Arkraider Archetype (OCG: アークライダー/아크레이더)

Post #1 by parhelia_0000 » Thu Apr 30, 2020 4:48 am

And I'm back with the new custom archetype, Arkraiders! This archetype is based on the Tomb Raider game series. Enjoy!

Interesting. Do you have the overview of what the deck does, like playstyle, etc?
I have interest in badly designed custom cards.
You saw these cards as terrible, I saw them as ideas.

Think of this deck as an improved version of Infernoble Noble Knights, with most of the flaws removed. This deck is designed to utilize Equip and Field spells to its advantage to swarm the field with boss monsters from the Extra Deck.

COMBO TUTORIAL: 2-Card Combo to Survivor Lara + eXotic Lara + Wicked Nightmare Lock
Hey guys, so I'm gonna show you guys how to achieve a 2-card combo that gives you the win condition for Arkraiders - the Survivor Lara + eXotic Lara + Wicked Nightmare lock. Yes, this deck can do a lot more with a full hand; however, I would like to show you guys the board that you guys can make with just two cards.

For this combo you want to start with Arkraider Communicator and Arkraider Gauntlets of Thor in your hand. If you don't have either one of these cards, you can use other cards that'll give you access to them, such as Apprentice Lara, Chirugai, ROTA, and/or Hidden Armory.

If you want to see the combo in real time, here's the replay for you guys to watch: https://www.duelingbook.com/replay?id=37528-22619403

For this example, we'll assume a scenario where we have the Communicator and Gauntlets of Thor already in hand. First thing you want to do is summon Communicator and activate its effect to search out Apprentice Lara. You'll need Apprentice Lara because it'll be your 1-card access to the Wicked Nightmare. Special Summon it by its own effect, and activate its first effect, tributing it to recruit Prime Richard from your deck.

Prime Richard's effect is going to activate, allowing you to search for an Arkraider spell card. There are two ways we can approach this - if you already have Prime Amelia in your hand, you want to search for Arkraider Excalibur. However, if you don't have Prime Amelia in your hand already, which is the case for this combo demonstration, we want to go for Arkraider Lost Memories. This will allow us to special summon Prime Amelia from our deck.

Once you add Arkraider Lost Memories, before you summon out Prime Amelia, we're going to activate Apprentice Lara's effect from the GY. Banish it to activate its second effect, allowing us to bring out an Arkraider monster from our Extra Deck, ignoring any summoning conditions. We want to bring out Arkraider Force Wraith. We don't want to stick to the Force Wraith, as it's going to get bounced back during the End Phase of the opponent's next turn. The Force Wraith in this case is merely a stepping stone to the monster we REALLY want. We'll be using the Force Wraith as our Xyz Material to Xyz Summon Arkraider Wicked Nightmare, which is a powerful boss monster that locks out your opponent from summoning anything from the Extra Deck that has a Level or Rank that's 8 or less, and also negates effects of monsters your opponent controls that has a Level, Rank or Link Rating that's 5 or less.

NOW we want to activate Arkraider Lost Memories, paying 2500 LP to use its first effect to special summon Arkraider Prime Amelia from our deck. Amelia's effect is going to activate, allowing us to recruit another Arkraider from our deck with its effects negated and its ATK zeroed out. We want to bring out a second copy of Wicked Traveler in this case.

Now, we want to equip Arkraider Gauntlets of Thor to Arkraider Communicator. We'll be taking advantage of Gauntlets of Thor's GY effect when it's sent to the GY that wasn't caused by its own effect. We want to link off Communicator, Prime Richard and Wicked Traveler to Link Summon Arkraider Legendary Lara.

We have three chain links that are going to trigger - chain link 1 Legendary Lara, chain link 2 Communicator and chain link 3 Gauntlets of Thor. Gauntlets of Thor has a Monster Reborn effect, allowing you to revive an Arkraider monster from the GY. Communicator's effect will allow you to draw 1 card when it's linked off, and Legendary Lara will allow you to revive another Arkraider monster from the GY when it's Link Summoned. We're going to draw 1 off of Communicator and revive Wicked Traveler and Prime Richard. It's very important you still have Prime Amelia on the field in this case!

