Donsheo Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hey guys. Just decided to post some custom card ideas. But to make the things more interesting, while I'm posting some new cards, I'm also creating some fictionalized, custom Structure Decks too with some reprint ideas. Let's see first the Structure Deck list: [quote]MONSTERS 1 Intra-System Terraformer, Alien Weapon (*) 1 Alien Analyst (*) 1 Alien Miner (*) 1 Alien Mother 1 Alien Overlord 1 Alien Warrior 1 Alien Kid 2 Alien Dog 1 Alien Grey 2 Alien Ammonite 1 Alien Mars 1 Alien Skull 1 Alien Telepath 1 Alien Hunter 1 Alien Hypno 1 Alien Psychic 1 Evil Dragon Ananta SPELLS 1 "A" Cell Morphoirradiation (*) 1 "A" Cell Incubator 1 "A" Cell Scatter Burst 1 Code A Ancient Ruins 1 Corruption Cell "A" 1 Mysterious Triangle 1 Mystical Space Typhoon 1 Heavy Storm 1 Pot of Duality 1 Viper's Rebirth TRAPS 1 Close Encounter of the Third Kind(*) 1 Alien Brain 1 Damage = Reptile 1 Offering to the Snake Deity 1 Snake Whistle 1 Starlight Road 1 Planet Pollutant Virus 1 Cell Explosion Virus 1 Crop Circles 1 Threatening Roar 1 Brainwashing Beam[/quote] Now, let's see the custom cards: Intra-System Terraformer Monster/Effect Reptile DARK, LV8 ATK 2500 DEF 1950 Eff: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by removing 2 A-Counters from anywhere on the field. Once per turn: remove 1 A-Counter from anywhere on the field; send 1 card from the field to the Graveyard (if you activated this effect: this card cannot attack during the same turn). When this card is sent to the Graveyard, add 1 "Alien" monster from your Graveyard to your hand. (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.) Alien Analyst Monster/Effect Reptile LIGHT, LV4 ATK 1600 DEF 800 Eff: When this card is Normal Summoned: place 2 A-Counters on face-up monster(s) your opponent controls. Once per turn: remove 2 A-Counters from anywhere on the field; add 1 "Alien" monster from your Deck to your hand (except "Alien Analyst"). (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.) Alien Miner Monster/Effect Reptile EARTH, LV1 ATK 300 DEF 100 Eff: Once per turn: place 1 A-Counter on 1 monster OR 1 "Code A Ancient Ruins" on the field. "Code A Ancient Ruins" cannot be destroyed by card effects while this card is face-up. (If a monster with an A-Counter battles an "Alien" monster, it loses 300 ATK and DEF for each A-Counter during damage calculation only.) "A" Cell Morphoirradiation Spell/Normal Eff: Activate only if there are any A-Counter on the field: Discard 1 "Alien" monster and remove 2 A-Counters from anywhere on the field; draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 ""A" Cell Morphoirradiation" per turn. Close Encounter of the Third Kind Trap/Counter Eff: Activate only when your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster and you control any "Alien" monsters: remove 2 A-Counters from anywhere on the field; negate the Summon of the monster and destroy it. [b]PROMO[/b] Alien Mothership Captain Monster/Exceed Reptile EARTH, Rank 4 ATK 2400 DEF 2000 Eff: 2 "Alien" monsters Once per turn: you can detach 1 Exceed Material Monster; place 2 A-Counters on face-up monster(s) your opponent controls. While this card is face-up on the field: monsters with A-Counters on them cannot attack or change their battle position. Link to comment
Donsheo Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 "Intra-System Terraformer" and "Alien Analyst" cards are modified/balanced. Link to comment
Time Psyduck Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 These all look fine. The only suggestion I'd make is to remove the ATK/DEF loss clause from Analyst, since it already has decent ATK for a level 4 - and since you'll often want to remove the counters it places for it's effect, and other aliens can give anything it battles the reductions, it's probably not really too important anyway. A couple of ocg points: The names of counters aren't in quotation marks, Analyst doesn't say where it adds the card to, and U.F.O. says to remove [i]from play[/i] the counters, whereas it should just be remove. The decklist looks fine. It covers all the aliens, and whilst there aren't many staples reprints of Heavy Storm and Starlight Road are nice. Link to comment
Donsheo Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thank you for your comment! It is really appreciated. *like* Maybe the ATK/DEF loss can give it a huge advantage, Analyst usually removes counters from the field. I'll think about it, maybe I'll do some testplays with these cards to decide if it's a huge advantage or not. For OCG: thanks, I'll remove the quotation marks from the names of counters (even if I saw some in DN's card descs). Analyst says that it's from the Deck ([i]add 1 "Alien" monster from your [b]Deck [/b][/i]), and UFO is fixed. Yup, I just wanted to add some interesting reprints as commons (like Evil Dragon) and a collection of all Main Deck Aliens, but also wanted to add some staples/semi-staples used in this current format.

