[kind crown]

Or probably another Gladiator Beast stronger than Domitianus

[sacred parrot]

Should I change Perforamausion archetype to have a different gammick than Gladiator Beast? I don't know what else to think for the Illusionist Archetype and besides, the Neo Archetype has done the same thing before Gladiator Beast did.

[kind crown]

Actually u don't need too

Focus on your archetype first

[sacred parrot]

ok thanks

[tranquil mango]

I forgot how hard Labbing a good, unique playstyle that remains thematic is

A Little progress every day i suppose

[sacred parrot]

Continous Spell
Your opponent cannot target "Performausion" monsters you control with card effects, except during the Battle Phase. If a "Performausion" monster(s) is Special Summoned from your Main Deck, except (during the Damage Step): Special Summon 1 "Performausion" monster with a different Level from the monsters you control. You can only use this effect of "Performausion Great Show"```

[forest vortex]

Reworked them a bit to be Illusionist compatible
(No I won't put in the usual effect's because they will drop that anyway later on)

[sacred parrot]

Level 4 LIGHT Illusionist/Effect
ATK 1600/DEF 1400
Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle involving this card. You can only use each of the following effects of "Performausion Sword Swallower" once per turn. If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Performausion" monster: You can destroy 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls, and if you do, inflict 800 damage to your opponent. At the end of this turn, if this card battles an opponent's monster; shuffle this card into the Deck; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Performausion" monster from your Deck, except "Performausion Flame Eater".```

here is another one

[vernal patrol]

Traces of the Storm
8* / WIND / Scale 2/2
Illusion / Pendulum / Normal
(Pendulum Effect) If 2 or more of your opponent's Spells/Traps are destroyed at the same time by your card effect: You can Special Summon this card from the Pendulum Zone, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
(Normal text) Survivors of a hurricane often say that before the devastation began, they saw this humanoid figure dancing in the wind. Those hit hardest - who lost all their possessions and even family members - will even relate that they saw it smiling a crooked, malicious grin back at them...
ATK 2950 / DEF 0

i'm personally going with illusion type over illusionist, feels like the more natural and tcg rendering. also lol wind 2-tribute normal meme, wind effigy will be useful eventually

[honest bane]

Hey, Wind Effigy has one use. Theres that one Simorgh which treats itself as a normal monster right?

[vernal patrol]

ye but that doesn't count tbh, every attribute has a 2-tribute normal except wind

[golden lynx]

Pot of Repentance
Spell Card

You can banish any number of "Pot of" Spell and/or "Jar of" Trap cards from your Graveyard face-down, then draw cards equal to the number of cards banished. You can only activate "Pot of Repentance" once per duel.

[kind crown]

Why did it wear a sunglasses?

[golden lynx]

he's repented from greed and now he's a cool guy

[kind crown]

Now you mention it..

I want to put sunglasses on my Cyber Dragon too

[golden lynx]

hell yeah

[thorny chasm]

decently strong, potentially broken if you're lucky
if you start with it and pot of desires for example, then it turns into an upstart with no cost

also, is there any trap pot of cards?
i don't recall that being the case

[golden lynx]

Ah my bad lemme fix that

I forgot that there's the jar trap and thought it was a pot trap

I might turn it into a trap card as a forced going second option

*use second

brain fart

[thorny chasm]

idk if that's necessary
you need to start with 2 different specific cards in your hand for it to do the do
and alot of the pot cards don't really work with it
extra could work if it's a trap i guess, but then it would just turn into a situational jar of greed

[golden lynx]

Fair enough

I think that it's fine the way it is then

[thorny chasm]

it's weird, cause you use like 3 pot cards, including batshit insane plays like pot of generosity then it's broken beyond belief

[forest vortex]

Abaki the Burning Demon of Hatred
Level 4/FIRE/Fiend/Effect
1700 ATK/ 1000 DEF

If this card leaves the field, both players take 500 Damage. If this card battled a monster, destroy the monster that battled this card, then both players take damage equal to half the ATK of the destroyed monster. Both players receive Battle Damage out of Battles involving this card.

[nocturne sphinx]

ABAKI

[forest vortex]

BURB

[honest bane]

"Song of the Abees" Quickplay spell.

-: Special summon 1 WIND monster from your hand, then draw 1 card.
-: Special summon 1  level 7 or lower WIND monster from your GY, but banish it when it leaves the field.
You cannot special summon monsters during the turn you activate this card except WIND monsters. You can only activate "Song of the Abees" once per turn.```

-

How good does it seem?

[forest vortex]

What is a Abeeator?

Wind Synchro is fairly generic

Maybe make it more specidic to them

[burnt crane]

Level 5/Synchro/LIGHT/Machine/Tuner
0 ATK/0 DEF
1 Tuner + 1+ monsters
For this card's Synchro Summon, you can treat 1 monster in your hand as a Level 1 Tuner. When this card is Synchro Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand or GY. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can declare a Level from 1 to 5; all monsters on the field become that Level. During the Main Phase, you can (Quick Effect): Immediately after this effect resolves, Synchro, Fusion, or Xyz Summon using monsters from your hand or field (including this card) as material. You can only use each effect of "Summon Regulator" once per turn.```

[forest vortex]

Changes a monster in your HAND in to a Level 1 Tuner and makes it useable from there for it's summon. Also emmidiently sets up for Extra Deck plays

K...

Holy fuck

[burnt crane]

Hey, i like to design cards just teetering on the edge of being completely broke

[forest vortex]

I don't think thats teetering

It also emmidiently uses monsters in your Hand for everything too

Why not also throw Links in there?

[burnt crane]

Cuz Links are already great enough tbh

The card looks and sounds broke, but what it boils down to is facilitating generic Synchro/Fusion/Xyz

Which, while very strong, isn’t exactly anything mindblowing the game has never seen before

[forest vortex]

Never seen but it's generic as hell

[burnt crane]

Well yeah

It is supposed to be generic support

[kind crown]

Ms Guide for some reason

I nearly mispelled your name as "Misguide"

[steady badger]

@tranquil mango

[tranquil mango]

The psct looks p much perfect to me

Id be happier if you just used "summoned" instead of "normal or special summoned" but personal gripe with konamis card design tbh

Wide range of effects! But they seem good and balanced!

[steady badger]

poggg

the only issue is that your only starter is sunstained anf theres no illusionist rota

[tranquil mango]

Haha well im sure we will get more stuff

Just gotta be patient

[steady badger]

yeah

[tranquil mango]

But these are pretty nice

And of course can change over time

Been working on my own cards recently

Only happy with 1 so far rest are just skeletonized

[steady badger]

I'm glad I felt pretty proud of them besides Cloudrowning bc he's the most forced design

[tranquil mango]

But bit by bit gonna improve em

Hmm maybe but its still serviceable

Its not like its out of place

[steady badger]

it was just like

[tranquil mango]

I can see him being a 1 of searched

[steady badger]

ok so the thought process was sunstained + moonburnt loop with the synchro

and then i thought i should get a guy that benefits from the moonburnt pop

and then i added a ht effect for the synchro bounce

so they're both very forced effects

i also rewrote sunstained for him bc initially sunstained always special summoned no add

[tranquil mango]

Hmmm

Maybe just need some more cards to add to the bones

Hard to design if you only have 4 cards of space yknow

But considering the pool i atill think theyre great design

Dont think they would be meta but would see play and have very usable effs

[steady badger]

aleister the invoker x)

but yeah just needs more consistency and an extender

[tranquil mango]

Designing cards is hard

[steady badger]

very much

[tranquil mango]

Im really struggling with mine ngl

[steady badger]

👁️ ?

