A little Rank 3 Pendulum Xyz, since I haven't made one of those in a while. It focuses on attaching cards to itself and messing with your opponent's Extra Deck, is able to send Pendulums from your Deck or Extra Deck to the GY to change its Pendulum Scale and boosts Xyz Monsters' ATK/DEF. It changes its effect depending on the zone it's Special Summoned to, either attaching a monster from your opponent's Extra Deck or your GY.

A Level 10 Fusion Monster that uses Link Monsters, is able to blow up the whole field, gain massive amounts of DEF, which you can than switch to it's ATK, also protects itself from battle/effects by banishing Link Monsters from your GY.

I recently made a Mathmech Deck, and well, it should be pretty obvious what I am supporting today, yeah, I normally don't make direct support, however this card is designed directly for them, though with some general Cyberse support options as well. So, this is a Pendulum Monster, which seems perhaps a little random, but I figured since they already use Synchros and Xyzs, they aren't shy about this sort of thing, and I was not sure if I should go with a monster or a Spell/Trap, so I did both! Anyway, this card is able to change its Pendulum Scale to 5 instead of 3, making you easily able to use multiple of this card to Pendulum Summon with, or if you want, use its effect to SS a Cyberse from your hand instead, along with that, it's a Tuner, and you can SS itself from the hand or Extra Deck by Tributing a Cyberse monster, and lastly, if it's sent to the GY, you get to add a Mathmech card from your GY to your hand, other than itself that is.

Amphipteres is an Archetype consisting of Reptile and Wyrm EARTH, WATER and DARK monsters with various Levels. They focus on type changing, self milling and Link/Fusion Monster tactics. The Main Deck monsters are all Reptile, and are also in the Aura of the Amphipteres sub-Archetype, with the Link/Fusion Monsters being Wyrm. The Link Monsters are all able to make a monster they point to become Wyrm, which is how you get out Amphipteres Serpentine and Amphipteres Lindwyrm, as support from other effects. All Aura of the Amphipteres have an effect that banishes it and 2 other Amphipteres cards from your GY to add an Amphipteres card from your Deck to your hand, thus a lot of their effects are able to mill cards to the GY for this purpose, and they have various Special Summoning techniques in the hand to Link Summon fast and easily. Amphipteres are mythical snake-like dragons, and the theming around this Archetype is a parallel from our own where the reptile population are these mythical dragons instead, hence the "aura" being the Reptile monsters, and you can see more of this in the Spell/Trap support. The Extra Deck monsters are also based on reptile and dragon related things. So unlike my previous archetype Sinistar, this is intended for the current format, though as they mainly use Link Monsters, they would probably play mostly the same, the most significant difference being Lindwyrm, which would be able to be put into the Main Monster Zone more easily, hence why that effect is not as powerful (to me anyway) as the Extra Monster Zone effect it gains, so in some regard I did take the new format into consideration, but I still don't think it changes much. Also, happy new year! Last year, I was going to post an Archetype on the 1st as well, but well, YCM went down around this time, so I never got that chance, but at least I get to this time around.

Oh yeah that may be right, looked at Question which didn't say that, but that is an old card, I should know better heh. Fireworks! They can be quite dangerous if you are not careful, and it being during the End Phase, as in the end of your turn, the end of the year, it made sorta sense. I was more so working from the effect perspective first, rather than a theme, but the card came together with a semi-theme to it i thought.

Happy New Year everybody, there's about 5 hours until the year changes in Denmark, so to celebrate, I made holiday themed card, and it got some interesting things to it! Firstly, while it has Festival Counters, nobody take battle damage, this is no time for attacking each other, and you can remove 1 of them for an effect similar to that of the card "Question", which picks the bottom-most monster in both GYs and Special Summons them, like a parade! Lastly, during the End Phase, you remove a Festival Counter from the card and both players take 1000, remember to be safe out there!

Yeah, they can be strong, though gotta get the right set-up, and unless you want to pay the discard cost on your own turn, getting an Xyz out on your own turn can be tricky, so not sure if I would say they are slow, that is just how they work, but I think the cost is worth the pay-off.

