Alight it has been a week, and you all have had more than enough time. This contest is offically over, and I will accept no more entries. That means Enguin is disqualified for obivous reasons. I will begin judging and have prizes sent out within a week. Thank you for your participation and patience with me.

[ENMaker]

I messaged him about it just now, but he was last online 3 days ago so I wouldn't be expecting anything soon.

k and thx

I'm sorry. I know that does not mean much, but that's all I can say. I'm 2 months late on your prizes, and you have given me stellar results. I do have a life, but I could have told you guys I would be delayed or give you some kind of word. Honestly I did forget, but that's no real excuse. In light of what I did, I decided to give you all perfect scores in the OCG Category (checking proper OCG will delay your already delayed scores) and double the prizes I will send out. I don't mean for those to be bribes, but that's really the best that I can do in this situation. I hope you all will forgive me.

[b]I hate to give you a 0 in the card design section, but I just had to. This card is broken. It has so many problems that I don’t even know where to begin. Seriously. I really don’t.[/b]

[b]Ok, I know where to start. It requires 4 level 8 monsters. You see, I have no idea how hard it is to spam 4 level 8 monsters (I’ve never really tried), so I can only assume that it has an insane summoning condition. Then I remember that cards like the heretics, galaxy queens light, trade-in, the photons, gimmick puppets etc. exist (or will exist). Summoning Level 8 monsters is child’s play nowadays and the game does not need this to comeback in this way. Now it’s effects. When it’s summoned, either you banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster, or you lose it. Ok. Now you have to think about cards that can use LIGHT and DARK monsters and can consistently spam Level 8 monsters over a period of time or all at once. It’s pretty hard to come up with anything. Then it’s other effects. You can banish 3 cards your opponent controls at the cost of halve its materials. It can’t attack, but then again, who cares? Next, you can lose 3 materials to send everything to the graveyard, then either player can special summon 1 monster from their graveyard in any battle position (at least, any battle position that matters). Err what? That last effect is random. Also, if you’re going to use material to nuke the hand and field, why not just use all of them? I don’t see the logic behind that. This card is just badly designed and I know you can do better.[/b]

2 or more Level 1 monsters
This card gains the following effect(s), depending on the number of Xyz Materials attached to it:
● 2+: If this card would leave the field: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and gain 1000 Life Points instead.
● 3+: Once per turn: You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from a face-up Xyz Monster you control; draw 1 card.
● 4+: This card's original ATK and DEF become 2400.
● 5+ : You can detach 4 Xyz Materials from this card; add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand.

[b]Oh . . . MY . . . GOODNESS!!! Your card has blown me away. It is soooooo good. You not only meet my challenge, but you did something no other contestant truly did; you went above and beyond. You exceeded my expectations with a card that I will honestly say is the best designed card I have ever seen in ANY of the contests ever held. Yes, it’s even better than (No offense Enguin) Kuribomb. This isn’t a “what I like about this card” thing. It’s a “This card is so badass because” review. It is a rank 1 with 5 different effects. But the thing is though; each effect is absolutely perfect for the cards design. With Level 1 monsters as the target material, this is truly the Rank 1 Xyz that the game needs and that Konami MUST make (although they won’t L ). Anyway, let’s just say someone summons this with 3 Material, the most likely case. Then they get a draw and some Lifepoints. Go up to 4, you get all the previous benefits but a 2400 beater. Work really hard to get to 5 materials and you get the ultimate prize; you get to reuse a spell. But let’s say you get 5 material rank 1’s, and you decide not to get a spell back. Instead, you decided to leave it as a wall that your opponent must waste resources and time to get over, but you get to gain 5000 Lifepoints well they’re at it. Or you leave it on the field and abuse the draw effect for as long as possible, but you gain 2000 Lifepoints in the end. I can go on and on, but I don’t have enough time for this. You did a truly, truly, truly amazing job with this.[/b]

Kenji, we had to do Xyz versions of them. Not just a basic retrain. (And yes, I am always going to call you Kenji.)

So, this is my entry. Do tell me if there are any immediate problems with it and I will rectify them.

Lore: Whilst this card is face up on the field negate the activation and effects of all Spell cards. During each of your End Phases; detach one Xyz Material from this card. When this card has no Xyz Material; destroy it. During the turn this card is removed from the field; no Spell Cards may be activated.

[b]I doubt any deck can truly abuse this card because almost NO deck can easily summon 3 Level 4 monsters without using spells of some sort. It’s possible. Sure. But very unlikely, which is why this card is so good. Once it’s summoned, it locks down both players for some period of time with no Lifepoint costs from you. Unlike its Trap Version, you can’t just choice to get rid of it when you need to use spells either. Another fun thing is the limit you put on it. 3 turns may be enough to be a game-ender, or a game changer. Now, why this card only got 45 instead of 50 is the last sentence of this card. When it’s destroyed, spell cards cannot be activated during the turn it’s destroyed. But in 3 turns, it will destroy itself. I find that redundant. Especially considering that if your opponent manages to destroy it with some kind of trap or monster, then he/she most likely won’t need spells that turn anyway.[/b]

Postan. What do you call a 3-part Xyz anyhow? I call them Deltas.

[b]This card is fairly interesting. It boasts the highest defense of all rank 4 Xyzs, and its effect is pretty useful. Because it requires 3 Level 4 Monsters though, what decks can get a reasonable benefit from this card? HEROS? Gem-Knights? Chaos Dragon’s (Unlikely)? My point being is after you summon this, and wasting the resources needed to bring out your Delta ( ), is it truly worth the benefit? Possibly, but most of the time it probably won’t. Though it is a solidly designed card, and the fact that it can attach ANY monster in the deck to it as Xyz Material gives it a lot more uses than using its effect for a fusion summon or as a massive foolish burial. Good job. But I have to ask though, why is it LIGHT, but Beast-Type?[/b]

[i]Lore: 3 Level 4 DARK monsters[/i]

[i]During either player's turn when a monster is selected as an Attack target you can detach 1 Xyz Material and halve this cards ATK until the End Phase to activate one Trap card from your Hand. If this card has no Xyz Material; destroy it and add 1 Trap card from your Graveyard to your Hand. [/i]

[b]It’s underpowered. For a Delta (requires 3 monsters to summon it) it lacks a LOT of power. 1600 is laughable. Then it’s effect. If it can only be used during an attack, then what true use does it have? Yeah I’m glad this card cannot possibly fuel OTK’s, but it is so weak that it won’t see real use. One more thing: Why cut its ATK in half to use the trap? It doesn’t have enough power to merit doing anything even remotely similar to that. I hope you don’t take my judging the wrong way. I’m not trying to down you in any way, shape, or form or be condescending toward you.[/b]

Again, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to do this. I really am happy with my results, and I really wished I didn't miss out on Enguins card. Anyway, Card Design is a fairly hard concept to grasp and tackle, and you guys did pretty well. Anyone that didn’t, well I hope you realize where you went wrong and learn from this. After all, if you don't grow, then my contests have no meaning. Also, congratulations to [b]Chance Furlong[/b]. His card truly represented the heart of this contest. It was so good that I just had to give him/her a score above 100. Check out his card when/if you get a chance.
