Time Thief Support + Structure Deck Ideas

[ChupiTrooper]

I've listed this elsewhere, but I felt my ideas for future Time Thief support were too good to keep to myself. I'm seriously passionate about these Psychics and their card-stealing shenanigans, and you may have seen one or two of my custom cards for them on DB. For the uninitiated, I'll be posting my ideas here!

All my stuff for them is compiled in this Google Doc of mine: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vql ... sp=sharing

But I'll also provide the cards and their descriptions separately here for individual commentary!

Time Thief Retainer:https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536599
(Based on the character Aisrehdar from the manga/anime series Chronos Ruler, which Time Thief shares a majority of its resemblance in characters and motifs to. The idea is that she oversees the actions of the Thieves in something of a surveillance/supportive role while also intervening with her own restorative abilities, possibly in the stead of the matured Perpetua or prior to her recruitment in the Time Thief lore. Her ATK represents the number of male Time Thief members (including Double Barrel as one), with her DEF representing female members respectively (herself included). Much like the human Time Thief members, she summons herself for free under set conditions, but in introducing her comes an extension of Time Thief's ability to utilize materials from areas other than the field, in much of the same way Perpetua does for the deck or Bezel Ship and Flyback for the opponent's GY. In doing so, you can also potentially recycle your banished pieces like say, Flyback or Chronocorder if worse came to worse.)

Time Thief Mono-Recall: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536605
(As the name implies, Mono-Recall is a device on the person of Retainer taking the passive form of a monocle. Said monocle allows her to view the Thieves in action during their missions, and provide verbal or active support accordingly. Its ATK represents the number of Main Deck Time Thief monsters (including the ones I've curated for the purposes of this brainstorm), while its DEF represents the number of Extra Deck monsters (plus the one I'd also included for this category). Since Time Thief will more than likely have more materials attached than they know what to do with in the long game, this will hopefully allow them to build off that, and possibly also provide removal protection once it's properly in the GY later. It could also potentially be a summon off of Regulator, provided you've already the other required pieces of yours on hand or field. That, or an attach via Perpetua or Flyback will accomplish it all the same.)

Time Thief Eternity: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536613
(Based on the character Aiks from Chronos Ruler. Appearance-wise: a solitary and elder boss of all the Time Thieves, or possibly an elder version of Winder, Redoer, or even Double Barrel. Possibly an additional boss monster for the deck, though Redoer is competent in his own right as a boss as well. The lack of typical Rank would not only allude to his more specific and unusual materials, but also the idea that he is truly omnipresent in both the passage of time and influence over his fellow Thieves. His ATK/DEF being zero could also allude to this fact, though it was mainly intended for his primary effect of retaining the stats and effects of its Xyz monster materials, not to mention balancing out his statistical power. And of course, as a true Thief, the GY or banished zone is never truly the end for him, hence his secondary effect of recursing himself and a fellow used Time Thief card to search you another should your resources be running dry.)

Time Thief Stasistaff: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536604
(Stasistaff is, well, a staff/cane that Eternity uses in order to hold time in stasis, among other methods of manipulating it. Its ATK is indicative to the number of Psychic-type -- or human -- members of the Thieves, while its DEF represents the number of Machine-type -- or gadget -- members. Like the other Time Thief devices, it revives itself from GY with the threat of being banished should it be used for anything other than another Xyz Summon. In this card's case, its tutor upon being detached or shuffled could not only allow for Time Thief's consistency and swarm ability to become bolstered, but also to encourage the use of additional backrow cards I've curated fulfilling that purpose as well as Pot of Avarice.)

Time Thief Continuum: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536589
(This one was the most obvious, I simply had to address the glaring issue of Time Thief's lack of monster search-ability outside of Winder or Spells whose names rhyme with "Sprawled Girls" or "Not of Hot Clarity". And what do you know, it can be searched off Terraforming and doesn't take up a usual backrow slot. You could say Field Spells that search on activation are dime a dozen these days, but don't fix it if it ain't broke I suppose. Barring that, the on-attach effect I'd provided would open up other options to Time Thief, like tagging into other good Rank 4's such as Tornado Dragon or Abyss Dweller, though that one is subject to change either in the pool of summonable monsters or as a whole. Being able to tutor out a Retrograde or other backrow you need is nice as well, and it can even fetch Startup if you need to de-brick your hand. Not half bad if I do say so myself.)

Time Thief Rewrite: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536593
(This was a neat little option I thought Time Thief could use, essentially like a Tri-Brigade Revolt for them. With this you can recurse (take a shot every time I type that) monsters that have bit the dust and use them for something new, as the name implies. The self-attaching addition could mean not just one more material, but Redoer's draw or Double Barrel's walking Crackdown is online out the gate as well. Also something cool you could get immediate use out of from Continuum if you need.)

Time Thief Reclamation: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=3536594
(Figured there was at least one prerequisite Trap I'd have to make, and I'm definitely happy with this being the one. It being a Trap taking a turn after setting to go live and having the condition of requiring one of its tribe on the field to be activated seems fair enough, and of course there had to be a banish-from-GY effect to really tie it all together. That's not even to speak of the card swiping being dialed up to eleven. It being a Trap also means it can act as ammo for Redoer's bounce or Double Barrel's negation, with the double-hard once per turn hopefully smoothing things over further. The conditions and severity of its effect are subject to change.)

For the future maybe show the cards in one giant post then multiple posts.

For the future maybe show the cards in one giant post then multiple posts.

Will do, thank you for letting me know. Is my first post on DB forums, will apply for the future.