Izar is intended as a comeback card, since it on its own is able to bring back a dead Xyz and give it a material, since its condition of attaching instead of returning to the hand becomes active after reviving the Xyz. It's also meant to be a card that brings another Sinistar on the field, then letting you use that one's effect, along with the ability to discard itself to SS another copy of itself, which then results in another copy of itself, which makes you able to Special Summon another monster from your hand or GY, since remember, their first effect is not tied behind a hard OPT clause.

I don't know about that, I do take what people say into consideration, however I do have a different idea of where I what I want from my Archetypes, for one, I don't ever aim to make a competitive Deck, if I were to do that, I would find that my Archetypes would be made to combat the current meta, which I find a horrible way to design something, Ally of Justice is no fun to anyone if you ask me. However I do suppose these are some of the stronger Archetypes I have made recently, mainly because I am not sure how the new format is going to look like yet, so I was maybe thinking of balance in the regard it is now. I do find it interesting that you call the Spells/Traps lackluster, Sinistar Lust I can understand a little bit, though the idea is to use it when you have only 2 cards with the same name in your hand, which then let's you grab another copy of Lust and whatever else you want, and as for Wrath, I find it quite powerful, giving them up to 5000 extra ATK, but well, to each their own. Oh and about Air Torpedo, I thought that there was a card similar to mine when I made it, but it wasn't directly inspired by that. Anyway, I saw this after I already made the rest of the cards, though I am willing to take feedback on the new cards, speaking of which... Last cards are up! New Cards: Sinistar Karaka (Level 4 Effect Monster) Sinistar Izar (Level 4 Effect Monster) Sinistar Revati (Rank 4 Xyz Monster) Sinistar Nosaxa (Rank 4 Xyz Monster NOTE: The way I intended this to work is that it will not negate the activation of Normal Spells/Traps and such, only face-up cards will be negated, like Continuous Spells and Pendulums, so you could still use Dark Hole and it would resolve normally) Sinistar Pride (Field Spell) Sinistar Gluttony (Quick-Play Spell) Sinistar Envy (Normal Trap)

Sinistar is an Archetype of Level 4 Fairy/DARK monsters. They focus on Xyz Summoning, using effects in your opponent's turn and negating effects. Each Main Deck Monster has a Quick Effect that can only be activated in the opponent's turn, which is boosted if you control one of their Xyz Monsters in your Extra Monster Zone, and another Quick Effect that discards itself and another Sinistar card to Specials Summon a copy of itself from the Deck. The Xyz Monsters all have an effect that state "While this card is in your Extra Monster Zone, negate the effects of the turn player's monsters in their Main Monster Zone", which doesn't mean much to you for the most part, as most effects only work in the opponent's turn, and Sinistar Tegmine is even supported by having its effects negated, as it normally has an effect that halves its ATK while you control more monsters than your opponent, with it becoming a 3000 ATK powerhouse while negated, and playing the Xyz Monsters together provides a powerful force. Along with that, they have powerful Spells/Traps, the primary support card being the Continuous Trap called Sinistar Sloth, which let's you Xyz Summon in the opponent's turn and can end the Battle Phase as well, and also Sinistar Wrath, which boosts the ATK of your Xyz Monsters by 1000 for each monster your opponent controls, but locks down attacks from any of your other monsters, unless you use the build in effect that switches the equipped card to another Xyz Monster. Their name is a portmanteau and pun on a few things, Sinister, referencing the DARK Attribute, Sin, referencing the Spells/Traps being based on the seven deadly sins, and Star, referencing the monsters, which of course are based on the proper name of stars. As the title says, this Archetype uses the new Master Rules that will become the standard on April 1st 2020, which in short means that you no longer need Link Monsters to Special Summon Extra Deck monsters to the Main Monster Zone, so this Archetype plays around with that concept, by utilizing both the Extra Monster Zone and the Main Monster Zones in a way that would be significantly harder previously.

I like the presentation here, looks fancy! Anyway, I said my thoughts on YCM, but I should probably talk a little about the new card look. It's about time, Magic the Gathering changed after a while and that was for the better, as iconic as the cards are, they are outdated, with small card images and counting the Levels I still mess up if a Level is very high sometimes, and honestly hope they just do this for regular cards, though it sounds like that may not be how they handle things, since they are releasing these separate from the main set from what I gather. The cards look modern, yet you can still tell it's a YGO card immediately, some say they look like Bandai cards, which okay, I can see that, but what makes that so bad?

