You do realize some of these don't work?
Gamma was C, Zeta was F, Eta was G, and Theta was H.

[Lunar Origins]

Comments on the actual cards?

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Do they not target?

[Lunar Origins]

They do not target.

[NumberCruncher]

So they're Scrap monsters?

Actual worthwhile comments?

Okay, let's start by writing Lambda in a language that non-extraterrestrial's would understand.

Once per turn: You can banish any number of "Plate" monsters in your Graveyard; Destroy [b]that many [/b]cards in your hand, then draw cards equal to the [b]number[/b] of "Plate" monsters [b]destroyed by this effect[/b].

Looking through the rest of your cards, I see maybe 2 that are actually written in the correct format/are actually understandable, but I don't have time to correct your entire set right now.

[Lunar Origins]

I don't get it.

What is so hard about understanding the effects?

[quote name='Her Scarlet Knight' timestamp='1329343507' post='5818808'] I don't get it. What is so hard about understanding the effects? [/quote]

The fact that you write sloppily.

For instance, on Delta, you never specified whether you had to reveal the card when you drew it or whether you only had to reveal it when you drew a "Plate monster".

For Alpha, besides the obvious typo of "Destroy it monster in your hand", you also haven't specified whether it can target itself with this effect or what happens in that case.

Zeta, to your credit, isn't a case of not being understandable and more of a case of being sloppily written, like the ones I critiqued earlier. And even then, it's not as bad as the others. Just make the following grammatical changes, and it's fixed.

Zealous Plate Zeta
[ EARTH / Level 4 ]
[ Fiend / Tuner ]
You can target 1 card in your hand: Destroy that target, then banish this card on your side of the field or in your Graveyard. During your Standby Phase, if this card is banished: You can [b]return[/b] 2 "Plate" cards in your Graveyard [b]to[/b] your Deck; Add this card to your hand, then add 1 "Plate" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
[ ATK: 900 / DEF: 900 ]

I don't know why you refuse to use the word "reveal" in the text for Eta, except the one time where you do, which makes the card even more befuddling.

The list goes on and on.

Eh, sorry. Lost my touch and wrote the cards in a haste on a small and terrifying keyboard.

What was terrifying about the keyboard?
