has received an errata saying it’s always a toon card, as shown on the database / wikia )

Toon Stone: IDK about giving Toons a carbon copy of Black Stone, given you already got Dark Magician for doing that. Seems more like a combination of it and Red-Eyes but with the better parts. (I guess it helps lessen your reliance on actually summoning either of them for plays without Tributing...)

 

Other effect seems fine, as I recall they don't have much recovery options. Good for recovering used copies of Kingdom.

 

Celtic Guardian: This one is fine for the most part if only for immediate recovery and such.

 

Fisherman: At least you're giving Toons more ways to get stuff on the board faster that aren't Mermaid, Gemini Elf (uh, do Toons still use this?) and so forth, so that should help them. Nothing about the protection because it does what you need it to.

 

Jinzo: Point of the original's existence was to screw over Trap Cards; in a sense, you ARE breaking it a bit by making it a one-sided floodgate, but at the same time, a lot of their supports are Traps so negating them would do you no good. Then again, Traps are apparently slow now outside of Strike and such (hence lower numbers in most cases), so...in the current game, not sure how much of an impact it'll have overall.

 

Swordsman: He's actually Level 5 (unless it was intentional, but why?), but that's not going to make too much of a difference. Similar to Fisherman, easier summoning works for this. The non-targeting S/T pop is nice enough for them.

 

BE Alternative: I'll assume you probably saw that other user's attempt at it. But yeah, this is technically a literal copy of Alternative White Dragon, but far easier to summon (well, comparatively). Then again, Alternative is still good so guess you didn't have to modify it much. 

 

Darkness Metal: I'm going to disapprove with REDMD getting a Toon version, as it technically is a much better version than its normal form (and can lead to potential abuse off Kingdom banishing, though it is helpful in some regards in recurring key cards that did get banished). Suppose this also works with Desires too. Ignoring summon conditions works and all, but yeah. 

 

Restrict: Uh, you do realize that the summon conditions are quite literally EASY to pull off and about no more difficult than using Instant Fusion to summon original Restrict in the first place. Though, I guess you did copy off Millennium-Eyes instead, so...I guess it works somewhat. Just not a fan of it stealing monsters every turn, but it does lack effect protection, so...

 

Enforced Walls: More "copies" of Toon World never hurts, and the effects are fine for what they're worth, especially the destruction/banishing protection (well, it doesn't block targeting, which would help more, but you got a few destruction effects in that area, so...) I guess it also alleviates the need to keep banishing stuff off Kingdom.

 

Toon Sword: I need to check if you CAN target face-down banished cards (think it is possible), but again, works with Kingdom banishing stuff face-down so it's useful. Other effects aren't particularly great, but it helps to run over stuff when you need to.

 

Catapult: The "ignoring conditions" thing really only applies to the really old Toons that first came out, but it's still nice (though outside Mermaid, the other ones don't seem that good nowadays). Also yeah, avoiding their first turn attack restriction is always good so you can actually get going. 

 

Then again, it's a Trap so it's slower to work off of, but it's fine as it does make them less passive on turn 1. 

 

---

 

Some of these are good enough for Toons to become more competitive, but a couple of them do feel slapped in for the sake of completeness and all (even a few of the evolved monsters of stuff that already got Toon forms which are already good [i.e. Red Eyes])

Toon Sword: I need to check if you CAN target face-down banished cards (think it is possible), but again, works with Kingdom banishing stuff face-down so it's useful. Other effects aren't particularly great, but it helps to run over stuff when you need to.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

regarding toon stone: it was a bit too similar, so I've changed it a bit to potentially cost more and have a higher risk than just summoning and tributing

 

regarding jinzo: I've changed it to require Toon World on the field for it's effect to apply 

 

regarding flame swordsman: my mistake, he is indeed level 5 not 6

 

regarding alternative / darkness metal: I was inspired by that post the user made about blue-eyes alternative toon dragon, and I thought it would be neat to create the versions for this, along with the feedback given in his thread ( credit to him for the original idea ). It was a bit too strong looking back, being able to reveal any toon while alternative requires revealing the original blue-eyes ( it would be like if alternative could just reveal any dragon type monster in the hand, a bit too strong for it's type ), and darkness metal having a bit too much recovery potential. 

 

In the end: I removed both of them and have replaced them with "Super Toons" basically upgraded versions of the original 4 Toon monsters along with dark magician girl. The offer strong disruption, but are still reliant on toon world.

 

regarding restrict: I figured it would be a nice fit, seeing as how it's Pegasus's classic monster along with the toons. I think restricting more to toons should make it a bit more balanced, if toon kingdom leaves he's weaker than the original, if it stays it's stronger

 

regarding toon sword: it should be able to, given the way omega works with banished cards ( face-down or not ), and I changed the attack boost from 500 to 700 - buff it a little but not too much

I really like how akin these are to both the old ones and the new ones; it's like true Toon support you did here, at least in regards to flavour. The downside is that with so many monsters, you're almost certainly going to be just running the supportive ones. Your super toons aren't helping any, and render your other new ones a little worse than they were already. We didn't even need retrains of the ones you made; the fact that they can be SSd from the hand made them extremely useful, but yours, while providing alternate options for removal and such, still aren't viable targets for the rest of your support, making them hard to get at and not very consistent.

 

Celtic Guardian, Flame Swordsman, and Jinzo are the worse ones in the archetype, and so aren't going to see play. It's not that they're really that bad; it's that you have too many monsters to give room to all of them. Remember, you'll be playing Toon Stone, Toon-Eyes Restrict and Toon DM at 3 each, with probably 2 Red-Eyes Toon Dragon at least, meaning you already have 11 monsters in your Deck already, leaving 9 if play 1 of each at the very least. Add in 3 of the original Mermaid for easy Link fodder, and you have 14 monster slots used up.

 

Your Super Toons are flavourful, but pretty boring and not consistently able to get out. Definitely 1 of each, perhaps not Summoned Skull, but perhaps 1 extra here and there for the rest. For Card Dealer...you know you are able to look at your banished face-down cards, right? So really, there's no point targeting one if you aren't going to add it in the first place. Heroic Slayer deals with the battle damage problem...by adding ATK? What? There's really no need to add ATK here in the first place, because while the battle damage issue was one prevalent in Toons, they already have most of the ATK they need to attack directly in the first place. The card's good enough as it is.

 

Really nice to see the face-down recycling, as it is a rather unique way of searching your Deck for cards, and allows for actual consistency when it comes to the Spells/Traps. If I didn't comment on a card, it means I think it's fine. Most of this set is rather fine, but there really didn't need to be this many monsters. That was one of the issues with my Toon support earlier :P
