Sorry, wasnt used to abbreviations for most cards i know.

I honestly have no right to take the place of hijackattack but i didnt realize he posted saying he wanted to join.

it's alright, you're both in

EDIT: yeah, actually, this contest is about[u] Generic[/u] Rank 7 Xyz.
And 2x level 7 Psychic-type monsters isn't generic.
Remake it or I can't enter you.

To be totally fair, I didn't know what REDMD meant till now either. I just typed it to show I read everything xD

You don't really need to know what it means, you just need to type it, yeah.

Oh, sorry.
Fixed.
[/quote]

okay, added.

[quote name='R3mixKillah' timestamp='1332094821' post='5876765']
changed it to 3 level 7 psychic-type and tweaked its stats...how is it now?
[/quote]

Do you know what Generic means? It means the materials must be ANY level 7 monsters, nothing specific like warrior, psychic, etc. Stats have absolutely nothing to do with it. Fix it.

[quote]3 Level 7 Monsters
You can also Xyz Summon this card by using 1 face-up Rank 5 or 6 Xyz Monster you control as the Xyz Material. Once per turn, detach one Xyz Material from this card to target a monster on either player's Graveyard. This card effect, ATK, DEF and Name becomes the selected card's effect until the end of your Main Phase 2. If this card doesn't has Xyz Material, this card cannot attack.[/quote]

Originality: 8/10
I like it that you can summon it using other Xyz as well. You can basically detach a Material (that is a Xyz) and reuse that Xyz Monster's effect via this card. (since it would be in the Graveyard). It reminds of Gaia Dragoon + Phantom of Chaos.
I also like the name.
What I don't like is, even though it's Rank 7, it would rarely be summoned with 3 level 7s, rather than a rank 5 or 6

Picture: 7/10
not quite to my liking, but it's still good.

OCG: 6/10
it needs work. You should add that the attached Rank 5 or 6's Materials also become this card's materials. Also,I believe this part:
"This card effect, ATK, DEF and Name becomes the selected card's effect"
should be more like this: "This card's effect, ATK, DEF and Name becomes the selected card's effect, ATK, DEF and Name."
Also, you worded the effect so its compulsory to detach a material, and it's not by choice. I'm not sure if that was your intention.

Usefulness: 8/10
I'd say this has potential, however it may be overpowered. Say, you or your opponent have a BLS in your Graveyard.
You copy its effect, ATK and DEF and all for free. (since you'd usually summon this by attaching some material-less Rank 5 or 6 like Pleiades, Volcasaurus, etc).

[b]Overall score: 29/40[/b]

I like the concept, also you're finding a new way to use the materials, which I like. The name is also interesting

Picture: 5/10
Blurry, and bad quality. You could've chosen something more appealing.

OCG: 9/10
minor mistakes, nothing worth noting.

Usefulness: 6/10
Here, I believe the score needs to go down. Because the effect doesn't seem good enough to waste 2 level 7 monsters on.
Simply an ATK decrease for a single monster your opponent controls doesn't seem all that much. Especially with the 2950 ATK which lets you run over most monsters in the game anyways. Also, banishing it when it has no materials is a bad drawback. The card doesn't need drawbacks. Still, it'd do 2950 damage if you equip a level 7 (assuming most level 7's are around 2400 ATK) to a let's say, a 1800 ATK monster and attack it. So I'm giving you an average score.

[b]Overall score: 28/40[/b]

[quote]2 Level 7 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Halve the ATK of 1 monster of the field, then increase the Life Points of the controller of this card equal to the difference in ATK. Once per turn, if this card destroys a monster by battle: It can attack again.[/quote]

Originality: 8/10
I like it, it's original and adds in an LP boost which we rarely see here. Sure it's not the most usefull ability, but it's original and that's what counts. I also like the name.

Picture: 10/10
Great picture, good quality.

OCG: 9/10
Just some minor inaccuracies regarding the wording, but it's close to perfect.

Usefulness: 7/10
Here comes the tricky part. Evaluating its usefulness..
As much as I like the LP boost it gives you, LP gains aren't that useful overall. The fact it can attack twice is great though. It can destroy your opponent's boss monster (whose atk you halve) and proceed to attack your opponent's LP, or another monster. It can also use that effect even when it's all out of materials which is an added bonus. A 2700 double-attacker is no laughing matter. But the LP gain seems insignificant and not that worthy of the level 7 xyz material you detach for it.

