[hr]InuHERO

Creativity-wise, this archetype brings nothing new to the table with your typical effects and an almost Fire-King-like play style, I dislike that quite a few of your cards have nothing to do with the Archetype's gimmick. Balance and design-wise, this archetype does too much and has too much plus, for example, the Ninishi-esque effect of Wisdom would be enough already, but you just had to add that random draw effect, Courage is a reoccurring +1 that is bad design in the same way Treeborn Frog is and Triumph is atrocious, it’s effect is a +2 with the same loop potential as Dewloren.

2/5

 

[hr]Kabuki

Interesting to take on the gimmick of Monster Card Zones, I like that, now, you and your opponent have an additional thing to think about when playing the game.

 

There is a serious problem with Kuroko as, if it were attached as Xyz Material, it wouldn’t get banished, unless your intent is for it to be banished nevertheless and that is why it is worded as a Trigger Effect (there is no precedent, so I’ll pretend it is meant to be this way).

 

Otherwise, I like it. There aren’t any real problems with balance and it’s pretty playable.

4.8/5

 

[hr]Shrine Maiden

This archetype is quite powerful, it spams very easily and has some powerful destruction, but not to the point that it’s too overpowered. I like.

Mark:4.6/5

 

[hr]Aquan Abyss

I dislike the reliance on luck, but it’s otherwise fine.

4.5/5

 

[hr]Ledakan

This Deck is awfully inconsistent and has a hard time starting off, it has next to no swarming ability and the counters you put on cards is far too little to do anything useful.

Mark: 2.5/5

 

[hr]Statmen

I find the fact that they are Gustos that also work when destroyed by card effects really bothersome, especially Blocker, which has a once-per-turn cannot-be-destroyed clause and even when your opponent destroys it, you can just Special Summon another Statmen from your Deck and when that is destroyed, you can Special Summon this card again. Rinse and repeat. Your opponent would have to destroy up to a total of 13 times to clear you out. The only easy way to get rid of them would be to banish them or to take control of them, which the only Deck that can consistently do that are Dragon Rulers and Spellbook/Prophecies, so you are pushing their superiority even more. Statmen Empowerer is a rather silly and useless boss monster with it’s only merit being the Tiger King-esque effect, I’d rather use some other Xyz.

Mark: 4/5

 

[hr]Hydra

While this Archetype supports each other, Archetypes also have a particular theme, for example Lightsworns like to send the top cards of their Deck to the Graveyard and Dark Worlds focus on discarding. The problems with this archetype is that King Hydra is utterly broken and is an immediate win condition, Hydra’s Attack is an advanced version of Harpie’s Feather Duster and is quite broken and this Archetype receives tremendous support from Dragon Rulers.

Mark: 2/5

Feel free to argue my judging.

They are a theme, there Hydras and Hydra's Attack is nothing like Harpies Feather Duster, the only thing the same about it is the fact that it destroys all Traps and Spells but besides that the card is completely different. How does "Hydra King" (fusion) have a win condition, it's the same As Dark Magician of Chaos and how is it broken, details man!

Asking for details in judging? lel, look at your own contest.

 

Anyways, I should've joined this. I should join more contests really.

Don't insult my contest, beside don't feel down I'm going to host an even bigger contest next so join it and I'll give you I details on how your card is.

[swag swag swag swag swag s]

I don't think you know what insult is, also, I wont join a contest that takes over a month to complete with only 5 people in it and someone who can't judge a card with  more than "Very nice effect and ATK and DEF are balanced." Try harder m8.

[Harrison H]

Don't insult me. You can't blame me it was my first contest -_-

[swag swag swag swag swag s]

Don't insult me. You can't blame me it was my first contest -_-

 

That's still not an insult, and I bet I can do (much) better.

I'll stop now before dat warning comes.

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

details man!

While I do feel that the judging aren't elaborated enough in some parts, I would have had more things to complain about that than you do.

 

 

They are a theme, there Hydras

 

He said that your cards lack a theme; I agree. While they are Hydras, they need some kind of effect to tie them up together. HEROs and fusions, DW and Discarding, Lightsworn and milling, that sort of jazz. You don't get several cards that look aesthetically the same and call it an archetype. For all I know, I could make 10 cards with completely unrelated pictures/aesthetics minus the name, give them effects that support a theme, and it would be more deserving to be called an archetype than your Hydras. 

 

 

and Hydra's Attack is nothing like Harpies Feather Duster, the only thing the same about it is the fact that it destroys all Traps and Spells

 

Aix said that Hydra's Attack is broken. Well, it is. It's broken and you should never have deserved a higher point for making such a ridiculous and broken card. It's like Harpie Feather Duster with an innate burn effect, that enough is guaranteed to break any archetype.

 

 

How does "Hydra King" (fusion) have a win condition

 

What he means by "Win Condition" is a card so good, so unbalanced that you pretty much won the moment it is summoned. And personally, your King Hydra reeks of unbalanced-ness. It's immune to effects, has a 4000 body, Special Summons the materials if it's destroyed, has a burn effect and you still gave it the bonus of a popping a card once per turn? No please.

 

 

it's the same As Dark Magician of Chaos and how is it broken

 

You sort of proved how incompetent you are at Yu-Gi-Oh by saying that DMoC isn't broken. 

[Harrison H]

Ok ok I get your points

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

Don't insult me. You can't blame me it was my first contest -_-

 

It may be your first contest, but may I show you my first contest and it's judging?

There you go. Keep in mind this is only about 1+ month or so after I started being active, so you can't call me out on being experienced. 

inb4 warn

 

but yeah, I explained your cards and I showed you how to properly make a contest and how to judge them. 

 

Oh, and just so this isn't completely off topic, can you elaborate on my cards more, Axi? I mean, I never expected them to get second place, so I'm rather curious. 

[Harrison H]

Ok congrats you did well. Still you can't blame me
