Ultimagamer Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 This is a series of cards I thought of based around the Punch-Out!! video game series ( The Wii version in particular ). The deck is based around level 3 monsters that allow for basic swarming and level 6 monsters that work with those monsters to gain effects and set up your graveyard. You get to summon powerful level 9 fusion monsters that when destroyed and sent to the mat, will come back up twice as strong! Reviving themselves and skipping right to your battle phase, these monsters are sure to land their punch! [spoiler=A little note about the monsters] The level 3 monsters are based on the Minor Circuit boxers The level 6 monsters are based on the Major Circuit boxers The level 9 monsters are based on the World Circuit boxers Any kind of review would be appreciated!

Tinkerer Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mm... I'll be honest. I find it extremely difficult to gather my thoughts together about this archetype. I think it's because it's pulling together a lot of different pieces (level 3s, level 6s, Fusions and Links) that are somewhat contained but, at the same time, it's a combo-intensive strategy. The archetype's design is a combo-based strategy whose purpose is to OTK, or at least put out big damage. At least... I think it is? The thing is, there are a lot of cards and design aspects that act extremely defensive: from the fusion monsters' on-destruction effects, to the equip spell, to the trap. Ok, I think I'm starting to confuse myself again. Lemme just cut to the core:- The Fusion's destruction revival effect - I don't like it. In practice, this would likely be taken as an extreme version of Thunder Dragons' protection effect, so I guess there is precedent in the tcg. However, it is still an extremely dangerous effect, especially since there is literally no way to get around it. One can keep attempting to destroy the Thunder Dragons until they are finally removed, but one can't get around this effect that easily. It needs to be toned down.- The Links - The Links each enable a huge amount that really isn't fair. It's hard to explain it straight out, but I can give a combo example:[spoiler=Combo]Hand: Glass Joe (RotA/Career Start - search Glass Joe)Normal Summon Glass JoeGlass Joe effect > send HippoSS Hippo from GYGlass Joe + Hippo > Link 2 (Referee)Referee search Grand CircuitReferee effect > Return Glass Joe + Hippo > Fusion Summon Aran RyanAran Ryan effect > steal any opponent's monster (becomes World Boxer)Aran Ryan + Referee > Link 3 (DK)DK effect > search FusionActivate Fusion > Return Aran Ryan, Referee + the stolen monster > Fusion Summon Bald BullBald Bull effect > Harpie's Feather DusterDK effect > Fusion Summon Mr. SandmanMr. Sandman effect > RaigekiAttack w/ Bald Bull + Mr. Sandman > 6700 damageOptional:Bald Bull + DK > Link 2 (Referee)Referee effect > search a second Grand Circuit + protect your first Grand Circuit ...that's a ONE card combo for 7000+ damage (if you take into account the burn) + a full field nuke. You could even replace Bald Bull in the combo with Super Macho Man and get ridiculous card draws and still do probably over 7000 damage. And the thing is... you can do completely different plays before going into this to draw out opponent negation. I think that's what makes this difficult: it's really hard for me to look at some of the interesting little parts of the archetype because the crazier aspects are just so ridiculously effective. This might need a reworking from the ground up. Or, at least the extra deck portion. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuchika Okada Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Everything Tinkerer said, also some specific considerations: - The Level 3 and 6 monsters are pretty much identical between each of them. There is basically no real reason to use one over the other, since ATK and DEF points won't really make a difference in choosing them, considering the difference is minimal and ATK/DEF isn't extremely relevant in modern Yu-Gi-Oh. The problem that comes with this is that if you'd add 3 copies of each to your deck, you'd basically have 12 cards that have the same effect but with different names infinitely summoning, searching and tributing each other with no costs, building up an extremely problematic combo. - The Fusion monsters have at least a bit of a difference between each of them, so I find it really good that you tried to give each one an identity, but the effects don't really match their strength. Bald Bull has almost the same unique effect as Mr. Sandman, but he pops backrow which I believe to be stronger than destroying monsters since this is an archetype based on battling, and also he requires less World Boxer monsters to summon. All in all, it seems the archetype became too generic within itself. The cards are all cool and the concept is interesting, but you could try giving them more uniqueness, make the person playing the cards think "Man, I need Disco Kid way more than Von Kaiser in this match because his effect will be great to counter the enemy's deck". Sorry if I have seemed too harsh, though, but I really like the potential in this archetype you came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
