Hello everyone, and welcome to my new forum. I love when old archetypes get new support with new mechanics, most notably Extra Deck mechanics. When I first saw Xyz's, I just saw so many possibilities for old archetypes getting an Xyz or 2 to give some new options. And with Pendulums, I just saw ideas for balance ways old archetypes to swarm like they wanted, but couldn't. Then Links came out, and I honestly felt that so many archetypes could get their own, to help with the new rules. Now, out of the 3, Links, despite being the newest, is already doing better at breathing in semi-new archetypes, but Pendulums helped out older archetypes better. I would really like to see archetypes from before Pendulums get new life, which is what this forum is for. Now for a few rules:
1. The archetype has to have been released before Pendulums were released to count as Legacy at this point. It could have received support since Pendulums were released, but it had to been an archetype before Pendulums were released.
2. The new Support has to be related to an Extra Deck type, which at this point are Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Pendulums, or Links. It can be things like Fusion Spells/Traps, Tuners for Synchros, Rank-Up Magic for Xyz's, but has to be related to the Extra Deck.
3. It has to be, at the least, sort of restricted to the archetype. It doesn't have to be just for the archetype, but it can't just be generic that anyone can use. For Fusions, that means at least 1 of the materials has to be from the archetype. For Synchros, as long as ether the Tuner or the Non-tuners are from the archetype, your fine. There is enough of the semi-generic type/attribute support in that category that almost any archetype, with some Tuners, can make Synchros, hence why locked to an archetype. For Xyz, as long as it's not just any monsters of same Levels, it can count, but if not locked to an archetype, it's has to have some effect for the archetype to use. For Pendulums, it has to have something restricted in what it can Pendulum Summon. Way too many Generic Scales exist as is, restrict them. For Links, again, like Xyz's, not locked to an archetype, but has to have some effect for the archetype.
4. Finally, no joke or meme cards. I don't like meme's in general, and I don't want them in this forum. The new support doesn't have to make the deck tier one or anything like that, but it does have to improve the archetype, and not make them the new Spyral's or Zoodiac's in terms of broken.
That's it for rules. Feel free to submit cards on this forum, or if you make a forum just for one archetype related to this, let me know, and I will link it. Thanks again for reading this!
Edit: There is a word document for this forum and other Legacy support, in case you don't want to go through the entire forum for a certain support. It will be updated when I see new posts on this forum.
