Revamping the olden days

Basically, I had the idea of revamping archetypes that were either completely anime-only or were released but never flourished. I'm going to be creating brand new cards that fit into those archetypes that would make them, in my opinion, a hell of a lot better.


Dark Magician (W/ Pictures):

Spoiler:

Poker Knights(W/o pictures):

Spoiler:

If you can't read the text of any of the cards I provide pictures for, I'll put a description below it if needed.
Also, I just used pictures I found on Google, I'm not taking credit for ANY of the pictures used for the cards.

Bump, and practically done with the Dark Magician cards. I didn't add any traps, I didn't feel it was neccessary considering there's already made ones ( anime-only and RL ) that are good enough, and if I added real cards and didn't change them in any way it would be wierd.

Every time I read cards that are fan-made that try to buff an old favorite of mine, I cry on the inside.

I really wish they would make cards similar to these.

Your Dark Magician cards basically say: Special Summon, Special Summon, Special Summon, Special Summon. Woot. A little more involvement might be nice.

For Full House, list the materials on the cards themselves, and make summoning by Full House a requirement. Then, make the text for Full House "this card can only be used to summon monsters that require Full House to summon". I'm not being overly correct in the wording, so look at Dark Calling for example.

Could be a pain to word Card Dealer materials, but, as of right now, there are no other Level 4 or lower warrior-type "Knight of" monster, or Level 4 or lower "Knight of" effect monster so you could go with either of those.

Love it, love it, love it. You just reminded me how boneriffic dark magician girl is.

Yeah, I said "practically" done but then I realized I should have some backrow and monster hate. I'll probably do those today. The cards I did already were just to "speed up" the archetype, if you will, since it is incredibly slow with little to no support.

Full house I kind of rushed since it was late and I didn't want to forget about it. I'm considering changing the "King of" part to "Poker Knight" to make it simpler. Thoughts?

Ikr? There's a bunch of archetypes they either could have improved but didn't, or didn't improve for so long that there's no way they could fit into the current metagame. It's a shame, really.


Edit: Added more low level Dark Magician Support and more Spells/Traps. Changed the "Knight of" monsters to "Poker Knight", changed the text on the Poker Knight fusions and Full House.

Bump + Added more Poker Knight cards. Since I'm pretty sure I'm done with Dark Magicians, might move on to Yugi's archetypes and do Magnet Warriors along with a few more Poker Knight cards.

Oh, btw, Full House is already an existing card D:

But I don't know anymore Poker terms. D:
Uhm, how about changing it to "Royal Ace"?

Bump. Added more Poker Knight cards. I think I'm done with them, though, and with Atem in general. Can't think of more anime archetypes he used. I might just move on to Yugi and start with Magnet Warriors and Silents.

I love the poker knight arch!

The one thing the poker knights are missing: an Ace.
Ace + Jack = Black Jack

I'm thinking of a Joker Knights Archetype. It should be interesting when I'm done with them -_-

Oh cool. Also, I changed "Full House" to "Knight's Conduct". What do you think? Good name?

Meh. The fact you veered off of poker/cards related terms for the Spells saddens me, but it was inevitable, I suppose.

...King's Ambush looks pretty broken... hm. It isn't too versatile, and they only have 3, mostly 2, targets, but...
I can just imagine a poker knights deck running summoner monk and prisma. prisma -> send "~'s Knight" to grave, activate Ambush. Summoner -> Prisma -> send "King/Jack's Knight" to Grave, Xyz Emeral, SS, etc.

...but then again, Neos would be better at that, wouldn't it?

Yeah, Knight's Ambush is pretty broken. But if you look at Icarus Attack and Offering to the Snake Deity, who have a whole monster type to work with, and this which has only a select few to work with, it kind of evens out. And I will admit I'm not too familiar with Poker terms, if you could give some suggestions it'd be appreciated.

I'm not very familiar myself. For my Joker Knights, I plan on going with colloquialisms and made up terms, like "Crimson in Spades" (in Spades = in excessive amount/to an excessive degree).

You could make a field spell/ continuous spell called "Jester's/Joker's Courtoom" or something along those lines to support them. And for the Poker terms, I can probably just google 'em and see if a few fit.

I like them, but they are too broken.

Didn't even read the Poker Knight cards. I'm sure they're nice, but DARK MAGICIAN!
