[Written] Necrops: don't eat these veggies.

[Midshade97]

Hello all, this is my first post on this website. I read the rules and FAQ and looked at some threads to get an idea of how to go about this post. 

 

Anyways, this archetype of mine is called Necrops. They are necrotic crops (hence name) with 0 ATK and 0 DEF that have various effects. This is a MR4 (Link) format archetype. At first I wanted to also make these pendulums but I'm still working out the kinks in the archetype. I would like some suggestions on how to improve these cards, I will take any critique I can get!

EDITS VERSION 1.1

- Added targeting and nerfed the effects on “Maize” and “Carrot”

- Added hard OPT to draw effect of “Onion”

- Specified where to banish cards from on “Necrop” shared effect

- Added ability nullification to “Malignant Growth” to water down its power

- Overhauled the effect of “Feartilizer”

The maindeck monsters state you can banish 2 cards face-down to Special Summon them, but they don't specify from where. Is it the GY?

Regardless, these actually look scarily good. I'm mainly concerned on Maize and Carrot, since they remove on any Summon and they don't even target, giving them a deceptively amazing edge. IMO you should water the effects down, they are just too good for Normal Summonable monsters that benefit from Zombie revival support.

Potato and Wheat look fine and effective for providing consistency to the archetype.

 

A couple of notes on Onion:

I don't think you can Special Summon a monster again while it is on the field. If anything, you can change control of it.

There is no such thing as "banished pile". You can write it as "add 2 of your cards that are banished face-down to your hand".

 

I suggest to put a hard OPT in the draw effect, too. Otherwise you could get multiples in the GY, use the effects, return them to the GY with, let's say Burial from a Different Dimension, and get more cards. Granted, you would need a bunch of face-down banished cards to fully take advantage of this, but the issue is that the potential is there. Not to mention cards that mass banish face-down are things, namely Pot of Desires.

 

The Spells are crazy good, too. With lucky or topdecked mills you can Summon up to 3 monsters with Feartilizer. And Growth is, well, a searchable Machine Dupe. You may need to tone these down too, IDK.

 

Finally, Combine looks effective at finishing games by attacking Necrops given to the opponent. That may be its only purpose, but it's a good one.
