to justify the lock

Network Pirate, Borreload Dragon
DARK/Dragon/Link/Effect
3000ATK/Link 4 (Center Left, Center Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right)
3+ Effect Monsters
When a player Summons a monster(s) to a zone(s) a Link Monster(s) points to (Quick Effect): You can target one of those monsters; it gains 500 ATK but its owner takes 500 damage.

[pure eagle]

You summon a tuner and a non tuner

[forest vortex]

Let it be summonable with Crystrons Monsters from your Hand like a Codetalker

[nocturne sphinx]

all I did was make a Link-4 sidegrade.

[pure eagle]

Of?

[nocturne sphinx]

you'll see.

[quick turret]

what does being vague here accomplish? genuine question

oh I'm a moron ignore

[dire leaf]

Halq is banned. Hard to be a sidegrade when the other card in question is banned.

[waxen maple]

And submitted.

What is the deal with this chick

[lethal pecan]

Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon Frame
Rank 8, LIGHT, Dragon, Xyz, Effect, 2500/3000
2 Level 8 Dragon monsters
You can detach 2 materials from this card; During the End Phase of this turn, you can add 1 Dragon monster, or 1 “Tachyon” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand. During your opponent’s turn, when your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card and send 1 “Rank-Up-Magic” Normal Spell from your Deck to the GY; this effect becomes that Spell’s effect when it is activated. You can only use each effect of “Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon Frame” once per turn.

[ember drift]

Cool concept

[lethal pecan]

Fateful Moon Dragon
Level 8, LIGHT, Dragon, Effect, 0/3000
You can send this card from your hand to the GY; Add 1 Level 8 Dragon Effect Monster with 2500 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand, then, if it was a LIGHT monster, you can Special Summon it in Defense Position, but negate its effects, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck while its on the field, except Xyz Monsters. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Dragon monster you control with a Level; increase or decrease its Level by 4. You can only use each effect of “Fateful Moon Dragon” once per turn.

[fathom pivot]

Link-3/Psychic/EARTH/Link/Effect
ATK/2300
↙️⬇️↘️
2+ Effect Monsters, including a “P.U.N.K.” monster
Cannot be used as Link Material. 
“P.U.N.K.” monsters you control cannot be targeted by card effects and gain 500 ATK.
When this card is Link Summoned: You can pay 600 LP, Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Psychic monster from your Deck, then you can add a monster with the same Type or Attribute, but with a different name.
During your opponent’s Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can tribute a card this monster points to, Special Summon a “P.U.N.K.” monster from your GY, and if it was a Synchro or Fusion monster, you can destroy 1 face-up card your opponent controls.
You can only use each effect of “Kabuki-P.U.N.K. Okunini” once per turn. ```

[honest bane]

Idea for a card again,

"Thalassophobia" Counter Trap.
(Always treated as an "Abysallisk" card)
If your opponent activates a monster effect while you control an "Abysallisk" monster: Negate the effect, Then, you can attach it to 1 Xyz Monster you control as material. If you control no monsters in the main monster zone: You can banish this card from your GY; Special summon 1 "Abysallisk" monster from your deck.

Funny countertrap that removes the opponents card without just destroying it, But in a fitting way in-archetype

Thalassophobia is the persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water such as the sea, oceans, or lakes

[lament bronze]

Queen of the Swamp 
[Level 3/Dark/Aqua/Effect]
You can declare 1 monster's name mentioned on any Fusion Monster; until the End Phase, this card's name becoms that name, then, you can add 1 "Polymerization" or 1 Aqua monster with 1100 DEF from your Deck or GY to your hand. If this card is sent to the GY by a card effect: You can Special Summon this card, but shuffle it into the Deck when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Queen of the Swamp" once per turn. 
ATK 1100 / DEF 1000

[fathom pivot]

Quick-play Spell Card
Target 1 Level 10 or higher EARTH Machine Xyz monster you control and 1 monster your opponent controls, attach that opponent’s monster to your monster as material, then your Xyz monster gains 500 ATK for each material attached to them and inflicts double piercing battle damage to your opponent when it attacks until the end of this turn.
During the End Phase, detach all Xyz materials from the Xyz monster you control, also skip your next Battle Phase.
You can only activate 1 “All Engines, Full Power!“ per turn ```

[nocturne sphinx]

A redo of one I thought of a bit ago

Ancient Gear Dual-Wield Hammer
Equip Spell Card
If this card is equipped to a monster that does not list ‘Ancient Gear’ in its name, destroy that card. The monster this card is equipped to gains 1000 attack. If the monster this card is equipped to attacks, your opponent can not activate monster effects until the end of the damage step. If the monster this card was equipped to were to be destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy this card instead, and if destroyed this way, draw 1 card

[ember drift]

well they want me to ask here so for the record I do mean changing targets

transferring the effect was just the shorthand I used

[forest vortex]

Whats the context

[fathom pivot]

Link-4/Link/⬅️↙️↘️➡️/Fairy/LIGHT/Effect
ATK/3000
4 LIGHT monsters, including a Fairy monster
When this card is Link Summoned: Add to your hand LIGHT Fairy monsters from your Deck or GY with different names equal to the amount of Fairy monsters used as material to Link Summon this card.
Once per turn: When a card your opponent controls targets a LIGHT monster you control with a card effect (Quick Effect): You can banish a Fairy monster from your hand or field, negate the effect, and if you do, destroy it. After this effect resolves, neither player can activate cards of the same type as the negated card until the end of this turn. ```

[ember drift]

so I want to make this Borreload retrain

that can basically target a monster you control to make it be the new target for an effect

and I wonder what happens if you blow a Rokket up with this interaction

does the effect just never happen since its target no longer exists

[pure eagle]

It’ll vary from case to case probably

[ember drift]

seems effective for its purpose

[sudden palm]

the answer should be the same as for any other target changer having its new target leave the field before its effect resolves

idk what that is but it's a precedent

[ember drift]

How about Obsidian Hawk Joey

[sudden palm]

subterror nemesis defender, dyna tank, tamer joe, cairngorgon, fairy's hand mirror, shift

they should all give the same answer

[pure eagle]

Defender and dyna tank are probably the best options

For recency purposes

[ember drift]

the effect transfer is something I understand

I just wonder what happens if I kamikaze a Rokket if I have a transfer effect on a Borreload link retrain

I assume the effect does nothing now

unless rulings allow a replay like if attacks happen

[waxen maple]

Constellar Star Bridge
Continuous Spell
You cannot Special Summon monsters, except "Constellar" monsters. During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher "Constellar" monster from your hand. If a "Constellar" monster is Summoned: Add 1 "Constellar" monster with a lower Level than the Summoned monster's Level/Rank from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Constellar Star Bridge" once per turn.

Constellar Omicron LIGHT Rank 6
Spellcaster / Xyz / Effect
2 Level 6 "Constellar" monsters
If a card effect is activated (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; negate the activation, then if that card is on the field, return it to the hand. If you control a Rank 4 LIGHT monster and a Rank 5 LIGHT monster, your opponent cannot target LIGHT monsters you control for cards and effects.

Level 3 DARK Warrior/Effect
ATK 1000/DEF 1000
During your Main Phase: You can excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck, send 1 excavated "HERO" monster to the GY, also shuffle the rest back into the Deck. During your next Standby Phase, you can Special Summon that monster from your GY (even if you no longer control this face-up card). You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "HERO" monsters. You can only use this effect of "Destiny HERO - Des Gentlemen" once per turn.```

[ember drift]

I like this guy

[sacred parrot]

that's good

[ember drift]

Really fits the theme

[forest vortex]

He is neat

Also not too crazy

[sacred parrot]

some people think the effect is outdated

Level 3 DARK Warrior/Effect
ATK 1000/DEF 1000
During your Main Phase: You can excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck, send 1 excavated "HERO" monster to the GY, also shuffle the rest back into the Deck. During your next Standby Phase, you can Special Summon that monster from your GY (even if you no longer control this face-up card). You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except "HERO" monsters. If a "Destiny HERO" monster is Special Summoned from the GY: You can banish 3 cards from your opponent's GY. You can only use each effect of "Destiny HERO - Des Gentlemen" once per turn.```

He has an addition effect, but the second effect won't be included in a possible fanfic

[pure eagle]

Heavenly Protector Seraphim Remiel
Level 10 Light Fairy Maximum
2500/0

Requirement: Maximum mode, you have 5 or more Fairy monsters in your GY.
Continuous Effect: This card cannot be destroyed by your opponents Monster or Spell effects, also monsters your opponent controls lose 100 ATK/DEF for each Fairy monster in your GY.

based on the idea in #1021552237224415263

balancing maximums is weird feeling sometimes

[sacred parrot]

Level 4 DARK Warrior/Effect
ATK 1600/DEF 1400
(This card is also always treated as "Elemental HERO Sparkman".)
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 DARK "HERO" monster with 1600 ATK or less from your Deck to your hand, except "Destiny HERO - Dusk Spark". You can only use this effect of "Destiny HERO - Dusk Spark" once per turn.

ATK 3800/DEF 2600
"Cyber Ogre" + "Cyber Ogre" + "Cyber Ogre"
A Fusion Summon of this card can only be done with the above Fusion Materials. Cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. If this card declares an attack on a monster your opponent controls: This card gains ATK equal to the attack target's ATK during the damage calculation only.```

[ember drift]

I wonder what are other names for the big dipper beyond grand chariot and septentrion

and well drinking gourd but that one has certain connotations

[pure eagle]

It’s also called the saucepan

And the plough

[ember drift]

well those don't sound cool enough for monster names

[pure eagle]

The last one I found after a quick search was Saptarishi

[ember drift]

Maybe they could do Beidou

the chinese name for the constellation

[thorny chasm]

ATK 0/DEF 3050
While this card is in your hand: you can Toss a coin and call it, if you call it right, special summon this card, This effect of "" can only be used once per turn.
if a coin toss effect is resolved while this card is face-up on the field: draw 1 card.
If this card is removed from the field by your opponent's card effect: Toss a coin 2 times and apply the appropriate effect
⚫️1 Heads: Special summon this card
⚫️2 Heads: Special summon this card and draw 1 card ```

the artwork would be a shot from underneath a giant tree who's leaves are coins, with a few coins seen fall to the ground, the original on field effect was to give coin tosses an extra coin in their toss, in the case of cup of ace it would allow you to get 2 heads, or 1 tails and 1 head, but idk if that's an effect that could realistically exist, if it could then i'd honestly prefer that

and yes i'm aware of the nutty card advantage he can give you
but to get it you'd have to play a bunch of coin flip cards, so the advantage you're getting isn't good enough for it to be a problem me thinks

i've also thought of giving it's on field effect a soft once per turn
but idk, i feel like it'd be too slow, do lemme know tho

[meager jacinth]

What effects do you all tend to give to boss monsters?