[b]Overall: 34/40[/b]

Originality: 7/10
Detaching a material to destroy a monster is something many other xyz can already do, which makes that part of the effect unoriginal. The ATK and DEF values are an interesting part and the adding of the materials to the hand of the card's destroyed is also an original approach.

OCG: 7/10
needs work, ([b]are[/b] equal, [b]from[/b] this card, also it makes it seem like the detaching of materials is compulsory?)

Picture: 8/10
One Word: Genzoman
Which automatically makes it good, however it feels overused.

Usefulness: 6/10
There are much easier to summon monsters out there that can also destroy a monster by their effect. 3 level 7's requires a lot of effort so it should have a lot to show for it. And even though it's a 3000+ ATK monster with such an effect, it doesn't feel it's entirely worth the high-leveled materials. The fact it returns the materials to the hand, however, can be useful, but I can't think of many uses besides getting your Gorz back or maintaining hand advantage.

[quote][font=times new roman,times,serif][color=#000000]2 Or 4 level 7 Monsters[/color]
[color=#696969]Increase the DEF of this card by 1000 for each Xyz Material attached to this card. Once per turn, you must detach 1 Xyz Material from this card if not banish this card. Decrease the DEF of this card and opponents by 1000 to add 1 equip spell card to your hand. [/color][/font][color=#696969] [/color][/quote]

Originality: 8/10
If anything, this is original. Not many monsters have specific DEF boosts so I wonder what you were aiming for exactly.
The adding of an equip to the hand is also a[b]n interesting concept.[/b]

[b]OCG: 6/10[/b]
[b]needs more work, a lot of strange wording, grammar mistakes and missing words.

Picture: [/b]6/10
[b]Good, but blurry and overused[/b]

[b]Usefulness: 5/10[/b]
[b]Here's where this loses by a lot.
2500 ATK is little for a Rank 7, even if its DEF at first is 3000 (or 5000). The effect also suggests you detach a material (which increases your DEF by 1000) AND lose 1000 MORE DEF to decrease the DEF of one monster your opponent controls by 1000. Which is basically losing 2000 DEF for a 1000 decrease to your opponent. Also, you'd rarely benefit from the DEF decreasing effect, if not never. The equip fetching effect is also not much since equips are rarely used and are mostly bad.[/b]

[quote]2 Level 7 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 XYZ Material from this card and select 1 Rank 3 or lower XYZ Monster in your Graveyard and reveal 1 Effect Monster in your hand with the same Level as the Rank of the selected XYZ Monster; Special Summon that monster from your Graveyard and attach the revealed monster to it as an XYZ Material. [/quote]

Originality: 10/10
I love it. The concept is great and the fact you get toreuse your Rank 3 or lower monsters is very interesting.

OCG: 9/10
It's Xyz, not XYZ, but other than that I don't see anything else wrong with it.

Picture: 6/10
not too amazing, it's blurry and low quality but I can see it's actually not too bad.

Usefulness: 6/10
Here, I'm trying to think of a good way to abuse this, and the fact it's too situational kind of disappoints me.
Setting up your graveyard with Rank 2/3's (I suppose this wouldn't be that useful with rank 1's) and then summoning this requires a lot of work. Not to mention decks that consistently take out both rank 2/3's and rank 7's aren't that common.
If only the Ranks weren't as low as 3 or lower, but instead, 7 or lower, I think it'd make it significantly better.

[/quote]

Originality: 7/10
As far as originality goes, this card isn't the best example. However, I like the name and the fact it's basically monster reborn in Xyz Form.

OCG: 10/10
nothing wrong with it

Picture: 7/10
it's nice but doesn't fit the yu-gi-oh style too well.

Usefulness: 9/10
I believe this to be a great card. One- because the 3x level 7's balances it out, and 2- because it's a monster reborn with 2000+ ATK points. Nothing much to say, except that it's good. Perhaps maybe a bit underpowered.

