Of course I do. But there's no reason to keep us sitting on our asses doing nothing when all the cards are in and we could do judgment now.

alright then, I finally finished the reviews, would have them up yesterday, but school net is buggy as f***, so here are the results.

AixDivadis
Image 7 (-2 because of chirstmas theme)
Balance & RC 8 (supports real arche, is balanced as it seems to me)
Usability (6, since it's for NA, I don't know much about it, so it's hard for me to give a proper rating on how useable it is for those, but for anything else, it's still an alright card.
OCG 8 (uses some old OCG, like not changing "to" and forgetting to putting colon after "once per turn")
Creativity 5 (it's not that creative, a banish plus card adding, but not bad either)

34/50 1st (very close 1st place again, people are very even when it comes to these contests it seems)

Loyalist
Image 6 (-2 because of chirstmas theme, is somewhat blurry)
Balance 6 (it's basicly giga-mantis as an Xyz monster, so there's the fact that it can just make a monster 2300, which is pretty insane for just some random monster IMO, which is why I find giga-mantis so OP. Though that's just me, plus it's requites DARK materials, so in a Lswarm deck, this is card is gonna be amazing)
Usability 7 (for it's nice effect, but still drags down a little because of it having to be DARK monsters, though that makes it more balanced too.)
OCG 6 (not that great, I was first confuse because you didn't make it clear if it was a detaching effect, which it isn't, so you're moving Xyz Materials from a card an other way than detaching, which I don't know how to even! Also some faults with not using caps for some words.)
Creativity 7 (while it's a mantis-clone somewhat, it's still a nice effect for an Xyz monster.)
32/50 3rd (you got a tie, doesn't mean it's a bad card, though I see myself using the 2nd place more.)

Renegade
Image 6/10 (while it's actually christmas themed, it's not very Yu-Gi-Oh! at all, so it looks out of place.)
Balance 7 (I'm not quite sure where this card fits in, getting 3 level 1 monsters? How are you going to do that? I don't see many level 1 decks, so not sure how you would use this. I guess it's balanced enough since it's so weak.)
Usability 4 (I won't see myself using this, getting 3 level 1 monsters is not that easy as I see it, though because you can reuse it, you can stall with it a bit, though if your opponent has two monsters or more, it will not be that card to get rid off.)
OCG 7 (you seem to get conditions and costs wrong, so that's something you should change, unless it was just a typo. You also don't write capitlized letters after a semi-colon, unless it's suppose to be, like Special Summon.)
Creativity 7 (It's interesting, a stall card, but I don't see what you are going to use, and since you want cards to be normal, you must have a reason for that, so it's neat, though I don't understand the use for it.)
31/50 4th

Image 6/10 (not chirstmas themed again, as far as I can tell, I don't know what the heck that thing is suppose to be.)
Balance 7 (a level 2 that discards to SS itself from the deck? Not that powerful, and while you also get to SS some more guys from the grave, such as itself, it can be somewhat reuseable for Xyzs)
Usability 6 (not that strong, so I don't know if it's simple for rank 2s, which are pretty eh, or if you want some synchro for this little guy or what?)
OCG 6 (again, people need to remember to capilatize Special Summon! Also with Graveyard! You never really say effect(s) you always say effects regardless of it only having 1 effect.
Creativity 4 (discard, special summon, special summon, special summon, not that creative sadly, but it's nice anyways.)
32/50 2nd (you got a tie, but I see myself using this more because it doesn't require specific cards, besides level 2s)



Aix wins this time, but all had a good chance of winning. Anyone got a theme for the next CYOA contest? I will also try to change it a bit so there's more choice then just pick your what ever, cause it seems kind of lazy, though it takes a while to do this kind of thing, so bear with me the next contest probably won't be ready for an other week or two if I feel like it.

I completely forgot about the Christmas part. Would it have counted if I drew a quick santa hat on the guy?

[/quote]haha, I would have loved that, but no real problem that you people really didn't think about it, just not used to making chirstmas cards I guess.
