@Mohican: The card is pretty nice, but the OCG needs work. I'm no OCG Teacher, but I believe this would be the right OCG:

"Each time a Warrior-Type monster destroys a monster, place 1 Peak Counter on this card(max.4). Once per turn, you can remove 4 Peak Counters from this card to Special Summon 1 Lv 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your Deck, hand or Graveyard."

And in the new OCG

"When a Warrior-Type monster destroys a monster; place 1 Peak Counter on this card(max.4). Once per turn: You can remove 4 Peak Counters from this card; Special Summon 1 Lv 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard."

I think this is right. The card itself is fairly balanced. I would limit the places it can be summoned from to just the Deck though.



Hey guys, I made a card a couple days ago that I posted in RC. I'd love to get your thoughts on it.

[b]When this card is Summoned; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the turn count x50. When this card is destroyed: You can banish it; add 1 "Scorching Scourge" from your Graveyard to your Deck. During your Standby Phase: You can discard 1 FIRE monster; select 1 of your banished cards and add it to your Graveyard. If you control 2 or more face-up "Scorching Scourges": Banish them: activate one of the following effects depending on how many cards were banished by this effect:
-2: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the highest amount of damage you've inflicted in the past 5 turns.
-3: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the highest amount of damage you've inflicted in the Duel.[/b][/center]

Your fix for Mohican is right except I'm 95% sure 'Peak Counter' should be in quotes.

Otherwise your card is phenomenal IMO. the effects original-ness is great BUT the pic's background TBH is horrid (as stated).[/color][/center][/font][/size]

Yo! I was wondering if I could join this club. I enjoy making cards, but I do feel as though there are areas in which I could improve. Also, just from reading some of your posts, I learned of the new OCG format. I tried using it in the card I made for this post, but there may be some errors, sense this is the first time I've used it. I will also acknowledge that the chances of my card being balanced probably aren't great either.

Anywho, this card is the first in a set that I've been inspired to make after seeing this club and deciding to get back to card making:

[b]When this card is Normal Summoned: You can banish it; Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower banished "Ascendant" monster to your side of the field. When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of an "Ascendant" monster: Select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field; this card gains ATK equal to the selected card's level x50.[/b][/center]


Edit: Also, any ideas on how to improve it would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit (again): Card is updated with help of Mr. Striker

If you need help with OCG, I'm one of the guys you go to.

When this card is [b]N[/b]ormal [b]S[/b]ummoned: You [b]can[/b] banish it; [b]S[/b]pecial [b]S[/b]ummon 1 [b]L[/b]evel 3 or lower banished "Ascendant" monster to your side of the field. When this card is [b]S[/b]pecial [b]S[/b]ummoned by the effect of an "Ascendant" monster: Select 1 face-up monster on your opponent's side of the field; This card gains ATK equal to the selected card's level x50.

I saw a blend of New and the Oldest OCG. I haven't seen "may" used in years. That is my take on it. I'd say Slifer (or Ra depending if another OCG teacher comes along).

You could of been more creative with the name even if it is for an archetype.
You do not need to JazinKay image credit, he did not make them.
And it seems more like an earth that a water attribute.

Striker, could you help me with an effect? The name is only something to get my brain thinking.

Ah... I see. This is my first time ever posting a card I made to actually improve my card making skills. Thanks for the tips on capitalization. I had no idea. And I guess it's just a conditioning thing with "may." I was raised to ask with "may" not "can," so that probably rubbed off on this card when I was choosing which word. I'll keep your pointers in mind.

Though I also wanted to know any thoughts about the card itself. I'm not sure if it's balanced, and I want to know peoples' opinions on the stats. Though I can see that you're an OCG teacher, and you've really helped me in that area. I'll get to changing it right now.

Edit: Thanks Daemon. And yea, I had some different ideas for the name, but I think "Crocodile" fits just fine. I'm not going for something crazy. I mean, what if I named it something totally weird, like... "Neo Fateful Fighter Dragonic?" (lol jk, it's a cool name! And it's nice to see a Megaman starforce fan too.) Thanks for the advice!

Striker, I mean like give me ideas for the card. Kind of stuck with the effect since it is the first Neo made.
That is not the real name. I am looking for a warrior who fought a dragon in mythology.

Beowulf is the epic hero type known as "Dragon Slayer."

And Nidhogg is a dragon from Norse mythology.

Also, I credit Jazin because w/o him, I wouldn't be able to find such wonderful pics. If I knew who made them, however, I'd credit them first.

Edit: Wait, it isn't level 6? *looks at card* ... *facepalm* I changed it to level 6 at the last minute. Must've forgot to save or update the pic.

How?
It's align isn't set up properly, if doesn't do correct resizing of text, it does not support bullets.
If you have the correct text and a good knowledge of it, it is probably a great tool to use. Even if I only learned and never actually posted.

You didn't notice the *shot*? I haven't used MSE in a year. That and I really can't make the transition right now.

Oh. Yours got stolen? Mine is with me wherever I go.

It was stolen from my house when I was on vacation with my family. That was last year. I know we locked the doors and everything, but it still got stolen along with other electronics. If you are wondering, no doors or windows were broken.

Well..before i can go on working on my TEAR Set..i want to improve my OCG.
I was good with the old OCG..
but im insecure with the new..also i need some refresh..since ive been off for so long


I'd like to study OCG. :D I dont care about Design, and Balancing was always my favorite thing to do...

Dr.Gentle applies for the post as a Student with this card:

(i needed to post 2 cards...Cause its the introduction of the new Side effect of this Archetype well it's nothing special.so might be boring..dont expect the usual DRG Uniqueness :D)
[spoiler= See the Card]
This is Level 6..ignore the amount of stars in the img

Cannot be Special Summoned or Set. While you control this card face-up: Negate the destruction of a Spell or Trap Card you control. During a turn this card's effect was activated: This card cannot declare an attack unless you Tribute 1 monster with "Trauer" in it's name.