Primal Predator is an Archetype of Dinosaur/EARTH and FIRE monsters, being mostly Level 3 and 6. The are based around the opponent controlling monsters with 2000 or more combined ATK/DEF, which activates or boosts their effects in various ways, as well as battling and Synchro Monsters. Their main playstyle revolves around spamming as many of their Synchro Monsters as possible, though with the new rules, it made their previous playstyle slightly harder to replicate, though they had a few cards that made it more possible than I thought, though I still gave them a new Link Monster, as well as search and resurrection options. I normally put the Spells/Traps in order of Spells first, then Traps, though the original had a little story in the card names of those cards, meaning that in order for it to make sense chronologically, I had to put them in that specific order, so if that annoys you, I am sorry, but that's just how they were made back when I made these originally. Original Version (15/15): Main Deck Monsters: Primal Predator - Troodon Dinosaur/EARTH/Tuner Level 3 If your opponent controls a monster whose combined ATK/DEF are 2000 or higher, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand), but you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, other than Dinosaur monsters.

You can only use 1 "Primal Predator - "Hadrosaurus" effect per turn, and only once that turn. 1400/1600 Primal Predator - Ozraptor Dinosaur/EARTH Level 3 When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: You can Special Summon 1 "Primal Predator" monster from your hand, but its effects are negated, and it cannot be used as a Link or Synchro Material, except for the Summon of a Dinosaur monster, also it cannot be used as an Xyz Material.

Kind of odd that I never thought of Rituals simply Ritual Summoning with their monster effects, rather than a Ritual Spell, I gotta do something with that eventually, though these guys seem to be gimmick overload, with using only Ritual Monsters, no Ritual Spells at all, and having Quick Effect Ritual Summons too. I like them, how they play is hard to say though, they do have 3 Ritual Spells in their monsters, though it does hurt not being able to actually use the great Ritual Spell support, though some of the generic stuff can work I suppose.

Huh, Beast-Warrior that are WATER and WIND of all things together, I dig that combination, not something you see often, and with Beast-Warrior getting it, that's fun too, even though these guys look like humans, not animals, but I guess it's not the first time they have done that either. Their playstyle seems similar to Fur Hire a little bit, being Main Deck focused and using effects that will trigger each other, though they do have quite a different feel to them, and they seem a little strange to play, but have some powerful effects in there too, so it's hard to say. I like that they can make Rank 4s and 7s too, throwback to Harpies.

¡Alebrije! is an Archetype of Flip monsters with various Types, Attributes and Levels. They focus on Flip effects, Fusion Monsters and battle mechanics. All monsters have an effect that makes it so any monster they battle is unable to attack or activate their effects, locking your opponent's field down with useless monsters, which is also their main playstyle, as their Field Spell ¡Alebrije! World protect them from being destroyed in battle, as well as giving them a second attack and attack directly. In other words, you run into an opponent's monster and then get to attack directly afterwards. That's not all though, as they have two other cards that help this work even better, Creation and Obsession. Along with this, you have their Fusion Monsters, which help both bring out the two former cards, as well as having effects that make their Flip mechanics easier, as well as their ramming tactics work even better. They are intended to work with Polymerization, as many of their effects are able to fetch it, and they have a gimmick that makes you instantly able to Fusion Summon with it while ¡Alebrije! World is on the field. The Archetype name comes from the word Alebrije, which are Mexican sculptures and supposed mythical creatures, which have brightly colors and weird creatures, typically animals that are fantastical, and if you have never seen them before, they look amazing. The reason for the inverted exclamation mark is for two reasons, the first being that I thought it was cute to reference the way Mexican (and other Spanish speaking countries) write an exclamation, and that it sounds like "Wow, that's an Alebrije!", and the other reason being that it makes it easier to search for them on Duel Portal, in case others were to use the name. I was first introduced to them when watching Coco and knew I had to make an Archetype based on them one day, but it took a while until I found out what I wanted to do with them, and the concept got really weird really quick, but I think that the final concept is both a lot of fun and fits the theme of their unknown origins quite well.
