Archetype Concept: _Entity_Restrict
Posted: Tue May 23, 2023 4:12 pm
Based on abstract, alien mutations, this archetype utilises a very unique gameplay, style and tactics to achieve its victory.
Somewhat inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion, Bjork, Arca, and marine/insect life.
This is a fun little project that I've always wanted to do: creating my own custom Yu-Gi-Oh! archetype.
Looking for critiques to help better develop this archetype concept. I want it be treated as if it could be real. I want these to be relatively balanced, not quite meta but a cool rogue strategy that stands out from other archetypes in the game.
Any grammar or problem solving card text fixes would be greatly appreciated.
WARNING: This archetype is very much a work in progress, and there are plenty of cards that I have in mind to fill in any gaps; such as proper boss monsters, more spells and traps, and even a couple of link monsters.
I had a lot of ideas going into this, so hopefully these cards aren't too bloated.
Thank you for your time.
The aspects of this archetype include:
· Banishing themselves
· Being immune to negations and card effect destruction
· Small ATK/DEF values
· Attacking directly with Extra Deck monsters
· Using monsters, spells or traps as fusion materials
· A strange focus on the number 3, such as each card having 3 different effects
· No negations, only disruptions
The goals I have for this archetype are:
· Consistency
· Fun rogue deck
· Defensive but still interactable
· Not annoying to play against
· Unique playstyle
· Cool artwork
