This card is treated as a Normal monster when it is Summoned. You can Summon this card again to have it treated as a effect monster with this effect: each time you or your opponent activates Trap Cards inflict 750 damage to your opponents life points.

Sounds nice
Just 1 question - will you be grading on the RC scale, or the TCG scale? Anyways:

Good question. Playability is obviously a TCG thing. Creativity is a RC thing. Balance is both, yet the definition is different. OCG is needed for both and is something they have to agree on. Name & Pic are the small areas for how it flows. So, they both go together. You get what I'm saying?

@Everyone: I'll grade your cards while I have the time. More CAN enter still. I just don't want too many cards to grade at once.

If this card destroys a monster by battle; add 1 "UNSC Marine" from your deck to your hand. If a "UNSC Marine" monster you control is destroyed by battle, banish it and gain Life Points equal to half of it's original ATK.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

Pop Culture is allowed, thanks to the way I worded it. And you don't have to be sorry, I graded everyone else ahead of time.

[i]If this card would be returned from your Graveyard to your Deck: You can Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position; Destroy 1 Attack Position monster on the field. If you do: Banish this card when it leaves the field.[/i]

The main way I can see this gain its effect is with PoA. If you do that, you gain a 1900 beatstick and the destruction of an opponent’s monster. It being banished does help a bit, but the damage would be done AND you can Xyz Summon to set it up again. Also, the image looks more like FIRE than DARK.[/spoiler]

Something that Volcanics need. Have 1 in your hand? No problem. Discard it and you now have 2 in your hand. Use 1 for “Blaze Accelerator” and SS the other. I’m guessing that this is to help Volcanics use Rank 5s? Well, it works. Also, Rekindling does say hi to this, which is a nice touch.[/spoiler]

[i]This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field: You can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:[/i]
[i]* When you or your opponent activates a Trap Card: inflict 750 damage to your opponent.[/i]
[i]I’m sad to say that this format won’t use many Traps. You can thank 3 MST and Heavy Storm for that. You got the text for Gemini monsters all wrong. It is UP’d since it is a waste of time for a burn.[/i][/spoiler]

Nice to see you Zex. This card is a great piece of art. It gives Rituals much needed support, BUT the main Ritual Deck I see is Gishki. That hampers the Playability a bit. Everything else is excellent as usual.[/spoiler]

[i][i]When your opponent destroys a Level 4 or higher monster you control: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower monster from your Deck in Defense Position.[/i][/i]

Wordiness gets you nowhere. OCG is terrible. Name is not good, yet the pic does help a small bit. I don’t think this’ll see play at all since it is a -2 upon Summon with little way to make it up. I see that you tried, but it was poorly executed.[/spoiler]

This card is UP’d. A Level 9 Synchro with only an ATK boost effect? On top of that, a Nomi that needs a Tribute to stay on the field. May I ask why?[/spoiler]

If this card is Summoned by its own effect: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the number of monsters in their Graveyard x100.[/i][/i][/i]

As much as I like seeing fake-types, this is better off as a Spellcaster. Got to love a plusing beat stick. OCG was off, but I handled it. Anti-Meta may use this card, but there are better choices.[/spoiler]

OCG was terrible. I got what you were trying to do, so I took care of it for you. 3 monsters for a burn monster? It depends on the Deck you run, but I wouldn’t try to make a Deck around it. This isn’t creative since it is a “herp I burn you derp” card.[/spoiler]

I have taken a look at your Pop Culture Set, since I needed a better understanding of the card, and saw that is was a decent card. An endless +1 that would only be used about once or twice. Also, I do enjoy the Life Point gain, but that hampers reusability. OCG had minor flaws, but nothing too bad. I do enjoy the creativity overall and its place in your Set.[/spoiler]

Well, that concludes this Quick N’ Easy Contest. It was a close one, but Yuzuru Otonashi walks away as our winner. Thank you everyone for playing and we’ll see you next time on Striker’s Quick N’ Easy.