[tranquil mango]

But! Little bit of work every day

The one in making is a massive archetype

[steady badger]

i could offer Bad advice

[tranquil mango]

Like 30+ cards

[steady badger]

oh dear

[tranquil mango]

Yeah

The more i work on customs the more sympathy i have for r&d ngl

Way harder than it seems at first

Lore archetype too

So trying to get the story in order and deciding what should be a card and what shouldnt

Bleh

[steady badger]

hmm yeah

tbh I've never managed to make a functioning archetype from scratch

but im very good at working off of a foundation

like when beetrooper got its 1st wave

[tranquil mango]

The illusionists seem good tho

[steady badger]

i made 7 cards i was very proud of

by functioning arche from scratch i mean the usual 12 to 14 cards an arche gets

[tranquil mango]

Tbf my archetype isnt completely foundationless

[steady badger]

it's just overwhelming

[tranquil mango]

It is based off book of moon

But its like

[steady badger]

ah you've mentioned them b4

[tranquil mango]

Book of moon is mostly the lore foundation

I just think setting is a really cool mechanic

[steady badger]

you made some silly text for flipping

[tranquil mango]

Ye

So a lot of these cards will have setting as its main intereuption

But i want them to also interact in really fun and unique ways

That can change in power based on the meta

Kind of like bom itself, how it floats in and out of relevance based on the meta

But really hard to make them balanced and not op yet interesting

[steady badger]

[tranquil mango]

Its exciting and fun tho

[steady badger]

for sure

[tranquil mango]

Exploring idea space and the story

If u look on db u can find some of my customs that i kinda threw together

Im redoing them all but theyll probably be recycled to some extent

[steady badger]

can i

[tranquil mango]

The art is honestly my proudest part

[steady badger]

idt u can sort by designer

[tranquil mango]

Db name is Zyjacya

Can look up "lunar library" and find them probably

[steady badger]

i know that much

bet

[tranquil mango]

U will know which ones are mine by the art

[steady badger]

add a moon sect cameo /j

[tranquil mango]

Haha

Perhaps

I have the story roughly outlined already, and even a sequel idea in the works

After the lunar library lore arc we start the solar library arc

[steady badger]

book of taiyou poggers

[tranquil mango]

Might share some of the actual cards once i get more stuff fleshed out

[steady badger]

exciting exciting

best of luck with your developments 🙏

[tranquil mango]

Tyty

You gonna do more work on the illusionists?

[steady badger]

Maybe! Probably not, though

I'm only fueled by short outbursts of creativity

[tranquil mango]

I feel that haha

Best of luck on that tho, your cards are usually pretty well done

[steady badger]

and I don't like forcing custom cards like that so I haven't even played in the custom card contests in a while

the last thing I did before the Illusionists was this

then the Sunskorner

then some Union stuff

then I tried making an Xyz archetype but I completely forgot about them honestly-

[tranquil mango]

Ah i remember that one

Helped lab the psct a bit

Or one of the other ones in that series

[steady badger]

for skorner yeah

[tranquil mango]

Pretty interesting eff

[steady badger]

composer u didnt even see

[tranquil mango]

I definitely remember the name

[steady badger]

probs just skimmed it then bc u never commented on it smh

[tranquil mango]

I dont comment on every custom haha

[steady badger]

yeah that's fair

lemme see what i did b4 those xyz

[tranquil mango]

Is composer intended to be a pseudo negate on an opponents effect

Letting them banish a card on field until the ep seems pretty ok for them

[steady badger]

just some random things and ... another abandoned archetype lmao

[steady badger]

well yeah i thoughht itd be too unfair to cl1 important effect cl2 less important effect cl3 ash cl4 composer negate cl1

[tranquil mango]

Lol thwarted being able to negate itself

[steady badger]

gotta have some compensation

[tranquil mango]

Why not just say it can respond to any "triple tactics" card effect

[steady badger]

because then I'm not mentioning 3 cards yk

[tranquil mango]

Lol

[steady badger]

it initially didnt negate itself but i thought itd be sick right

[tranquil mango]

A lynchpin in the mirror

[steady badger]

like it negates 3 diff tactics thats why its triple tactics thwarting

[tranquil mango]

Clever

[steady badger]

it was just some custom card challenge prompt

like making an uh

[gryphon wing]

[viral tapir]

Gryphon Wing

Effect

When your opponent activates "Harpie's Feather Duster": Negate its effect, and if you do, destroy all Spells and Traps your opponent controls.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[steady badger]

for a modern card(s)

thought the ttts would be a good fit

[tranquil mango]

Haha

Well thwarting idt would see play but it is quite funny

Bit too specific setup

[steady badger]

well no one would play gryphon wing or anti raigeki or that monster reborn negate either

but they're cute

[tranquil mango]

Balleuhemer seems like rumi bait

Fair haha

[steady badger]

the lerystics were supposed to be like

various artillery right

catapults mortar etc

[tranquil mango]

Not every custom has to be good

[steady badger]

and the scales would be the ammo

[tranquil mango]

I.e. my mirage knight custom

[steady badger]

so u got a scale and tossed it on board and then it had a disruptive effect

[tranquil mango]

Ngl im still a little miffed that that mk didnt win the event

I felt like it was really cool and i was really proud of the art i made for it

[steady badger]

pretty lengthy cards though

[tranquil mango]

column

[steady badger]

prolly abandoned them for being too messy tbh

my specific inspiration was looking at deskbot and seeing them have 0 1 card combos

so i was like fuck it we need an earth machine pend deck with 1 card combod

[tranquil mango]

Herler only works if it targets itself?

[steady badger]

well it's meant to be like

keep hurler on field and its removal

[tranquil mango]

Should say monster card i think if ur selecting from the p zone

[steady badger]

or u pop hurler summon the small ball and the small ball summons back hurler and you get to make a link2

link2 in question being ballista for gear box for another lerystic

[tranquil mango]

Icic

[steady badger]

but designing them got too hard ig so i dropped it

i have another pair of lerystics and that synchro

[tranquil mango]

Idt you need (if any) if the activation is mandatory

Yeah i really feel for r&d a lot more

I still think spright is the worst designed archetype of all time but i cant blame them for just saying "idk man just ship it as is"

[steady badger]

shit lot of text

[steady badger]

i had that one galaxy in mind

[galaxy knight]

[viral tapir]

Galaxy Knight

Level: 8
[ Warrior / Effect ]

ATK 2800 / DEF 2600

Effect

If you control a "Photon" or "Galaxy" monster, you can Normal Summon this card without Tributing. If Summoned this way: Target 1 "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" in your GY (if possible); regardless, this card loses 1000 ATK, and if it does, Special Summon that target (if any) in Defense Position. This ATK decrease lasts until the end of this turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[tranquil mango]

Hmm

[tiamaton]

[viral tapir]

Iron Dragon Tiamaton

Level: 4
[ Dragon / Effect ]

ATK 2000 / DEF 0

Effect

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by the following effect. If 3 or more cards are in the same column (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Iron Dragon Tiamaton" once per turn. If this card is Special Summoned: Destroy all other cards in this card's column. Neither player can use the unused zones in this card's column.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[tranquil mango]

Or if u wanted to be a goof you could word it like exblower

And make it ambiguous if it could pop emz and mmz

[steady badger]

issue w the effs u bring up is they're single effs not 2 in 1 so its not as clean

but if any is prob unnecessary anyways

idk we were too tilted by making the scale effect work lmao

or like not the scale but hurler monster eff

[tranquil mango]

Rubblemaker should probably be worded like cbtg

[steady badger]

i def used a precedent for it but idk what

[tranquil mango]

Haha its an interesting eff tho

[steady badger]

I'm glad you like them even if they caused me immense pain

partially related smthg i always notice when i make a unique gimmick series or w.e. over archetypal support is that it always feels too outlandish compared to what konami brings out

including my illusionists anf such

they always feel oddly out of place compared to konami cards and its not just a psct thing

maybe i just overcomplicate effs or smthg

[tranquil mango]

Possibly

Its hard to know by what criteria konami deems an effect appropriate

I think they are scared of making stuff too complex or interesting to some extent

So when you see interesting ideas sometimes its like "hm that feels like komommy wouldnt print it"

[steady badger]

komommy is a new one

but yeah i felt it extremely w like

my runick generaider crossover

[forest vortex]

I said that too lol

[steady badger]

and then they made [sleipnir runick]

[viral tapir]

Sleipnir the Runick Mane

Level: 9
[ Beast / Fusion / Effect ]

ATK 1500 / DEF 1500

Effect

2 "Runick" monsters
During your Main Phase or your opponent's Battle Phase (Quick Effect): You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; banish both it and this card until the End Phase. If your opponent adds a card(s) from the Deck to the hand: You can Special Summon 1 "Runick Token" (Fairy/LIGHT/Level 4/ATK 1500/DEF 1500) in Attack Position. You can only use each effect of "Sleipnir the Runick Mane" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unreleased (TCG/OCG)

[steady badger]

and it's just like damn

[tranquil mango]

Gamered

[steady badger]

tbf this is a runick card and mine was more generaider but

still

[tranquil mango]

Mhm

[steady badger]

mine is a lot worse looking at like

[tranquil mango]

Its fine tho

[steady badger]

creativity? efficiency?

