Hi guys, here is my second project, this time I explored the Time Leap mechanic. Designing generic and balanced cards for this mechanic was harder compared to Bigbangs, since you can only Time Leap Summon once per turn i opted for more boss monsters and less utility cards, also, some of these are really powerful considering of specific the summoning conditions and/or material requirement can be. Like I did with the Bigbangs, a lot of these cards are part of some random archetypes but are designed to be generically useful.
Notes:
*Arts were AI generated and edited by me.
*All cards are already scripted by me, I'll upload them soon on Discord.

*Note, i'm aware that this is probably the most broken card of the collection, the design philosophy was: "if Zeus is fine in Xyz mechanic, why not making something similar for time leaps which feels more undersupported, are often harder to summon and are restricted to 1 per turn?" but since i was not sure of how broken this thing could be i slapped in the restriction that makes your turn end as soon as you use it.