[thorny chasm]

protection
negation if you want
destruction

those are the most generic boss monster effects

[burnt crane]

A disruption of any kind

And depending on the deck’s functionality, either some protection or floating effect to recur resources

[long spruce]

Making it return to the field if destroyed is funny

[burnt crane]

The only hard part about designing a boss monster is making it synergize with the rest of the intended deck

And not just generic good card with generic good effects locked behind a specific summoning requirement

[forest vortex]

Nowdays Bosses need protection, disruptions or a effect that gives you more milage otherwise they are considered worthless

[thorny chasm]

i'll assume you're talking about mine

i actually tried wording it very specifically to get a high amount of protection
i think it can still be kaiju'd although it can't be kaiju slumber'd
banishing it face down should work
and of course you can run over it with a high enough ATK, since it only triggers on card effect removal

but everything else would make it leave the field

[sacred parrot]

I made a broken card

[long spruce]

Show

[long spruce]

Was just giving an example of protection effect

[thorny chasm]

ah, i assumed i was important

[long spruce]

Lemme read your card smth

The coin toss draw effect can never proc by the card itself

You can toss the coin and then special summon the card from hand

So the card wouldn't be on the field

Also

if the card is removed from the field, it's not on the field for the draw effect to resolve

[forest vortex]

Thoughts on these?

[long spruce]

we're all important to someone

[long spruce]

Iron Chain Alert is

[forest vortex]

Yes

Yes it is

[long spruce]

Sending 2 cards from deck and a negation of a card...

Could hit the combo starters

Or the boss monsters

You need a specific type of monster on the field, uhm...

And it's a counter trap

NVM

The synchro effect

[forest vortex]

Iron Chain exclusive yes

[long spruce]

Nha this is broken

[thorny chasm]

so it should say special summon this card then/and if you do draw 1 card ?

[forest vortex]

It's not lile Iron Chains are good

Probably not even with these cards

[long spruce]

You're not gonna make more support?

[forest vortex]

All I am doing are these lol

[thorny chasm]

and yes i know, that's why i specified for it to be on the field
otherwise it would be a free +1 every turn regardless of if you even summon it or not

[forest vortex]

Same with Stygians

[long spruce]

@thorny chasm s funny way would be making you special summon it and then toss a coin to see if it would stay on the field or not

[forest vortex]

Just some throw away stuff that sounds like Anime Pack Filler that can work together

[long spruce]

Remember once per turn

[thorny chasm]

well wouldn't that technically trigger it's effect?
it's still face up on the field at the end of the coin toss right before it's sent to the shadow realm
or would it really be sent first?

i want to avoid making it give advantage to decks that don't run other coin flip effects
it would still be seen outside gamble decks because it's a free special summon from the hand, with a good revival effect
but the potentially crazy +'s is restricted by how many flips you can do alongside it

[long spruce]

Uhm

If you don't want to make it have advantage then you cannot have the draw card effect on coin toss

So yes, take that off and just have the draw card on the last part

[thorny chasm]

well, i want it to give advantage to gamble decks specifically
if you just put a single other coin flip thing in your deck drawing both is unlikely

[long spruce]

Cup of ace would like to know your location

Jokes aside, this is a LVL 8 card that can special summon itself from hand and gives +1 on destruction by effect (negating said destruction)

[thorny chasm]

i probably should just put a once per turn on the second effect the more i think about it
soft, since getting more than 1 of them out is already gonna be really unlikely

[long spruce]

Already the first effect would be nice for extra deck plays

You need a OPT on the second effect

[thorny chasm]

on average it would take 4 turns to get 2 of them on the field

[long spruce]

"really unlikely" that's a 25% chance for +1

At no cost, mind you

[thorny chasm]

no like, getting it on the field from the hand
you'd need to win a coin toss, then next turn win another coin toss
assuming you even have 2 of them in your hand

[forest vortex]

I had a "broken" Coin Toss monster from a while ago

[long spruce]

[second coin toss]

[viral tapir]

Second Coin Toss

Effect

When a coin toss is performed, you can choose to redo the coin toss. (If the toss involved multiple coin flips, redo all of them.) You can only use the effect of "Second Coin Toss" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[long spruce]

Did you forget about this?

[thorny chasm]

it was fine until the last line 💀

[thorny chasm]

nope, but that's a 3rd specific card in your hand
which granted, my gamblers invitation card would make easy to get, but still

[forest vortex]

i know

The dumb shit this would enable

[long spruce]

If you have a coin toss card you'll most likely have your deck based around those

Same for dice

[thorny chasm]

ace is literally pot of greed

[forest vortex]

[Tour of Doom]

[viral tapir]

Tour of Doom

Effect

During your opponent's Standby Phase, toss a coin:

●Tails: You cannot Normal or Flip Summon during your next turn.

Oh no, what will I do without my flip summoning!

https://tenor.com/view/disappear-gif-24569238

[forest vortex]

Krawlers in shambles

🐛

Also the Gun Head Dragons

[thorny chasm]

so, OPT, how about specifing that the coin flip should resolve on the field, so that it can't trigger it's second effect with a second copy's first effect

[long spruce]

Just name the card in the OTP

[thorny chasm]

| Trap card |
Roll a dice:
⚫️ 1 or 2: Special summon 1 "Dice Jar" from your Hand Deck or GY in face-down defense position
⚫️ 3 or 4: Special summon 2 "Dice Jar" from your Hand Deck or GY in face-down defense position
⚫️ 5: Special summon 3 "Dice Jar" from your Hand Deck or GY in face-down defense position
⚫️ 6: Special summon 3 "Dice Jar" from your Hand Deck or GY in face-down defense position and flip them face-up```

and here is a meme card i made after the idea was sparked in a vc

[sacred parrot]

Level 7 WATER Spellcaster/Effect
ATK 0/DEF 0
You can Normal Summon this card with 1 Tribute or no Tributes. While you have a Field Spell in your field zone, negate the effects of all other monsters on the field. If this card battles your opponent's monster: Both this card and that monster's ATK becomes 1 during the damage calculation only. If this card would be destroy by battle, you can move it to a different Monster Card Zone, and if you do, place 1 Crest Counter on this card (Max. 4). Gains 800 ATK for each Crest Counter on this card. Once per Duel: You can send this card with 4 Crest Counters to the GY: Inflict 4000 damage to your opponent.```

[thorny chasm]

their attack should become 50 or 100
we only do increments of 50, think of it like sun in pvz

moving to a different monster zone wouldn't stop it from being destroyed, as the card would just attack it in the new zone

[nocturne sphinx]

Side-eyes Barox

Card’s pretty nice

PSTC looks spot on

[thorny chasm]

problem solving text card

[thorny chasm]

what's the point of tributing if you can choose not to btw?
with the option to tribute for it i thought it'd have an extra effect if you did so

[pure eagle]

[fog king]

[viral tapir]

Fog King

[ Spellcaster / Effect ]

ATK 0 / DEF 0

Effect

You can Tribute 1 monster, or no monsters, to Normal Summon (but not Set) this card. The ATK of this card becomes the combined original ATK of the Tributed monsters. Neither player can Tribute cards.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[pure eagle]

It’s a reference

[storm pecan]

yeah but fog king gets a benefit if you tribute

[forest vortex]

I see what you are going for but why doesn't it do anything Synchro related considering it was a Card that Jack used?

Maybe if it Tributes smth you can Special Summon a Resonator?

[storm pecan]

no it's not

dead guy from gx used it

amon

[forest vortex]

It's not?

I could have sworn Jack used it too

[storm pecan]

no never

[nocturne sphinx]

Yeah, Fog King was a card that Andrian Gecko had in GX

[forest vortex]

I thought about [Dust Lord] my bad

Link-2/WATER/Spellcaster/Lower_Left/Lower_Right/1600 ATK
2 monsters, including an "Ice Barrier" monster
Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon 1 "Ice Barrier" monster with a Level from your hand, Deck or GY. While you control another "Ice Barrier" monster, negate any card effect that would move a card from either player's hand or Deck to a different place, except the effects of "Ice Barrier" cards.```

[steady badger]

somehow i dont think this card is very balanced

[burnt crane]

it's a very fine line

had to deliberate on the effect a lot

wanted to make a card that can toolbox Ice Barrier's utility monsters like Warlock and Spellbreaker for example

[thorny chasm]

"with a Level"
as opposed to the ice barrior monsters without a level

[burnt crane]

yes

[steady badger]

it's so it doesnt loop itsjf

[burnt crane]

this is here to prevent the link from reviving itself yeah

[thorny chasm]

it's a link tho
you can't hold it in your hand

[burnt crane]

yes, but there's that teensy bit of "in the GY"

[thorny chasm]

ah, didn't read that far

(i'm a yugioh player)

don't they usually say "except insert name here" after the effect tho?

[burnt crane]

that's specifically if you don't want certain interactions to work, and this wording is shorter anyways

[sudden palm]

also futureproofs for any other ice barrier links that may get created for some ungodly reason

[thorny chasm]

ah, i thought that line was always to avoid a toon table situation

[thorny chasm]

y'know, fair enough

[forest vortex]

Yugioh: Fixing Fusion/Synchro/Pendel Decks with Links

Triple Tactics Thwarted

●Draw 2 cards.