[tranquil mango]

Thats the other hard thing

Making them feel like real cards

[steady badger]

idk sleipnir beats the shit out of kvasir

[tranquil mango]

The one LL card i have "done" so far feels like that

But its hard getting everything to that point

[steady badger]

my most realistic cards are probably in the archive so i cant get them but like

mmm

i liked one of the bees i did

i also made pseudo circular before circular came out

and i got chided for it being too broken

[tranquil mango]

This beet card feels real

[tranquil mango]

Lol

Sometimes i like to imagine komommy r&d keeps an eye on this channel

Just lurking

[steady badger]

eh idk

[tranquil mango]

"ah thats a good idea we should do that"

[steady badger]

a lot of the better mech players said they want the deck to get a gazelle, that that would be the best support

i figure konami guys knew it too when making circ

[tranquil mango]

[salamangreat gazelle]

[viral tapir]

Salamangreat Gazelle

Level: 3
[ Cyberse / Effect ]

ATK 1500 / DEF 1000

Effect

If a "Salamangreat" monster is sent to your GY, except "Salamangreat Gazelle" (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "Salamangreat" card from your Deck to the GY, except "Salamangreat Gazelle". You can only use each effect of "Salamangreat Gazelle" once per turn.

F/L Status: Limited (TCG/OCG)

[steady badger]

a free special that's a mill basically

and that's what circ is

[tranquil mango]

Just cranked to 11

[steady badger]

while also adding a backrow for some reason grumble grumble

[tranquil mango]

I mean good cards are ok

Circ definitely feels bad to play vs tho

[steady badger]

idk Circular is definitely more well put together than my card but also like

[tranquil mango]

If it sent for effect i would be much less saddened by it

[steady badger]

god i fucking hate circular design so so much lol

instead of being a small bandaid it's a super bandaid just bc they made the mech extenders really bad cards

and it feels forced

[tranquil mango]

Hmmm i suppose

But i think its a lot more ok if u could ash the summon

[steady badger]

I'd rather card quality be equally distributed over . branded fusion jumpscare, fusion destiny jumpscare, kashtira arise heart jumpscare etc etc

[tranquil mango]

Sending sigma for ac is just brazy

Lol

Calling them jumpscares is really funny

[steady badger]

that's the one good thing ab spright and tear

all their cards are equally omega fucked

[tranquil mango]

Lol

Ash feels useless against spright

[steady badger]

too bad literally the entire rest of the gamr does not match that philosophy

so they were op

[tranquil mango]

Thats why i stick to drafts

Just finished a season 10-9 of chaos

Really close

But last game i steamrolled with eldlich vs their stall burn

Chaos is elite format

[steady badger]

sounds fun

[tranquil mango]

Yeuh

Thats partially my design philosophy for my cards too

Is makign them playable in draft formats to some extent

I think good cards dont necessarily need every other card in a deck to be good

Thats why the circ i pulled for chaos was omega broken, all i needed was one sigma to make it a viable card

I think thats part of what makes komommy cards feel like komommy cards too, is that they have a greater scope than being useable in just the advanced meta

[steady badger]

Speaking of Circular I just remembered another reason I hate him so much

he breaks the entire trend of the Mathmech Main Deck

[tranquil mango]

Which is?

[steady badger]

2 FIREs (Addition & Subtraction)
2 LIGHTs (Sigma, then Diameter later)
2 EARTHs (Division, Multiplication)
1 DARK (Nabla)

Coincidentally, both the LIGHT and DARK monsters are also Tuners. Naturally, you would deduce that the card to finish the Main Deck would be a DARK Tuner, right? Well, too bad, sucker, because Circular is neither and ruins the entire symmetry

[tranquil mango]

Light non tuner

Heh

[honest bane]

Abeeators are a WIND deck, Litterally there to be generic support for WIND Synchros, but locking into WIND.

[tranquil mango]

Haha funny name

I like it

[forest vortex]

Ah ok

Guessing Insects?

[honest bane]

Yes,

[forest vortex]

Beetrooper 2.0

[steady badger]

It's so weirdly irritating I wouldn't even mind a DARK non-Tuner since Sigma can be treated as a non-Tuner for a Synchro Summon but god

[honest bane]

Its also referencing my fav music artist. the Aviators.

And my fav song by them, Song of the Abyss.

Thats why its... abees

[tranquil mango]

Oh

I thought it was aviators plus bees

[honest bane]

Not really, As they dont support Insects at all, But support stuff like Speedroids, Windwitches, and Dragunity

[honest bane]

It is, But it was referencing the Aviators

[tranquil mango]

O

[honest bane]

But Bees

[tranquil mango]

So they are bees

[honest bane]

Yes

[tranquil mango]

👍

[steady badger]

punny names are always fun

my xyz deck was gonna be called Apotheotter like Apotheosis + Otters but it fell off

[tranquil mango]

Haha

Chemistry otters

[forest vortex]

Sorry, i meant Battle Wasps

I mix them up a lot

[steady badger]

che...mistry?

[honest bane]

Oh, I dont know what they do lol

[forest vortex]

Wind Synchro Insects lol

[steady badger]

their xyz monsters were supposed to be their god-hood /deified versions

[tranquil mango]

Oh

What does apotheosis mean

[steady badger]

becoming a god

[tranquil mango]

My brain read apothecary

Ah

Hehe

[steady badger]

the elevation of someone to divine status.

or the wikipedia blurb

Apotheosis, also called divinization or deification, is the glorification of a subject to divine levels and, commonly, the treatment of a human being, any other living thing, or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity.

[honest bane]

Well, Abeeators are partialy focused on supporting other wind decks with them, Rather than working fully alone

[steady badger]

Apothecraby

🔥

[tranquil mango]

Now we are cooking

[sacred parrot]

Level 4 WIND Machine/Effect
ATK 1400/DEF 1200
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Level 4 or lower "O.T." monster from your Deck to your hand, except "O.T. Falcon", or, if your LP are lower than your opponent's, Special Summon it instead. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this effect, except Machine monsters. You can only use this effect of "O.T. Falcon" once per turn. Once per turn, during your End Phase, pay 500 LP or destroy this card.```

[golden lynx]

Bakudan Blast Sphere
Level 4 Earth
Machine/Effect
ATK 1600
DEF 1400

If a monster you control was destroyed by it's own effect, you can Special Summon this card from your hand (face-down).
Once per turn, you can flip this card face-down, then move this card over one column. When this card is flipped face up, you can equip a monster your opponent controls to this card. Once per turn, you can banish a monster equipped to this monster you control face-down, then destroy all cards in the column this card is in except itself. You can only use the second and third effect of this card once per turn. You can only control 1 "Bakudan Blast Sphere", including if it is face-down.

[sacred parrot]

Level 8 DARK Wyrm/Fusion/Effect
ATK 2500/DEF 2000
2 Wyrm monsters
Must first be either Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by Tributing the above cards you control. You can only use each of the following effects of "Wraith Pitch Shinidrake" once per turn. You can target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy it. You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this effect, except Wyrm monsters. When a card or effect is activated that would destroy a Wyrm monster(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 card; negate the activation, and if you do, send that card to the GY.```

[forest vortex]

We need Rituals that don't need a Spell now to make up for all the Fusions that don't care about Poly

[sacred parrot]

how can it be possible?

