Ok sorry for the late ending. Lets look at the entries.

[spoiler=Daft Punk]

This card cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is used for the Synchro Summon of a Dragon-type Synchro Monster, equip this card to the Synchro Summoned monster instead of destroying it. Any monster equipped with this card cannot be destroyed by battle. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead.
[/spoiler]
Equipping to the dragon it synchros and protecting is really cool. A bit of a precursor to exceed monsters. But itself not being destroyed by battle I think might be pushing it a bit too far when combined with the other effect.

LORE: When your opponent declares an attack, you may choose to activate the following effect. This card gains 700 DEF until the end of the Battle Phase, and is attacked by the monster currently attacking. Your opponent then cannot target another monster this turn. Once this effect is activated, this card can not change battle positions except by the effect of another card.
[/spoiler]
A bit of an interesting blocker. Though the effect would make more sense if it switched to defense position when normal summoned. As is I don't think the effect is consistant enough.

[spoiler=AngryBird]

Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not. Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by a cad effect, it is not. Each time one of this card's effects is activated, draw 1 card.
[/spoiler]
This thing is a pimped-up Clock Reasonator with draw power. Way too powerful. might have been better if you only drew a card when it died.

[spoiler=TCG Warrior]

Once per turn, you can equip this card to a face-up monster you control, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While equipped to a monster by this card's effect, when that monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can add 1 "polymerization" or 1 "Armaill" from your deck to your hand. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead.)

[/spoiler]
Took the Retrain That Vanillia #1, Retrain That Vanilla #7, and the Retrain That Vanilla #[Insert Future Number] entires and sent them all in. The One-Eye Shield Dragon has a decent enough effect. Armail has a nice recycle effect. As for the fusion though, I'm torn between too weak and not concise enough. It does seem useful but I feel the fusion could have been a bit more straight-forward.

[spoiler=Sorin Markov]

[/spoiler]
A dragon that thinks it is a clown. The dream clown effect is ok but the second effect seems too weak to matter.

[spoiler=Asert333]

[/spoiler]
Random dice effect that doesn't really fit and doesn't really help. Sorry.

[spoiler=Maha Guns]
One-Eyed Shield Dragon
WIND / Level 3 / Dragon / Tuner
ATK 700 / DEF 1300

If you control only 1 WIND monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card can only be used as a Synchro Material Monster for a WIND Synchro Monster. While this card is in your Graveyard and there are more than 3 WIND monsters in your Graveyard (excluding this card), you can remove from play 2 of them to select 1 monster you control. The selected monster cannot be destroyed by battle twice per duel.
[/spoiler]
I like the special summoning and I like the tuning restriction. But making the last ability give a monster a twice per duel effect seems like it would get confusing with a lot of other effects and cards going around. Until the end of the turn might have been better.

[spoiler=Cody Frost]
[img]http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5195/67897k.jpg[/img]
You can discard this card to add 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. If you add "One-Eyed Shield Dragon" by this effect, you can discard that monster to draw 2 cards.
[/spoiler]
Seeing how it has no restriction like other similar searchers like Thunder Dragon or White Stone of Legend already makes this card a bit broken. But then they can cycle through themselves for draw power. Sorry but way too ambitious with this one.

[spoiler=Hounds of Anubis]

Lore: 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
This card cannot be destroyed by battle or by monster effects. Once per turn you can decrease the ATK of 1 monster your opponent controls by 700. If this card is used as a Synchro Material monster for the Synchro Summon of a Dragon-Type monster, that monster cannot be destroyed by your opponent's cards until your opponent's next End Phase.
[/spoiler]
The ATK decrease is good. Also the added protection to whatever it tunes with is cool. Would love to see Shooting Quasar Dragon made from this thing. The not destroyed by battle makes sense but not by monster effect might be pushing it. Though overall a pretty balanced and flavorful card.

[/spoiler]
A super-blocker. The problem is you could sacriface all of your LP to defeat an opponent through massive reflective battle damage. You don't even need to sacrifice as many LP if you use Cross Counter with it.

[spoiler=Giga Hand]

[/spoiler]
I try to not be too picky about grammar or rulings but you do know that the "XYZ" archtype are just fusion monsters and not their own card type? A more powerful verison of Steelswarm Needle.

[spoiler=Spite3G]

This card can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, “Shield Dragon Incantation”. When this card is selected as an attack target while in Defense Position, this monster’s DEF is doubled during the Damage Step. Also, when this monster in Defense Position has a DEF higher than the ATK of the attacking monster, destroy the attacking monster with this card’s effect. (Damage Calculation is applied normally.)
[img]http://i53.tinypic.com/2e3se3s.png[/img]
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Cyclo-Dragon Gardna". You must also Tribute monsters whose total Level Stars equal 3 or more from the field or your hand.
[/spoiler]
YES! Someone has finally sent me a realistic ritual spell card! All previous RTV ritual entries seem to specific tribute cards or extra costs. Being a huge fan of rituals I am happy you made one right. As for the actual effect it is a decent blocker but I'm not really sure that alone makes it worth it.




[spoiler=Winners]
1: TCG Warrior
2: Daft Punk
3: Hounds of Anubis
[/spoiler]

Retrain That Vanilla will go on a week break. Instead I will be having a ritual monster contest!

YES, I won again.
Too bad I'm no good at creating pics myself, so I'll skip the following contest.
Also, a little extra, you might not have heard this voiceofchaos, but the so-called exceed monsters will be called Xyz (pronounced exceez) monsters in the TCG.

Ps. If I may, I can create and host the 8th retrain that vanilla contest.
If I may you can contact me (I have already thought of a card to use).

Thanks! And they seem a bit confusing. How can you stop them if cards like "Level-Limit B" don't work on them?

[quote name='Qu@ke' timestamp='1306265312' post='5229345']
I waste of time and effort IMO, this game has been going down hill since after GX finished...
[/quote]

Actually, there are a few cards I like. Such as a few Synchros. But other than that, I'm still a fan or the original cards! I have an original, holo Dark Magician still. ;P

They can be stopped like normal monsters with cards that destroy monsters (ex. Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, ect.). However, they cannot be targeted by effects that involve level, as they have a Rank rather than a Level.

Ah, I gotcha now. Seems like a lot of trouble just to summon one card though. :<

Because you didn't know what Xyz monsters were when you judged my card, I feel I was judged unfairly. Just sayin'.

Say Exceed next time. XYZ monsters are some of my favorites, and I don't want to see their name used as slang.

Oh, and Xyz is the new name for Exceed monsters.
[/quote]

I feel like I nearly threw-up when I read that! I really hope that isn't true. I was mad enough when they changed "Aspiring Emperor Hope" to "Utopia". I know the starter deck picture says "Dawn of XYZ" but I thought had to do with the Bugman cards lol. This is very terrible!

I am very surprised that there is so much exceed (I'm still calling it that for a while) hate on here. Personally I didn't really dislike or like them at first. But as more are coming out I like them a little bit. Like I'm doing a Ritual contest this week (link in my signature) I will be doing an exceed contest in the future. I hope people join that.

Oh as for similar contest, I really don't have a copyright on this contest. If anyone wants to do their own version they are free to. In fact I honored by that. But I will continue to do my own, there are several cards I really want to see re-done. But from time to time I want to do another contest and the rules say I can only hold 1 at a time.

Honestly it is still just Steelswarm Needle except it doesn't die. A lot less ATK granted but it still just seems too powerful versus certain decks and just didn't go too well with the flavor of the card.
