The Yugioh Card Duel Arena 11.0

"Hi, my name's something I forgot, got it memorized? Because, y'know, if you do have my name memorized and you could tell it to me, that would be really helpful."

 

Lol. :D

 

I was just being random. I thought it would be funny to make a meme about that. You didn't know? Counter Traps can't be used against Super Polymerization.

 

I do know. I thought you were starting one of your anti-Konami meta rants and then you post that, making me think you were saying that they changed Super Polymerization's errata.

 

Oh ok. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they made it so you could chain to it. That would've been better than banning it.

 

I want to design an archetype, but the way I want to go about it is starting with an in universe theme, and then building cards and mechanics around it. To force myself to work that way, I want you guys to suggest a few different themes (e.g. A group of wizards that tame dragons, or a shadowy guild of assassins) and then I'll pick one of those and work with it.

 

I thought about doing the same soon. Making a new archetype I mean.

 

Hmm... universe theme, you say? Hmm... interesting indeed. Maybe some kind of spirits representing different aspects or places in world? Or rather dimensions? I guess those will go to Zack or one of his 'friends', so I think it should fit. If you will go with that idea, you may want to not make them Attribute specific, rather Type specific. Also my another suggestion is using many types of cards. You know: fusions, rituals, synchro, xyz, pendulum; all of it OR some new type of cards with new summon mechanic.

 

I updated Azrael:

You gotta admit the image I used is at least good right? Doesn't it look like a real Yugioh card?

 

What I meant by "in universe" is a theme for what the archetype represents in the world, rather than what it does mechanically. For example, lightsworn's in universe theme is the whole champions of justice through space and time thing, while its mechanical theme is self-mill and benefiting from self-mill.

I will still take "Maybe some kind of spirits representing different aspects or places in world?" as a suggestion though.

 

What still sucks is its effect. And I start to see its stats as little to good as for monster with 3 materials and its effect as it stands for now. Actually biggest problem is getting fully functional JD. Getting its effect negated would help this card a big deal.[DOUBLEPOST=1421104726][/DOUBLEPOST]

Little misread on my part. Then I need to think about it a little more.

 

How is it now?


And if THIS image isn't good enough then I really am gonna give up trying to impress you guys.

 

Well its a great improvement, but I would like to see its stats lowered by, at least 200 each, but no more than 400 each. And image was good with previous one, but this one is better. After all its not dark at all. Very fitting for Lightsworns, but I'm not sure about heavy armour idea. Right now it gets 6,5/10.

 

Updated once again:

 

The images are fine, I think the rest of the card is fine too. I don't really know how LS work anymore though, since they got all sorts of silly stuff added.

 

It's good. 7/10. One thing I just though of, maybe giving that summoning effect at least once per turn restriction. If not once per duel (that one probably wont go trough). Remember Jaden that even if you are designing it thinking about arena, you should look at how it would work in real game, where JD is unlimited. And its effect don't require it to be destroyed by your opponent at all. I could see people abusing Call + JD to get a second one in one turn.

 

Call of The Haunted can't bring back Judgment Dragon. Even if it was properly summoned first. And you only get one Judgment Dragon if Azrael is destroyed.

 

They get new Banishing/reloading+healing monster. One of more popular builds right now uses Rulers and Lightrays using Eclipse to get all kinds of JD and LIGHT dragons ready to add to hand. Rest is not that relevant.[DOUBLEPOST=1421105815][/DOUBLEPOST]

Call on this monster when you use JD eff to get another JD. Call and JD were just part of combo I quickly thought about.[DOUBLEPOST=1421106301][/DOUBLEPOST]

Actually that part about wizard and dragons reminded me about Warrior + Dragons idea I had some time ago. It was supposed to be Fusion archetype, with almost all Main deck Warrior-type Union monsters not exceeding 1500 ATK, when dragons could be not related to archetype. Idea was build about fusing them into combinations, that would get ATK equal to dragon-type monster used for fusion + 1000. Then they could banish that dragon-type material monster and loose boost from it ATK to be able to use that banished monster effects. Not sure of it will be useful, but whatever. You may like idea or not.
