On card design

Putting link in sticky incase it ever gets buried.

I'm current WC mod, so if you need help stickying things, call me. WC is a forum that has such a mature clientèle you don't have to do much moderating.

Thanks, but this is part 1, so linking part 2 at the end of the first post should be fine, they don't both need a sticky.

Here's a list of some possible reasons a card is bad for the game:[list]
[*]It discourages Player-Player Interaction (cards that cause OTKs/FTKs fit here)
[*]It causes Slippery Slope and Lame Duck situations
[*]It causes too much luck. "Too much" is subjective, but the reason that too much luck is bad is that it makes the game "you vs luck", breaking down Player-Player Interaction
[*]It interferes with something outside the current duel
[*]It interferes with the way a good player plays [b]negatively[/b] (e.g. makes players not attack for a long time out of fear, so duels take too long)
[*]It makes Starting Conditions uneven too much, by making some Decks unplayable (a 'super-macro' would do this by killing all Graveyard Decks)

In terms of card making, from now on, I'll refer to this list as the "Dreadful 6". And I know it doesn't fit much, but I wonder...

How about [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/289767-rsf-original-xander-mac/"]this card[/url]? How many of the "Dreadful 6" does it go on? Or it's too specific to count, like "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy Of The Beginning."?
