Pots and Jars (Draw cards)

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Yes, more cards of the spell/trap Archetype of Pots and Jars. Hopefully I don't break these, though I think Pot of War and Jar of Restraint might be broken.

Picky Pot
Quick-Play Spell Card

Pot of War.>>>I would chose that all cards is my opponent's, and let em draw 1 card. Meaning this card is too powerfull
[b]Well, the point is that you lose all cards in your hand. At the very least you're going to go -2 (this card and the discard) to destroy 1 card, then your opponent draws 1 card.[/b]

Pot of Fairness >>>not harm me anything, too advantaging
[b]I am not sure about this because it's a +0, but it also gives your opponent the chance to mess up any strategy your hand might have. Maybe makes you shuffle the card back into your deck, or removes it from play? Or maybe you can't conduct your Battle Phase?[/b]

Pot of Entrapment >>> Maybe this one will be banned before it was used for any Deck Type. no chance to unbanned
[b]I could always increase the number of Traps needed, but I think the fact that it only lets you draw 1 initially sort of balances it out. You would have to run a good number of Traps for it to likely draw into one.[/b]

Jar of Restraint .>>>Too Reflecting a Greed from this card
[b]Trying to think of a way to balance it out, but I am having trouble. It's supposed to be a "I get reawarded for not activating any Spell or Traps this turn" sort of thing.[/b]

Spell Jar >>> Maybe this one will be banned before it was used for any Deck Type. no chance to unbanned
[b]Maybe make it 6 Spells? The fact it's a trap and doesn't even let you draw right away is supposed to balance it out, but I can see where you're coming from.[/b]

Jar of Demise >>>No chance to advance format playing this
[b]I'm not sure this would be banned. It only lets you activate 1 effect per turn for drawing a single extra card. If you had 2 out you couldn't activate ANY other effects.[/b]

Jar Swap >>>Maybe add some drawback cost
[b]Maybe make it only work on Spells?[/b]

Well, the point is that you lose all cards in your hand. At the very least you're going to go -2 (this card and the discard) to destroy 1 card, then your opponent draws 1 card.>>>i see that your clarification is clearing anything,.your opponent control A.G Golem and all A.G. monster,you had 4 cards. you destroy A.G Golem + you can chose either destroy Another A.G. or Spell or Trap?

I am not sure about this because it's a +0, but it also gives your opponent the chance to mess up any strategy your hand might have. Maybe makes you shuffle the card back into your deck, or removes it from play? Or maybe you can't conduct your Battle Phase?>>>i prefer let my opponent mess up my strategy ,if i could draw 2 card. So what if i had a bad card in my whole hand,i draw 2 good cards.Opponent discard 1 good cards.


I could always increase the number of Traps needed, but I think the fact that it only lets you draw 1 initially sort of balances it out. You would have to run a good number of Traps for it to likely draw into one.>>>you can recycle Torrential/Mirror/Call of haunted,thats the main cause


Trying to think of a way to balance it out, but I am having trouble. It's supposed to be a "I get reawarded for not activating any Spell or Traps this turn" sort of thing.>>>"i had Jinzo so no problems" sort of things

Maybe make it 6 Spells? The fact it's a trap and doesn't even let you draw right away is supposed to balance it out, but I can see where you're coming from.>>>same with you can recycle Monster reborn/SoRL etc

Maybe make it only work on Spells?>>>work on Trap instead, i mean Reinforcements?G.B Proving Ground?

[b]Don't quite get what you're getting at here, though I am sure that it's probably broken still... Not sure how to fix it.[/b]

i prefer let my opponent mess up my strategy ,if i could draw 2 card. So what if i had a bad card in my whole hand,i draw 2 good cards.Opponent discard 1 good cards.
[b]I had edited it to remove the card face-down, so it's gone forever. Seem balanced now?[/b]

you can recycle Torrential/Mirror/Call of haunted,thats the main cause
[b]Pot of Avarice lets you recycle limited monsters too. Except Traps can't be used directly the turn they're drawn, and they're much less abundant in most decks.[/b]

