Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Lifprasil: Oh cool we have our own god language.

*Teaches it to Alefpria.*

I dunno if I ever said it in the OOC, but Alefprians do speak 'divinity', mostly because Lifprasil didn't have much to work with when he was given the Insidie.

poog the pig

I think a fairly large number of living species still speak it, really.

To counter that, at that late point in the RP you could be running cards like Field Barrier to protect SitS and your deck will look a lot better and faster.

@Ammokkx

Field Barrier won't always be available, but I do see your point.

Anyway, back to the main topic of our discussion: Nova Jester. A searcher and obvious synergy with SitS for a quick Extra Deck play. Perhaps it holds quite a bit of power for only one card, even if the additional SitS effect won't always be available. How shall we compromise?

Some decks have none and all others I've looked through have either 1 MST or 1 to a few really situational ways to remove S/T. I'd chalk this up to you being unlucky.

@Ammokkx

Anyway, there may be few S/T removal now, but think about later on in the rp as people gather more points and buys more cards. I highly doubt such cards will be so rare then, not to mention others who have Field Spells of their own, considering the One Field Spell rule we have in this rp.

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

Pretty meaningless when you can get it twice in your opening hand consistently and the RP has a heavy lack of S/T removal.

@Ammokkx

Tell that to all the mst's I keep encountering

Angelo, Haas, Nathan (iirc)EDIT: Recalled wrong, Maisy and several others don't.

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

Okay, but Jester isn't a floater. So the not hitting graveyard point is moot. Also, your decks already thrives on consitency with 9x Sanctuary (in the form of terraforming and the one monster) and a bunch of cards that get better with it.

@Ammokkx

But it's not like Sanctuary can't be destroyed either, or even prevented from touching the board in the first place.

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

Okay, so this is why I don't like the card:

It's a generic searcher and a free synchro play. I have to mimic what others asked here: Why do they need that? Parshath already has Nova Summoner and Cards from the Sky for consistency.

@Ammokkx

Maybe because just about everyone else seems to have a direct searcher, if not several. There's Fluffal Dog and multiple Gustos for Joshua and Amelia, for example. Vincent can use a multitude of Chaos Emissary cards to pull out what he needs, all from his deck to the graveyard and back to the field with very little cost to his hand.

Jester, meanwhile, can only pull out ONE specific card, and even if I wanted to make a Synchro play, I'd still need Sanctuary, Even when I do gain access to more Level 8 Fairy Synchro monsters (or even R4NK Xyz Fairy monsters), I am still limited to certain plays myself, so I can't entirely just do whatever I like with the combo.

Another thing: once cards like Nova Summoner and such go to the graveyard, they're basically GONE. I have few options to interact with them, even fewer of which, if any, are actually related to the Parshath and Nova archetypes. Others have synergy with having their cards in the Graveyard, and I don't. Sure I can use cards like Beckoning Light or Monster Reincarnation, but they don't synergize very well. I'd like cards that grant more power to their specific archetype, and in the Parshath's case, that's gaining an early board presence while trying to prevent them from touching the Graveyard.

@1Charak2

That is a really awesome Uraraka gif, where'd you find it?

<Snipped quote by Jangel13>

The point isn't really to create an OP custom deck. Imo the point of custom cards is to either create an archetype that does something you feel isn't already expressed in yugioh as is, or make support for an archtype you feel is cool but isn't good.

Eklispe

The latter part is exactly what I'm trying to do. My previous mistake with all the past cards I made, imo, was that I was trying to get the archetype to do things it wasn't supposed to do. This time, though, I wanna focus more on Airknight Parshath's concept, dealing damage while drawing cards, possibly even future Extra Deck Parshath monsters, if Ammokkx will ever let me consider any again.

<Snipped quote by Ammokkx>

Why those two, out of curiosity?

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

Now on the topic of this custom card. I get your point about Airknight Parshath being hard to toolbox, but do you really need that many ways to search him out? Airknight Parshath isn't really a key card that branches into multiple different plays like Utopia or Stardust. I mean it goes into, what? Neo-Parshath. That's about it.

Furthermore, you already made a bunch of customs for the Parshath series that search and/or draw. Maybe this one's just a tiny bit overkill.

@LunarStandard

I'm sure you remember that almost all of the cards related to Nova and Parshath were deleted, leaving me with few options out there, and next to none within the Nova and Parshath archetypes themselves.

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

Don't see why Parsath needs a normal searcher considering the Nova's are quite floaty already.

@1Charak2

Maybe the Novas can do that, but there's nothing helping Airknight Parshath. Stat-wise, he's terrible, and while I can use cards like Freya and Solidarity to help reduce that weakness, they themselves don't help in bringing him out in the first place cuz he's Level 5. He takes up so many resources just to get him on the board that it's an extreme strain on my hand, usually taking up 2-3 other cards and leaving me with few, if any, ways to even keep him on the board.

Remember that he's a Level 5 monster from the Main Deck. With 2 cards, you can pull out much stronger things like Utopia or Stardust. Airknight Parshath, he ain't like those guys.

Admittedly, maybe those two are bad examples. Still, my point remains clear. The cost right now is too high for a single Airknight Parshath.

<Snipped quote by Scarifar>

does Nova Really need a one card Level 8?

@1Charak2

Technically it's 2-3, considering it does need very specific cards to achieve what it's meant to do, and Airknight Parshath doesn't have any reliable searchers to pull it out of the deck. Nova Summoner can only do that when destroyed by battle and sent to the Grave.
