I did, in fact, remake Lich-Lords to be an Xyz Deck
And not just a regular Xyz Deck, but a DARK "Number" Xyz Archetype.
Why? Because I got bored and decided to make a sort of parody series for Zexal's "Barian Emperors", and made 7 DARK Number archetypes as a result. This is one of them.
You don't need to care too much about that, though; I know why you're really here. You want funny zombies. You want to use the effect of Shinobi Necro and Doombearer Psychopompos. You want a decent Zombie ED engine that doesn't lock you into zombies immediately. You want funny zombie content. I am here to deliver.
Bear witness to the full extent of my powers of cringe card design and weep
https://imgur.com/a/P6T8c0wFor the serious part of this post I'll sum up how the updated version of LL plays compared to the old one:
- The Level 5 Lich-Lord monsters no longer give you anything when they self-destruct. If you want to gain bonuses from the destruction of Lich-Lord monsters, you need to use Lich-Lord's Black Book.
- As the name implies, the Extra Deck no longer has Fusions, and now focuses on a really funny Number Xyz monster that gains the effects of every monster attached to it. Why? Because I can.
- Most of the Continuous S/Ts now require Phylactery to work, which is how it should've been in the first place.
- Phylactery now actually has an activated effect, and its maintenance effect is now relevant and actually a maintenance effect instead of just a funny 500 lp tax each turn.
- There's now a RUM spell and it is probably the best RUM spell I've ever designed (next to another one of the archetypes from this group, which I won't spoil yet).
Yeah, that's about all I can think of to tell you in a post. Have fun, and enjoy the new zombies.
