DARKPLANT RISING Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 [spoiler=Before]ohai guise, it's Darkplant - VENOM. Well, recently (as in the last three years) I've been active mainly in the TCG section. Back when I entered YCM, I was using a terrible deck that ran Jinzo and Twin-Headed Behemoth and Marshmallon and Vorse Raider and Wave-Motion Cannon (all in the same mash-up), I never won a single duel in locals, and the only Synchro Monster I had was Red Dragon Archfiend. Times pass, and [s]YCM[/s] the TCG section made me learn (to this day, I still believe the TCG section is the only section in which one can actually learn something. Well, never visited GFX - maybe that's like that too, but IDK). Now, while I might not be really "professional", I constantly top near locals, and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the more experienced people in this forum. As I learned, I began to realize how utterly stupid most people in RC are (take ragnarok1945 for example - he thinks Earthbound Immortals are overpowered. I mean, seriously - Earthbound Immortals). Only several threads in RC have cards that I can actually praise, most of them made by guys from the TCG section, and TBH I was pretty dissapointed. Still, it certainly [i]is[/i] true that some card makers ARE quite amazing. They have a good understanding of the metagame, and know how to make fun cards without making it involve a flying fortress that eats up all of the opponent's hand for breakfast, or an evil Kamen Rider carrying a giant missile with "+4" painted on it. In fact, I can truly say without a single second of doubt that these card makers can probably do the job much better than the current Konami. So, I felt like making a contest aimed at those people. It's for the best of the best. Not people who're like "i sumon batle ox mwahaha". I mean people who know the meta, [s]how f***ed up it is,[/s] and have a good understanding of gameplay and skill. C'mon, people.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules] 1. There's no fee for entering. I don't care a s*** about points. 2. All contestants must PM the card (s), and are not allowed to post them on here. I don't want "You stole my idea". 3. Only up to 4 contestants. Why? Because (1) I'm lazy, and (2) I don't think there'd be many people who can join. 4. I hate most multiple-round contests. So, obviously this is a one-round contest. 5. Anyone who wants to join must be, (as aforementioned in "Before",) good at the game. Also, only 4-stars or higher. I don’t think post count itself has anything to do with card making or playing skills, but it also is true that the number of good card makers is higher with the older members. Sorry, folks. (Might make a contest for newbs only soon if I feel like it.) 6. Prizes are: 1st place – 3 reps and 1000 points 2nd place – 3 reps or 1000 points (your choice) 3rd and 4th? Well, nah. 7. Make [b]up to three good support cards that can empower a particular undermeta deck of your choice while keeping its concept[/b] (sure, you can go with one or two, but chances are three will make it best). Meaning, what Konami did to Machinas and Agents isn’t what I’m aiming here. I’m looking forward to something like the empowering as in DWs. The difference? DWs still keep some good cards from before (Broww, Beiige, and Lightning. Fabled Raven was used from before the SD, too), and their original concept of discarding. On the other hand, Machinas lost all of their former cards because the new ones were too good, and made the rest utter garbage. Meanwhile, Agents stopped using Sanctuary (well, more like those two archetypes were utterly unusable before, and didn’t have a valid concept, so they aren’t suited for my idea for this contest either way). In short, you’ve got to choose and empower a deck [b]with a concept[/b] that you enjoy using, but feel should be made better. For instance, I’ve made support for B.E.S., Gradius, Gimmick Puppets, Banisharks, Spirits, etc. many undermeta decks I love. Your choice can be stronger than those decks, but you get my point. Of course, unavoidably, Written Cards are perfectly fine. [b]EDIT: Also, you can mix Realistic and Written Cards for your submission.[/b][/spoiler] [spoiler=Contestants] 1. Professor Kokonoe 2.

This Account is Unplayable Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Would also like to know if reservations are possible. I got a good idea but it'll have to wait until this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyng's Old Account Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 [s]...meh, what the hell, I guess I could give it a shot[/s] Though with...

RedRuler Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think... that i could do it. Question: If we make more than 1 card, they have to be all supports for one single deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: If we make more than 1 card, they have to be all supports for one single deck? [/quote] Yes. For instance, you can make 3 support cards for Cyberdarks, but you can't make 1 Cyberdark Support, 1 Volcanic Support, and 1 Skull Servant support (sorry if other guys are making them, but I wouldn't deduct any points for that).