You can only activate 1 "Triple Tactics Talent" per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[forest vortex]

Ah that one

[burnt crane]

Make it activatable from hand like Reboot and this might see play in certain metas

[thorny chasm]

you can thwart the thwart

[steady badger]

i dont think it will

there was just a design challenge of making a gryphon wing type card for a modern card

Level 2 LIGHT [Fiend/Effect]
ATK 900/DEF 300
If an opponent's card effect activates, before resolving that effect,(Quick Effect) toss 2 coins, and if the result is 2 Heads, negate that effect. You can only use this effect of "Kindergarten Judge" once per turn.```

hard OPT omni negate 25% of the time

[thorny chasm]

i always thought Ms. judge was weird tbh
she seems much more fit to be a handtrap

[forest vortex]

I like her

Wish there was a Deck around the two Judges

Like a Court Room Archetype

[thorny chasm]

instead she's a huge target that can be easily played around who's negate isn't even good
if it was a 50/50 sure, or if it wasn't once per turn
idk, whenever i've used her she's barely ever had an impact

[forest vortex]

I had a streak of 3 with her in Duel Links once

[thorny chasm]

being a 7 colored fish 75% of the time isn't the best deal 💀

[forest vortex]

Thats Coin Tosses for you

Barely any good Cards with Luck Effects

[thorny chasm]

i've really just wondered why it's 2 coins when she's deciding between 2 outcomes..

[forest vortex]

Yeah seems a bit random

Maybe they thought a 50/50 would be too good

[thorny chasm]

the best type of gamble card (outside of wacky nonsense) is the one that is decent with a chance to be good
actual gambles are only ever a meme

then there's cases like lucky punch where if you removed the negative effect it probably still wouldn't see play
getting 3 coins off seems like an impossibility to me for some reason

[burnt crane]

luck based effects are inherently inconsistent, and not just in terms of design, but also gameplay

depending on your and your opponent's board states, you want certain parts of your coin flip effects

so even if every single effect you could land on is good, there will always be suboptimal choices that lose you the game depending on the situation

[thorny chasm]

yeah chance effects that do a variety of things are total chaos

[fickle wraith]

Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion
ATK: 1400
LINK-2 (Link arrows: Down-Left and Down)
2 Monsters, including one Pendulum Monster and one Monster that you can place a spell counter on.

Must be Link Summoned. If this card is Link Summoned: You can count the number of Spell Counters that were on the monsters used for this card's Link Summon, then add 1 Pendulum Monster with a level equal to or lower than that number from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up. You can target 1 face-up card you control, destroy it; then you can either Special Summon or add to your hand one face-up Pendulum Monster from your extra deck, then, if you Special Summoned a card that can have Spell Counters placed on it, you can move all Spell Counters from this card to the card you Special Summoned. You can only use this effect of "Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion" once per turn. If a card you can place a Spell Counter on is Pendulum Summoned to a zone this card points to: Place 1 Spell Counter on that card.

(sorry for the wall of text, that's just the way endymion is :( )

this is an endymion-only retrain of electrumite

card lore is that Metalfoes Silverd (the one in the electrumite armour) retired from the metalfoes and joined endymion (like how Servant of Endymion became Witchcrafter Genni but in reverse)

endymion's main board set up breaking point is not having enough spell counters so i figured retooling her draw power to be counter power would be a fair tradeoff

but idk if shes too powerful now or what cause like theyre still electrumite and electrumite is electrumite

[boreal tendon]

I got an idea for the contest

And it will go either really well or really terrible

[fickle wraith]

does anyone know if theres PSCT precedent for spell counter transfer

[storm pecan]

idk if that much text can actually fit on a mere link monster

[fickle wraith]

yeah thats the main issue here

hopefully theres shorter precedent

most of it is "card you can place a spell counter on" 5 billion times

[storm pecan]

maybe just compromise with less strict reqs

[boreal tendon]

[Pitch black power stone]?

[storm pecan]

like for the materials line

[viral tapir]

Pitch-Black Power Stone

Effect

Activate this card by placing 3 Spell Counters on it. Once per turn, during your turn: You can target 1 other face-up card on the field that you can place a Spell Counter on; remove 1 Spell Counter from this card, and if you do, place 1 Spell Counter on that target. When the last Spell Counter(s) is removed from this card, destroy it.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[fickle wraith]

ah

so there is precedent but its longer

[fickle wraith]

oh true yeah

what if i just go "including one monster you can place a spell counter on"

[storm pecan]

i mean a while ago they added transfer as a keyword but it's only used for xyz materials

[boreal tendon]

Can't you just say 1 "Endymion" monster?

Like, you're not really gonna miss being able to make it with king jackal

[fickle wraith]

endymion doesnt actually use "Endymion" cards to link up usually

or at least i dont when i play

its always some mythical beast into electrumite

but i could be bad at the game

[boreal tendon]

Fair enough

[storm pecan]

or 1 spellcaster

[fickle wraith]

TRUE

"2 Monsters, including one Spellcaster."?

or is it at least one spellcaster

[boreal tendon]

||"2 monsters with different names"||

||trust||

[fickle wraith]

lemme check the longest link monster

ah wait idk how to do that

[storm pecan]

it'll be an extender for pend mag

[sudden palm]

pedia had a page for longest texts but unfortunately that's not really accessible atm

[storm pecan]

but probably won't do anything they don't already do

[fickle wraith]

electrumite can have a little generic pendulum support, as a treat

[storm pecan]

yeah you gave it a hopt anyway

[fickle wraith]

"Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion
ATK 1400
LINK-2 (Link arrows: Down-Left and Down)
2 Monsters, including one Spellcaster.

You can only use this effect of "Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion" once per turn. If a card you can place a Spell Counter on is Pendulum Summoned to a zone this card points to: Place 1 Spell Counter on that card."

is this bearably short

it's Only twice the length of accesscode

ok i can get rid of the "Must be Link Summoned"

i dont think that will enable too many gimmicks

[storm pecan]

it could still be shortened a little

[fickle wraith]

"If this card is Link Summoned: Count the number of Spell Counters that were on the monsters used for this card's Link Summon: You can add 1 Pendulum Monster with a level equal to or lower than that number from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up.

If a card that can hold a Spell Counter on is Pendulum Summoned to a zone this card points to: Place 1 Spell Counter on that card."

cut down on word choice a bit

do i need to specify face-up pendulum monster from extra deck

all face up monsters in the extra deck are pendulums

[storm pecan]

suppose that's fine

[fickle wraith]

"you can transfer all Spell Counters from this card to that card."

this sounds wrong but itd be good character saving

do you reckon thatd fly

or is "that card" not PSCT enough

[storm pecan]

i make up my own psct to shorten cards all the time

though i also spend a lot of time looking up real psct

[fickle wraith]

how do you look it up

[storm pecan]

i usually use edopro's search cause it searches for exact strings and also you can use * as wildcard

[fickle wraith]

oh true

[storm pecan]

and also on yugipedia there's effect categories on each cards' page

so that lets you find all the cards that negate summons or send from extra deck to grave or lots of other stuff that's also very useful

hopefully they resurrect it soon

but i think fandom wiki had the same feature

[fickle wraith]

[abyss actor evil heel]

[viral tapir]

Abyss Actor - Evil Heel

Level: 8 | Pendulum Scale: 1
[ Fiend / Pendulum / Effect ]

ATK 3000 / DEF 2000

Pendulum Effect

Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "Abyss Actor" monster, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses ATK equal to the original ATK of the Tributed monster, until the end of this turn (even if this card leaves the field).

Effect

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; it loses 1000 ATK for each "Abyss Actor" monster you currently control, until the end of this turn. When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: You can target 1 "Abyss Script" Spell Card in your Graveyard; Set that card.

"THAT CARD" HAS PRECEDENT

WOOO

so what are we supposed to do for card art

can i just put a placeholder as the card art and then describe the art in the imgur description

is that ok

[storm pecan]

i guess the long and storied history of art theft is currently being overturned by ai art

[fickle wraith]

i would rather die than use ai art

[storm pecan]

i never bother with card art

yeah don't bother

[fickle wraith]

ill just describe it on the imgur

[storm pecan]

if you don't pay for it it looks like dogshit

and if you do pay for it it looks like dog dribble

so

[fickle wraith]

"Image description: Silverd is sitting on a chair in a bedroom in the Citadel of Endymion. In the background, the Heavymetalfoes Electrumite armour is visible hanging from an armour rack, with a Spell Counter now attached to each wing."

is this good

[storm pecan]

yeah fine

[fickle wraith]

should i write a master guide entry for them too or is that going a bit too over the top

[storm pecan]

well card making is just about personally having fun

[fickle wraith]

very true

ok yeah cardmaker lets me put this much text on it but it doesnt like it

im gonna scrap the "is pendulum summoned to a zone this card points to" and just make it "is summoned"

this shouldnt enable anything too big

[sacred parrot]

I think I got the reference well

[fickle wraith]

"2 Monsters, including 1 Spellcaster.
If this card is Link Summoned, transfer all Spell Tokens from the Monsters used as material to this card. You can add 1 Pendulum Monster with a level equal to or lower than the amount of Spell Tokens on this card from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up.

You can only use each of the above effects of "Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion" once per turn. If a card that can hold a Spell Counter is summoned to a zone this card points to: Place 1 Spell Counter on that card."

this feels longer

did i make it longer

[fickle wraith]

MASTER GUIDE LORE:

A mysterious meteor in the world of Endymion!

Recently, a meteor was seen crashing into the plains outside of the Citadel of Endymion. Endymion himself was quick to investigate, and was shocked to find a spacefaring vessel! Even more shocking: it had a passenger! While she was severely injured and unconcious when she was found, after being rushed to the best hospital in the Citadel she made a full recovery.

A new magician joins the Spellcasters.

