The YCM Academy - CLOSED

I'd like to help you teach Azmania. Got a job for me?

 

About that card, it seems a little underpowered. 1700/1400 isn't enough for a level 5, and the effect doesn't help much. It would seem like a waste to tribute for this card, then tribute it again for LP damage. For me, if you are going to tribute a monster, it should be for 500 LP damage. You are getting rid of 2 monsters for 800. I don't think it is enough.

 

The pic and the title are okay. I think you would need to change either the effect, the level, or the attack and/or defense for it to be a little better.

parkourmania - Check the lesson! Pay attention!

Frogger - I'll see you a job. And leave the correct OCG to me and card testing to me.

the-champion-1 - Same thing goes to you. Your job isn't to teach kids abput OCG. That's my job.

beguinboo - Yes, you should join.

 

Sorry I am being stroppy, but I don't want people doing my job. I appreciate you helping, but don't do my job for me. It defeats the purpose of me opening the academy.

 

New lessons start tommorow.

LESSON 3

11/06/2007

Topic: Proper Card Making

 

Finally, we have approached our long awaited topic - Proper Card Making.

There will be a lot to this lesson, so make sure you read this stuff carefully.

There are many aspects to Card Making. But we'll start with:

 

Card Name - This is quite simple. Although, it's never a good idea to give it a long name like, The Dragon of Ultimato Super Destruction. Call it, Ultimate Dragon Destructo, instead. Make sure you type ''Ultimate Dragon Destructo'' with right grammar instead of ''ULTIMATE DRAGON DESTRUICTO''. Always check your name makes sense.

 

Card Type/Effect - No comment, unless you have a question.

 

Attribute - Make sure the card attribute makes sense with it's name. For example, you call it ''Dark Dragon'' but make it a Light Attribute. (Unless it's a chaos card)

 

Level - Don't give ridiculous levels, make sure they make sense with the ATK/DEF. Don't have 4000 ATK but 4 stars. Make it 4000 ATK with 10 Stars or something.

 

Trap/Magic Type - Look out that the type is right. You don't want the effect of a field spell on an equip card.

 

Card Rarity - Make sure it fits the card. Don't have a card with a terrible effect, then make it Ultra Rare. It's silly. Here's a tip: Make your good cards Rare only; the picture comes out sharper and clearer.

 

Picture URL - It's a good idea that the picture fits. Don't have it humongous and have a terrible pic. If you find a good pic, but it's too big, use Paint or Adobe to crop unneeded crap out. If you can't do that, ask me, and I can help you. If it's a picture URL, make sure it's small enough. Top Tip: Keep pics that are edited in a folder.

 

Circulation: LIMITED EDITON or nothing at all. 1st Edition doesn't come out the way you want it.

 

Set ID: Make the first box a name of a pack, such as ROTA (Revenge of the Angel) and the second box with EN??? (? = Number). Go up as 001, 010, 100 etc.

 

Type: Choose a real type unless you made your own. Don't, I repeat, DON'T go asking how to do Gemini or Union. There's no option. Ask me to edit it. Remember grammar: Insect not inSect.

 

Description: *sigh* This is the big one. Now, there are so many different effect styles, that I will do a lesson on only that next lesson.

 

ATK/DEF: In line with your card stars.

 

Creator: KAZUKI TAKAHASHI or some other name. NO NUMBERS OR THINGS LIKE - ?)"£@: and stuff. Do WILL ROBINSON, not Will Robiemdson.

 

Year: I suggest 1996 upwards or 2007/2008.

 

Serial Number. No comment, unless you have a question.

 

That is the basics of Card Making. I will show you an example of a good, proper card:

Have a look and study the card carefully. Look at how the credentials are correct.

Your homework: Study this card carefully and tell me one mistake I made in typing it.

 

Next Lesson: Card Effect Typing.

@ Azmania2260:

 

Would you mind taking a look at my cards? I still fear they are too overpowered. They are in my signature. With regards to 1st edition vs. LIMITED EDITION, i chose to let it have 1ST EDITION. as for EN???, I was planning on changing the whole code to ORHE - WH???

 

Also, shouldn't this be Pinned/Stickied?

parkourmania: Well done, Homework was correct. Also, your card is good, not good OCG at all. Althoug, how to write proper card effects wasn't on yesterday.

the-champion-1: That will be included in my topic on ''Forum Behaviour and Posting''.

Zander_Monster: They're good cards, I'll have to look at all of them later. In the mean time, your a new student.

parkourmania, the first card is quality. Correct OCG. Fair effect.

 

BUTT: Bad pic, It's Edition.

 

Second card: NEVER STEAL OTHER REAL CARDS PICS. And don't add a capital letter for every word. Make it

 

When this card is sent to the Graveyard as a result of battle, Special Summon 1 LIGHT Monster from your hand.

 

Third card: Again, don't add a capital letter for every word. Make it:

 

Inflict 400 Points of Damage to your opponent's Life Points for every Spellcaster-Type in your Graveyard.

 

Otherwise, you are improving You are the star pupil of this academy so far.