[b]Overall: 33/40[/b]

[color=#008080]3 Level 7 Monsters[/color]
[color=#008080]When this card is Xyz Summoned, you can negate all of your oppnent's Effect monster effects until the End Phase. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; target 1 WATER monster in either player's Graveyard: Special Summon that target in face-up Attack Position. If this card is sent to the Graveyard while it has 1 or less Xyz Material attached to it; you can pay 1000 Life Points: Destroy all cards on the field and add 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Graveyard to your hand.[/color]
[/quote]

Originality: 8/10
It belongs to an existing archetype, though that doesn't make it lose points in the originality department. However, there isn't anything strikingly original in this.

OCG: 10/10
I see no problems with it

Picture: 10/10
beautiful picture, fits the theme of the card perfectly and is of high quality compared to the card size.

Usefulness: 7/10
Here I'm a little unsure since I've never played Gishki and don't know much about them but I know they don't have any level 7 monsters. And this requires a whole 3 of them. So I wonder where you were going with this. However the good thing is, it doesn't need to be strictly in Gishki to be useful. I love the effect which negates your opponent's effect monster effects (and the way the effect is worded means it doesn't only negate the effects of monsters on the field, but effects that activate in the hand or Graveyard).

[b]Overall: 35/40[/b]

Once per turn: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate 1 of the following effects:
-Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
-Destroy all Spell/Trap cards your opponent controls.
[/quote]

Originality: 7/10
nothing too noteworthy here but the fact you can choose between the effects is interesting.

OCG: 9/10
I don't know about the card, but the english lore makes me think you're missing the "[b]you can[/b] detach 1 Xyz Material.."
but other than that, perfect OCG

Picture: 10/10
Fitting and high quality:

Usefulness: 7/10
I can't deny it can be extremely useful, however, it's very Overpowered for which it gets a lower score. If only it destroyed all other monsters on the field and all Spell & Trap cards instead of only your opponent's, perhaps I would rate it higher. But even then, it'd be overpowered. Even Thunder End Dragon, which has more specific materials and is a higher rank isn't half as good as this. It's basically a Harpie's feather duster + Raigeki with 3000 ATK. Yes,you can use only one of the effects per turn, but it doesn't matter, you'd just use it for what occassion you need it more.

[b]Overall score: 33/40[/b]

I'd say it's a good card, but the fact it requires 3 materials makes it slow. You'd rarely take this out, and while the first effect is good,
the second, which includes the detaching of a material isn't very practical. Since the spell or trap card which you would destroy with this effect would most likely be used against this card, and if it attacks it would already be too late. If you would have made it up to twice per turn, and not included the destruction by battle it'd have scored higher.

Overall: 33/40

[quote]2 Level 7 Monsters
Can only be Xyz Summoned and cannot be Summoned other ways. While this card has Xyz materials attached to it: It is unaffected by Spell, Trap, and Monster card effects. Once per turn, you can detach and banish 1 Xyz material from this card; Target 1 card, banish that target and inflict 800 points of damage to your opponent. If this card has no Xyz materials attached to it, Banish it and Return all banished cards (except this card) to their respective owners graveyard, then inflict 200 damage to both players for each monster returned to the graveyard by this effect.
[/quote]

Originality: 8/10
I'd say it's original, especially the part of where it returns the banished cards. I also like the name

OCG: 8/10
some capitalization errors and inaccuracies (where is the card you target (to banish)? On the field/hand/graveyard?)
But other than that it's fine

Picture: 10/10
great picture

Usefulness: 5/10
Now while it's extremely usefull, it's also bad in the way how "extreme" it actuall is. It means it's overpowered.
A monster with 3650 ATK which is unaffected by card effects is close to impossible to get rid of except by battle. And you don't usually take out 4000 attackers that often. The fact it's so hard to take out makes it bad. It's also had only 2 materials, which is ridiculous for this kind of effect. Cards like these are bad for the game and shouldn't be made. That's why it scores so low.

[b]Overall: 31/40[/b]


RESULTS

1st place: [b]Yuuichirou[/b]
2nd place: [b]Dragon Sage Ω[/b]
3rd place: [b]HijackAttack, Darkplant- VENOM[/b], [b]Sorin Markov[/b]

congrats to the winners.
To everyone else, it was a close match, I had to think a lot before deciding on the winners.
And in the end I was still very conflicted. But these are the final results I came up with.