The newcomer was shocked at where she had found herself, but incredibly thankful to Endymion for saving her life. She told great stories of interstellar wars among Magicians, and demonstrated that her suit of armour was itself enchanted with powers rivalling even the greatest of Spellcasters. While she's still struggling to harness the power of the Spell Counter, she nonetheless has unignorable magical potential, and so she has become the latest in a long line of new recruits to Endymion's inner circle.

is this anything

[thorny chasm]

now that i think about it, is there a single monster in the game with more than 1 type of counter on it?
cause this could definitely get it

Level 🤷‍♂️ EARTH [Dragon/Xyz/Effect]
ATK 🤷‍♂️/DEF 🤷‍♂️
🤷‍♂️ Level 🤷‍♂️ Monsters
Once per turn: flip a coin 3 times, attach monsters with coin flipping effects(from your Deck) to this card as material equal to the number of Heads.
When your opponent activates a card effect(Quick Effect): Detach 1 material from this card; make them flip a coin and call it, if they call it wrong, negate that Activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
When your opponent Special summons a monster(Quick Effect): Detach 1 material from this card; make them flip a coin and call it, if they call it wrong, negate that summon, and if you do, attach that monster to this card as material.```

the artwork would feature two tunnels on either side, with a golden chinese dragon sitting inbetween them, one path leads out, the other leads to your demise, symbolizing the coin flip your opponents cards have to face before activating, and it attaching the monster whoose summon it negates to itself symbolizes how it eats the monster that went down the wrong path

i thought about giving it a special summoning effect but decided at the end that summoning it normally is fine, i imagine it's plenty strong already without it, due to being up to 3(+ what you used to Xyz summon it) free solemn judgements that can be activated the turn they're set, although they only work 50% of the time

i also thought after making it that it could be a link monster or something that gained counters each time you used a coin flip effect, instead of attaching monsters to itself


and of course the "🤷‍♂️" are for things i'm not really sure what to do with, i imagine you'd use level 4's for it

[fickle wraith]

i think if you played a spell counter deck and then had some predaplant counters forced upon you it could happen

[thorny chasm]

but like, a card that on it's own has multiple

[fickle wraith]

hmm

i gotta check

ok i dont think so

i could probably just shorten it to "Counters" then instead

[fickle wraith]

whats this a retrain of btw

[thorny chasm]

nothing, but just calling it dragon gamba is a bit..

[fickle wraith]

ah

[thorny chasm]

i could make a youngling version of it that's meant to combo into it tho

[fickle wraith]

a fun summoning condition would be either 3+ level 7 monsters or 2+ cards that can flip a coin

[thorny chasm]

yeah i thought of the 3 level 7's thing, but that gimmick has already been used so i wasn't sure about it, and it doesn't combo too well with gamble decks

[forest vortex]

The first effect should probably be a single use one cause it can stack infinite negates

Like on summon

[fickle wraith]

i could probably just change this to "Counters" instead of "Spell Counters" tbh

but that could have unforeseen consequences with edge case decks

which would be funny but also worrying

[thorny chasm]

bit of a wake up call
didn't realize the snowball potential
but instead of on summon i'll be cool and make it one o them fancy once per duel effects

[forest vortex]

That would work too

[fickle wraith]

i think more gambling decks need silly non OPT effects

old goddess of whim was based

pre errata

infinite ATK doubling was funny

[thorny chasm]

💀
what were they thinking

goddess of whim FTK

[fickle wraith]

i think it is funny

nobody would seriously be trying to goddess of whim OTK but the fact you could was funny

[thorny chasm]

i would be
you literally just summon her and keep flipping coins until she gets 8K or higher ATK

[fickle wraith]

EMPRESS OF WHIM
Rank 3 LIGHT [Fairy/Xyz/Effect]
ATK / 1500 DEF/ 1500
2+ Level 3 monsters
(Quick Effect:) You can detach one material from this card, flip a coin. If it lands on heads: Double this card's ATK, half it's DEF, and change it into Attack Position. If it lands on tails: Double this card's DEF, half it's ATK, and change it into Defense Position. This card cannot be destroyed by card effects while in face-up Defense Position. This card cannot be destroyed by battle while in face-up Attack Position.

[viral tapir]

Xyz Effect

Effect

When you Xyz Summon a monster: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it.

[forest vortex]

Lol wut?

[thorny chasm]

imma just make it
Level 8
2+ Level 4 monsters
now to figure out the ATK and DEF (i've already thought about ATK and DEF points like a billion times more than they matter)

[fickle wraith]

yeah they just printed shit back then

the meta was sleeping on mcdonalds promo pack 2

[forest vortex]

Idk maybe 2000 for both?
It's a Omni Negate on legs so it shouldn't have that much atk

Or even less

Or only Defence points

[thorny chasm]

yeah, i want it to atleast be unable to get fucked by just normal summoning a dude and running him over
but i don't want him to be a beatstick really
i will definitely lean more into defense points tho
since the dragon relies on the prey choosing wrong to eat them

ATK1450 /DEF 2350 ?
goblin attack force begone

[sacred parrot]

I have wasted most of my time making a pendulum series based on that Pendulum card.

Level 8 WIND Thunder/Synchro/Pendulum/Effect
2700/3000
PS10
Pendulum Effect: If this card is activated in the Pendulum Zone: You can add 1 of your banished Tuners to your hand. You can target 1 WIND Thunder monster you control and 1 monster your opponent controls; change their battle position. You can only used each effect of "Gigathunder Armored Giknight" once per turn.
Monster Lore: 1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner Pendulum Monsters
(Quick Effect): You can target 1 Pendulum Monster you control and 1 monster on the field; change their battle positions. If this card's battle position is changed: Pendulum Monsters you control gains 1000 ATK/DEF, until the end of this turn, also they cannot be destroyed by card effects. If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed or banished: You can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; return that target to your hand and if you do, this card to your Pendulum Zone. You can only use each effect of "Gigathunder Armored Giknight" once per turn.```

[thorny chasm]

"you can target 1 pendulum monster you and"
forgor control

also, stuff before the ; is the cost
and stuff before : is the activation requirement
so move quick effect to after "on the field"

[sacred parrot]

it makes no different, Pendulums are the worse once Link begins and even after the Link era is over.

[thorny chasm]

it does make a difference when the requirement to activate the non quick effect effect is a quick effect

and when targeting 2 monsters is somehow a cost

[dire leaf]

Contest ends in 3 and a half ish days.

Please submit your card before the deadline.

[sacred parrot]

I have made a mistake, I'll delete the whole folder regarding that pendulum series.

[thorny chasm]

why

[sacred parrot]

all the pendulums gimmick have their effect activate upon change battle positions, and no pendulum effects trigger: only activates during the main phase? not to mention the continuous effect. I haven't made pendulums in some time now.

[thorny chasm]

what's the contest about?
there's no pinned or description

[dire leaf]

It is in the pins.

[thorny chasm]

oh
why is it pinned here lmao

yeah idk
the only ED monsters i'd retrain are ones that i'd make upgrades for, not sidegrades

[sacred parrot]

how will I make a good pendulum archetype or series in the current era?

[thorny chasm]

i'm not really sure you can due to the inherent flaws pendulum has
just make an archetype that's good in terms of pendulums

[nocturne sphinx]

I got a few good ideas on how to take this concept.

Mmm, sidegrades

[pure eagle]

I made a pendulum XYZ deck where every pend forcefully adds itself to your hand when sent to the graveyard

[thorny chasm]

[Spell Card]
Shuffle up to 2 cards from your hand into your Deck; excavate 3 cards from the top of your Deck for each card shuffled into the Deck this way, add 1 excavated card to your hand, place the rest on the bottom of your Deck in any order. You can only activate 1 "Pot of Generosity" Per turn.```

tried to fix generosity by giving it the effect it clearly should have
every pot card that features generosity as one half of the pot has an excavation effect, and it consistently excavates cards in multiples of 3
and i opted not to have an additional downside, as i feel the -1 or -2 would be enough to balance out the consistency

[pure eagle]

I mean generosity itself is just a joke card that’s meant to be as literal an inversion of PoG as possible

[thorny chasm]

yeah i know, but then they started putting her in the pot fusions
while very clearly giving her side of the pot a different effect than she should be bringing to the table

[sacred parrot]

many the pendulum effect would be forced to banish themselves instead of the Extra Deck, but how can you Pendulum Summon banished cards is beyond me.

[thorny chasm]

i feel like it's still the opposite of greed thematically since it's a "you give and you get" card
while almost all the other pot cards are "take take and take some more"

[thorny chasm]

just say it can pendulum summon banished cards
ez win

[sacred parrot]

for example If this card would return to the face-up Extra Deck, banish it instead.

[pure eagle]

Example of my current pend project

Shambling Army of the Pestilent Wind
Level 6 Wind Zombie Pendulum
2500/0
Scale 7
Pend Effect: If a monster(s) is Pendulum Summoned: You can send 1 "Pestilent Wind" card from your Deck to the GY, then discard 1 card.

Monster Effect: If this card is sent to the GY: Add it to your hand, then, if this card was sent there because it was detached from a monster, you can Special Summon 1 "Pestilent Wind" monster from your Hand or GY, except a level/rank 6 monster. You can only use each effect of "Shambling Army of the Pestilent Wind" once per turn.

[sacred parrot]

Level 6 DARK Pyro/Pendulum/Effect
2500/0
PS10
Pendulum Effect: If a monster(s) is Pendulum Summoned: You can banish 1 "Slithering Flame" card from your Deck, then banish 1 card from your hand.
Monster Effect: If this card is banished by a card effect: You can Special Summon this card, then if this card was banished for the Special Summon of a "Slithering Flame" Fusion Monster, you can negate the effect of 1 card your opponent controls. You can only used this effect of "Slithering Flame - Pymos" once per turn.```

I'm bad with archetype names

[pure eagle]

Naming is hard sometimes

[thorny chasm]

Level 12 DARK [Dragon/Fusion/Effect]
ATK 5000/DEF 5000
5 Dragon-Type monsters with different Attributes
Must be Fusion Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.
Gains the following effects based on the attributes of the monsters used to Fusion Summon this card. You can only activate one of the following effects of "Five-Headed Dragon" per turn, and only once that turn. After activating an effect this card cannot declare an attack for the rest of the turn. ⚫️DARK: Banish up to 5 monsters with different attributes on the field except DARK, but lose the effects associated with the attribute(s) of the banished monster(s). ⚫️LIGHT: Special Summon up to 5 monsters with different attributes except LIGHT, but lose the effects associated with the attribute(s) of the monster(s) Special Summoned with this effect, the monsters Special Summoned with this effect cannot be used for a Fusion Summon. ⚫️EARTH: This card is unaffected by your opponent's card effects for the rest of this turn, and cannot be destroyed by battle for the rest of this turn. ⚫️WATER: This card can attack directly. ⚫️FIRE: Deal burn damage to your opponent equal to half of this card's original ATK. ⚫️WIND: Draw 3 cards. ⚫️DIVINE: You win the Duel.```

i decided to do sum for the contest, how the hell do i shorten this text 💀
and idk if adding "with different attributes" makes this thing hard enough to summon that all this shit isn't considered an upgrade instead of a sidegrade

