    Twilight and Sunset:

    Twilight: "Hey Rarity, can I borrow your hair curler, I can't find mine."
    Rainbow: *eyes widen*

    Pinkie: "Oh my god, I just thought you guys were doing it, I didn't know you were in love!"

    Shining Armor: "What? No, no no no...what are you doing? GET OFF MY SISTEEEEEEEEER!"

    Revised Harmony Spirits

    I wanted a full set of these with proper art, so with permissions from mauroz, here they are. A couple effects have been tweaked to be consistent with modern vernacular in the card game and for my own better understanding of card design and balancing, and I also added a new "Tier 1.5" form for Twilight so she can have her own Fusion outside the ace monster, and finally added Sunset as a

    2024 will (hopefully) be the end

    The outline is done, the roadmap is drawn, all that remains is to follow it. There may be some bumps along the way, but we'll be on our way.

    My friends, let us step together beyond the horizon.

I am a bit curious as to what type of card you would give for Sunset Shimmer both for her demon self and her angel self

I actually have a fairy deck and if these were actual cards?! Brooooo! If the elements of harmony had their own deck or decks though I think I'd use either Sunset Pinkie or Twilight

4373771 sunset would probably be a type of card type that would be super OP in a bind...like a synchro or fusion

4373771 Sunset's deck for this fic is already written out, I'm just keeping it under wraps. :raritywink:

As for her angel self, I did have ideas for her to have retrained Pendulum variants of the Harmony Spirits, renamed "Harmony Guardians," which would include herself as "Harmony Guardian Compassio".

How about this for a card:
Harmony Cannon
Type: Spell, Equip.
Description: Can only be equipped to Harmony Spirit Risus. Increases her attack by 500 points, when this card is sent to the graveyard increase one Harmony Spirit monsters attack or defense by 500 until the end of the turn.

nicely done, though now I'm wondering when we'll see the Fusion Monster(s), you know?

Ooooh! Very nice! 10/10 would buy.:moustache:

Huh. I'm not used to other people posting card blogs on Sunday.

Looks like there should be an icon on Textbook that didn't load properly. Aside from that little hiccup, very neat stuff. Good to have a concrete sense of how this deck works. And I can only imagine how weird it has to be for everyone to see monsters so eerily similar to some of the best duelists in the school. (And Fluttershy.)

Nice cards, bro. Would buy if they existed.

I was wondering if I could have your permission to make different versions of the cards? No offense meant to the commissioned work, I just want to try my hand at making card art.

4374059 If you want, go ahead.

Definitely seems like a functional and fair archetype indeed:twilightsmile:. Since this deck's weakness seems to be sending monsters to the Graveyard to activate effects, no doubt that Twilight does have the max card consistency of three for each Harmony Spirit to balance out well with the three spell cards that allow her to either retrieve or special summon a Harmony Spirit monster from her graveyard.

That's definitely great deck designing if you ask me:ajsmug:.

These images should be added to your story, or add a link in the description that brings this blog!

4386553 There's a chapter link but good idea. :twilightsmile:

and the fusion monsters ?

4386703 secret for now to keep them a mystery

4386645 he's coming. :raritywink:

Very nice work, both of you. The original artwork is well done, and you wrote the card text with expert skill.

4407773 It's just YGO Card Maker. :twilightsheepish:

4407780

I know. I've used the card maker before, so I know how they turn out. I was actually impressed by the card artwork, as well how you wrote the effect text.

4408066 Ah, okay. Thanks. :twilightsmile:

I'm legitimately curious how nobody has noticed the similarities between twilight's monsters and her friends.

Also, are these cards par for the course compared to modern day yu-gi-oh cards? Cause these things are broken as all hell compared to what I played with way back in the first gen days.

4426643 Pretty much. You should look up cards like Shaddolls, Performages, and Qliphorts.

They were in a blog...why do I never check the blogs?
Thanks for pointing the way for me. Any plans to include the fusions and the CMC cards soon?

Harmony Balloon is literally just a worse Compulsory Evacuation Device. I could beat this deck with my 2012 deck with my eyes closed.

