How to Rate a New Custom Card


Raizer

Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what everyone's standard in rating someone's stuff is. Like what goes into the whole 0-10/10 rating. Why not 0-5/5 or something. But anyway how about a rating scheme? Haha, kinda like a teacher grading your tests. Like this 0-10/10 scheme I will start using:

 

01 - Is the card rarity relevant to overall standard of the card and card art rarity enhanced (if applicable)?

02 - Is the card name relevant to the card art?

03 - Is the card name relevant to the card's effects and/or overall look?

04 - Is the card valid in relevance to selected layout or in terms of new creation? (Current or new Type, Attribute, card color, etc.)

05 - Is the card's art choice in good quality and fitted correctly?

06 - Is the card edition proper? (IE: 1st EDITION, LIMITED EDITION, etc.)

07 - Is the card set number proper? (IE: MFC-001, SAOD-EN001, LE5-ENSE1, etc.)

08 - Is the card's description, costs, requirements, and/or effects proper and reasonable/balanced in OCG?

09 - Is the card's ATK and DEF reasonable?

10 - Does the card have a proper card number, "Replica", or "This card cannot be used in a duel."?

why would you need to know about other people's grading scale,it is usually in their sig or you should probably know by how they rate a few cards.

01 - Is the card rarity relevant to overall standard of the card and card art rarity enhanced (if applicable)?

06 - Is the card edition proper? (IE: 1st EDITION' date=' LIMITED EDITION, etc.)

07 - Is the card set number proper? (IE: MFC-001, SAOD-EN001, LE5-ENSE1, etc.)

10 - Does the card have a proper card number, "Replica", or "This card cannot be used in a duel."?

1.you shouldn't judge a card by how much rarity effects they have,they could make a powerful but not OPed card that fits secret rare status and throw in a lot of effects to make it look good and it would get a better score,some people can't even do such effects.

 

6.the card maker can't properly make the 1st edition as it appears on the card,limited edition would also require the sticker to be changed into gold then it all comes back into rarity effects,just because they can't properly make the words and such doesn't mean a point should be deducted.

 

7.most people don't care about the set number and shouldn't have points deducted from a set just because of it

 

10.most people make things like "horrible card raters give low ratings to cards with a unrealistic card numbers",and this is what you are trying to do,you shouldn't deduct points because they didn't make a proper number with the correct amount of digits or made it into a pattern like "13371337' rather than having something that looks like ones on a real one

 

if i were a card rater those are the problems i have with your system,but it is yours afterall so my opinion shouldn't decide it for you

1.) I know this, hence why my secret rares don't have the pics as a secret holo. You can tell just by the text. Also why "(If Applicable)" was added. It's not just for commons, rares, and super rares. But as I told X-31, it's mainly for serious card makers out there trying to make it tip-top.

 

6.) This was a given as it's set up for all caps instead of how you type it in. Which should be an easy fix. The gold/silver emblem would take a while to integrate into the card maker, so I tend to excuse that. This is mainly for people who make up stuff like "LIMITED" or some crap that's nonlegit.

 

7.) Well yea, but it doesn't take much to make up something. (Like so: XDFZ-EN000, JHG3-172, DFJI-SE006, etc.) It's just like the card number, make up something random but make it look somewhat legit.

 

10.) Again, just hit random, who cares what number. It's when you add some crap like 86H3F856, PUNKcard8, etc. No letters or stupid words. Easy points right here basically. Who cares if the number has repitition or something, look at some of mine. It takes a split second to click on random.

 

Like I said, I only get deeply into rating it if they want it to be as real as possible. Otherwise, I'll rate it based on the card's effect and what-not for creativity.

I use an extremely harsh Fire Emblem final stats system. A perfect score is a 28; however, I have yet to give out anything above 22 (which is slower than a Great Knight... -.-).

 

OCG: STR; arguably the most important stat.

Playability: SKL; arguably the most important stat.

Originality (Realistic)/Effect-Origin Translation (Pop Culture): SPD; important, but can be balanced by other areas.

Rulings: DEF; important, but can be balanced by other areas.

Cosmetics: MDf; not very important at all, but a high score is worthy. Rated out of 20 instead of 30, and is even more harsh than the others.

 

Your Rule 7 is win; however, I see no playability score, and I also note that 90% of your grade is in cosmetics. Fix nao pl0x.

People mostly have a choice of their own desire to rate people's cards. Most people will rate it generally, resulting in "Bad desired rating" (BDR) as in a 10.10 when a person really desires critisism. Your way of rating sounds extremely good, and should set an example to people in how to rate someone elses cards. The way I rate is art, effect, balanced, relevance, and originality.

 

You can suggest such a thing where people can give a noticable object (Waffles in this matter :P) in a grade of 1 to 5 or however you desire.

The rating scheme in the first post is terrible. The only way it rates balance at all is in #9, so a card could be a simple Level 4 monster whose effect reads "When this card is Normal Summoned, you win the match" and still receive a 10/10 as long as it didn't have 3000 ATK and DEF.

That's where #8 comes in for reasonable effects. Although I did forget to mention that. *Edit*

03 - Is the card name relevant to the card's effects and/or overall look?

 

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon has a pic of a darkness-metal like version of REBD

picture,name,attribute,and type alone doesn't look like a card that can be special summoned by removing from play 1 dragon type on your field and has a once per turn summoning effect

 

and just make a card that has a lot of good rarity effect,a name that matches with the pic,good pic,right edition,right card number,right set number,matching attribute and stuff

and a effect that says "When this card is Summoned you win the duel. If this card is played in Japan,this effect is negated." (OCG=Jap. YGO)

it is perfectly balanced in the OCG

with 0 ATK/0 DEF with such a devastating effect

 

now THAT is a 9/10 or 10/10 card with this scale