[sacred parrot]

I'll stick to the name then

[forest vortex]

I wanted to say Yang Zing could abuse the fuck out of this but then I remembered Wyrm is a Type haha

[thorny chasm]

oh yeah, dragon but like totally different

[forest vortex]

Wyrm or how I call it
"Excuse to make even more Dragons without overlaping Support"

[thorny chasm]

i feel like it's the same with psychic

[red dust]

same with cyberse

[thorny chasm]

just realized you can banish cards with attributes you didn't use for five headed
goddamnit, and to fix it i have to add even more text 🫠

[thorny chasm]

Level 12 DARK [Dragon/Fusion/Effect]
ATK 5000/DEF 5000
5 Dragon-Type monsters with the attributes DARK, EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AND WIND
Must be Fusion Summoned, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.
Gains the following effects based on the attributes of the monsters used to Fusion Summon this card. You can only activate one of the following effects of "Five-Headed Dragon" per turn, and only once that turn. After activating an effect this card cannot declare an attack for the rest of this turn. ⚫️DARK: Banish up to 5 monsters with different attributes on the field, but lose the effects associated with the attribute(s) of the banished monster(s). ⚫️EARTH (Quick Effect): This card is unaffected by your opponent's card effects for the rest of this turn. ⚫️WATER: This card can attack twice this turn. ⚫️FIRE: Deal burn damage to your opponent equal to half of this card's original ATK. ⚫️WIND: Draw 2 cards.```

made it shorter by just sticking to the original attributes five headed should've had

wondering if dark's "lose effects" thing is even necessary to balance it
cause that's what's keeping the "gain effects based on the attributes" line on the card
which takes up a lot of text space

[pure eagle]

got my submission in

[thorny chasm]

card makers really don't know how to function when met with a lot of text

[pure eagle]

I just use the duelingbook one
it's the most feature complete card maker (imo)

[thorny chasm]

and i thought i was cool when i trimmed half of it from the original text🗿

welp, i hope my dapper fellow of a dragon is atleast only 2nd to last

[storm pecan]

the duelingbook card maker is really terrible at sizing text

[thorny chasm]

yeah i tried using it first, didn't do well at all for me
especially because i couldn't use the ⚫️ symbols
but using that symbol only really worked on the text version of the card, on the actual card maker it's a mess

[sudden palm]

you can copy the official bullet points from the database

●

[pure eagle]

I just don’t make effects with bullet points

[sudden palm]

but bullet point effects are great

and they move us closer to the ocg standard of numbering

[storm pecan]

tcg is constantly using bullet points because they don't use the ocg system of numbering and can't effectively denote hopt effects

this is a deeply upsetting example of psct to come across

[fickle wraith]

i would let it attach a skull servant from grave too

princess and lady in wight are level 3

so just lvl 1 doesnt cover the whole gang

[forest vortex]

Maybe a Monster that mentions Servant

[fickle wraith]

yeah good idea

[forest vortex]

Future proving so new Cards that are not level 1 can be attached too

[fickle wraith]

also maybe treat XYZ material as being in GY?

[honest bane]

How strong of an effect would something along the lines of
(As a Normal Trap)
"If you control 1 or less monsters in the main monster zone: You can detatch any number of materials from an Xyz monster you control, Target that many cards on the field; Destroy them"

[pure eagle]

[barrage blast] exists

[viral tapir]

Barrage Blast

Effect

Once per turn, you can detach any number of materials from Machine Xyz Monsters you control, then target that many cards on the field; destroy them. If a Machine Xyz Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect while this card is in your GY: You can banish this card and 1 Machine Xyz Monster from your GY; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the banished monster's Rank x 200.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[honest bane]

In that case, I'm probably fine to make one, I assume

[pure eagle]

Ye

[honest bane]

Its worth noting I'll gain effects from detatching aswell, But if it already exists and doesnt see play, I'll go with it

[lament bronze]

Soul of Vanquisher
[Link 1 ⬅️/Dark/Fairy/Effect]
1 "Vanquish Soul" monster 
Cannot be used as Link Material. During th Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon 1 "Vanquish Soul" monster from your GY, but its effects are negated, also return it to the hand during the End Phase. You can only use this effect of "Soul of Vanquisher" once per turn. A "Vanquish Soul" monster this card points to gains this effect. 
● Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can reveal 1 EARTH, FIRE, and DARK monster in your hand; negate the effects of 1 face-up card on the field until the end of this turn. 
ATK 0 

[pure eagle]

tbh I'm actually really happy with how my submission for the contest turned out

[storm pecan]

i don't think i'll win

i ignored one or two of the guidelines

[pure eagle]

I never enter assuming I'll win

I've only won once and I've entered most of the contests

[fickle wraith]

what was your entry?

[pure eagle]

a sidegrade retrain of Gem-knight ruby

[fickle wraith]

[gem-knight ruby]

[viral tapir]

Gem-Knight Ruby

Level: 6
[ Pyro / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 2500 / DEF 1300

Effect

"Gem-Knight Garnet" + 1 "Gem-Knight" monster
Must first be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Material Monsters. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 face-up "Gem-" monster; this card gains ATK equal to the Tributed monster's ATK on the field, until the End Phase. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[fickle wraith]

very simple retrain but very effective

like damn thats a retrain of gem knight ruby for sure

[pure eagle]

Ruby can gain it's ATK at any time, and is based on current ATK, but only lasts the turn

almandine forces you to give it the ATK of the next GK you fusion summon

but gets to keep that atk

I think it works well as a sidegrade

[fickle wraith]

yeah for sure

i forgot cards could even be that simple tbh

[pure eagle]

it's fun making simpler cards

[fickle wraith]

yeah

like you gotta really think about how to keep it at a similar powerlevel

with a long ass card theres some give or take per effect

some can be retrained better some can be weakened

but when the guy just gains attack? how do you retrain that

much to consider

[thorny chasm]

i ignored the guideline about keeping it relatively the same in terms of summoning difficulty and power level once on the field
as i think those two rules make the contest pretty damn boring

i also didn't use a card maker for the first submission cause i didn't read the rules fully 🤷‍♂️

[fickle wraith]

does anyone know what the longest link card is btw

yugipedia would know but

you know

[thorny chasm]

i don't actually

[fickle wraith]

yugipedia died

[thorny chasm]

ah

[fickle wraith]

has been dead for a couple weeks i think

[thorny chasm]

yo
pendulum link monster
did i scare you? i bet i did, you make me sick, your weakne-

[fickle wraith]

that sounds funny

[thorny chasm]

i find it funny how new players find link confusing when it's literally just
"usually does stuff in the direction of the arrows"

[fickle wraith]

link is the simplest summon mechanic by a lot

[thorny chasm]

unless you take into account co linking and extra link
not that those are complicated at all, but y'know, death by 3 needles

[fickle wraith]

you dont need to understand those to understand linking though

on a base level

[thorny chasm]

kinda sad they never tried doing something like pendulum again tbh
actually learning what they do it's pretty damn cool

[fickle wraith]

one day tcg will free my girl electrumite

[thorny chasm]

was confused for a second, why is she banned?

she seems fine in MD

[fickle wraith]

john TCG fucking hates pendulums

legitimately thats the reason

TCG konami hates pendulums

[thorny chasm]

meanwhile my boy maju got some pendulum support in the OCG

i know literally nothing about dreamer other than that she combo's decently with maju

[fickle wraith]

speaking of electrumite

does anyone have any ideas on how to shorten my entry to the competition

its an electrumite retain for endymion but like

look at it

i know all the endymion cards are long as hell but jesus

Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion
ATK 1400
Fire Attribute
[Spellcaster/Link/Effect]
LINK-2 (Link arrows: Down-Left and Down)
2 Monsters, including 1 Pendulum Spellcaster.
If this card is Link Summoned, transfer all Spell Counters from the Monsters used as material to this card. You can add 1 Pendulum Monster with a level equal to or lower than the amount of Spell Counters on this card from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up. You can target 1 card you control, destroy it; either Special Summon or add to your hand one face-up Monster from your Extra Deck, then, if you Special Summoned a card that can hold Spell Counters: You can transfer all Spell Counters from this card to that card. You can only use each of the above effects of "Silverd, Metalmancer of Endymion" once per turn. If a card that can hold a Spell Counter is summoned to a zone this card points to: Place 1 Spell Counter on that card.

[viral tapir]

Could not resolve English data for searches: spellcaster/link/effect

[fickle wraith]

ok man

[fickle wraith]

oh i should change "1 pend" to "a pend"

[thorny chasm]

well first off, that text is actually nice to read unlike my entry

[fickle wraith]

doesnt change anything but its better PSCT

[thorny chasm]

well one, you can change "spell counters" to just "counters"
that saves like 2-6 "spell" length words

[fickle wraith]

thats true but what about the edge cases

the predator counters

[thorny chasm]

idk if you can really do anything problematic with the teeny tiny extra versatility tbh

[fickle wraith]

thats very true

"You can add 1 Pendulum Monster with a level equal to or lower than the amount of Counters on this card from your Deck to your Extra Deck face-up. You can target 1 card you control"

thats an easy cut

the other stuff could be problematic but if theres only spell counters coming onto the card to begin with you dont need to specify spell counters there

[thorny chasm]

hence why i said 2-6
i'm sure you can have "spell counter" in there somewhere that stops you from doing stupid stuff

[fickle wraith]

the endymion curse

doomed to use far too many words to explain pretty simple and intuitive effects

[sudden palm]

i looked through all the link monsters and it should be D/D/D Abyss King Gilgamesh

with runners up being
2. Neo Super Quantal Mech King Blaster Magna
3. Hi-Speedroid Rubber Band Shooter
4. Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant
5. The Weather Painter Rainbow

[fickle wraith]

oh nice

im "only" 200 words ahead

sorry

200 characters

typing error

what if i changed the HOPT to a soft once per turn

that would save a lot of characters but it could also be Bad

[forest vortex]

Ok so like
Timelord support to bring out their Synchro
Yay or nay?