Next, we're going to link off Prime Richard to Link Summon our Link 1 monster, Arkraider Mentor Von Croy. Von Croy's effect will trigger, and we're going to bring back our Prime Richard that was used as our Link material. Also, Legendary Lara's effect will trigger as well, allowing us to either equip an Arkraider Equip Spell from our GY to a monster we control, or draw 1 card. We're going to draw 1 off of Legendary Lara in this case.

Now it's time for us to bring out our other boss monsters since everything is set. Tune Arkraider Wicked Traveler with Arkraider Prime Amelia to Synchro Summon our Level 8 Synchro monster, Arkraider Survivor Lara. She'll be our monster negation as we still have Arkraider Gauntlets of Thor in the GY to use as our activation cost. Then, we're going to use Von Croy and Prime Richard as our Xyz Materials to Xyz Summon our Rank 4, Arkraider eXtreme Lara. Note that Von Croy allows us to treat it as a LV4 monster when it's used as Synchro or Xyz material for the Summon of an Arkraider monster from the Extra Deck.

But why stop at eXtreme Lara when we can go for something better? We're going to rank up eXtreme Lara into our Rank 5 boss monster, Arkraider eXotic Lara. She's going to be the board protection for Arkraiders from targeting effects and Trap effects, also it'll be your spell/trap negation.

Not shown in the replay which I forgot to do: You can use Apprentice Lara's last effect to shuffle it back into the deck to draw 1 more card.

If you've done everything right, your end board should consist of Legendary Lara, Wicked Nightmare, eXotic Lara and Survivor Lara, and you'll have gone plus 3 off of Communicator, Legendary Lara and Apprentice Lara.

And that's the basic 2-card combo! Let me know what you guys think. :)

Think of this deck as an improved version of Infernoble Noble Knights, with most of the flaws removed. This deck is designed to utilize Equip and Field spells to its advantage to swarm the field with boss monsters from the Extra Deck.


You sure making "an improved version of Infernoble" is a good idea, since infernobles are already good on their own with the ability to hand loop with Smoke Grenade of the Thief and stuff?

Well, at least I did add HOPT clauses to Arkraiders so IMO it's not all THAT bad as compared to Infernobles, is it?

Nice timing. I'm currently trying to try out some of the archetype shared in the forum

And here's the last support for Arkraiders for now. Enjoy!

Arkraider Aquatic Lara (アークライダー・A・ラーラー/아크레이더 A 라라) https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=1908377
2 non-Link Warrior and/or Spellcaster monsters with different names
When this card is Link Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Arkraider" monster from your hand or Deck to your zone an "Arkraider" Link Monster points to. While this card is co-linked with an "Arkraider" Link Monster that has a different name, neither player can Tribute monsters. An "Arkraider" monster that was Link or Fusion Summoned using this card as material gains the following effect:
● When it is Summoned: for the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot activate monster effects from the hand.

One more support should do it!

Arkraider Scion of Atlantis (アークライダー・エメラルド・スキオン/아크레이더 에메랄드 스키온) https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=1912546
Activate 1 of the following effects. You can only use each effect of "Arkraider Scion of Atlantis" once per turn.
● Banish 3 "Arkraider" Field or Equip Spell cards from your Deck and/or GY with the same name; Special Summon 3 "Arkraider" monsters from your Deck with different names, also your opponent takes no damage for the rest of this turn.
● Banish 3 Warrior or Spellcaster monsters from your Deck and/or GY with the same name; add 3 "Arkraider" Spell cards from your Deck to your hand with different names.
● You can Banish 3 "Arkraider Scion of Atlantis" from your GY (including this card); Special Summon 1 "Arkraider" monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

So i tested your Arkraider on solo mode (and watched your combo replay first), Well, let just say that this deck's Combo ability is frightening. But then I haven't been using any combo-based deck for a while (Aside from Lil Blue Fish deck once posted here too)

When you look at decks like Deskbot Nekroz and Invoked Dogmatika Shaddolls, those decks are able to push out strong turn 1 lock/negate boards consistently. Infernobles and Noble Knights are known to be rather slow in comparison. Arkraiders are my answer to such inconsistencies, turning Equip Spells and Field Spells into a strong combo powerhorse.

