[Finished]Quitting YCM - Giving Away All My Points - Anime Contest Round 1


Recommended Posts

421 mb of template goodness? Sounds amazing <3 Really hope I get somewhere in this contest, since I hardly do in other contests.

It's nice to see you're going out with a bang since I can safely say you were one of the most respected members here on the site. You have a great history, an amazing shop from what I can remember too. If you can't pop back to YCM every so often to check up, I'll probably check out that site that you're running! I wish you the very best!

Once per turn: You can banish 1 monster from your hand; this card gains that monster’s effects until the End Phase. When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Activate 1 of the following effects: • Return this card to your hand and take 800 damage. • Target 1 monster on the field; targeted monster cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Could I be allotted a bit more time for the posting of my card? I need to make some modifications to it, and my computer's having some problems with uploading right now.

Is it okay to submit as a written card? I just can't generate the card because I can only use an iPad to submit it.

If you control no monsters: you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). If you Summoned in this way: banish it when it leaves the field. When this card is Summoned: place 1 "Sakura" Counter (max.3) on this card. Once per turn: you can pay 2000 Life Points; place 1 "Sakura" Counter on this card. During either player's Battle Phase: you can remove 1 "Sakura" Counter from this card and target 1 monster on the field; the targeted monster's ATK and DEF is reduced to 0.

ATK 2100
DEF 1650

[quote][b]Comments:

I do not give out scale ratings simply because they're a bit too crude of a measure. Hence, I actually look through the card and explain what I think of the card itself, and decide upon that for the final three winners. If my comments are a bit unjustified and/or just plain wrong, well, it's my contest, and my opinion, lol. I can tell you that I have zero bias towards any one member, though. And no, I do not take OCG into consideration, unless it's bloody bad English.[/b][/quote]


[color=#800080][b]Rai of the Illuminence - Yeah, err, because your card didn't work out, I won't count it as a true entry, however, you wanted to join, so you can just have the 25 points for the hell of it. See you in a future round, if you want to retry. And no, I didn't look at the effect yet, so feel free to reuse it.

Octavia - Gemini Monsters, huh? I haven't dealt with them for a long while. It's quite balanced, however, I find that the effect is too obvious, allowing the opponent to just avoid it and kill it through other means (not by attacking). Though, in any case, you could always just Gemini Summon it the next turn, allowing you to use the effect itself, and Spells and/or Traps to destroy or banish this card may be situational or unavailable when necessary. So it's fine. I like it.

Angeloid Beta - My God, templates must've gotten bigger. Anyways. Basically, what your effect says is: 1) Special Summon to opponent's side of the field. 2) The "you control" is a bit ambiguous here. I would suggest that you change the effect to something similar to, "Destroy 1 monster on the same field as this card, and the controller of that monster takes damage equal to half of its original ATK." Something like that. 3) You essentially do whatever and end your turn. 4) Your opponent takes 800 damage, and Yomi is switched back to your control. 4) When your opponent ends his/her turn, it gets returned back to your hand. 5) You never actually get to attack with this monster. This in itself is a problem that you probably overlooked and should fix. If anything, change it to, "During the End Phase of the turn after this card returns to its original owner's field," So yeah. Good attempt. I see what you were getting at, but there were some minor technicalities that you should reconsider.

Icyblue - Sounds generic. Does seem to focus heavily on the nuking portion of the effect though. Great for supplementing other monsters ready to attack, or other cards and their effects. Alrighty.

Zextra - Wow, somebody finally managed to figure out how true name holos work? I'm amazed. Before I thought I could suffice with a generic one, but it seems people have really advanced since then. Great to hear. As for the card itself, it also seems generic. I do think the first effect is a little slow, though. The second one's fine. It helps to balance out the first effect.

Evil Tristan - Choosing to reveal a monster is a bit broken, haha. 3,000 ATK is a bit too high for a simple-to-summon Level 4 monster. Revealing a spell is fine. Don't need to write the "Battle" for Piercing Damage though. And revealing a trap seems great as well. Nice supplement actually. All in all, just not too fond of the first effect, but the rest is great.

TheTragicPrince - Balanced and properly done. That's all I can say. I'm guessing that the Aqua Water is related to the character itself, which is a nice plus. Like.

Future Paradise - The summoning condition is fine itself, but the time it takes for the counters is a bit too long to be readily usable in an actual duel. Takes a bit too long, and 2,300 ATK isn't the greatest to wait three turns for, knowing the speed of the current generation. Still, not bad if you only have a single monster and an empty backrow. Would do good to stall as a backup.

Ongaku Matsuri - I think what you were getting at was something similar to Battle Fader. Let me guess, "If your opponent declares a direct attack," is more what you meant. Yeah. But they can change their target due to you Special Summoning this monster. The chances of you having three Boxing Bob's in your hand are slim to none, and clog up your deck space anyway, so the latter effect is virtually useless. Good try though.

Overlord Oblivion - Would help if I could actually see those two noted Equip Cards. Makes me think that you just copy-pasted this card from some old set or something. These days, I don't think many people actually use Union monsters, so this card really sees no use in any deck. Plus, it's way too situational, and would just clog up space. Good try though.

.Rai - The card is somewhat broken for a Level 6, single Tribute monster. I'm pretty sure Dragon decks have easy Tribute fodder, so this is just too strong. Would have been better if it was a Level 7/8, or if you added a cost for the second effect.

Tethesis - The card is balanced, yes, but it's just generic. Good to see people trying to draw though. Hehe.

Myst - One mistake: You mistakingly swapped Sakura for Petal Counters. Apart from that, I like the reference, and I like how it is quite balanced. It's fine.[/b][/color]


[quote][b]Final Winners:[/b]

[b]1st - TheTragicPrince - I see no issue with the card itself. Congratulations.
2nd - Octavia - Card can potentially be a difficult trap to get around for opponents. Liked it.
3rd - Myst - Although you didn't actually get to make the card, it was technically balanced, and you simply made a minor mistake. Doesn't take away from the fact that it was good.[/b][/quote]


[color=#800080][b]Some hard decisions for third place, honestly. The first two I had already decided, but there was a tough comparison between like 4-5 entries for third, and I see no point in a runner-up. Winners please PM me for a download link to the templates.

As for the points, once I figure out how it works for the new YCM, I will send them over.[/b][/color]

[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Ah well, congrats to everyone :3
And to hopefully clear up the confusion on the effect of my card...
Keep in mind, I tried to use Lava Golem as a reference point for a part of it.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I can see where the way it's worded would be confusing, you just have to look at it as whoever controls it applies the effect[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#5A5A5A][font=tahoma, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]When it's Special Summoned, your opponent gains control, meaning they would lose a monster, I go about the rest of my turn, end.
Then it's their turn, they go about it, all the while they have to option to sacrifice, but if not, end their turn.
Then, since they have control, during my Standby Phase, it would give control back to me, meaning I'd still get to attack/sacrifice, whatever.[/size][/font][/color]
