Battle Bunny Archetype [Updated] 26/26

[SnowBunny]

So awhile ago, around the time I found YCM and started making cards, I made this archetype. (Link here: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/363367-battle-bunny/ ). Since then, I have made many new cards and have updated the old cards. A lot of the old cards have the same effects, just the wording was updated. Their names are all named after different breeds of rabbits. They are very heavily revolved around battling and have card effects to protect them so they can successfully attack and gain effects. You use Pendulum Summoning mechanics to summon out the material fodder and the monsters that are being summoned by using them gain their various effects. I wasn't quite sure how to word the effect on Feu Noir, Rhone, and Zika that lets them gain the effects of monsters used to summon them, they are quite long as you can see. They are in essence a beat-down deck.

[SecondSeraphim]

To start with, I reworked the effect of Altex and Baladi to be a bit clearer in in how they functioned. I’m pretty sure I

captured your original intent with them but correct me if I’m wrong. I also suggest changing the archetype name from “Battle Bunny” to “Battle Bun”; that way you can call the plural character cards “Battle Bunnies” and still have it part of the architype.

 

Battle Bunnies Altex and Baladi

Level 4 EARTH/Beast/Pendulum/Effect

1000/0 Scale:3

Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, if you do not control a monster that has gained the monster effect of this card, you can target a “Battle Bun” monster you control; that monster can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase this turn.

Monster Effect: A “Battle Bun” monster that was Tribute Summoned by Tributing this card gains this effect

• This card can declare a second attack during each Battle Phase.

 

Clarified, this card is pretty good. Harlequin is also great, giving the cards some much needed protection.

 

Holland Lop though may be problematic. It’s pendulum effect is fine, but it’s monster effects might cause ruling problems. See, once she’s been Tributed, that effect becomes an effect of the newly summoned monster, not her. So, her HOPT clause wouldn’t work. At most I think you can do is word it as:

 

Monster Effect: A “Battle Bun” monster that was Tribute Summoned by Tributing this card gains this effect:

• If your opponent activates a card or effect that would remove this card from the field you can play 1000 LP; negate that card/effect and destroy it. You can only use this effect of one monster Tribute Summoned using by Tributing “Battle Bunny Holland Lop” per turn, and only once per turn.

 

Kabyle, Rex, Rhinelander, and Silver Marten are all good, though I think the wording on Marten’s Pend effect is a bit off. I suggest removing the “that” in it.

 

Velveteen is almost always better in your Pen zone then tributed, so I might suggest the Tribute boost be larger, say 800, ad it’s only going to one monster. Wheaten has the same problem in that it only affects ones monster when tributed, but is at least balanced out by having the “wider net” eff only working during your turn.

 

Zemmouri is just great. Well balanced, with a pair of very useful effects.

 

Moving on to the tributes. You may want to use bullet points to differentiate effects on these guys if you can. They all have good, useful effects, though I do worry there are too many of them for the archetype to support.

 

On Grand Arena, you might want to specify if the drawing happens if your mon is killed in battle. It’s kind of ambiguous how it is written. Otherwise a useful card for the archetype.

 

Now Invoked, that’s a good card! It helps to fix a lot of the issues I noticed regarding consistency. Use to it to get your Pendulums one turn, and something to tribute something next turn, very useful! Good job with it.

 

Mechannouncer also provides some much-needed support by letting you get off those Tribute Summons and providing some necessary search.

 

I’m sorry to say I don’t like Midnight Duel. It’s second effects is just fine for the archetype, but it’s first effects screams abuse in Exodia and a few other decks.

 

Angora is great. I had to reread Feu Noir a few times to make sure I understood here. It’s a very complicated card, but I don’t see anything inherently wrong with it. The working could be a bit clearer, but off the top of my head I don’t particularly see how.

 

Gouwenaar is over powered though. I’d raise it’s rating one and give it an up arrow if I were you.

 

Rhone, like Few Noir, is pretty complicated. The only part that causes trouble is her last effect. You have it written with the position change being a cost and the stat changing the effect, but then go on the say you don’t have to actually pay the cost to get the effect. That’s.. just wrong. Sorry, but it just doesn’t work.

 

Zika is great.

 

If I had to pick a flaw with the archtype, it’s that none of the pendulum monsters can be Tribute Summoned. With the Qli archetype the same monsters fulfill the roles of Tributed and Tributed for, creating a greater balance. Here, if you only have only the pends or only the non-pends, you can easily be out of luck.

[SnowBunny]

Thanks for the review. I'm going to keep the archetype name "Battle Bunny" since I created Altex and Baladi to be considered as one entity as they had split from a single being. I also just kind of slapped the restriction on their pend effect quickly as I noticed it could be over powered. I will probably change the tribute effects of the pend monsters to "You can only gain this effect once per turn" and something along the lines of "You can only control 1 monster that has gained this effect". I will not be changing any of the tribute summon monsters to pends since it will ruin my idea for this archetype.

 

Altex and Baladi: Clarified above. This is essentially what I wanted the effect to be.

 

Holland Lop: Wasn't putting the hopt on the tribute effect, but the entire effect itself, but clarified what I was planning on doing above.

 

Silver Marten: I'm pretty sure that's how it's suppose to be worded.

 

I guess I could up Velveteen's ATK/DEF gain on the tribute effect, but would probably make it 600 instead of 800.

 

Wheaten is good since the tribute effect happens during either player's bp.

 

Arena: Ya, I was just being lazy, I will put (by battle or card effect)

 

Duel: I will make it so you can only shuffle "Battle Bunny" cards into deck to draw 1.

 

I understand that Feu Noir and Rhone effects are complicated, didn't know of any other way to word them. Also, for Rhone's last effect I will reword to make it not so weird.

 

Gouwenaar: I will take away the target part of the first effect to nerf it a little. Keeping the search. Making it so you can only use the last effect if destroyed by your opponent and sent to the GY and it will also be hopt.

 

I can't change any of the cards right now since I'm doing this on the phone and I'm not home and might not be for awhile.

[SnowBunny]

Edited all the cards. Made the changes above and also tweaked some additional effects. I took @@SecondSeraphim effect of "You can only use this effect of one monster Tribute Summoned using by Tributing “Battle Bunny Holland Lop” per turn, and only once per turn." and refined it a bit to make it a little shorter and what I thought would be PSCT.

 

I am also working on a lore for "Battle Bunny" that involves them vs. another 1 of my archetypes called "Inari" and also with an archetype I am working on now.

(Link here for Inari: https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/363376-inari-deck-fun-new-and-exciting/ ) It is quite old, but I thought they would go well together as enemies in lore.

[SnowBunny]

Changes on Altex and Baladi and Zemmouri effects. They didn't have the "If you do not control a "Battle Bunny" monster that has gained this card's monster effect: You can activate this effect;" in their pend effects. Also, small wording changes on Arena and Gouwenaar effects.
