Thermatic v Zextra

[Sander]

Wow, people still go with the more "creative" cards? No wonder why YCM will never be good at card making, because people here can't see that those so called "creative" cards are pretty much...bad. =/

 

Oh but you know, people will now spam me with the "IT'S MY OPINION" bullshit card. I guess the old saying is true, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink".

[Zextra]

Uh, thanks?

This is exactly the issue I just finished discussing with certain people.

[EHN.]

[spoiler=Card A]

 

 

"Junk Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner Mmonsters

Should be level 8, level 10 is stupid.

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can equip this card to a monster your opponent controls as an Equip Card, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Defense Position.

Ok, sounds good so far.

The equipped monster cannot attack or change its Battle Position. For every "Junk" monster in your Graveyard, decrease the ATK of the equipped monster by 400.

Bit pointless, but eh.

Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 monster in your Graveyard to selected and declare 1 Attribute. The equipped monster's Attribute is treated as the declared attribute, until the End Phase.

What. What what what what.

During each of your Standby Phases, you can discard 2 cards to Special Summon a monster with the same Attribute as the equipped monster from your Graveyard. When the equipped monster is destroyed, inflict damage to both players' Life Points equal to the Level of the equipped monster x300.

Not necessary

 

Why is it thunder? Name is random, but I can understand the 'Parasite' part. Pic is good, but it looks like you made the card dark attribute and thunder just to fit it. Overall the card has too many effects, and is way too random.

 

 

[spoiler=Card B]

 

"Junk Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters

Level 7, easy to summon, looks good so far.

When this card is Synchro Summoned, inflict Direct Damage to your opponent equal to the combined ATK of all lLevel 2 or lower monsters used as Synchro Material for this card.

I was thinking of summoning it with a Level 4, but the earlier junk cards were to do with Level 2's, so at least it kind of fits the theme.

Once per turn, during your Main Phase, by removing from playyou can remove from play 1 Warrior-Type monster from your Graveyard, this card gains 300 ATK.. If you do, this card gains 300 ATK.

Not until the End Phase? Ouch.

If this card is attacked by a monster with less than 2100 ATK, this card's ATK becomes 2100.

So basically, if your opponent wants to get rid of their monster and take some damage, use this card's effect. Wtf.

When this card is destroyed, you can pay 500 Life Points to return it to your Extra Deck.

Don't add this bit.

 

Pic has a bland BG, stats are good, but the card itself needs to be more balanced.

 

 

 

Overall, I have to go for Card B, because it is more original, it's seemingly well put together and overall would see more playability that Card A. I don't know if it counts as three reasons, but I did give plenty of reasons in the spoilers.

[Zextra]

Yup. 3-2

Mainly because most of the people in this section have no idea about the current metagame and think they are cool because they have obelisk. =/

[Zextra]

What's creative about Obelisk? It's pretty much worthless in gameplay, since it barely sees any.

[EHN.]

Zextra your sig gives away who you are lol.

[Zextra]

oops, right...

But on the other hand, that gives me an excuse - I made it 5 months ago -_-

Thermatic +1 repping a vote for Card A gives him away also. :/

[Zextra]

That's one of the flaws of anonymous 1v1s...

You can't talk freely around here...

[Daigusto Sphreez]

Thermatic +1 repping a vote for Card A gives him away also. :/

 

I rep all people who give good reasons, when I have some free, I will do the same for you and ENH too.

 

Well this did originally have a 4 day limit, so A wins technically (I'll leave this to Zextra's digression) , but it would be nice to see who gets to 4 first, just a few more votes (or maybe 1?) guys! ;)

 

[Zextra]

Let it continue. It would be unfair if you only lost because of the time limit (I think yours is better), so let's just see who gets to 4 votes first.

[Daigusto Sphreez]

Well the rules stated it, so hardly unfair, but thank you. (I happen to think yours is better) At least it hasn't been a flawless victory from either side, which I like.

 

[Daigusto Sphreez]

BUMP.

 

I might just hand this one over. :D

 

[Daigusto Sphreez]

Ok, you have the advantage + time limit should have made you the default winner anyway.

 

You deserve this win Zextra.

So yeah, 1 for the scoreboard. ;)

 

[-Griffin]

You should probably add 'finished' or something into the title. It seems it is, and I was just about to vote.

 

I'll drop the review to try and highlight my views on the cards anyway.

 

Card A really doesn't seem right. For one, it just doesn't feel like it flows well with the theme of what it's supposed to be. the picture looks high-tech, un-junk-ish, the type's thunder, which feels wrong, and it doesn't seem right that a 'boss' monster is sitting around attached to an opponent's monster. Beyond that, it seems fairly impractical since even with Junk Synchron's effect, you need a total of 5 levels of other monsters, which is a big step up from the others which need a level 4 or lower. It seems directionless in that it jumps between Summoning stuff, burn, stopping an attack and weakening stuff. On top of that, it seems awfully easy to get rid of by tributing and with any old s/t removal, which doesn't really justify the harder-to-acquire level. Feels off-theme, directionless and UP'd.

 

Card B addresses a lot of these issues. It's a Warrior and the image holds up the Junk theme well. The first effect also works theme-wise with Junk Synchron and Warrior. The burn isn't amazing, and people would probably Summon Scrap Archfiend more often, but it still seems more viable than Card A. If I were to make suggestions, though, I'd say to make the attribute DARK (as Junk Synchron) and remove the 'Once per turn' clause - it could make a fun card if it sometimes jumps to a 4000ish beater.