[forest vortex]

By making a effect for it lol
I dunno I don't make it
(Atleast not yet)

[fluid obsidian]

It does need to have clear limitations

Maybe making it archtype exclusive

Or another cost such as "you cannot special summon monstrrs for the remainder of the turn" or something

[forest vortex]

Was just a thought cause some Fusions (and most custom cards I see) refuse Poly/Fusion Spells
So it would just be fair to also do some Rituals that don't need a Spell

[barren walrus]

megalith?

[forest vortex]

Generic ones would be good too

[thorny chasm]

i'd say making rituals an extra deck thing
but i'm not really sure how they'd do that outside of a metric fuck ton of retrains

or erratas i suppose

[forest vortex]

Not possible

Need to be maindeck

[thorny chasm]

why?

[forest vortex]

That's their thing
Only way is Pendulum

You can't put Normal/Effect monsters in it too

[nocturne sphinx]

Hey folks, is there a PSCT guide specifically for Rush format? Basically just remaking all the cards in Rush that I like because I like the card formatting better...

[forest vortex]

Maybe in the Pinned Posts

[nocturne sphinx]

Okie thanks. Like here is an example of what I tried

oops

hold on

[forest vortex]

That card felt like a Rush Duel Boss Monster anyway lmao

Really weird choise for the 25th Anniversary

[nocturne sphinx]

Ikr XD

I used Cyber Dragon as my reference

I'm still using this in Master Duels-- I just like the formatting better. I find the bigger art prettier, and the overall formatting easier on my eyes.

[kind crown]

May I have it?

I am a Cydra fan too

[nocturne sphinx]

Have what??

Cyber Dragon is already an official Rush card, if that's what you're asking

I meant I was using it as a reference for how to convert/make other cards

Rush actually has some totally new Cybers that don't exist in Master Duel. I recommend checking it out 😊

[kind crown]

Like Cyber Search Dragon?

[nocturne sphinx]

Yeah and more

[kind crown]

I think it is interesting

Even fusion of 2 Cyber Falcons too

And has effect

[nocturne sphinx]

mhmm!

[kind crown]

I guess Cydra fanbase is still big atm, even though it is not a Meta deck anymore after GX

[nocturne sphinx]

Mhmm!

I don't really play Rush myself since it's not supported in the West. I feel like Id actually buy paper cards again if it gets ported

I just think the cards look hella modern/nice

[forest vortex]

Every Anime Archetype has it's Fanbase
Looks at DM and BE

[nocturne sphinx]

I hope they come out with more knock-off yugi cards with underwhelming effects. Perfect for my GX~5Ds era fics

[forest vortex]

I want them to actually be good, thank you verry much

Not Meta but atleast viable

[nocturne sphinx]

Faair

[forest vortex]

Same for Bonez, Keith, etc.
Wish every Character would get retraons of their Shitty early Monsters instead of the Popular Kids

[kind crown]

I hope Cydra would get more support in the future. Maybe some kind of Pendulum that can insta-fusion, like Predaplant Bufo?

[forest vortex]

Harpies

[nocturne sphinx]

I want more support for.... 🤔 .... Master Monk 😤

And Ritual Doriado...actually I want support for basically every card in existence

[thorny chasm]

i'd mostly want retrains for the worst cards out there
like exodia necross for example

[nocturne sphinx]

yesss

[kind crown]

Or a retrain for Great Moth so that they can be summoned more easily

Just like the new GG

[nocturne sphinx]

YES

[forest vortex]

It got a Fusion monster retrain

[thorny chasm]

like, the card itself isn't even the biggest problem, it's the contract
needing all 5 pieces of exodia in your GY is fine
but needing TWO specific cards in your hand too? you're better off running a gambling deck

making it an extra deck monster would fix most of the problems with it
that way you'd only need the pieces in your GY
it'd still need buffs obviously, but atleast you can actually get it out

[nocturne sphinx]

Ah yes I remember that card

[forest vortex]

It' neat

Also makes the crappy Combo somewhat useful

[thorny chasm]

so it's a 2 card combo to get a raigeki with practically no protection
is there something i'm not seeing here?

[forest vortex]

It's Ultimate Great Moth but good

That's all

Also there needs to be a Field Spell on the Field to resolve the Raigeki

[thorny chasm]

exactly

[nocturne sphinx]

What would be the best way to add this eff to a rush card? "(This card is always treated as a "Phantom Beast" card.)"

[forest vortex]

Overall not a perfect Card but good enough to experiment with

[thorny chasm]

a 2 card combo, not counting the shit you need to bring it out (assuming no shenanigans)

[forest vortex]

Inzektors maybe

[storm pecan]

at the top surely

i mean it's not an effect it's a condition

[forest vortex]

Dunno if they get high Def

[thorny chasm]

tho it is a quick effect i suppose

[nocturne sphinx]

thx, it's just some cards have a "continous eff"

I'll show you cyber end

[kind crown]

Launcher Spider also another iconic but forgottable one

[storm pecan]

a name condition is a condition

[nocturne sphinx]

"Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" + "Berfomet"
(This card is always treated as a "Phantom Beast" card.)
[REQUIREMENT]
When this card is destroyed.
[EFFECT]
You can target 1 "Berfomet" or 1 "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target.

[forest vortex]

That one got a retrain too though and not a really bad one either since it works well with Desperado

[kind crown]

Also there is Machine King the OG Earth Machine

[kind crown]

Level 9 EARTH Machine/Fusion/Effect
ATK 3000/DEF 2000
"Machine King" + 1 or more Earth Machine monsters
When this card is fusion summoned, you can target up to 2  Earth Machine monsters in your deck, add them to your hand. This card gains 500 attack for every machine-type monsters on the field. Once per turn, when your opponent activate spell/trap or card effect, you can banish one machine monster in your hand or GY, negate the activation and destroy it. This card can attack up to number of fusion materials used.```

Hopefully this would amuse Ancient Gear players

[forest vortex]

Seems like we had the same Idea to make a Machine King heh

Deus Exe the Machine Lord

DARK/Machine/Fusion/Effect
3000 ATK/2000 DEF
1 Level 7 or higher DARK Machine monster + 1 DARK Machine monster 
Can only be Fusion Summoned.
You can destroy 1 card on the field, then add 1 Level 5 or higher DARK Machine monster from your Deck or GY to your hand. If your opponent activates a card effect that would make 1 or more DARK Machine monsters you control leave the field, destroy 1 DARK Machine monster in your hand or that you control, then negate the activation and destroy it. You can only activate each effect of "Deus Exe the Machine Lord" once per turn.

[kind crown]

Not to mention

Same stats

[forest vortex]

Oh yeah lol

Though mine is more for a Bandit Keith themed Deck overall

[kind crown]

Mine is probably geared up towards Crowler more

[forest vortex]

Most likely though I don't know if it's worth to run Machine King for it

Maybe just "Machine King" monsters?

Since there are 4 of them

[kind crown]

Maybe Machine King monstera

Since you can use more than 1 other monsters

Unfortunately Machine King can only be normal summoned, not special summoned. Otherwise he could be a great staple beater for most machine decks today

[forest vortex]

The Machine Kings Servant

Level 4/DARK/Machine/Effect
1650 ATK/ 1600 DEF
If this card is Normal Summoned, you can add 1 "Machine King" Card from your deck to your hand. If this card left the field by the effect of a "Machine King" card, you can Special Summon this card from your GY during your next Standby Phase. You can only use each effect of "The Machine King Servant" once per turn.

[honest bane]

Question: Hypothetically if there was a monster which has a field effect along the lines of: "If a monster you control is sent to the GY; do thing", Would it trigger if itself is the one being sent? Or only if a different card is?

[forest vortex]

Yes it would still trigger

[honest bane]

Ok great.

[forest vortex]

Unless you put "except (Card Name)." Behind it

[honest bane]

"Abeeator Soldier". Level 7 WIND Insect Synchro.
1 WIND Tuner + 1+ WIND non-tuners

If this card is summoned: You can discard 1 card, Target upto 2 cards on the field; Destroy them. If a WIND Monster(s) you control is sent to the GY: You can target one of those monster(s); Special summon 1 WIND Monster from your Deck with a lower original level. You cannot special summon monsters during the turn you activate this effect, except WIND monsters. You can only activate each effect of "Abeeator Soldier" once per turn.