4437359 Good for you.

4437380 The "My old IRL deck could beat your custom card deck" might have been a bit much, but Harmony Balloon really is just a worse and less funny Compulsory Evacuation Device. Have you considered buffing it? Maybe having it place a Harmony Token on a card, amplifying its stats or effects? Or letting you take one card from your deck?

4437507 Well the main reason it has a discard cost associated with it is to trigger effects that activate when a Harmony Spirit is discarded. You may not meet the conditions to discard them by their own effects, for instance. Could reword to "Return a monster to the hand, then you may discard a Harmony Spirit" or to return any card to the hand, maybe, but I've already used it in the story and don't wanna rewrite card effs once they're in the open.

4437513 Then why not add an upgraded version?

4437513 By the way, what's the audience like for Yu-Gi-Oh fics? I loved this game as a kid, I still have my old-ass Zombie Deck.

4437528 It's gotten a decent response so far.

4437530 Today I found out The Dueling Network got a C+D, which sucks.

Looking forward to artworks for the currently blank cards...any chance your artist is willing to draw them? If not, It's no biggie.

4437530
Sorry to bug you, just wanted to relay my apologies one more time for being an ass about the link. I honestly only noticed the two links at the end, and didn't mean to get upset about it. My bad. As a secondary question, will there be art for the blank cards later on, or would that require a commission? If so, I'd be willing to chip in on the cost.

4472967 Nah, I have the funds to commission them if I wanted to, but I think the aesthetic is established fine with the base six to let readers interpret the rest.

And hey, forget about it, I have.:twilightsmile:

4472991
Gracias mi amigo. Glad to hear it. Not as thrilled about the card arts, especially Helios and the fusions. The description in the story makes them sound differently drawn. Oh well. Thanks for responding.

The pictures are not working. I'm getting a notice stating "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting. "

4587433 Thanks for the heads up.

4587433 And done. Thanks for letting me know about this. Photobucket and their $400-a-year-for-hosting bullshit can kiss my ass.

4587487
Have the blank ones not shown up yet? (Went here first.)

Why are some of the card blank?

4840100
No artwork was comissioned for them.

I Reached Harmony Gem and stopped reading.

Why?

Because that card is Broken AF no more to say.

It is basically Pot of Greed with a cost that looking at some of the Main Deck monsters is not a cost at all Mostly looking at magnanimity and with some setup at Magia.
That it is not a Hard Once Per Turn means that it is Heavily Abusable in the Archetype and if you have Magia, a Spell card in the GY and two other Random Harmony Spirits in your hand, then it becomes a +1 with the possibility of an immediate second activation being possible.
And after reading the monster again I realized if you splash Danger! monster as an engine you can make this even more consistent.

Conclusion: You were one Step before making Danger! monster in my opinion.

5010811
not to mention Chaos monsters are a thing since most of the monsters are LIGHT Monsters, you can make this deck Danger! Dragon V.2. Also, Dark World Dealings exist, even before this archetype was conceived, so it doesn't even have the benefit of hindsight in that department (for reference, this post came out about a year before Cybernetic Horizons graced the TCG with Dangers, which in itself was a few months before Soul Fusion, was out in October that same year, about 3 months later, which released some of the more infamous cards of the archetype. Dark World Dealings was made in 2007 November at the earliest).

Granted, as I implied here, hindsight is a bitch, especially since I think the pendulum era has yet ended when the fic was made, let along Dangers! being a thing. Though I admit Magnararity might need an emergency limit with that effect.

I mean you can win turn one, if u have honestas, harmony fusion, pietas, and another harmony monster in your hand from turn one. Play harmony fusion, then fuse honestas and the other harmony monster. Then, wait until ur opponent's turn and I don't know the specifics or pietas's card, but I assume that it means either player's battle phase. So, when they conduct their battle phase, immediately discards pietas to attack them directly, and you win.

Yeah that would work but you know that sooner or later Twilight's deck would get banned by Konami or at least have restrictions placed on it.