[thorny chasm]

idk how good they are at getting counters but logic tells me it would require too much setup to really be abused

[forest vortex]

With that I mean Effect monsters and Tuners

[fickle wraith]

timelord support in general is based

[fickle wraith]

yeah i was meaning like futureproofing

there could be some future counter deck that this accidentally busts

[thorny chasm]

ah yes, the classic "whatever in it's own archetype but banned because of another"

[forest vortex]

Verte and Halqu:

[sudden palm]

i am going to eviscerate the next person who claims halq was not good in crystrons

[forest vortex]

Who said he was bad?
I meant more banned because of getting abused by everyone else

[sudden palm]

whatever in it's own archetype

[forest vortex]

Good that I didn't wrote that

[fickle wraith]

https://imgur.com/a/SdvQJY5

there its got description now woohoo

[thorny chasm]

[Spell card] Continuous
At the end of your Main Phase 1: Special Summon 1 or more "Demon" cards from your hand Deck or Extra Deck to your opponents side of the field, this effect of "Den of Evil" can only be used once per turn. This card can only be removed from the field by the effect of a LIGHT monster.```

This is an archetype based around equip cards, and summoning demons from your hand deck or extra deck to your opponents side of the field, and beating them to get gold counters on your stores to spend for specific cards

i woke up like a week ago and went "wait, diablo 2 would actually be a sick yugioh archetype"

i've gotta make the portal scroll, identifying scroll, all the classes, the demons of course, equipment, the shops to get everything up and running, and maybe even runes, which you'd equip to an equip card

[lament bronze]

Red-Eyes Aura 
[Level 1/Dark/Warrior/Effect]
You can discard this card; send 1 "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" from your hand or Deck to the GY, and if you do, add 1 "Lord of the Red" and 1 Spell/Trap that mentions it from your Deck to your hand. If this card is Tributed or banished: You can target 1 "Lord of the Red" you control; it gains this effect. 
● Once while face-up on the field, if 2 or more Spell Cards were activated this turn (Quick Effect): You can destroy all other monsters on the field.
You can only use each effect of "Red-Eyes Aura" once per turn. 
ATK 400 / DEF 100

Inferno Fire Blow 
[Normal Trap]
If a card(s) is destroyed by battle or by card effect while you control a Dragon monster: inflict 2400 damage to your opponent. Then, if you control "Lord of the Red", you can negate the effects of all face-up cards your opponent currently controls. You can only activate 1 "Inferno Fire Blow" per turn. 

[forest vortex]

Feels like it should require a Red Eyes Black Dragon instead of any dragon

Or atleast a Red Eyes Monster in general

[lament bronze]

pufft

the burn on its own is already bad.

since it needs a card to be destroyed. bro fr why you stuck in 2006

[boreal tendon]

Yo new ftk enabler just dropped

[lament bronze]

oh no

i can't take any of this shit seriously

it's so dumb

[forest vortex]

That's the concept I have so far for them.
The Monsters that are Special Summoned with the effects of other Time monsters return to the Hand during the End Phase. All of them can SS themself If you control no monsters. For the Synchros (a Level 6, 7 and 8) I had in mind effects that let you summon Timelords even with monsters on the Field

Not sure if they should be able to SS Timelords aswell

[forest vortex]

I think I will just Name the Main Deck ones after Greek Numbers instead

[sacred parrot]

Level 4 DARK Pyro/Pendulum/Effect
1500/0
PS0
Pendulum Effect: If a "Slithering Flame" Pendulum Monster(s) you control would be added to the Extra Deck face-up, banish it instead.
Monster Effect: If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 of your banished "Slithering Flame" monsters, Special Summon it, but if it is a Fusion Monster, its effect are negated. You can only use this effect of "Slithering Flame Saro" once per turn.```

here is my second card.

[ember drift]

interesting

[sacred parrot]

thanks

[dire leaf]

Contest ends soon. Get in your entries quick.

[tulip kelp]

i catually got mine in pretty early this time!

[prisma jasper]

https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=12769653
This is my take on Tribute Summoning. What do you think?

[tulip kelp]

ayo
time thief support

[tulip kelp]

oh this is gonna be a real annoying deck to play against isnt it
archetype of handtraps

what's up with eidolon heart?

cross support with another custom arch or what

[forest vortex]

I didn't think about them while making these but for how little they interact it's probably ok anyway.
(I completly forgot Time thieves exist )

[prisma jasper]

no, it was a typo on my end

the archetype previous name was Crimson Soul

[prisma jasper]

Maybe, but unlike regular handtraps, those takes Tributes to hit the field, and are telegraph, because you need to reveal them to SS the monsters you will Tribute

[tulip kelp]

i thought that mightve been the case but none of the monsters banish anything as cost so that effect still doesnt make sense

[thorny chasm]

two different azazels 👁👁

[thorny chasm]

Level 11 LIGHT [Rock/Effect]
ATK 3000/DEF 600
During the Main Phase, if you Normal or Special Summoned 5 or more monsters this turn: You can Tribute as many face-up monsters on your side of the field as possible, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand to your opponent's side of the field, then Special Summon 1 "Primal Being Token" (Rock/LIGHT/Level 11/ATK?/DEF?) to your side of the field. (This Token's ATK/DEF become the combined original ATK/DEF of the Tributed monsters.) You can only use this effect of "The Primal Being, Nibiru" once per turn.```

i'm sure you could make this work

if nibiru was an extra deck monster i'd have loved to submit this
i love doing stupid stuff

[tulip kelp]

thats very funny
but also
if you have a board with enough combined atk to kill over a 3k body you probably win anyway

(this one doesnt even clear the opps board like og nib)

[thorny chasm]

i can imagine like, high ATK monsters who can't attack using it

but yes, it's pretty much just an "i win, but i wanna win with style" strategy

[prisma jasper]

https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=12769653
This is my take on Tribute Summoning. What do you think?

[thorny chasm]

there's still two cards with the same name

[thorny chasm]

Level 4 DARK [Spellcaster/Effect]
ATK ?/DEF ?
This card's ATK becomes equal to the turn count X 500.
This card's DEF becomes equal to the turn count X 400.
You can toss a coin and call it, if you call it right, banish all monsters your opponent controls, and if you do, your opponent takes damage equal to half the total ATK those banished monsters had on the field, if you call it wrong, banish as many monsters you control as possible, and if you do, take damage equal to half the total ATK those banished monsters had on the field, you can only use this effect of "The Wizard of Time" once per turn.
For every monster banished with the effect of "The Wizard of Time" increase the turn count by 1.```

and this *time* the boy actually has abilities related to time

[prisma jasper]

wierd, I will fix that

[prisma jasper]

Fixed 🙂

[thorny chasm]

🫡

[forest vortex]

Btw are they good how they are? I had someone tell me the Synchros shpuld all be Level 10 but is that really neccecary?

[fickle wraith]

that is a fucking based time wizard retrain

[ember drift]

same based

[forest vortex]

Maybe changing the Name to just Timelord would be better

[thorny chasm]

so assuming you even run 6 hole normal traps, you get to essentially skip your turn (since you'd only use this card if it's a situation you can't play through, meaning you can't play through it and have to wait for the end phase) to banish just 6 cards
i feel like evenly matched, nibiru, etc are just strictly better choices honestly
unless you have a custom traptrix card that can get back banished hole cards or something like that

and i feel like maybe "otherworldly trap hole" would work better as a name since they're getting banished and not sent to the grave

[thorny chasm]

bro's typing fr

[waxen maple]

Slavedrivion, the Overtimelord LIGHT Link 2
Fairy / Link / Effect
2 monsters
If you control no monsters, except "Timelord" monsters, you can Normal Summon "Timelord" monsters without Tributing.

If the effect of a "Timelord" monster this card points to is activated: You can pay 2000 LP; negate the activation.
ATK/ 0 Link: Left-Down, Right-Down

[thorny chasm]

wait, are you describing the link arrows as if it was a compass?

huh..

[waxen maple]

There

[forest vortex]

You could just aswell say: If the effect of a "Timelord" monster this card points to is activated: You can negate the activation.

It's not like they are that good anyway tbh

[pure eagle]

Source of The Pestilent Wind
Normal Trap
Detach 1 from a Zombie Xyz monster you control and target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; Negate that cards effects. If this card is in your GY, except the turn it was sent there: You can Send 2 face-up monsters in your Extra Deck to the GY and discard 1 card; Set this card from your GY. You can only use 1 effect of "Source of The Pestilent Wind" per turn, and only once that turn.

I may need to tone this down a bit actually

non targeting imperm that makes you plus like crazy in it's intended archetype is a bit much

[waxen maple]

Slavedrivion, the Overtimelord LIGHT Link 2
Fairy / Link / Effect
2 monsters
If you control no monsters, except "Timelord" monsters, you can Normal Summon "Timelord" monsters without Tributing. If you control a Normal Summoned "Timelord" monster, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, also you take no battle damage from attacks involving this card. If the effect of a "Timelord" monster this card points to is activated: You can pay 2000 LP; negate the activation, and if you do, draw a card.
ATK/ 0 Link: Left-Down, Right-Down

There.
Gotta pay, because he's the Overtimelord, not the Unpaid Overtimelord

[jovial shale]

There's an effect I don't know how to psct lol

[tulip kelp]

slavedrivion
a little on the nose there huh

[jovial shale]

"If you resolve a counter trap, you can Special Summon this card from your hand"

Idk how to word that lol

[tulip kelp]

just write it like the kashtiras

[kashtira fenrir]

[viral tapir]

Kashtira Fenrir

Level: 7
[ Psychic / Effect ]

ATK 2400 / DEF 2400

F/L Status: Limited (OCG), Unlimited (TCG)

[storm pecan]

i think it's just "if a counter trap card is activated" as a trigger effect

[tulip kelp]

If you activate a Counter Trap (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand.

[storm pecan]

well i guess unless you don't want it to be a trigger effect

[tulip kelp]

it needs to be a trigger effect

it doesn't function otherwise

[tulip kelp]

well i know this aint the furst card to ignore the timelord condition but why do they even have the cant be ssed from deck at this point anyway

[storm pecan]

just a quick effect that activates after resolution idk

that might not have any point

[jovial shale]

Alright cool

[tulip kelp]

that's functionally identical to a trigger

[jovial shale]

Playing with an archetype that'd be p similar to counter fairy

Hence why I asked

[royal nebula]

I'm not surprised that fortnite sex man doesn't know how a banish 6 with the same conditions as imperm and no targeting on spell speed 4 are good in a deck with limited direct removal as is

[pure eagle]

Dancing Boneyard of the Pestilent Wind
Rank 6 Wind Zombie Pendulum

[jovial shale]

Gosei Guardian WATER/Fairy/Effect/700 ATK/1700 DEF/Level 5
If you activate a "Gosei" Counter Trap (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned: You can banish 1 Counter Trap from your GY; Draw 1 card, then if it was a "Gosei" Counter Trap, your monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects for the rest of this turn.