Time Psyduck Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 It's not where it comes from that's the issue for analyst, but rather where it goes [i]to[/i]. "Add" implies the hand, but it needs spelling out. Link to comment

Therrion Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 [center][center]I love Intra-System Terraformer, there is nothing I would change on it to be honest.[/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center]Analyst is great also, comboed with Dog can be pretty devastating on any monster and/or set up good plays. I love that it has great search power also, if comboed with Dog you can retrieve and Summon Intra-System, very nice card.[/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center]As for Miner, it needs something for protection while you are not using an infinite Swords of Revealing Light or using Psychic.[/center][/center] [center][center]As for Morphoirradiation, I think removing 2 counters is enough of a cost w/o the need for the discard.[/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] [center][center]U.F.O is nice also, but I think it could have the text Warning have to stop effects that Special Summon, instead of being a Saber hole with a cost that slows the counter generation process.[/center][/center] [center][center] [/center][/center] Link to comment

It is really appreciated. *like* You liked Intra and Analyst, so I won't comment about them anything. Yup, maybe Miner should have some kind of protection, however, if your opponent's only monster is a beatstick with A-Counters on them, and you have a good Alien beatstick too (like Analyst or Intra), your opponent won't try to hit the Miner, instead he'd try to defense. Maybe a protection against monsters with A-Counters on them is not a huge thing, but even can stall the opponent. For the Morphoirradiation, I think it also needs that discard AND counter removing. The reason is that it doesn't removes the monster, can be recycle it by Ruins, and also allows to Special Summon during the same turn, which is not allowed by most of the draw engines. These restrictions are also "cost" in an other term (like PoD: you can only activate 1 and cannot Special Summoned). And also, if you didn't need to discard for this card, it'd be a +1, which could generate a huge advantage for this archetype, and this card would be limited. UFO is another story. I'm still hesitating about it: Maybe having A-Counter on the field would be enough, but maybe it'd be a bit broken without them. I want to test these cards out, but I don't have a chance for it at the moment, since I couldn't find anyone who could help me in that.[/center][/center] Link to comment
MibeR Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Intra-System Terraformer >> card is decent, and good to be boss. Better than overlord, Alien Analyst >> This is what Alien needed. But 1800 + 600. 2400 beatstick make this little bit oped. You can get rid brio with this, make the atk to 1300ish. Its for search anyway Alien Miner>> Good, cant think any suggestion "A" Cell Morphoirradiation>> draw engine is always good, yeah. Unidentified Flying Object - U.F.O.>>We need more Warning and Judg, Overall, they are nice added for Aliens. Love the Spells and Traps. Also analyst Link to comment

It is really appreciated. *like* Intra-System Terraformer is one of the most balanced bosses: not so powerful, but easy to Summon and even has a good ability. Can be a good addition next to Gol'gar. Analyst is an awesome card which makes the Alien Decks more faster, especially with Alien Dog. I agree that it's maybe a bit too much, but it's not always used for killing monsters, just in emergency situations. Searching is a more important task for this card. Also cannot rid of Stardust or other Structure Bosses. Alien Miner is my favourite. It's a really good protection for the "Gateway of Aliens", Code A Ancient Ruins. It's one of my favourite cards, but it's always destroyed by S/Ts, especially in this format. So, I created a defense for it, which can also give it an A-Counter. A bit loopish, but if you destroy it, then you can destroy the Ruin too, so it's sometimes just one more card - but sometimes a risky riddle. Link to comment
MibeR Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Emh, what we care in this situation is analyst. Because it is beatstick 2400 ATK anyway. And it is Level 4, so what im trying to say here is. If you wanna use the search with this card, you should lower the atk in order to make it balanced. That way, you cant abuse the ATK beatstick, and easily a beatstick is bad. i mean broken Link to comment
NumberCruncher Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Nice structure deck. If I were to make a change, I'd replace Mars, Skull and Psychic with another Ammonite, another Warrior, and Venominon, just so the general make-up resembles that of an actual Structure deck.

Donsheo Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Changes: - 1 Flying Saucer Muusik'i - 1 Cosmic Horror Gangi'el +1 Alien Ammonite +1 Alien Dog Also, changed the ATK of Analyst to 1600. Link to comment
Donsheo Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Bump. Link to comment
Donsheo Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Bump. A lots of things are changed, also added a "Promo" card. Link to comment
NumberCruncher Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Promo should probably require 3 monsters, but do like. Link to comment
Donsheo Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Maybe. Still test in progress. Bump. Link to comment
