Glad you like it! This one took WAY longer than most others. Just tryna find that right mix of the different ways the deck plays given the coin toss results.

The first time you activate this effect, the following effects are applied for the rest of the duel._ _⚪️If a Coin is tossed, you can Call It, and if you Call It correctly, draw 1 card._ _⚪️Monsters that mention ”Arcana Force” or “Coin” in their name or text require 1 less tribute to normal summon/set, and also, During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon/Set 1 Monster that mentions “Arcana Force” or “Coin” in it’s name or text in addition to your Normal Summon/Set._ _⚪️Once per turn, During either player’s turn, you can tribute 1 Face-up monster you control: Normal or Special Summon 1 monster that mentions “Arcana Force” or “Coin” in it’s name or text from your hand, deck or GY with a different name._

this is... honestly reasonable to bring the deck back. thank you for altering some of the new support from the coinflips to an automatic win/loss for the user into a potentially abusable negative you can even make your opponent suffer from.
the coin tossing is also because they are based on tarot cards, which have different meanings depending on whether the card is upright or upside down (this is better shown in the anime, where rather than flip a coin, the card rotates until the opponent says stop, with the heads and tails effects being for if the card is upright or upside down respectively)
In the past I thought of ideas for support for Arcana Force. My ideas were something like these: *Arcana Force Reading* (Normal Spell) If you control no monsters, reveal to your opponent 3 AF with different names from the deck, then at random your opponent must choose head or tail for each of them (but they can't choose the same option twice in a row) then special summon those monsters and apply their coin toss effect according to what your opponent choose. For the rest of the turn you can only summon light monsters. You can only activate "Arcana Force Reading" once per turn. Not sure if the effect is well explained, but the idea is that you choose the monsters but the opponent has an input on the "positions"/effects of the cards as if it's their future is being read. *Arcana crossing of destiny* Normal Spell Throw a coin and apply the effect according to the result: Head: send AF monsters with different names from the hand, field and/or deck for the fusion summon of a AF monster that requires 3 monsters. Tails: banish AF monsters with different names from your field and graveyard for the fusion summon of a AF monster that requires 3 monsters. *Arcana Force Extra The reader* (an AF with a "Sartorious design") Fusion monster. 3 AF monsters. Once per turn you can special summon Arcana Force monster with different names from your hand, deck, and/or graveyard (one each), if you don't control Light Barrier your opponent can choose which of the effects (head or tails) are applied from those monsters. Atk/Def 0. Maybe the fusion can get an additional effect.
Kinda surprising a card that takes control of another monster that's related to the Arcana Force ones hasn't been printed yet, given the whole premise of the time when Sartorious was the main villain. Also, yeah, Cup of Ace is spiritually related to the archetype. In Duel Links, Sartorious has a line with the card, and it even has the same unique animation effect as the Arcana Force cards (which shows them spinning and then being rightside or downside). Also also, there are a TON of unused lines in Duel Links for several of the currently unused major arcana cards.
cup of ace is the ace of cups from the minor tarot. sartorius also ran ace of sword, ace of sword ten, and several other spells and traps based off other tarot cards. also, reversal of fate is apparently meant to be the wheel of fortune card in the archetype
Not sure about the current format of the series but I love that you kept the Tarot Theme going instead of say venturing to something different with very little to tie in(referrals obviously to your Dark Clown Support).
The bad thing about giving support to arcane force is that it would be bad to avoid ZA WARUDO being abused or in case it is good support everything would degenerate into tier 0 ZA WARUDO turbo ftk
Arcana Force is pretty awesome, and I’m really glad you made some cards for it that, as far as I can tell, still make use of a lot of the older stuff potentially. The one thing I’m curious about is Arcana Force XX. How often are you able to summon it? A Link-4 seems pretty tough if you’re playing pure Arcana.
I'm just wondering if you would have added an effect to the spells that if light barrier was on the field you could choose the effect you apply like how Arcana Reading and Arcana Spread let's you choose the effect
The way i tried to give custom support is woth basic swaming and continous trap that swarms or destroy your own cards depening on the flip and the funny thing I thought to do is make it have "if you summon 22 Level 8 or lower Arcana Force monsters with different names during this duel you win." But your support does feel realistic, especially when you based them on what the tarot repersents, that Judgement too deck war effect is NASTY though XD
@@shinystarmiestudios4179 Gravekeepers technically got support with the "Gravekeeper's Trap" but to be honest the fact it's in Gravekeeper's deck was an afterthought