[ember drift]

who is guardian a reference to?

[jovial shale]

Not a specific reference, just the archetype has an internal "heirarchy" I suppose

[ember drift]

oh is this a reference to Goseiger?

[jovial shale]

Though if we're talking inspiration it's definitely Sentai based lol

Ye

He's basically Gosei Blue lol

[ember drift]

cool, hm a bit powerful for a level 5 I feel

its low ATK is the only real counter balance

but I am interesting to see how this archetype pans out

[forest vortex]

Honestly doesn't seem that bad considering you need to activate a Counter Trap for it...oh wait it's a Fairy

[ember drift]

will it include the mechas or just the rangers

[jovial shale]

I could do mecha based stuff as the extra deck

[forest vortex]

Could Copie Quants

[jovial shale]

I nerfed it a bit

[ember drift]

kinda want to see a new take on the formula

maybe Link 1s that require the rangers as link material

[jovial shale]

The idea is to play with no monsters

[ember drift]

and then they make a link 5

[jovial shale]

But when you start negating they pop out

Sure

[forest vortex]

Runics is that you?

[jovial shale]

It's basically a mirror of Dinomorphia wanting you to have low life

Gosei Paradise (Field Spell)
You can activate "Gosei" Counter Traps from your hand. While you control a "Gosei" monster, all damage you take is halved. Once per turn, if a "Gosei" monster is destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect, you can banish 1 "Gosei" Counter Trap from your GY.

Ohhhh jeez I finished the custom card tournament thing

If you control a "Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" monster, you can activate this card from your hand.

[honest bane]

How would I word an effect for an Xyz monster along the lines of...

Gains the following effect depending on number of materials:
0: Effects of other "name" monsters you control cannot be negated.
1-2: "name" cards you control cannot be targeted by card effects.
3+: (itself is) Unaffected by card effects

(0 effect being like Subterror Final Battle, where it can be used/applied in response to the effect, instead of "cannot be activated in response" protection)

[forest vortex]

Discard 1 card; Toss a coin and apply the appropriate effects.
● Heads: add 2 cards from your Deck to your hand that require a die roll or coin toss.
● Tails: add 1 card from your Deck to your hand that requires a die roll or coin toss.```

the original version of this didn't have the discard cost because the advantage you were getting wasn't that strong, but i've decided i have to consider my own custom cards when designing these, since they'd all be playable together if they were playable
so instead of asking "is adding a gambler of legend and a time wizard to my hand op?" i should ask "is adding a coin tree and the wizard of time to my hand op?"

even then i'm pretty sure this is still pretty fucked, so i'll most likely be adding a bunch of restrictions to it

realized while typing that that i forgot to add a hard once per turn and or "except this card" to it 💀

actually, how about a "the effects of cards added to your hand by "X" cannot be activated that turn"
?

maybe that would make it too slow tho

[sacred parrot]

Is Rice Wine a good idea?

[storm pecan]

depends on how late it is in the day

[thorny chasm]

but why is it a spell card?

[sacred parrot]

Hot Sauce Bottle is a Spell too

[thorny chasm]

yugioh anime shenanigans i suppose

[sacred parrot]

I can agree with you there, and it belongs to fanfiction as well

[honest bane]

Question:

How strong would a Continuous trap be that has an effect along the lines of:

"You can target 1 card on either players field: Discard 1 card, then banish that card until the endphase, Then if you controlled the monster, Draw 1 card."

[pure eagle]

I’d honestly consider it underpowered

Sure it powercreeps dark factory of more production,

But that card wasn’t very good to begin with

[honest bane]

Does it need the discard cost on the effect? Or could I replace it with something slightly less impactful.
maybe detatch Xyz material, or something?

[thorny chasm]

so, what happened to the event?
is it being judged atm or what?

[storm pecan]

it'll take a while to be judged

[thorny chasm]

ah, alright then
just didn't list a judging period so i was wondering

[tulip kelp]

yeah judging lasts, well, until the judge has time to do it
theres no particular time period but itll take a while

[fickle wraith]

Secret Village Burning
Spell

This spell's activation is unaffected by all effects. Target one face-up spell/trap; destroy it.

[pure eagle]

Why though

[thorny chasm]

so it's like MST but slightly different

[boreal tendon]

WE DID IT CHAT

WE POWERCREPT SPIRITUALISM

[gray elk]

I especially love that

The name implies that you want this to pop secret village

And you still can't

[honest bane]

That just feels like "fuck floodgates"

And you know what? I'm here for it

I hate most floodgates, But really enjoy a good Control

"Abyssalisk Hadal Lands" continuous spell.

During the Endphase, if you do not control an Xyz monster: You can send this card to the GY; Special summon 1 "Abyssalisk" Xyz monster from your extradeck to the extra monster zone. You can only use each effect of "Abyssalisk Hadal Lands" once per turn```

[gray elk]

the psct is a mess

and the "Banish it" is ambiguous

[honest bane]

Yeah I know the psct is a but of a mess.
Banish it, refering to the targeted monster.

Assuming (very widely) that the card works as intended. how strong does it seem?

[gray elk]

i have no context for the archetype

[honest bane]

Just as a standalone card I mean.

[gray elk]

cards don't exist in a vacuum

if you want me to evaluate it in a vacuum, my opinion is that it's not functional as it is the only Abyssalisk card that exists

see how silly that is?

[honest bane]

Here's the only 2 other cards so far

An Xyz with varying effects depending on materials, and a monster which can attach itself

[gray elk]

with this much context i can only say they're unplayable

the wrangler's effect is needlessly convoluted for what it does

i don't see how you make a rank 11 with these

[honest bane]

It's not done yet, but thanks

[gray elk]

finishing it up at the same time would probably give you better advice tbh

rn it's just a mess

[honest bane]

Yeah, it's supposed to be a bit like Spriggans or Zoodiacs (ignoring that they just loop).

Stacking Xyz material and gaining effects from attaching and detaching

[gray elk]

sure, but as may notice, both archetypes cheat out their xyz monsters

you need to make a viable way to field two lv 11s here

[honest bane]

Yeah.

Currently the continuous spell can do that, Sending itself during the Endphase to summon one

But I'm gonna make more cards obviously

[honest bane]

It's main "hopeful" idea,

Summon monsters, Banish them until Endphase, cheat Xyz.
Then they all return on opponents turn

[fickle wraith]

what

how come

[gray elk]

secret village doesn't affect any cards

you making the activation non negatable is irrelevant

[fickle wraith]

ok what about "your opponent cannot prevent this card's activation"

[gray elk]

same thing

[fickle wraith]

what if i made it a trap and "you can activate this trap the turn it was set"

[gray elk]

sure

[fickle wraith]

awesome

[thorny chasm]

"cards cannot be activated in response to this card's activation"
that's the obelisk way anyways, and it would only prevent them from activating effects, effects already in play will work as intended

idk what kind of effect you really want the card to have

[thorny chasm]

also, targetting a face-up Spell/Trap card isn't a cost
so it should end with a ":" not a ";"

[jovial shale]

Supreme Fusionist EARTH/Beast/Fusion/Effect/900 ATK/700 DEF/Level 3
2 Level 3 or lower monsters with the same Level
If this card is used as material for a Fusion Summon: You can draw 1 card. Cannot be destroyed by battle.

damn trying to retrain Rare Fish is hard

because what do you make this thing do lol

[barren walrus]

finally

Rarer Fish

[jovial shale]

Rarest Fish WATER/Fish/Fusion/Effect/1500 ATK/1200 DEF/Level 4
1 Level 3 or lower Fusion Monster + 1 WATER monster
This card can attack directly. If this card was Fusion Summoned using 2 Fusion monsters as material, it can attack twice. Cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Fusion monster from your GY, but it cannot attack.

[thorny chasm]

at last, hungrier burger

[thorny chasm]

so, a 3 card investment or an insant fusion to get what might aswell be a marshmallow
which then has a weak draw effect when even more cards are spent on fusing it with something else

what if it could act as a poly?
like "Send this card to the GY: Fusion Summon 1 fusion monster from the Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand field or GY as Fusion Material."

then perhaps make it able to act as a substitute for any fusion material

[storm pecan]

they're just trying to make a different version of garura

[sudden palm]

Trickstar Poison Bouquet

[sacred parrot]

I wonder if there is a Fusion counterpart archetype to the scraps?

[honest bane]

Dinomorphia destroy their own cards a bunch

and yes, it's busted, i know

[thorny chasm]

an insane..magical scientist?

[rustic breach]

botnet attack

continuous/spell

when you opponent draw or add a card : revel it and unlit the end of turn, those reveled cards cannot be activated, set , or summoned.

too powerful?

[thorny chasm]

but why is it a spell card

wait can you even activate set normal spells during your opponent's turn

[fathom pivot]

thats a lot of typos and wrong wording, the card effect would be

When your opponent draws or adds a card to their hand: Reveal it, the revealed card cannot be Summoned, Set or activate its effects until the end of this turn.

First of all its a spell card it should be a trap or quick play

second it could have a restriction or a once per turn

[thorny chasm]

shouldn't it just be "adds a card from the Deck to the hand" like ash blossom?
unless this legit works on the normal draw

[thorny chasm]

thing is, he said "those"
meaning cards, plural

[fathom pivot]

i have no idea if they meant with the normal draw or a draw effect

[nocturne sphinx]

Honestly, without a once per turn effect it would just be busted, since so many decks live and die by how they can get their keys to victory together.

