Hi hi hi ! Let my hype you on a little thing i did. The Vaisseau Archetype !
first thing first, here are all the cards of this archetype, no extra deck here, we aint playing thoses things around here ! :
https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=12881235 Let's give you a rundown on everything in it, first of the concept. Vaisseau is an archetype of Insect Pendulum Ritual Monster, seems like a fever dream ? Good, you are in the right mindset. More seriously, when the first ritual pendulum was introduced in tcg, i loved him so gently caressing much i created thoses. Problem, how to say that, it was either too busted or not enough, and to find the right balance between the two was a gently caressing nightmare. So, i tried and tried with restriction, limitations, attributes that don't have too much busted supports, type, and that's how i decided to go on mechanically wise :
You cannot pendulum summon any of thoses bugs from your hand, only your extra deck, meaning you have to cheat them on the field through the ritual spell, they are a control deck anyway, so it shouldnt be so much of an issue to have like two of them on field.
So how does it works in theory. well the deck turns around two ritual spell. Ascension et Fascination (yes the card's name are in french). Fascination is the generic ritual spell that can ritual summon those fellas from hand or extra deck face up, and isnt opt. Ascension is the secret sauce. It ritual summon only from the extra deck, and can use 1 monster from deck as sole material. a second pendulum summon, in a sort.
That sole monster is Chevalier, who's monster effect is non existant, basically a vanilla. It does have a scale effect that allow you, in exchange of monsters from your hand (wich all of the vaisseau require bare two) to draw and to add a ritual spell from your deck to your hand. He is the backbone of the archetype in a way.
In a similar fashion, Princesse is the monster you will want to ritual summon the most, as it is the searcher with a level 6 and decent stats. It can add a monster on special summon and if that summon is a ritual summon, you can add back a ritual spell from your gy to your hand. Simple but effective. Her scale effect is therefore, mediocre at first glance. It trades card from your hand to negate a card on the field or protect your card from any effect once this turn.
But it works well with the boss monster of the deck, Roi du vaisseau. His scale effect is to add the continuous spell for 1 monster from your hand, field or face up extra deck, and for two to destroy a spell or trap. It's monster effect tho, and i'm sorry if i worded it poorely in the effect since it doesnt have antecedent, activate the effect of a Vaisseau card in scale during your opponent's turn. Princesse becomes more interesting scales with him on the field. tho, if you didnt ritual summon it, you cant activate his effects during your turn.
The continuous spell, classic screw, in activation, adds a vaisseau from deck, and once per turn when a vaisseau leave the field, it add one from your extra deck to your hand. It's no hidden city, but it keeps the card advantage going, tho it could be a bit more unique, but i dont know how yet.
With them comes 3 other monster, first is Dame du vaisseau, wich is, simply put, wavering eyes on leg. it get's the scales set with ease, and have some spell and trap recovery if you decide to summon it. she is the main reason roi cant activate during your turn if you just ritual summon it, the advantage would be ominous.
The trap it can reset is simple too, a less powerfull Time pendulumgraph, destroy a pendulum monster card you own and one your opponent own, and if yours was a ritual, send another to the gy.
the two other monster are the "bad guys", with princesse counterpart, Tyran, who discard ritual spell to activate it's effect, special summoning a vaisseau monster from the extra deck, and if you discard two, special summon one from deck, but negating the effects of both. It's monster effect is simple monster removal, if you control a monster that doesnt have the exact atk of a vaisseau monster on the field, it can destroy it.
Roi counter part is Atrocité, with also help to put scales on the field, by putting a vaisseau monster from the ed in the scale maybe futur support will have pendulum extra monster, who know), it's monster effect is a big reduction of atk by shuffling monster from the Extra deck back to the deck.
And that's all of them. Dunno if they are fair or not, i tried to make them, but hey, you are the judges.