How does this card seem? I might be changing its last effect a bit, But its the vague idea I want.

(oh I missed stats on it, about 2600/2000)

[lament bronze]

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon - Reaction Force
<4[Level 7/Dark/Dragon/Pendulum/Effect]4>
You can send 1 "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" from your Deck to the GY; destroy this card, and if you do, add 1 Pendulum Monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon - Reaction Force" once per turn. 
[Monster Effect]
If this card or "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" battles an opponent's Level 5 or higher monster, its ATK is doubled during the Damage Step only.
ATK 2500 / DEF 2000

[nocturne sphinx]

I may give Magicians of Bonds and Unity an errata. What do you think of this possible minor change?

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 25 or more cards in your GY. Gains 2500 ATK/DEF while your opponent has 25 or more cards in their GY.

If this card is sent to GY as a result of battle or card effect, special summon "Barrel Dragon" from your GY. ```

Once per turn, during your End Phase, pay 500 LP or destroy this card.```

[tulip kelp]

(odd-eyes pendulumgraph dragon)

[boreal tendon]

Tarotreith

[pure eagle]

literally an entire archetype about rituals that don't need a spell

[lament bronze]

totally not needed since it does not make the card any better. and erratas are saved for nerfs only anyway.

[pure eagle]

either nerfs or just updating text from pre PSCT

[uneven abyss]

amd sometimes changing names (slime toad, red-eyes black dragon)

[nocturne sphinx]

Not actually intended for Rush Duel--I just like the frame better.

[nocturne sphinx]

sorry, meant "fix-it". Just takes a lot to summon it and then it can't even be revived 💀

[nocturne sphinx]

On reflection, Insect Maiden was a little too searchable and searched too many Insect cards. So I nerfed it: I upped it's ATK & DEF to 1600 each, removing it from the following monsters' search abilities: Sangan, Witch of the Black Forest, Flying Kamakiri #1, and Howling Insect. Additionally, it now only searches the 3 cards it was custom-made to support: Insect Princess, Insect Garden, and Insect Pheromone (the latter 2 are anime-exclusives).

[pure eagle]

tbh it'd probably be fine searching "insect" cards
there's not a lot of super useful ones with insect in their name

[nocturne sphinx]

That's probably true 🤔

[tranquil mango]

Chainsaw insect

[nocturne sphinx]

yeshshs

[pure eagle]

the funny thing is I have an archetype I could absolutely make into illusionist monsters, if I wanted to go back and edit them

a bunch of light/dark pyro spirits that do synchro stuff and are all mirages

[nocturne sphinx]

Oooo

[dire leaf]

Welcome to Round 37 of the Custom Card Tournament!
Rules

1. There will be one Judge, usually the one who won the last contest.
2. Cards will be judged based on PSCT, Creativity, Balance, and perhaps other criteria which will be decided by the current Judge beforehand. PSCT is based on the latest available, usually Series 11.
3. You can usually only submit 1 card, or 1 series, or 1 archetype, depending on the nature of the competition. You can edit your submission before the deadline arrives as much as you want, but once it arrives you cannot change it.
4. You must make your card through some kind of card maker (Duelingbook, TCGEditor, YugiohCardMaker, etc.) and upload it as an imgur image. Cards will be presented at the end with the creator's name and their score in a final ranking.
5. The winner of each round will have an opportunity to judge the next round and/or choose the next contest theme. If they do not wish to be the next Judge, they can either let the next in line have the opportunity to be a judge and pick the theme or they can pick a theme and let one of the Assistants act as the Judge over the theme.
6. You cannot ask the current Judge for the round to help you with your card. If asking for feedback in the custom card channel, try to make it clear that it's for the competition.

This week's theme is Retrain to a different Archetype, more specifically, A retrain of an Archetypal monster into a different Archetype. They can be part of the Archetype by name and/or text. Try to keep a similar vibe as the original but don't just swap out X archetype name in the text to Y etc. Examples include True King Agnimazud the Vanisher to Metalfoes Vanisher, El Shaddoll Apkallone to Gishki Neremanas, Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior to Longirsu the Orcust Orchestrator

The Criteria this time around is same as usual with PSCT, Creativity, and Balance scored out of 10.
Your card is due 1 week from now, at March 28th, 11:59 PM Pacific Time (UTC+0 March 29th 6:59 AM) - <t:1682751540:f>.
Submission ends in <t:1682751540:R>

[jovial shale]

🤔

[wind granite]

Now this is interesting

[boreal tendon]

Can i put cat ears on albaz and call him part of the tribrigade?

[strange obsidian]

turb d.d. warrior lady into the knight breaking into lady labs castle

[pure eagle]

Interesting

[pallid spindle]

Is this because Chimera got a retrain?

[forest vortex]

Would this count or not since Neos is a Normal Monster?

[nocturne sphinx]

I don't think so, since the card itself is an Effect Monster, even with the name condition, it can't be a Normal Monster.

[fathom dock]

just submitted to the contest. anyone wanna see?

[nocturne sphinx]

Sure!

[kind crown]

I wanted to

[fathom dock]

retrain of Arianna the Labrynth servant into traptrix

[quick turret]

personally I'd say Hero is cheating

since the entire lineup, regardless of branch, has functional synergy

namely, "HERO" is used to refer to all Hero cards as a group in a few cards

[Cross Crusader]

[viral tapir]

Xtra HERO Cross Crusader

Rating: Link-2 (↙↘)
[ Warrior / Link / Effect ]

ATK 1600

Effect

2 Warrior monsters
If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 "Destiny HERO" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. You can Tribute 1 "Destiny HERO" monster; add 1 "HERO" monster with a different name from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Xtra HERO Cross Crusader" once per turn, also you cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate either of this card's effects, except "HERO" monsters.

used StarryAI for that. AI art managed to NOT fuck up the hands this time

[tulip kelp]

[fathom dock]

just realized that it has no detach effect on it...oops

[kind crown]

May I use an original DM monster into a modern archetype?

[fathom dock]

is it from an archetype itself?

[kind crown]

I mean from Achetype-less into Archetype

[thorny chasm]

she's not flat enough

[kind crown]

Like from Metal Dragon to Cyber Dragon variant

[tulip kelp]

the contest post clarifies that it has to already be an archetypal monster

[kind crown]

With same stats

[tulip kelp]

more specifically, *A retrain of an Archetypal monster into a different Archetype. *

[fathom dock]

out of the 12 images I got, that was the flattest iirc

[thorny chasm]

you didn't use "child" as a prompt?

that should do the trick, unless the ai is off the rails

[fathom dock]

well Arianna isn't exactly a child

[thorny chasm]

bro wants a traptrix woman 💀

[boreal tendon]

Uhhhh

[fathom dock]

no, I am using the basis of one card and retraining it into another archetype

[Arianna]

[viral tapir]

Arianna the Labrynth Servant

Level: 4
[ Fiend / Effect ]

ATK 1600 / DEF 2100

Effect

If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Labrynth" card from your Deck to your hand, except "Arianna the Labrynth Servant". If another monster(s) leaves the field by your Normal Trap effect (except during the Damage Step): You can draw 1 card, then you can apply this effect.
●From your hand, either Special Summon 1 Fiend monster, or Set 1 Spell/Trap.
You can only use 1 "Arianna the Labrynth Servant" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

she isn't a child

a teen probably, but not a child

[thorny chasm]

i know

@fathom dock @thorny chasm where is this convo going

[thorny chasm]

idk, it ended

[tulip kelp]

they were talking about how to generate a fitting image using an ai anyhow

i dont think it was going anywhere besides that

[quick turret]

[kind crown]

Hello guys

Is this okay?

I am not confident enough

[sudden palm]

contest pog

[kind crown]

Pog?

