YCM Rookie Cardmaker Challenge II - Finished

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

THIS CONTEST IS OVER! THE RESULTS ARE IN!

 

[spoiler=Intro]

Welcome to the second Rookie Cardmaker Challenge. This went quite well the first time I did this 6 weeks ago, with guys like Rowling, HadesRuler, Admiral Stalfos, and many more coming into the contest arena. I was gonna wait a little bit longer before I started a second tournament, but there has been a surge of talented new members recently and it makes sense to do this over half term.

[spoiler=The Results]

Wow this was close, a lot of cards really split the judges opinions. Scores are out of 30.

[spoiler=Top 3]

Winner - iPatch - 24pts

This scored consistently as it is original, balanced and playable. Congrats.

 

Runner Up - Dogfish - 23pts

Would easily be mistakable for a genuine card the way it looks, and the effect really fits with the Decks it supports.

 

Third Place - Mr Spaz - 22.5pts

Personally I don't think 50 turns is that achieveable for just a healing effect, but it's imaginative and looks the business, and was scored highly by WolfFan to make the top 3.

 

[spoiler=Full Scorecard]

Admiral Stalfos - 14pts

Too many effects but un-needed because it's a beatstick without them.

 

Blazing Inferno - 11.5pts

Highly overpowered and missing standard Union text. Look and learn at the other two.

 

DTW Rules - 11.5pts

I like the concept, but too congested with effects and poor OCG.

 

GladiatorBeastAleksander - 20pts

Alek's improvement since joining this site has been steady, and this is a good little card. Effect could be better worded as it's really a continuous effect, but my favourite entry.

 

Gorilla King/Hiro Max - 17pts

Decent idea and well made card but judges wondered if RDA really needs a Union. Picture doesn't suit the monster in this case.

 

Hila Nuerfa - 11.5pts

Five cards is a tall order to make Fusion, and seven different effects is WAY too many.

 

Lewis Atherton - 21pts

Really balanced and playable if used with the right cards. Loved the name.

 

Metagross - 19pts

Ser Warjackworth's highest scoring card. Well balanced with hand return effect, and it's difficult to achieve that with a nuke. Narrowly missed out again but a solid cardmaker.

 

MrThatUnKewl - 10pts

Takes a banned card in Sinister Serpent, and makes it even more broken.

 

NEXUSGrave - 9pts

Too easy to Special Summon and badly written effect.

 

Samuel Maughan - 16.5pts

Effect would be great on a weaker monster IMO, but on a beatstick is OPd.

 

Saroku - 17.5pts

Nice idea, OCG needs work.

 

SKizophrenIK - 20pts

Interesting, but there are better cards out there. What happens when it goes into Defence?

 

YGO Pwned Josh - 19pts

Easy to sub anything in place of BLS, slightly underpowered but like the concept.

 

 

 

 

Think that covers everything. Prizes will be dispensed shortly. Thank you to all who entered.

Oh.

Alright.

Thought i recognized something about it.

[LiquidDJ11]

ok i was having problems with the pics but here is my card

 

NOTICE: this has been removed as i changed it

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

What the heck, made this for a contest that I forgot I was eliminated from, might as well use it here. Sending points momentarily.

 

[spoiler=entry]

 

LORE: Pay 1000 Life Points to destroy all cards on the field. If your opponent controlled more cards than you, they can add the difference of cards controlled from their graveyard to their hand. Any battle damage you inflict the turn this card is activated becomes 0.

 

 

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

Right, quite a lot to sort through here so bear with a lot of quotations.

 

OK here's my card.

 

Card accepted, but you may want to edit it a bit. Union is a sub-type, not a type class (like Fiend/Winged-Beast/Pyro/etc). Feel free to change it. Note to all contestants: You are free to edit your cards up until the the closing date, please edit your card in your original post instead of making a new post.

 

Heres mine

 

 

Accepted.

Yep accepted. Sorry about the judging just like more experienced people I know to do this.

 

Sounds like a great idea. I'd like to put my name into the mix.

Should have a card for you soon.

 

Ok you're in, post your card as soon as you feel you've got it perfected.

 

I'll Join give me a few seconds to create my card do you allow holo'ing and Gold Rares?

 

Same as above. You can use holo's and fancy templates but you will not score extra (or less) for doing so. Also, you sent me 20 points so I've refunded 10.

 

i can join

 

You can join, just send the 10 points and post a card.

 

ok i was having problems with the pics but here is my card

 

Sarah, Magician of Fate

Card Lore: When you summon this card in any way destroy it and remove it from play. During your next Main Phase destroy one card on the field of your choosing. If it was a monster card summon this card in attack mode, It can attack 2 times in a row that turn. If it was a spell or trap card add it to your hand.

 

Cough, cough, attachment!!! :angry: Against the rules. Please edit your post by posting your card in the usual format of clicking on the picture in the cardmaker and copy/paste the link that appears underneath.

 

What the heck, made this for a contest that I forgot I was eliminated from, might as well use it here. Sending points momentarily.

Welcome back Metagross. Determined to avenge the agonising 4th place finish when I did this last time I see? :lol:

 

Also I have had two volunteers to judges. Ser Warjacksworth - who you does a lot of ratings in the RC sections and is very tough to please I think is fair to say, and WolfFan - who is highly rated despite his relatively small post count.

 

Oh and one last thing. Please refrain from cluttering the thread with conversations, this should be conducted over PM or your messageboards, as this could be considered spam. Also please do not question other people's entry, that is my job.

 

Think that covered everything. Will send reciepts out momentarily with any specific information. Welcome and best of luck to all.

[snowyash]

 

This card can only be Summoned in face-up Attack Position. This card gains 200 ATK for each face-up Monster Card on your opponent's side of the field. If there are no Monster Cards on your opponent's side of the field, the original ATK of this card is halved.

 

My card's up. I don't think it'll need much editing, so that's pretty much the final draft.