The World is a favorite of mine. I use it in a Danger deck and 50% of the time I get the effect off in MD. I'd say 90% of the time the effect goes off, my opponent surrenders. The problem with a monster like The World (and overall this whole archetype) is that it has no engine. I'll grant that it came out in a time where that wasn't really a thing. BUT it needs to be now, especially given that due to the lack of special summoning it possess, how are you supposed to tribute out The World and have two monsters to toss and have game with damage? It's not happening. I use Skull Dread, Succession or Monster reborn after dumping him to the grave to easily summon. Another example of a deck that's received an insane amount of support that came out around the same time, is Sacred Beasts. They have a competitive engine, if you bolster it with the right staples.
The problem with The World is that it's horribly designed lol. If Arcana Force had an engine that could reliably bring it out, it would be banned. So Konami needs to take the deck in a direction away from that.
@@customcardguy That is an interesting thought but I have videos of me doing so with Dangers. So, what's the difference? It's like the bans and limits for cards like Monster Reborn. Makes no absolute sense to me when every archetype has multiple in engine ways to do things far more busted than a single special summon from the grave. I am glad that Arcana doesn't have support that pushed it in such a direction, then I wouldn't be able to do it all. Arguably more consistently than anything they'd concoct.
Vast majority of decks these days can make use of the cards sent to their GY, and have 1-card starters that can help them climb out of the topdeck war. Didn't run into issues on testing, and its effect is akin to Sky Scourge Norleras.
Funny thing is the other day I made a custom card called double headed coin which makes all coin flips heads until the end of the turn and people said it would make arcana force too Strong
I think tarots are cool and this didn't have to be a coin flip deck. Oddly enough Amazement and Mimighoul does what this deck should have done. Give control to opponent and let them choose effects that will hurt them or how Amazement lets you chose an effect if you hit your monsters and others if you hit the opponent's monsters
Can you make custom cards around inferno tempest it's my favorite card. If you do make it some effects I use in my actual deck for it are necroface of course but some other ones I use are double edged sword, soul release even though it's too slow and bricky so a revamp of that would be fire and burial from a different dimension with is also slow and bricky when drawn to early. I just want to see how Konami could potentially make this card and deck meta or closer to use lol
This support is AMAZING, but sadly “clashing”, obly due to the fact that there are already cards based on the “The Hierophant”, “Wheel of Fortune”, and “Death” tarot cards
Not bad but we should have had a fusion monster not a link seeing from what era it came from or make more akin to monarchs which locks down you oppents extra deck.
Would make sense era-wise, but didn't want to bloat things with fusion-summoning cards/effects. Could do contact, but I liked the arrow pointing effect for coin-tossing consistency
best way to fix arcana force….. make them have two coins toss effects, one is good and the other is really good. Its just that simple. No one is playing cards that have a strong chance to make they game worst for them.
The reason they're like that though is because the lore on which they're based, so it's not as simple as just giving 2 good effects. That's why, at least in this set, some bad effects apply to both players, and some can be leveraged to benefit you.
@@customcardguy ya i get what you sayin, but in modern yu gi oh its to fast for the deck slow play style. if it is even to work they have to buff new cards effects.
I liked a lot these supports however I would personally drop the bad tails effect in favor of something else or just make so the tails affect both players fields
I think keeping some "bad" effects was crucial to align with the lore. The ones that are legitimately bad, I applied to both players (wheel, reaper). Sun's "bad" effect comes with a positive, and can also be given to your opponent to lock them. Strength's "bad" effect can similarly work for you when you give it to your opponent. And then Hierophant's "bad" effect has combo potential with the deck.
WOOOOOOOO! Can’t wait I even made some of my own version (making them sneaky having effects like the artfacts were they could set them selfs in the spell and trap zones as a trap but they could activate like counter trap cards)
I’m impressed. I wasn’t exactly sure how it would go with your explanations, but the demonstration certainly proved the design is functional.

You somehow spoke Hierophant into existence
so far the only change I'd make is making judgment's summoning condition "4 Monsters with a coin tossing effect, including an "Arcana Force" monster."

In the past I thought of ideas for support for Arcana Force.
My ideas were something like these:
*Arcana Force Reading* (Normal Spell)
If you control no monsters, reveal to your opponent 3 AF with different names from the deck, then at random your opponent must choose head or tail for each of them (but they can't choose the same option twice in a row) then special summon those monsters and apply their coin toss effect according to what your opponent choose.

Throw a coin and apply the effect according to the result:
Head: send AF monsters with different names from the hand, field and/or deck for the fusion summon of a AF monster that requires 3 monsters.
Tails: banish AF monsters with different names from your field and graveyard for the fusion summon of a AF monster that requires 3 monsters.

Fusion monster.
3 AF monsters.
Once per turn you can special summon Arcana Force monster with different names from your hand, deck, and/or graveyard (one each), if you don't control Light Barrier your opponent can choose which of the effects (head or tails) are applied from those monsters.