Idk how it feels to transfrom a Red Eyes into Albaz

First it is my first time joining

[thorny chasm]

it being archetype to archetype stumped me but i got this idea to support my boy

Level 8 FIRE [Fiend/Effect]
This card's name is always treated as "Helios - The Primodial Sun"
This card gains ATK/DEF equal to the number of banished monsters X 800```
currently trying to brainstorm ways for it to be summonable as a level 4 monster with maju's effect instead

perhaps a "if normal summoned (A), if special summoned (B)"
perhaps a "you can normal summon this as a level 4 and it gains this effect instead"
i'm not sure what the best route here is

and i'm not entirely sure if X 800 is balanced, my reasoning for it is that a maju deck usually won't have more than 50%ish monsters in it
so the bonus being double should be fine, even with eater giving it extra firepower

[sudden palm]

should the archetypes be related in some way, or would it be fine to do basically anything as long as it fits somehow

[dire leaf]

It can go into any archetype.

[dire leaf]

It doesn't count because it's still a HERO card. Same archetype. And going from normal to Effect doesn't really work since all that links the two is the art, the effs should be somewhat related/same vibe or utility etc.

[forest vortex]

aight

[dire leaf]

Same with this. It's just a Albaz Dragon in functionality. Also, it shouldn't be a Red-Eyes anymore. And same issue of Normal to Eff means no related/similar effs.

[thorny chasm]

i have absolutely no idea how i could represent this with ai so i'm not even gonna try 💀
Maju > Helios
this would solve the main issue i've had playing maju decks, not drawing maju
not only would it essentially double the chances of drawing him, but holy shit, macro cosmos's first effect would actually exist for once

do tell me if there's something i'm missing, knowing me i probably fucked up somewhere

[forest vortex]

Are they even considered a Archetype?

[boreal tendon]

No

They're a series

[thorny chasm]

wait really?
the hell's the difference??

[boreal tendon]

An archetype needs to have a least 1 card that mentions them

For example, synchron is an archetype because [tuning] exists

[viral tapir]

Tuning

Effect

Add 1 "Synchron" Tuner from your Deck to your hand, then send the top card of your Deck to the GY.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[boreal tendon]

Dragon rulers are not an archetype because there's no card that has "dragon ruler" in their text that doesnt refer to a single card

[thorny chasm]

: |
i'll just wait for the next contest i guess

my ass does not know enough archetypes to cook here

[forest vortex]

You could just use the Yugioh Database

[thorny chasm]

"know" as in know what they're about

i lack hella experience

[forest vortex]

Well in that case

[jovial shale]

[Flamvell Firedog]

Laval Heathound FIRE/Pyro/Effect/1900 ATK/200 DEF/Level 4

Would this see play in edison?

[pure eagle]

Galaxy-Eyes Wind-Up Dragon

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 2 “Wind-Up” monsters.

No I don’t know if it will trigger other wind-ups

But it was an idea I had

It’ll at least reset wind-ups

[storm pecan]

Level 3, 1100/700, WIND, Thunder
You can only use the 1) and 2) effects of cards with this name once per turn.
1) If you control a "Gusto" card, you can target 1 card you control; destroy it, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand or GY, but you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of the turn, except WIND monsters.

no idea what i'm doing

I can see the Card Art floating in my Mind

[dense matrix]

Hey does anyone know why edwin was banned?

they said the last place they posted was this chat and general.

[dire leaf]

You are better off asking a mod in #non_yugioh_chat or thru @tropic osprey.

[forest vortex]

I don't think I even know who that is

[forest vortex]

How about this as a Ancient Gear Chaos Giant?

Super Heavy Samurai Ni-ō
Level 10/EARTH/Machine/Fusion/Effect
3000 ATK/4500 DEF
4 "Super Heavy Samurai" Synchro monsters
You can also Fusion Summon this card by banishing the requiered Material from your GY. Can only be Fusion Summoned. If this card is Fusion Summoned, all monsters your opponent controls change in to face-up Attack Position. This card can attack while in face-up Defense Position. If it does, apply its DEF for damage calculation. Unaffected by your opponent's Spell/Trap effects. All monsters your opponent controls must attack this card, if able.

Maybe a bit too lame

[ember drift]

Marincess Sea Leo
WATER/Cyberse/Link/Effect
2300ATK/Link-3 (TC, BL, BR)
2+ WATER Effect Monsters
If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 "Marincess" monster in your GY; equip it to this card. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if this card was Link Summoned using "Marincess Crystal Heart" as material: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field and 1 "Marincess" monster card in the Spell/Trap Zone; the first target loses ATK equal to the ATK of the other target, until the end of this turn.

[fathom dock]

look, I didn't want to have the convo anyway. not a big fan of speaking about how flat to make an AI generated image to make it look like a child to fit on a card

[sacred parrot]

Continuous Trap
If you control "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", you can activate this card from your hand. While you control "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames", your opponent takes any effect damage you would have taken instead. If "Uria, Lord of Searing Flames" you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can send this face-up card to the GY instead.```

[sacred parrot]

Field Spell
This card gains these effects based on the Monster Types on the field.
● Wyrm, Warrior, Plant, or Pyro: Once per turn, if your opponent controls a Fusion Monster: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your GY, but its effects are negated.
● Zombie, Dragon, Machine, or Thunder: Once per turn, if your opponent controls a Synchro Monster: You can negate the effect of 1 face-up card your opponent controls.
● Winged Beast, Spellcaster, Beast, or Fiend: Once per turn, if your opponent controls an Xyz Monster: You can add 1 "Polymerization" Normal Spell or 1 "Fusion" Normal Spell from your GY to your hand.```

[exotic hound]

Graydle Frog
WATER/Aqua/Link/Effect
500 ATK/ Link-1 (BC)
1 level 3 or lower Aqua monster
If this card is targeted by the effect of a monster your opponent controls, you can negate that effect; and if you do, equip this card to that monster. While this card is equipped to a monster by this effect, take control of that monster. When this card leaves the field, add 1 "graydle" or "frog" monster from your gy to your hand. You cannot special summon monsters except Aqua monsters the turn this card is summoned.

Did I word this okay? I'm open 2 critique :3

[ember drift]

not sure about wording but like the concept

[nocturne sphinx]

Converting Rush cards to Master Duel format, but reading the PSCT guide still has my head spinning. Can anyone tell me if the following two cards are off?

Valkyrian Call
Normal Spell
Special Summon 1 Level 4 Spellcaster Type monster from your Graveyard face-up to your field; then, you can make 1 face-up "Magician's Valkyria" on your field gain 1000 ATK until the end of your opponent's next turn.

Valkyrian Guard
Normal Trap
When your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster: Special Summon 1 Level 4 Spellcaster Type monster from your Graveyard to your field in face-up Attack Position; then, you can change up to 3 Attack Position monsters on your field to face-up Defense Position, including "Magician's Valkyria". This turn, while the monsters changed to Defense Position by this effect are in face-up Defense Position, they cannot be destroyed by battle.

[boreal tendon]

@tulip kelp valk call doesn't reborn for cost in rush, right?

[tulip kelp]

no

[nocturne sphinx]

What do you mean

[tulip kelp]

anything before a semicolon (;) is cost, which means its done on activation before anyone can respond

[boreal tendon]

The text before the semi colon is essentially the requirement box in rush

[tulip kelp]

special summoning should never be before a colon or semicolon

[boreal tendon]

Yea

[nocturne sphinx]

Ah, I see

So I just need to remove the colons

[tulip kelp]

yeah
except on guard, the colon after "when your opponent normal or special summons a monster:" is fine

but the remove the 2 semicolons yeah

[nocturne sphinx]

Ah okie

Thank you

[nocturne sphinx]

The contest theme this time around is pretty confusing

The way it's worded, I'm imagining they wish for things that have a similar effect to the original card being ported over to a different series?

[storm pecan]

take a monster and make it join a different archetype

[tranquil mango]

I think the theme is great

gives you lots of design space

[sacred parrot]

Level 5 EARTH Reptile/Effect
ATK 0/DEF 2500

[forest vortex]

Found this on a Yugioh Cards made by AI Channel on Twitter

Kaiba.mp4

[nocturne sphinx]

Bruh lmao

Instant +2

[storm pecan]

that's a very fine card

could exist

[fathom pivot]

does sound like a bullshit old yugioh card

[thorny chasm]

wait so, if you don't have anything in your GY it would be unusable no? since it isn't "up to"

[forest vortex]

Yep

Needs 1 in your Deck 1 in hand and 1 in GY

[thorny chasm]

if you draw 2 of said monster it's a brick, if 2 of them enter the GY it's a brick
etc
i think it's situational enough to where people probably wouldn't even use it
but aside from that, are there even any super good decks that can actually take advantage of it?

