A-Z of Yugioh And Cards Making *Improved*

[Cyber Altair]

I was going to make a card making tutorial... Actually' date=' I started on it a long while ago, and I probably will finish it...

 

But something gives me the idea that you didn't make this whole thing...

 

Maybe it's the capitalization in the first half, and lack thereof in the latter?

[/quote']

 

problem is that i am not 100% perfect with the rules and i thought it would help people more if i refered to the original rulebook.

 

by the way not all of this is copied, just the rules and the info on the booster packs, and that too i wrote the introduction for the Starter deck 2008.

[Mariojo2]

Nice job, this helped me a lot, but it took me a long time to read- so long that I had to use Control+F to get to the part I wanted to get to.

[Cyber Altair]

lol, anyway the best thing is that it helped.

[Darkjagwar]

i think you should add a list of words or phrases that would always be capitalized on the card.

 

example: Special Summon, etc.

[Cyber Altair]

thanks, i will try to do it soon, pherhaps an OCG help section.

[Wilibald]

I see some people makes pictures of booster packs. How do i do that?

[Rawlyn]

Thanks for the useful information about ATK points. Does anyone have any good advice about ATK:DEF ratios? I'm never too sure about that...

[Cyber Altair]

it deosnt have to be fixed, i mean the ratio between ATK and DEF, it can be anything from 50 ATK and 2300 DEF to 400 ATK and 300 DEf as long as the ATK and DEF are balanced.

2 OCG questions about things mentioned in this guide...

 

1. All the sources I've seen have said "Advanced Summon" as opposed to "Advance Summon." This actually came up in a PM conversation today so I was wondering if both phrases are correct or only one. If only one then what source are you using to determine which is correct and which is wrong?

 

2. I was told by a Mod here who was helping me with OCG corrections that "Hand" did not need to be capitalized. So who is correct on this point?

 

Thanks in advance for the answers. ;)

* Advance Summon is when you actually summon the monster. "I Advance Summon my monster". Advanced is the term used, "this monster can only be Advanced Summoned". these are just examples ok.

 

* Actually your right about that, i'll change it in a sec.

[Enigma Zero]

1. Thanks for the explanation.

2. Glad I could help..even if it was something small.

Edits for the OCG Phrases:

 

• "Attack Position" and "Defense Position" are capitalized.

• in the phrase "return to your/your opponent's deck/hand" Deck is capitalized but hand is not.

What I did for my first card was to use the *.

It made a small bullet point.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box. But you did bring up a good point for a possible mod to the card maker.

[Enigma Zero]

(Hold ALT) 0149 (Release ALT) and you get • which works in the card maker.

 

You're welcome. 8)

[Cyber Altair]

thanks Enigma, i'll add that up.

Sick tut.

[Wierdmin]

Maybe you could add something about the Set ID usually being:

 

[~~~~]-[**][...]

 

~ - An abbreviation for your set. (e.g. Mellow Knight: MLNT)

* - Language of the card. (Spanish: SP, English: EN, French: FR, Portugese: PT, German: DE, Italian: IT)

. - Number in the set. (e.g. 008, 027, 113)

[Darkjagwar]

the second ID NO. box already has space for 5 characters. it's possible to fit EN001 or w/e in there already.

[Cyber Altair]

thnx Wierdmin , i'll add it.