"i had Jinzo so no problems" sort of things
[b]If you had Jinzo you couldn't activate this in the first place.[/b]

same with you can recycle Monster reborn/SoRL etc
[b]And same argument as my Pot, though I'm seeing more that this can be abused.[/b]

Maybe make it only work on Spells?>>>work on Trap instead, i mean Reinforcements?G.B Proving Ground?
[b]It's not meant to be a draw card, it's meant to be a counter card. The fact it makes you draw is supposed to be a plus.[/b]

Don't quite get what you're getting at here, though I am sure that it's probably broken still... Not sure how to fix it.>>>make it whos the most destroyed card,draw 2 cards

I had edited it to remove the card face-down, so it's gone forever. Seem balanced now?>>im not quite sure it's balanced or not, maybe you can pay some cost to make it more balanced

Pot of Avarice lets you recycle limited monsters too. Except Traps can't be used directly the turn they're drawn, and they're much less abundant in most decks.>>>based on the transmigration prophecy ,make it limited or semi

If you had Jinzo you couldn't activate this in the first place.>>i forgot it was a trap, i agree with you. card effect is anything nowaday

And same argument as my Pot, though I'm seeing more that this can be abused.>>>same too

It's not meant to be a draw card, it's meant to be a counter card. The fact it makes you draw is supposed to be a plus.>>pity to your opponent who has Reinforcements n G.B Proving Ground, they miss the charity

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

I could do that, but then I feel like it could end up being either useless or abused in other ways >>;

[MibeR]

That is the difficult paths making YGO cards, we not only considering the usefulness in real, but we must also considering the balanced in order to

didnt get banned

it's all up to you coz its all your idea and your cards

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Yeah, I guess it kind of depends on the situation whether or not they would be bannable cards. Hope more people give me feedback.

[dogfish44]

Pot of War - Broken in many ways. It might be sacrificing hand advantage for field advantage, but it sets up too easlily for graveyard decks (Zombies), and for finishing off OTK's.

Blackened Pot - A -2 card, I think it's fine. It would see use in Dark World, but that's not much. Also more zombie support (Discard costs do this).

Pot of Fairness - A +0 where your opponent can turn it into the worst scenario for you. The face down bit isn't needed (You should know your hand...), but the card is otherwise fine.

Pot of Entrapment - A Pot of Avarice that will likely take about the same time to set up and is less reliable, and only works with traps. UP'ed, but ok.

Picky Pot - A gamble card. No major losses, and not broken in any way. A good card.

Pact Jar - It's fine and UP'ed - It's effectively a Jar of Greed (You can activate before your opponent draws a card in draw phrase iirc), but with no support. Perfectly fine.

Jar of Restraint - Undecided. Makes you a big target, but it acts as a Pot of Greed. I'm fine with it - It won't work when you draw it, so it's OK in my books.

Spell Jar - Pot of Avarice ~ Spell Edition. Nothing new, nothing Overpowered. Probably works well in a Spell Counter deck though.

Jar of Demise - A tough one again. I dislike it, as it gives an effective pot of greed each turn. The balance is good though, and I'd actually rather have the extra effects. Of course, the abusabiltiy with Giant Trunade is a key factor to watch out for.

Jar Swap - Perfectly fine. It's not something I'd run in a deck anyway.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Pot of Fairness - The point of the card going face-down is so that it can't be used for the remainder of the duel, since you can't Summon a face-down card.

Thank you for the feedback. I hope some more people will look at them =P

Love Jar Swap. Screw searchers, hand renewals, and effects (whether it is a negative to you or positive to your opponent) that are based on a card you draw.

[Communityreborn]

No, this is un-needed.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

All cards are technically "un-needed". And actually, some of these provide draw support to deck types that otherwise do not have any. Spell or Trap based decks don't have any good recycle or draw (other than Magic Planter for traps), and there's many types of decks that could use these cards in total. You're being a big narrow-minded if you think that "the draw cards that exist already support enough deck types and we don't need more."

I am actually going to add in Attribute-based draw cards too.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Decided I'd jump this up again.
