Okay I get the basic idea of what this archetype is trying to do, using spells and effects to make the Lunarians more powerful (or summoning more powerful Lunarians) then recycling these cards. It's a fair strategy, has plenty of aggro potential and would probably work really well in a long term duel where the endgame becomes vitally important. My one complaint though is that I'm not seeing all that much of a cost required when using them...

I'm afraid that simply skipping your standby phase doesn't cut it as a cost because it doesn't appear to put you at a disadvantage at all. Maybe if some of these monsters needed the standby phase to use their effects it'd be valid, it might even force the opponent to make some interesting tactical judgements if they have to choose between which effects they'll be using that turn. But as for now you could actually use that as an ADVANTAGE if you play your cards right. For example you could make Swords of Revealing Light stay on the field for longer if you really wanted to mess with the opponent (which could leave some enemies screaming if you combine it with Lunarian Library and Gold Sarcophagus).

Maybe, as a suggestion (feel free to ignore it and go with something completely different of course) you could make more use of that skip the draw phase thing as a cost. You'd have to choose between another card and getting to use your monster's effects, if you used one such effect there wouldn't be any further cost to using more of such effects for the rest of the turn, getting to return cards from the graveyard to the hand could make up for it, it could allow for a back-up strategy involving things like the Infernity monsters that benefit from damaged hand advantage and it could make for some pretty damned good synergy with Reckless Greed.

Meh, just juggling around ideas here.

There are actually three Sets in here, the Lunarian Set, the Lucite Set, and the Offbranch Lucite Set known as Daitenshi/Weapon Set. None of the Sets are finished currently, and these are only posted as they are now, because I want them for Reilina's deck currently. There will be cards coming out soon that have Cost Requirements, but not all sets rely on such things(Look at Gladiator Beasts, Elemental Heroes for examples)

We spoke of this before, and it was deemed alright by the Admin last time, plus you are forgetting that this can also work for the opponent with things such as Nightmare steel cage, or skipping damaging effects, or summon effects on the side of Lunarian Dancer and Silver Idol. I look at things from a Universal Perspective, and it makes it hard to pair of Those Two cards with other cards that rely on the standby phase for certain abilities, such as revival or drawing, or damage dealing. It also wouldn't work with Future Fusion, being that if you used Lunarian Idol or Dancer with it, you would never get your fusion. Just an Example

The problem with Skip the draw phase is that if you have the right set up, you can just wait for your opponent to run out of cards, yeah, I know, why am I complaining about that idea, well it is because as fun as it is to make an opponent run out of cards, it would be slow, and actually have a higher potential positive effect, such as when people seal the field so you can't summon, special summon, set, fusion, synchro, play a magic or trap card. Doing so would make such a freeze unable to be effective, for such freezes usually are meant for causing the opponent to draw out by discarding cards from their hands.

[Chibi of Doom]

Well those two archetypes don't make you pay costs, but they have requirements (unless you're going with something left field like little city) which in my mind function the same way. They're hoops to jump through, things that can put you at a potential disadvantage, things a clever opponent with the right deck might be able to work around. But fair enough, if you've not released them all yet then that's fine (just don't be too surprised if I try to work out how these cards would work when played together).

Granted there are quite a few cards that could be rendered useless if you had to keep skipping your standby phase, it's just that you can get around that by simply not putting these cards into your deck or including all the rare few cards that would actually benefit from it. If you're clever when building the deck it wouldn't be a disadvantage in the slightest which is what I'm really worried about.

Lets be honest though, such decks that are based upon such an absolute lockdown are in the minority compared to decks that aren't. Plus if you were really in a situation where you couldn't summon, use effects or play any spell/trap cards then wouldn't it follow that anything you could possibly do to skip your draw phase would be negated too? If that was the case you'd still run out of cards, advantage gone, game over.

I see them all as fair. They don't have game-winning effects, unlike some of the new cards with broken effects(yes, Herald of Perfection((Perfect Declarer)), I'm talking about you). About this Standby Phase......it's mostly skipped anyways, unless a card specifically says: "During the Standby Phase" and how many cards actually do something helpful besides Future Fusion, Gold Sarc, and others. We all need hand advantage and with these, you can run out quick, but I see them benefiting the user and not the opponent, which a lot of cards seem to do. As long as they're not broken, I say they should be accepted and plus, there are so many ways to get around these cards and most of them are similar in getting around other decks.

These were accepted with no changes before so why is it different now? Absolute lockdowns are what most people want to build, but when it comes to traps, it conflicts with spell cards(sometimes), and monster effects and that also will hurt your spells and traps, causing them to be a dead draw, but you can easily get your spells activated but make your opponent's spells dead draws. Field advantage is what I see these cards doing and plus, their effects are suitable and they're what most cards have. If more explanation is needed, let me know.
