Oh hey, you guys are trying for another YGO RP. Hopefully it doesn't die like the last time, that was a bit of a bummer and kept me from applying.

Buuut you guys seem a lot more active now in this new one. So I'm like, 50/50 on wanting to join, but I wanted to use a self-made Pendulum archetype. Just because I like the idea of Pendulums as a new mechanic, and think they're pretty rad. The thing I'm wondering is, am I allowed to use this self-made Pendulum archetype? If so, that might just seal the deal.

Edit - I forgot, before people flip the lid and go "OH GOD PENDULUMS NOOOOOPE" I come from games such as Buddyfight and Vanguard, so I lean more towards the balance side of things, as in cards should have costs before being played/activating effects. Basically what I was thinking for this Pendulum archetype is to be something of a reckless deck, at least in YGO standards. I pay life points when I summon most of my monsters and/or pay life points for their effects, and than I had the idea of something such as a monster that mills the top, I dunno, 3 cards of my deck, and get +300 life points for each X-type milled. Stuff like that. Gives a reckless vibe of "I'm either going to kill myself by burning myself to death, or decking myself out".

Think turbomilling Lightray-Lightsworns mixed with that Gishki ritual 4000k monster that pays 1000 life points to draw and kill a card. Except instead of milling my deck to special summon huge monsters like JD, I'm milling my deck to gain more life to keep up with paying the cost for the self-life burn. Most of the monsters being Pendulums is to represent the never-give-up reckless idea, while allowing me to focus on level 5-7 monsters that will have large life point costs to activate certain effects/large milling costs to you know, as I said, keep up with the giving up life points idea.