So, based on the July 2020 format, here are the three variations of Arkraiders I've created and perfected to be as strong as possible.

Pure Arkraiders: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=5483725
Image
This variant is the most consistent out of the three. Bricks the least, and allows for more versatile ways you can combo off your board.

Invoked Arkraiders: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=6662850
Image
This variant is a bit less consistent than Pure Arkraiders, but it is the safest variant as you can use Invoked Mechaba to prevent your Arkraiders from being Nibiru'd early on. Because you do have a few monsters that conflict with your normal summon for the Aleister, I tech'd in 2 Double Summon's to compensate.

Infernoid Arkraiders: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=6673705
Image
This variant is the most explosive version out of the three. Not as consistent, but the Scion of Atlantis is the sole reason that makes Infernoid Arkraiders a thing. This way, if you mill all 3 copies of Scion of Atlantis to the GY using Monster Gate or Reasoning, you can extend your combos by banishing all 3 copies of Scion of Atlantis to get a free Arkraider monster from your Extra Deck. Be careful not to use Monster Gate when you have Aquatic Lara on the field, as they will conflict with each other!

Exactly, so it makes no sense to keep making more custom archetypes that can do what those decks can do but better. Many people play customs solely because they hate the current meta of people making turn 1 nearly-unbreakable boards and FTKing consistently, and now they have to deal with more of that in customs because of people like you. Almost all of your extra deck monsters are too easy summon and either have some kind of immunity to something, give protection from something like targeting or some other effect, or has some kind of quick effect that negates, destroys, or banishes something, and some of those monsters have more than 1 of the above.

And one more Arkraider support card - this is the final boss of this deck. Enjoy!

Arkraider Natla, the Vengeful (アークライダー・復讐のナトラー/아크레이더 복수의 나틀라) https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=1983523
3+ "Arkraider" monsters, Warrior and/or Spellcaster monsters with different names
The original ATK of this card becomes the number of Link Materials that were used to Link Summon this card x 1000. Unaffected by other card effects. Neither player can activate monster effects, except the effects of "Arkraider" monsters. Gains the effects of "Arkraider" monsters that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck that were used to Link Summon this card. If this card was Link Summoned using an Xyz monster as Link Material, you can activate effects that require detaching an Xyz Material by Banishing 1 "Arkraider" monster from your GY instead. If this card would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can Banish the top 3 cards of your Deck, face-down, instead.

WTF! Improve version of Infernoble Knight? In what way?! Its better than most Archetype in the game.
There is no way the opponent can win. This boss have 6 effects, but then it gain more from its Link Materials. All your Arkraider cards are broken and not fun to go up against. What's wrong, didn't get 100% win rate with it so you made this final boss. Had you learn nothing from Konami mistakes with "The Tyrant Neptune" or "Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom"?! What worst, you made it so its more than 1 copy.
Trying to beat Konami on "how to" ban an entire Archetype forever. Well you certainly won that award.

And your other bosses "Force Wrath" & "Wicked Nightmare". Again WTF! No one will bother to fusion summon Force Wrath, just Normal Summon "Wicked Traveler" with any of their easy Equip Spell -> Force -> Wicked Floodgate turn 1. Not even -1 with the Equip Spell because all of them float. All the floodgate effects are either only to the opponent, or no "real" downside to the user. And your cards have so many words & lines. :? Don't you know we hate stalling the game just to read the opponent's cards' long texts, for each one throughout the match! :evil:

We don't need a 2nd CrystalMusic here. :x One rotten apple is more than enough. Hate to see another unbeatable custom deck that prevent the opponent to duel, or close to no chance of winning the "match", or just a headache to keep track & read all those long effects.

That's quite a harsh critic there, calm down.
But still, turns out I'm not the only one to think this deck's combo ability is a bit bonker.