[forest vortex]

BE or RE mabey

[long spruce]

Ah yes

Very toony

[forest vortex]

Better?

[long spruce]

Very much so

Ok so

You can equip spells and traps to that

To make it a valuable choice you can say that while they're equipped their effects are negated

Also

What if it equips 2 monsters?

How would the ATK/DEF work?

Needs more text for that

Other than that, funny card

Mango/10

[forest vortex]

I thought they would stack

[long spruce]

Not worded like this

[forest vortex]

Fugg

[long spruce]

"This card's ATK/DEF becomes equal to the sum of the equipped monster's ATK/DEF"

I think

[forest vortex]

I see

[long spruce]

Oh btw

As it's worded rn

You can just uhm

Not attach a monster

And crash into your opponent beater

As long as you have more LP :)

[forest vortex]

I know

[long spruce]

oh no

[forest vortex]

I will also give it more restrictions so it can't be abused by other stuff except toons

[long spruce]

Tbh

The way to do so would simply be that to attack you must discard a toon card from hand

[forest vortex]

I meant more so that it can only be summoned by it's own cards

Also it will only gain ATK

1 "Toon" monster + 1 monster with "Eyes Restrict" or "Relinquished" in it's card text
Can only be summoned with the effect of a card that has "Eyes Restrict" in it's card text. Once per turn (quick effect): You can target 1 card your opponent controls; equip that target to this card (max. 2). This card's ATK become equal to the compined ATK of the equipped monsters. If this card would be destroyed, destroy 1 equipped card instead. While equipped with a card, any battle damage you take from battles involving this card inflicts equal damage to your opponent. Can  You can only control 1 "Toon Eyes Restrict".

[long spruce]

Shouldn't it be "Must be summoned by the effect"?

Also it's "combined"

I would have still added the effect on equipped non-monster cards but sure

[forest vortex]

I think both works the same

[long spruce]

Eh, less wording

[sacred parrot]

Normal Trap
If you have "Venom Swamp" in your Field Zone, you may activate this card from your hand. If you control a "Venom" monster(s) and/or 1 monster(s) that mentioned "Venom Swamp"; until the end of this turn, negate the effect of all monsters your opponent controls with Venom Counters on it, also they cannot attack this turn. You can only activate 1 "Venom Paralysis" per turn.```

@fading lintel how does this affect the paleo stock market?

[forest vortex]

It shouldn't
Still needs 3 Frogs and should not be able to get cheated out by Bahamut

Paleos in that case would just work in their own stuff and to summon Toadally/Rank 2s

[long spruce]

jeez how many conjunctions for a single effect

[mental snow]

As many as necessaryyyyy

[long spruce]

btw

@mental snow

[honest bane]

Hypothetically, Is it possible for an ED monster to have it's summoning condition while in the GY?
(Say I wanted extradeck support for Dogmatika, which "You cannot special summon from the Extradeck", and making it contact fuse itself from the GY for example)

Or does rulings simply say it's impossible?

[forest vortex]

You could just make it a Special Summon

[honest bane]

Can't really special summon ED monsters unless summoned properly.

Even ones which can summon themselves from the GY need to be summoned properly first.

Can't simply be milled off

[forest vortex]

Yes you can...if it doesn't stand there specificly "must first be fusion summoned" you can

Same as [Necrofear]

[viral tapir]

Dark Necrofear

Effect

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by a card effect. You can target 3 of your banished Fiend monsters; Special Summon this card from your hand, and if you do, shuffle those banished monsters into the Deck. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was destroyed in your Monster Zone by an opponent's card and sent there this turn: Special Summon this card from your GY, then, you can destroy cards your opponent controls, up to the number of face-up Spells/Traps you control with different names. You can only use each effect of "Curse Necrofear" once per turn.

F/L Status: Unlimited (TCG/OCG)

[honest bane]

That's not an ED type

ED cards can't normally be MonsterReborned if you cheat or yeet them

[forest vortex]

As much as I know you can

Nvm just reread that one
They can't

Could have sworn they can though

[honest bane]

Yeah no, rulings confirned with Shenshen CANNOT resummon itself it it got cheated or yeeted

[tranquil mango]

The answer you got in r&p also applies to curse necrofear

[forest vortex]

Nope can summon it from the GY in MD

[tranquil mango]

Even if you ignore summonning conditions you cannot improperly summon curse necrofear from the gy or banished unless is was properly special summoned first

[forest vortex]

Did that often enough

[tranquil mango]

Well

[honest bane]

Curse just says "myst be summoned by card effect", not it's own

[tranquil mango]

Ig curse necrofear is a weird case

[quick turret]

"must first be special summoned" applies to ANY mon that has an alternative listed method of summoning and disallows it from being summoned in other ways

[tranquil mango]

Because summoning it properly is just by any card effect

But as alphonse said its still a special summon monster

[quick turret]

the difference with extra deck mons is there is always an implied paragraph of text telling you how to summon them

"must be special summoned from the extra deck by sending 2 monsters(1 tuner and 1 non tuner) to the GY, whose total combined levels equal (insert synchro level here)"

[tranquil mango]

The base rule which is important to know is that all monsters which cannot be normal summoned/set are "special summon monster" which have their own summoning procedures

And they must be properly summoned once to be able to be improperly summoned from banished/gy

[quick turret]

same with Rits until they shortned it to make room for more text

[tranquil mango]

Curse necrofear just happens to have a very broad summoning procedure

If this card is destroyed by the effect of a "Scrap" card: You can add 1 "Scrap" Spell/Trap from your deck to your hand.

[long spruce]

this is for a custom card i'm making. What i want to happen:

• choose card
• attach card to xyz
• banish the card's original name from each player's deck

Will this work?

● Choose a card on the field: its name becomes "Transmuted Dracopride" while on the field or in the GY.
● Attach 1 "Dracopride" card on the field to this card as material; banish 1 copy from each player's Deck.

[pure eagle]

it can apply to on the field just fine but I don't think there's precedent for permanently changing a cards name

[long spruce]

yea yea, it now says on the field and in GY

but like

the question is if it will proc properly

because what i suppose will happen is that the card will change it's name when it becomes a material

and THEN the rest of the effect will proc

so banish 1 copy of the original name

[pure eagle]

it'll have to be "banish 1 card with the same name as the attached monster on the field" or something like that

or 1 card with the original name but the rest stays the same

[long spruce]

[tulip kelp]

it's a 1000/1000 and it wipes your own board on normal summon?

Target 1 link monster you control; increase that monster's link rating by 1 and add a link arrow on any un-point arrows of your choice.

Any thoughts?

Fair or broken?

I don't even know if this can work

[tranquil mango]

Unprecedented sure

But i dont see any particular problem

Maybe extra link shenannigans, but unsearchable so

feels like this is the kinda card that would be pack filler and only used in jank edo replays to u link

By virtue of taking any single effect monster

needs a restriction

turning any 1 mon into 2 mats for free with no downside is kinda absurd

normal summon monster

and that's just the most braindead "combo" you can do

it actually has a hopt

deck out the opponent after they use maxx "c"

You might wanna negate the effects of the summoned monster atleast
Don't know what shenanigens it could spawn with such a wide search range

[sacred parrot]

if it were in the anime, it would support "Elf" archetype, which is ashame sadly

[honest bane]

Hm, How would I make 2 archetypes work together well? Because I got 2 archetypes I'm making, But cant figure out how to partially combine them.

[thorny chasm]

i mean, a simple way is to have the cost of one benefit the other
stromberg and maju is a good example (even tho maju isn't an archetype, the idea still applies)

[honest bane]

Hm Ok,
I'll probably try to do something cool with that.
some funny Discard synergy, Since the ideas I have for both need to discard cards,

[thorny chasm]

that works

another in the long list of graceful charity support

[honest bane]

kekw,

Also, is it wierd to have shared fieldspells which work with 2 or more archetypes (But archetype(s) specific)?

