[Custom Cards] Chemical Support | "Is That a Water Dragon in Your Pants, or Are You Just Happy to Duel Me?" (10 Cards)

As a kid I really liked Bastion. It was kind of cool to see a nerd obsessed with math and science do well in duels, given my fondness for those subjects. One of my favorite bits was how Sartorius actually feared his dueling abilities, and rather than fighting him directly decided to isolate him so he crumbled under loneliness and fell to the Society of Light so he could be recognized.

Anyway, despite that though, his decks sucked, like even by GX standards it sucked. Not only did his main boss monster needs to be summoned using a very specific spell by Tributing a very specific set of monsters, it also had the audacity to be a main deck nomi monster like Rainbow Dragon in spite of being summoned by a Spell that for all intense and purposes fuses the material uses into a new monster. Anyway, some new support came, and while I appreciate the added consistency, better Bonding Spells/Traps, and new boss monster, it's not enough to fix this deck. So I thought I'd have some fun with chemicals this time by making new support.

Rather than go over each card individually, this time I think I'll talk about them in a general sense, as many of the cards have similar design elements.

First off, I made retrains of the "-eddon" Dinosaur monster by using the concept of matter phase changes. Oxygeddon was in a gas form, and therefore WIND, Hydrogeddon was in a liquid form, and therefore WATER, and Carboneddon was solid, and therefore EARTH. However, there's also a fourth form of matter, Plasma, which fits nicely with FIRE. Anyway, while not on the field in these altered states of matter, in the hand or GY they return to their normal states and their names are treated as the original ones. Also because these are the places you'd most want them to have their original names to use for Bonding Spells/Traps.

They each have an effect that deal with them fighting specific types or Attributes of monsters based on the properties of the material they're based on. Plasma carbon being based on a gun that eradicates nearly any material, metallic hydrogen being a superconductor, and liquid oxygen expanding rapidly under heat. They also have trigger or quick effects specific to them based on the originals effects that will search a Bonding Spell/Traps, and then dump, SS, or search a monster listed on said Bonding Spell/Trap, so they aren't nearly as costly to activate.

Then we have Fire Dragon and its corresponding Bonding Spells/Traps. There really is no chemical equation for Fire, so I just used the fact that most Fires will need Oxygen, and a fuel source (most often Carbon), as the formula. Anyway, as expected of a Fire monster, it nukes the field and burns on summon. Also like the original Water Dragon it offers some modern recovery as well. The Bonding Spells/Traps are the chemical equations CO and CO2, and have their "fusion" effect and a grave effect focused on recovery.

Next is some support for the OG Water Dragon so you have a reason to go into it beyond a Rank 8 by Water Dragon Cluster. We have a Bonding Trap that dumps H2O directly from the deck to SS it, but then subjects it to Electrolysis, returning it to its original state. In addition, there's also a signature move card that I aimed to at least be as good as Scrap Fist so you wouldn't have any qualms about running it. It also recycles Water Dragon so you can reuse them with Cluster if you ever so need.

Finally, the last two cards are just some more consistency options that help promote this weird ass playstyle. Bonding Chemical Laboratory is able to turn an opponent's monster into a heat source to promote some chemical reactions, dumps your Bonding recipes to the Graveyard to fetch the materials needed to use them, and provides your Dinosaurs with a nice boost to their ATK through Fossil Fuels so you can proc either of the Hydrogeddon's effects. Finally we have Alchemic Bonding, based on a pseudo-science, but it allows you to Tribute your Dinosaurs from hand or field to transmodify them into new Dinosaurs. Of course alchemy's a tricky business, and can blow up in your face, and when it does, you might find any Dinosaur will do to create a chemical dragon. Also, it's a Continuous Trap, so you have an excuse to run Litmus Doom Swordsman if you want to make a Bastion deck.

I hope you enjoy seeing them, as always, be sure to tell me if you notice any spell errors, PSCT errors, or balancing issues, and I'll be sure to address them. Without further ado, here are the cards:
