Attribute Blocking Contest, Redux [Achievements!]

[Umbra]

Introduction

I was looking through the Contest section and suddenly got a flashback. Almost three years ago, I hosted a card-making contest called Attribute Blocking Contest, featuring many very talented card makers who have since then, sadly, left us. So, in an attempt at feeling the nostalgia, I now declare the Attribute Blocking Contest, Redux to be opened. (For those who are still active – I counted two; I will hand out the prizes this time. Promise.)

 

Just like last time, the goal is to create a monster that is designed to counter a specific Attribute. It is not meant to be an Attribute Killer, such as Consecrated Light; more of a Lightning Blade. (If you don't know the above cards, look them up for comparison.)

 

The Judging

The cards will be judged by four different aspects: Balance, OCG, Playability, and Image. The first three can give your card up to 10 Contest Points per aspect, whereas Image can give you up to 5 Contest Points. Thus, you can receive up to 35 points based on how good your card is. In addition, there are a number of Achievements. Should your card fulfill specific criteria, and receive high enough points, you will be given an Achievement. The rewards for Achievements are listed in the Achievements section.

 

Achievements

Maker's Breath: Your effect is creative and does something rarely seen on a card.

100 YCM points.

 

By Our Powers Combined: Your monster is a Fusion monster based on two or more existing monsters. You have received a score of 20 or higher.

3 Contest Points.

 

Sacrifice Yourself: Your monster is a Ritual Monster, and you have included a Ritual Spell in your entry. You have received a score of 20 or higher.

3 Contest Points.

 

It All Adds Up: Your monster is a Synchro Monster, and you have received 9 or more points under the Balance and Playability sections.

3 Contest Points.

 

Can't Wait Until You Finish It: Your monster is a Written Card, and you have received 22 or more Contest Points.

3 Contest Points.

 

It Is Good To Be The King: You have received a score of 30 Contest Points or higher.

500 YCM points

 

Prizes

Apart from the Achievements, the top three participants will receive the following prizes:

 

First Place: 3 Positive Reputation Points

Second Place: 2 Positive Reputation Points

Third Place: 1 Positive Reputation Point

 

These prizes, and the prizes from Maker's Breath and It Is Good To Be The King, will be handed out as the Contest is concluded. Also, to clarify: Contest Points given by Achievements do not count for other Achievements. They only count for your final score.

 

End Date

You have until July 17th to complete your cards. Scores will be updated as submissions are received.

I want in! :D

 

[align=center][spoiler=[size=medium]Dark Magician Girl of Chaos[/size]]

[spoiler=[b]Lore:[/b]]This card can be Special Summoned by removing 2 Level 4 DARK monsters in your Graveyard from play. Any LIGHT monster that battles this card loses 500 ATK during the Damage Step only. In addition, all LIGHT monsters in your opponent's hand have their Level increased by 1. When this card is removed from play while on your field or in your Graveyard, your opponent removes 1 LIGHT monster from his her Deck from play.

I can tell already you've misinterpreted; you've mistaken Attribute for Type. I'm looking for cards that are, for example, Anti-DARK or Anti-WATER.

 

I guess System Down was a bad example; I'll remove it. Consecrated Light and Lightning Blade still apply though.

Ooops, sorry. My bad! I'll change it right away :?

 

EDIT: I'm an idiot....

 

I changed it. Is that what you meant?

[Cows198]

I'd like to join! Here's my entry:

[spoiler=]

Maxwell the Master of Gravity

LORE: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Monsters

EARTH monster your opponent controls cannot select this card as an attack target. Once per turn, you can discard 1 card to place 1 Gravity Counter on 1 monster on the field. A monster with a Gravity Counter has its Attribute change to EARTH. If your opponent only controls EARTH monsters, this card can attack your opponent directly.

 

 

[Umbra]

Both entries look good now; I will start rating them once we have a few more participants.

 

Speaking of which, I have another thing to say. After checking my calendar, I've noticed I won't be able to attend YCM on the 17th. Depending on the number of participants we get, I will either shorten the duration until July 14th, or extend it until the 19th.

[Shradow]

I shall join.

 

[align=center]

[spoiler=Lore]Whenever this card attacks a LIGHT monster, you can change the battle position of that monster. Whenever a LIGHT monster attacks this card, decrease that monster's ATK by 300 and destroy any Equip Spell Cards equipped to it.

[/align]

 

As to whether you should extend or shorten this contest, I think you should wait a few days and see how many members have joined, then make your decision based on that.

[Insert_Name_Here]

Ill join aswell, give me an Hour to make the card

 

EDIT:

[spoiler=Card]

Once per turn, if your opponent controls a LIGHT monster, pay 1000 Life Points to negate its effect until the Battle Phase. If your opponent controls a face-down monster, flip it face-up (Flip Effects are not activated at this time). If it's a LIGHT monster, decrease its ATK by 300.

 

[Umbra]

Everything looks alright; the two of you are in. At this rate, I will most likely extend the duration.

[Skyson]

Hm. What about... a multi-attribute blocker? Sounds a little out of sorts, but I might try it. Is it against the rules to block more than one attribute? Lol.

[NeosWiseman]

I doubt it. There shouldn't be a problem if you ask me

[Umbra]

Multi-attribute, as long as it's not Catastor-esque effects, is perfectly acceptable.

[Bringerofcake]

Originally I was interested, and then I saw the Written Card achievement.

 

Dark Nihilist

DARK

Fiend/Ritual/Effect

7/2000/2000

This card can only be Ritual Summoned by the effect of "Birth of the Cosmos". Any effect that targets a LIGHT monster must target this card if activated. If this card battles a LIGHT monster, neither monster is destroyed by battle.

 

Birth of the Cosmos

Ritual Spell

This card is used to Ritual Summon "Dark Nihilist". You must also Tribute Monsters you control or from your hand whose total Level equals 7 or more. If a "Dark Nihilist" you control is attacked, you can remove this card in your Graveyard from play to make all Battle Damage from this battle 0.

 

So?

[Shradow]

achow, is there a typo in your card's title? Is it supposed to Gravity or do you mean for it to say Gavity?

[Koshej]

I'm so in!

[spoiler=My card]

This card cannot be Tribute Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand by removing 5 DARK monsters of Level 8 or higher on your field. This card cannot be destroyed in battle by a monster of Level 8 or lower. If this card destroys an opponent's monster, remove the destroyed monster from play, and this card cannot be attacked by a monster of the same Attribute as the removed monster while that monster is removed from play. If this card is destroyed by your opponent's card Effect, Special Summon it during your next Standby Phase.

 

 

[spoiler=Comment]

This card is nearly impossible to Summon - but when you actually do... :shock: :shock: :shock:

That's the way Majin Buu actually is. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know, I might "misunderstood" the task a bit (or a lot) - but it does have an Attribute-based Effect, doesn't it??? 8) 8) 8)

 

 

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

eh, why not..

Lore:

1 DARK monster + 1 DARK monster

Pay 900 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases (This is not Optional). Discard 1 card from your hand to remove all face-up LIGHT monsters on the field from play. Decrease your Life Points by 300 for each card removed by this effect. While this card is face-up on the field in Attack Position, any LIGHT monster that is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned or Special Summoned has it's effect negated and is removed from play. The controller of this card takes 400 damage for each card that is removed by this effect. If this card declares an Attack, it is destroyed at the End Phase.

 

you can all guess what this counters...

i made it when LS was everywhere.

[Cows198]

yea, theres a typo in mine -.- how embarrassing, mind if i edit my submission?

[Umbra]

Everyone who has submitted entries since my last post are in.

 

Submission time extended until July 21st. The ratings will be added soon after that.

 

Typo corrected.

[Shradow]

This is still going on, right?

[Skyson]

I'll bump this 'cause I plan on making a card when I get home from errands and stuff. :O

[Umbra]

It is indeed still going on. Entries will be accepted until July 21st, after which I will determine the winners.

[usetheforcehan]

[align=center]I join to this fun fest! ;)

 

 

[spoiler=[b]Intergalactic Black Kaiser[/b]]

This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Intergalactic Summoning Vortex". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal 10 or more from the field or your hand. When this card is Summoned, destroy all face-up monsters with the same attribute as this card. While this card is face-up on the field, neither player can Set monsters and all face-up monsters with the same attribute as this card are destroyed. Once per turn, during your opponent's Main Phases, you can pay 2000 Life Points to select 1 attribute. This card's attribute is treated as the selected attribute.

 

 

[spoiler=[b]Intergalactic Summoning Vortex[/b]]

This card is used to Ritual Summon an "Intergalactic" monster. You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal 10 or more from the field or your hand. While this card remains in your Graveyard, you can add 1 "Intergalactic" monster from your Deck to your hand instead of conducting a normal draw in your Draw Phase.

[/align]

[Skyson]

Well, enough procrastinating. >_>

 

 

Invocation of the Geomancer - Ritual Spell Card

This card is used to Ritual Summon "Arcane Geomancer - Spirit Seal". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Levels equal exactly 6 from the field or your hand. When your "Arcane Geomancer - Spirit Seal" is removed from the field, you can remove from play this card in your Graveyard to remove from play all face-up DARK and EARTH monsters.

 

Arcane Geomancer - Spirit Seal

6*/WIND/Spellcaster/Ritual/Effect

This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Invocation of the Geomancer". When an EARTH monster is Summoned, negate the effects of all EARTH monsters until the End Phase. When a DARK monster is Summoned, negate the effects of all DARK monsters until the End Phase. When this card battles a DARK or EARTH monster, you can remove from play 2 cards in your Graveyard to prevent this card from being destroyed by battle during the Battle Phase of this turn.

2400/2300

 

 

 

Effects seem too long, but I dunno. I guess I'm in. Lol.

[Umbra]

Enough procrastinating indeed.

 

Contest closed for applications. I'll be busy for the next few days, but I should be able to sit down and get this finished before the end of the week.