[thorny chasm]

can't think of any
but it's not really a problem

(Continuous trap. Thoughts?)

[forest vortex]

No Idea what Solarshade is so can't judge it

[honest bane]

TL:DR. Think of something like a hybrid between True Draco & Salamangreats

Linkspam, Spell/trap popping, And some controlling

[forest vortex]

Don't know anything about Dracos and only know the Salads from DL so I can't possibly Judge sorry

[honest bane]

well its basically just pop da spelltrap cards. and use a few linkmonsters

[storm pecan]

that sounds like just salamangreat

[honest bane]

Salamangreat but they want to explode the spelltraps. Like its an active benefit

[storm pecan]

oh got it

salad but your cont s/ts float

Yeah to some extent.

Not FireCyberse tho, Light/Dark Beastwarriors

[copper dock]

Good, bad, or broken?

[tranquil mango]

Why would anyone invest 8 material for this

Your opponent can just use the outside two zones

Ig it takes up 3

So probably broken?

Dark xyz monsters, all monsters actually, can already attack all monsters your opponent controls

[mental snow]

Oh, I forgot the once each

[tranquil mango]

Hehe

[dire leaf]

Contest submissions end in 2~ish days.

[copper dock]

And locks out all back row it points to, and if you move it to their middle main zone, locks out 2 neighbors and both extra zones

[tranquil mango]

Seems like a somewhat unfun floodgate

[copper dock]

That playing hot potato with via the banish effect

[tranquil mango]

How is your opponent ever going to give it back to you

[copper dock]

If they have Link monsters in their graveyard to banish as cost, they can give it back

[tranquil mango]

How will they get any link monsters in the gy

[copper dock]

Extra foolish burial, or preemptively have stuff in grave already

[tranquil mango]

Zero decks play extra foolish

And nobody would summon this past turn 1

Also extra foolish only sends 1 card

So even if people were on it thats still

This is a pseudo ftk card, which is fine if thats what you intended

But i get the feeling its not

This is like turbo kash

[copper dock]

I intended it on a floodgate that you hand opponent and make them pay a hefty cost to play hot potato

Banishing anything out of grave is a hefty cost in most decks, and have to banish specifically Links who equal 8 to give it to opponent

[tranquil mango]

Decks would make this turn 1, give it to the opponent in mz3 and then pass

And now your opponent has 2 st zones to use, 2 m zones to use, and cannot link summon

If you want it to be balanced you need to make sure it cant just instantly shut off link summoning for the opponent

[copper dock]

I honestly only thought of balancing it by making it not immune to effect removal

[pure eagle]

man idk what I want to submit
I've done a few ideas but nothing solid

[true yoke]

Made a first draft for an idea I had for an archetype of Normal Pendulum monsters meant to support Geminis while being able to benefit from Normal Monster support themselves. The archetype on its own revolves around getting out its big bosses which have a unique form of removal that slowly locks down the opponent's backrow. I think they might be a bit too good at turboing out their big Links, but they at least have to put some effort into getting their effects off, since they're Geminis themselves

Card based on my dog

[storm pecan]

she's great

[thorny chasm]

shouldn't it be a beast-warrior type?

or is it one of those "my name is warrior and i'm a sea serpent" cases

[serene grail]

I made this

[forest vortex]

Trying to connect Cards with Skull Servant on them with the Archetype

[nimble iron]

If i make custom cards for an anime deck, how broken am i allowed to make them before people say no?

[forest vortex]

Wdym exactly?
A card that only gets used in a Anime or a card that is for the real life card game?

[nimble iron]

lets say i want to make cards for idk, hydradrives

can i just print the most busted effects on them or no?

[forest vortex]

I have no Idea what those are
Is that a Anime only Deck?

[nimble iron]

yeah anime only

this is too busted right?

(is field spell)

[forest vortex]

In that case I guess you can make it as busted as you want since they are not even printed I guess

[thorny chasm]

it's a custom card
there aren't any rules

if you want to make them less broken that's just a choice you have 🤷‍♂️

[fathom pivot]

i still don’t know how to create my own archetype

idea machine broke

[pure eagle]

you can go two routes

either you start with the flavor/theme, and build from there, or you start from the mechanical side of things and start from there

I usually do the former personally

There's a third one
Start with the payout, then make the deck support getting to said payout

[pure eagle]

true

[nimble iron]

So for me: I like looking at what I want to achieve, then put in an advantage generation engine, some consistency, then I go back and flavor the cards to the theme

[pure eagle]

that's probably the best way to do it
but I always love designing flavor first

Too good?

[fathom pivot]

do all of that in a single turn does seem a bit much

[forest vortex]

Maybe if it's 1 effect pro turn?

Like he can't use the second one in the same turn he was summoned

Dragon Absorbing Jar
2* / DARK
Illusion / Effect
Cannot attack. Monsters cannot be destroyed by battles involving this card, also neither player takes any battle damage from those battles. Your opponent's Dragon monsters must attack if able. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card battled a Dragon monster: Banish that Dragon monster, face-down.
ATK 100 / DEF 200

based on the bandai version of dragon capture jar, which was a monster and had stats, and it was illusion type

Dragon Absorption Piper
2* / DARK
Illusion / Effect
If this card is Normal or Flip Summoned: You can look at your opponent's face-down banished cards, choose 1 Dragon monster among them, and Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions, but its effects are negated and it must attack, if able. Monsters cannot be destroyed by battles involving this card.
ATK 200 / DEF 400

also based on the bandai version of this card, and designed to synergise with the above. also it's dark because in the manga it was a valid crush card target

Mega Man Exe
LIGHT/Cyberse/Link/Effect
500ATK/Center Down
1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster
Must be Link Summoned to the Extra Monster Zone. You can add 1 "Battle Chip" card from your Deck to your hand. You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; it loses 1000 ATK, and if its ATK becomes 0 by this effect, destroy it.

[sacred rain]

not that i know anything about how to balance yugioh cards, but i feel like there needs to be a "when you special summon this" or a once per turn clause on the search for a battle chip ability. and/or hard/soft once per turn on the attack reduction effect.

[ember drift]

oh forgot the HoPT clause

I guess I shared this too soon

[sacred rain]

it happens

---

pot of impulsiveness
normal spell
Draw 1 card and reveal it until the end of this turn. Banish that card at end of turn.
You can only activate one ~ per turn.

Not sure if i worded this properly for the effect. the intent is that you have a card for a short period of time and need to use it now. Probably good in deep draw style decks, but i'm not sure if anyone else (outside of skystrikers? maybe?) would want to use it.

Not sure if the restriction on activation is enough, or if it needs a higher cost.

[thorny chasm]

literally just another upstart for exodia

also isn't really a pot card if just draws 1 card tbh

Spell/Quick-Play
Target 1 face-up "Constellar" or "tellarknight" Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Constellar" or "tellarknight" monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster you control, by using it as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer its materials to the Summoned monster.) If a "Constellar" or "tellarknight" Xyz Monster you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 "Constellar" or "tellarknight" monster in your GY; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Constellar" or "tellarknight" monster whose Rank is equal to the target's Level/Rank, and if you do, attach that target to it as Xyz Material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use this effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Constellar Stellarknights Rising" once per turn.```

This could save a lot of text by just counting “tellar”

But otherwise seems fine

[lament bronze]

it's why too late to make "Shark" an archetype. just say Level, 3, 4 or 5 Fish

[thorny chasm]

ah yes, -1 that gives your opponent resources which needs setup to even work

[copper dock]

I did not make these. I simply found them and ask if they would be good additions to the real archetype

[pure eagle]

The link is good, the level 12 you’d only run for using it as a ritual spell

[copper dock]

Just lore wise, any additions have to have the proper religious references. Megaliths based on group of angels called Olympian Spirits, and it is said the angel Turiel helped man write Arbatel De Magia Veterum, a book containing rituals to contact the Olympian Spirits
