The Divine Beast Archetype

[ricky ricketz]

Hello everyone, I just recently joined the forums and I really want to get to know the community here. I will do my best to follow the rules, but if I screw up don't hesitate to call me out. Anyway enough about me let's get started to my first ever post. 

 

Remember the first time you've seen the Egyptian God cards? How they were depicted to be the most powerful cards in the entire game and how pivotal they were to the story? As a kid I always dreamed of getting them into my collection, but my family could never afford to get cards so I was forced to get them from my local ice cream man. Apparently ice cream men also doubled as card sellers? I remember getting them in the Yugioh World Championship 2008 game for DS and summoned Slifer for the first time and all of its poorly 3D rendered glory. It was awesome!.........Then later duels my hand would brick faster than an Ojama + Dark World deck. And when I do summon them and trying to summon the other 2, my first god card would be destroyed the next turn. 

 

That's when I realized that they aren't invincible and weren't very reliable. So I'm dedicating to making a new archetype as actual support for the god cards. Before I can even begin with the archetype, I want to see how my first line of ideas look. This is my first time ever doing this so there might be balancing issues and I'm not all too good with the clauses so any help would be nice. This new archetype is based around the Divine-Beast type monsters and is a rank 10 engine with a Link monster for further support. The deck would focus on searching out tributes for the god cards and making the god cards not clog up your hand. I also will take some liberties in making other Divine type monsters as I'm planning on making the retrains of the god cards and other level ten god cards for the Egyptian mythology to summon the actual Gods of Egypt as they are rank 10 monsters. Here are my first three cards as retrains of our beloved god cards.
