More of the Archetype to follow.
Pyrah

Sounds cool to me.
Aarikku

Neh... it sounds cool, but Shmod needs cards that are easy to play. If you want to finish Molten Sigma Dragon, go for it, but without Fusion substitutes, it'd likely never get played. (Assuming it gets in the game)
Aarikku

Huh... didn't notice you edited this.

I'm not a fan, for reasons I expressed earlier. It's hard to play, though it's interesting that my Mountain Golem could become a volcano.

Molten Hatchling is nifty, but Forging makes it seem like you've never seen Re-Fusion before.
Naardaas

I've seen Re-Fusion, and I worded Forging as I did so that it would be easier to use.

Also, I do like the idea of Mountain Golem becoming a Volcanic Dragon.

Now that the Archetype is putting itself together, its pretty easy to see how it works.
Naardaas

The Archetype continues. Still more will come.
Aarikku

Dude, just edit your original post to make new ones.

I don't see why you're saying [Molten] monster while you gave them the Lava category. I made categories for just that reason, y'know.
Aarikku

Re: Molten Archetype (Complete)

Okay. I'm going for the full Archetype review in one go. Comments in orange.

(Level Seven) Molten Sigma Dragon (FIRE/EARTH)
Category: Fusion -  Lava Dragon
Text: "Sigma Dragon" + 1 Level 3 or higher EARTH monster
This card can only be summoned with [Molten Forging]. If this card destroys a monster in combat, inflict 1 damage to your opponent. If this card is destroyed, summon back* [Sigma Dragon] ignoring the summoning requirements.
ATK: 7000
DEF: 5500

Your reluctance to make monsters without ridiculous ATK is impressive. I don't have any problem with it, it just seems unnecessary.

(Level Seven) Molten Ore Dragon (Fire/Metal)
Category: Fusion -  Lava Dragon
Text: "Titanium Dragon" + 1 Level 3 or higher FIRE monster
This card can only be summoned with [Molten Forging]. If this card destroys a monster in combat, it gains 1000 ATK. If this card is destroyed, summon back [Titanium Dragon] ignoring the summoning requirements.
ATK: 6300
DEF: 5800

I like it. Again, very unnecessary.

(Level Two) Molten Hatchling (Fire)
Category: Dragon
Text: When Fusing to create [Molten Sigma Dragon], this card can be treated as [Sigma Dragon] by tapping (1).
ATK: 1750
DEF: 500

Perhaps you should make it "While this card is in play".

(Level Three) Molten Soldier (Fire)
Catergory: Lava
Effect: Any cards destroyed in combat are removed from play.
ATK/ 3200
DEF/ 2300

Destroyed in combat against Molten Soldier or at all? It seems detrimental to the theme, what with Molten Forging able to fuse things from the Graveyard.

(Level Three) Molten Fossil (Fire)
Catergory: Lava
Effect: Any cards destroyed in combat by this card can be returned to the top of the opponent's deck, instead of going to the discard pile.
ATK/ 3300
DEF/ 1200

Same thing as the Soldier.

(Level Two) Molten Frog (Water/Fire)
Category: Lava
Effect: When this card is destroyed, draw 1 card. If [Molten Minefield] is in play, draw 2 cards instead.
ATK/ 2100
DEF/ 900

A cost-two Draw Monster? Why? Also, it should have the Frog category.

(Level One) Molten Rex (Fire)
Category: Lava
ATK/ 1900
DEF/ 0

What's to say? It's the Level One Beatstick of the theme.

(Level Two) Molten Knight (Fire)
Category: Lava
Effect: If this card destroys a monster by battle, it gains 500 ATK.
ATK/ 2200
DEF/ 1900

Lower its ATK a little. By turn two, a player could have a 2700-ATK monster. The opponent would be screwed without some ridiculous combo, since all Level Two monsters have 2600 or less ATK.

(Level One) Molten Roc (Fire)
Category: Lava
Effect: If this card destroys a monster by battle, destroy it.
ATK/ 2300
DEF/1000

It's a better version of Unstable Pyrodon, which is already a great card.

(Level Two) Molten Phoenix
Category: Lava
Effect: If this card is destroyed, summon it back with 500 less ATK than when it was destroyed. If its ATK would be 0, this ffect cannot be used.
ATK/ 2500
DEF/ 2000

Pretty good. In Yugioh, it'd be broken, methinks, but it's fine in a game without Tribute monsters.

(Level Three) Armageddon Eruption
Spell
Effect: Lower the ATK of 1 Lava Monster by multiples of 1000. For each multiple of 1000 ATK lowered, draw 1 card. Then, send all cards in your Deck to the Graveyard.

...Uh... okay. Sure.

(Level Three) Molten Forging
Spell
Remove the Fusion-Material Monsters on a Lava Fusion Monster, or one that includes Lava in its category, from play from your Field or either Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster.

Looks good. Three might be a bit high for its Level, though.

(Level Three) Molten Minefield
Field Spell
You can pay this card's Mana cost by discarding Lava creatures totaling 3+ Mana costs. Non-Lava monsters lose 100 ATK x their Mana Cost. Once per turn, you can destroy a Lava creature to destroy a face-up card.

I like it. Nice work.

(Level Two) Molten Blast
Trap
Destroy 1 Lava Monster and 2 other cards in play.

Look! It's Icarus Attack! Nah, but it's cool.


Again, your theme has ridiculously high Levels, meaning the deck is almost useless for the first few turns.
Naardaas

(Female Voice) First, the Fossil. It is a form of Shmod lock; opponents cannot get anywhere because they draw the same bloody cards over and over again. OR they are forced to draw out their best monster to deal with it, making it vulnerable to Minefield's effect.

(Male Voice) The frog is suppost to be used as an easy method of destruction; chuck it in the volcanic geysers that act as Mines for the field, geyser erupts destroying monster, you draw 2 cards. In theory a little to easy to use, but in theory so are your frogs, so its the T.A.D.P.O.L.E. Calling the Des Frog black.
Naardaas

I know I said this archetype was complete, but I lied. It's not finished, and if you look closely, you can see there are new cards.