[thorny chasm]

idk how you'd even word the reveal part in this case

[rustic breach]

normal draw

hmmm looking at it now , it effect work on both

[thorny chasm]

then add the clause that it can only be activated during the start pf your main phase 1

otherwise your side of the deal can be completely avoided

in that case..
hm, obviously your strategy would have to function without searching or drawing
but idk if there's an archetype that can really function without that

things like tourguide would still work just fine tho
so while niche it can still absolutely crush your opponent due to it being squarely in the category of "if your deck isn't built specifically around it you're fucked"

[fathom pivot]

Level 3/EARTH/Zombie/Tuner/Effect
ATK/1400 DEF/0
When a Zombie monster is Special Summoned from either GY, you can send a Zombie monster from your Deck to the GY, Special Summon this card (from your hand), then, you can make this card’s level become that of the monster you sent to the GY until the end of this turn.

You can only use this effect of “Performapal Smile Serpent” once per turn. If this card is sent from the hand or field to the GY: You can add 1 “Smile World” from your Deck to your Hand.

Tldr; fuck you odd-eyes we’re doing our own thing

And no I don’t care how many performapals are ostracized by this effect

I want to support the funny circus animals

[thorny chasm]

the casual +6 on special summon

[pure eagle]

That requires you to control 6 monsters with different types and altered stats

But yes

And only if special summoned from GY or pend summoned

This card wasn’t especially designed with super balance in mind

[thorny chasm]

actually, isn't there a card that lets you place monsters in your backrow?
casual +11

[pure eagle]

Nah it only counts monsters, not monster cards

[thorny chasm]

🤨
the hell is the difference

[pure eagle]

It’s very anal but a difference does exist

[thorny chasm]

ayo??

[pure eagle]

Also monsters in spell/trap zones don’t have stats anyways

[slim raft]

At the Start of your Main Phase 1:reveal your entire hand and shuffle it into the Deck, and if you do, add 5 "Flower Cardian" monsters, with different names( 3 non-Tuner and 2 Tuner monsters) from your Deck to your Hand. if this card is sent to the GY by a "Flower Cardian" monster's effect: add 1 "Flower Cardian" monster from yo`ur Deck to your Hand.```

the main cards in one of my new archetypes thoughts on balance?

[tulip kelp]

these need hopts cause either of these represents 6 disruptions on its own

[tired tulip]

This looks like a fun card (not my art)

[gray elk]

Ngl the text is all over the place, and it's not as functional as you'd might expect

The opt should be on the end of the text

The first effect lacks any and all punctuation

And the special summons should ignore summoning conditions if you want to ss the old toons

[lament bronze]

why toon custom cards are always cursed by bad card text

fr fr

[tired tulip]

I probably should've say that i didn't write the text neither, like i said, it's not my art

[tulip kelp]

special summon 2 monsters from deck, then activate toon kingdom from deck

yeah thats pretty much what a pote era legacy support card looks like

[tired tulip]

This ain't my art either, i don't know if it's worded correctly, but it's looks so cool

[thorny chasm]

it only summons 1 from the deck
the other is summoned from the GY

[thorny chasm]

something that's always bothered me is how they opted not to put the attacking directly thing on the fucking toon world itself
it would save SO much text on all the toon monsters

[lament bronze]

Illusion-Eyes Artist
[Level 1/Dark/Spellcaster/Effect]
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can discard 1 card; add 1 "Relinquished" and 1 card that mentions it from your Deck to your hand, except "Illusion-Eyes Artist". If this card is sent to the GY by a card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Eyes Idol" monster from your Deck. You can only use each effect of "Illusion-Eyes Artist" once per turn.
ATK 0 / DEF 0 

[thorny chasm]

isn't this just a significantly worse rites?

[pure eagle]

It does search the support monsters too

[thorny chasm]

on a side note
i love how ritual monsters are so shit that a pot of greed that allows you to choose the cards you want to draw is only an SR

[thorny chasm]

[Continuous Spell Card]
Negate the effects of cards in the hand field or GY whoose names include 11 or more letters.```

idk where to place the line in terms of the amount of letters allowed tbh, but 11 is probably too little
and yes, this would work completely differently in the ocg, but the meta is different there anyways so 🤷‍♂️

[lament bronze]

kinda but not really. it still a plus one. can search the support monsters/fusion spell.
and gives you another body if you tribute it. most likely golden-eyes idol.

[thorny chasm]

this idea was sparked when i thought about making a deez nuts skeleton card
i thought "what if they can't use cards with long names because the nuts in their mouth prevent them from saying the whole thing"

(yes, i'm literally 8 years old)

[fickle wraith]

an archetype based on letters in names would be so funny and also hell for any other region at all

[thorny chasm]

actually, do other places get cards translated too?
i was only thinking of it in terms of english and japanese

[fickle wraith]

like "you can tribute this card; special summon one card with one more letter in it's name than this card"

[fickle wraith]

yeah

[thorny chasm]

uh oh

uh oh

[fickle wraith]

youd have to restrict it to in-archetype i guess

[thorny chasm]

eh it's fine, i love pure fucking chaos

[fickle wraith]

like "you can tribute this card; special summon one "verboforce" card with one more letter in it's name than this card"

then the translators just have to suffer instead of accidentally fucking up the whole meta forever

[thorny chasm]

it would be even funnier if the cards it works on doesn't change depending on region
so you could summon a 4 kanji mon even tho it says it can only summon mon's with 5 or more kanji

[fickle wraith]

this seems cool as hell actually now im thinking about it

like rank-up/rank-down magic but letters

[thorny chasm]

nyooo not my previous deez nuts idea!! stolen and robbed!!

[fickle wraith]

and their boss monster has like a 50 character name or some shit

[fickle wraith]

this kind of long as hell name

[thorny chasm]

or like that one card that opted not to have spaces in most of it's name

so it'd look like a randomly generated sequence of letters

i'm also currently making judge hell incarnate with a custom card based off of a gormiti card

[fickle wraith]

smalles monster: Verboforce Begin
longest monster: Verboforce Ultimate Weapon of Supreme Destruction - Final Forme ULTRA

its like synchro summoning except you add up the letters intead of the levels

damn!!

[thorny chasm]

a LOT of the gormiti cards mention psychic powers
i suppose an entire archetype that fucks with your opponents intentions could be a fun idea
like, combined with the Delos card i made, imagine a card that would force your opponent to use a certain card in their hand next

maybe even make it a dice roll, why not
roll a dice, go in order from your left to right, they have to use that card next, if they fail to do so (X)

[pure eagle]

I almost want to make a rush duel deck that works off having no cards left in your deck

[fickle wraith]

could theme them around the end of the world or something

like their archetype prefix is Doomsday

or something like that

[pure eagle]

I was just thinking about a desert theme and the cards that prevent you from death by deckout are related to rain

Archetype prefixes don’t really matter much in rush

But who knows

[fickle wraith]

you could have something that returns 1 card to the deck every pre draw phase

[pure eagle]

you draw 5 in rush

But fair
Need to finish my current project first though

[fickle wraith]

oh I forgor rush rules

[pure eagle]

The important parts are draw until 5 in hand, and no chains

[fickle wraith]

During the pre-draw phase, choose 5 cards that are in your hand, on the field, in the GY, or banished; shuffle them into the deck. (this is not optional)

[thorny chasm]

i think ", even though you do not control it"
can simply be changed to "instead"

nope, "even though you do not control it" is the proper psct for these effects.

instead, means that you are substituting the cost with something else entirely.

i kinda want it to do something while face up too, perhaps it would destroy cards on the field instead of dealing damage
and the idea here is that you plant it, and if your opponent doesn't trigger it then you can manually trigger it, taking half the explosion yourself

Normal Trap
When an opponent's Fusion Monster declares an attack, if your opponent controls more Fusion Monsters than you do: Neither player can Special Summon Fusion Monsters until your 2nd Standby Phase after this card's activation, also destroy as many Fusion Monsters on the field as possible, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the total Levels of the monsters destroyed by this effect x 200.```

If that card is ever used in a Battle Royal, you could basically win the entire duel if your opponent summoned Fusion Monsters, as you can just attack them directly

[thorny chasm]

big if

if they don't use fusion monsters this card does nothing, and if you give them a fusion monster they'll most likely use it for plays instead of attacking with it

side deck option for a fusion meta

true

[sacred parrot]

the final monster for this deck for now

[nocturne sphinx]

Very cool~

Just bit of a question: What kinda sample deck of Pestilent Wind would look like?

[pure eagle]

i have no idea yet,

but probably would include most of the cards, some lightsworns, and the generic zombie stuff

[pure eagle]

The unfortunate thing is I don’t have art for them and I don’t really feel like making art atm

[long spruce]

Shouldn't it say "control" instead of "have"?

Or specify having it on the field

Anyway funny card

[mental snow]

yeah yeah

fixed

[long spruce]

Wait

Ya adding it to your hand

That's also missing

[mental snow]

Tadah

[long spruce]

Still problem with "and if you have"

I would put "control"

To specify is on the field

[mental snow]

ah yeah yeah, forgot the second part of the effect

[long spruce]

Nice nice

Ya allowing Link summoning for a specific reason?

[mental snow]

It's mostly in order to summon a greater Link rated monster

Per example, if you have Quadborrel, use the newly summoned monster to go into Triple Burst or Borrelsword

[long spruce]

Since it's in the next turn I think it's fine

Funny card, 8/10

I should go back to make my archetype TwT

Kinda just dropped it...

Mhe

[long spruce]

Mh

[mental snow]

I decided to not include the other Borrels because

No one in their right minds play them

[long spruce]

I'm actually unsure about this card

You're negating some cards that have battle protection on proc

And I guess not having to worry mirror force and such cards

What effect during the damage step would you worried about to run this card instead of removal and such?

[mental snow]

First, Borrelsword doesn't have protection against destruction, lmao

It loses to a mirror force

[long spruce]

I forgot about that detail

Tfw you're a boss monster without protection

[mental snow]

So this card could make both it's effect online and protect it from any silly destruction

[long spruce]

Ok then yes

[mental snow]

Also it prevents the effects of monsters like Crystal Wing, Psychic End Punisher, etc etc

[long spruce]

Instead of "mode change" I would have called it "Surprise Assault"

[mental snow]

Which can defeat the Borrels by just...getting stronger

Eh, it's a reference to the anime

[long spruce]

Why ya have that image ready ; - ;

[mental snow]

i like borrels and rokkets

and rokkets and borrels

[long spruce]

Understandable

Make a field spell I dare you
