Custom Dark Magician Card

[StevoSoto]

Let me know what you think of the custom card

Its too powerful. The effects need to come with some cost. Perhaps have a life point cost for summoning D Magician and require detaching xyz materials for the other effects.

The only problem with it is that its a free Raigeki. It's just bad design.

 

Look at Magical Hierophant Hieron to get an idea of what you should be doing. Maybe detach an Xyz Material + Discard X number of cards to kill monsters of the same amount discarded? That'd be fine, probably, and then this car would be fine. Not much targets in the current game, but what does makes this hilarious. It's stats are low, too, so it's not like it's invincible at all.

 

Just limit the Raigeki and it'll be fine ^^

I am glad SOMEONE still likes dark magician.

... No, that's not it at all.

 

To be honest, the ability to Special Summon Dark Magician is absolutely worthless outside of some random Dark Magician deck. It's too cloggy to run a vanilla like him elsewhere, even at 1, unless you could loop this thing stupid easily. It's just a flavor thing, that's why I left it be.

The two free raigeki's are what makes this card broken. I mean its a possible target when you are sitting on a pair of Gagaga magicians or a Magician and a Magician girl, but outside of that broken raigeki effect I don't think any spellcaster user would use him. In the format to come 2500 is not going to be the number that keeps monsters alive especially with all of those dragon beaters coming at it. I also don't understand the special summoning of a Dark Magician. If the 2500 Xyz couldn't do anything why would its 2500 Normal counterpart be any different?

 

I would suggest getting rid of the raigeki part all together and giving it 400 more attack that way he still weaker than the Blue Eyes (which seems to be important to the whole Yu-Gi-Oh story) and maybe he can special summon any spellcaster from the deck when he is destroyed by battle.

See, this is NOT okay =/

 

Yes, the point is to critique and make it better, but you basically told him to redo the card completely. Don't suggest stat changes unless the ATK is either incredibly underwhelming or overwhelming, and if there's flavor then leave it be, which there is here. Don't suggest the removal of an effect completely when your idea completely changes the intent of the card and ruins the intended design. Limit it unless it is so impossibly broken that it can't be fixed without removal. The summoning of Dark Magician, while bad, is a flavor thing. That's a more reasonable part to buff up, but to what? Even when killed by battle, any Spellcaster is a broken concept, even if not so in practice, so you'd have to limit it in some way, so come up with something better than "change the type of effect and make it more generic".

 

And don' reply to this, anyone =/

[Guest Yuzuru Otonashi]

Alright, you've been on since your warn and the time to fix it has elapsed.
