Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

Uh, I did say I'd prefer to RP that out. I don't know about you, but describing a character's personality just seems restrictive. Particularly when I just made that character and have no idea what to do with him. Hell, I might just drop his backstory completely and make up a new one.

Goliath, the First Steelswarm
Level 10
Atk/Def: 3500/0
Effect: This card can only be normal summoned by tributing 3 Steelswarm monsters you control. If summoned while Abyss of Infestation is on the field, no other cards or effects can be activated for the rest of this turn, and you can pay 1000 lifepoints to destroy all cards on the field but this one. Once per turn, you can target one Steelswarm monster in your graveyard. Special summon it, and if it requires a tribute(s) to be normal summoned, you can activate its effect (you do not pay the cost).

I'll just throw this version out there to see how it fares. I'm also beginning to have second thoughts about using this deck, so depending on the other decks we get, I might switch over to a pure/mostly pure Steelswarm deck.

Just... ugh... I dunno, I'm really stressed out right now for some reason. My CS feels like shit and I'm already starting to think my deck might be too powerful for what I otherwise supposed to be a fun and casual Yugioh RP. I don't want to be the reason this RP grows unenjoyable.

Or in my (and Yuma's) case, XYZ summon.

Yuma: I shall now XYZ the monster that just appeared in my deck to turn this duel around!

Everyone who actually plays by the rules: Wait... you can't just add cards to your decks during the duel! That's illegal....

Back to the custom cards, I still kind of want Goliath to have 4000 attack. The main problem people had with Hercules is that his attack was too low for a level 10 (they even said his effect sucked), so I decided to create a new "boss" monster for the Steelswarms that was superior to him. I'll still be tweaking him before using him, that way I can come out with a boss monster that is better than Hercules but still fair to others.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

Okay, made some edits to the custom cards. Also added in an extra deck, which I forgot about earlier.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

Name: Lyall Castellan

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Lyall stands at around 5'10", an average height for someone his age. He has a strong and athletic looking build, but doesn't exactly look like some star athlete capable of benching 1000 pounds and running a marathon all in one day. The duelist has black and wavy hair which covers his ears and falls down just a bit below his neck, meaning he can twirl his hair with ease when he's acting all non-chalant and carefree during duels. Lyall's skin is brown in tone, and would probably look darker if he didn't always wear his usual getup of dark blue jeans, dark brown boots, crimson shirt, and black coat. He has the crest of the Iswarm on his right hand.

Background: Lyall comes from a place called Aria City, a location noted for its wealthy groups, top duelists, luxurious scenes, and behind the scenes degradation and corruption. A place like this was a place for the wealthy, so if you were poor, you were shit out of luck and either had to resort to crime or begging the city and wealthy for whatever aid you could get.
Lyall and his family were not that unfortunate, and were in fact one of Aria City's more influential groups. They weren't all too bad, and actually made several decent efforts in improving the morality of the wealthy and conditions of the less fortunate. Lyall did his part by becoming a duelist and participating in the city's grand tournaments, afterwards using the prize money for good causes around Aria City. An all around good kid even with his pride...
His works attracted the attention of the Luxim Association, the city's prime group. Dueling its members to prove his skill, Lyall was drafted into the Association, where he learned that its purpose was to protect society from the malevolent beings of the Shadow Realm and rogue Shadow Duelists as well.
Lyall was honored to be part of such a noble work and carried out his tasks of confiscating decks inhabited by dark duel spirits after defeating their owners. Everything was going well for him and the association until the day he found a deck inhabited by his first Iswarm monster, Evilswarm Kerykeion....
Things took a different turned afterwards, with Lyall keeping the Iswarm cards he'd find for himself and allowing his spirit to become tainted by their power. He went rogue on the Luxim Association, and afterwards did quite a bit of memorable things that turned Aria City upside down, inside out...

Personality: I'm leaving this blank, I'd rather RP it out than try and get everything down here.

Type: Field Spell Card
Effect: Face-up "Iswarm" monsters you control gain 500 attack. "Evilswarm" monsters you control are also treated as "Steelswarm" monsters.

The selected card cannot be set or played this turn.

2. Steelswarm Egg Cluster

Once per turn, you can target one Steelswarm monster in your graveyard and special summon it. Then, you can activate its effect (you do not pay the cost, if needed). The special summoned monster cannot attack the turn it is summoned.

Image: Goliath resembles Steelswarm Hercules, but is larger and more fierce looking. Goliath's body is jet black and covered in white markings and patterns, and the Steelswarm crest on his chest burns a bright red color. His head does not have the Stag Beetle design Hercules has, but it does have a large horn resembling. Goliath Beetle's protruding from the front.

And done. That took me forever to write up...

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

Nevermind

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

Hm, I guess it's fine then. I have a 4000 attack monster in progress too anyway.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

By my standards they don't look so bad. Maybe the 4000 attack monster is a bit much since most Assault Mode monsters top their attack at around 3500, but that's the only thing thats concerning about it.

I'm trying to make a Gimmick Puppet deck on YGOPro... and holy shit.... did they just get done watching the Human Centipede when they designed Shadow Feeler?

On the mention of Gimmick Puppet's, maybe we should ban them too. Their sole focus is getting out Rank 8 XYZ...

I'm putting in a reserve for Koa'ki Meiru then, if we're calling archetypes.The fact that you're lswarming honestly has nothing to do with this. I've taken a liking to these guys lately =w=EDIT: That weird moment when I'm scoping for names, and it turns out Ragna is a legit and real name.EDIT2: Finished everything but the decklist. I'll return with that tomorrow, since she's using a deck I actually built the other day. Somebody remind me why Koa'ki Meirus aren't in use again?

I've only dueled against Koa'ki Meirus a few times before, but I've never really seen their potential utilized properly. From what I read on the wiki, they're good against light and /dark/ attribute decks, and seeing how Iswarms are all Dark attributes...

Honestly I'd understand if you're using these guys to counter my deck. Iswarms can be pretty powerful when things have been set up properly.

Yu-Gi-Oh! - Hijacked

It's gonna be a while before I get my CS up, but before anything...

I CALL ISWARMS!

This deck includes Steelswarms and Evilswarms. Therefore, nobody take them >_>...
