To address the Level 3 suggestions with 1300atk, actually, a Level 2 is 1350 and even up to 1400 as a Normal Monster. So, his card should've been Level 2.

However, yes, the max ATK a Normal Monster should achieve at 4 or lower is 2000, and only if it is Level 4.

 

Normal Monsters

Level 1 ATK Cap: 1000

Level 2 ATK Cap: 1400

Level 3 ATK Cap: 1750

Level 4 ATK Cap: 2000

 

Now for effect monsters, it is different. They should never trumph or equal those caps at their respective Levels. exg. don't make a Level 4 Effect monster with 2000 ATK unless it has a hinderance of some kind. (See Goblin Attack Force/Zombrya the Dark for examples of Effect monsters that trumph 2000 ATK as Level 4 Effect monsters). Effect monsters ATK Caps should be viewed as:

 

Effect Monsters

Level 1 ATK Cap: 900

Level 2 ATK Cap: 1400

Level 3 ATK Cap: 1700

Level 4 ATK Cap: 1900

 

Remember the above is if they don't have a drawback to attacking/ATK in general and only have beneficial effects for the game OR cards with conditional Summoning requirements, something you should wait to dive into if you're a newbie.

It's better, but the level is a little low for the cards stats (ATK/DEF) For something with ATK or DEF of 1300 or less I recommend you make it a level three (give it 3 stars) and appropriately level it from there. Monster's with 2000 or more ATK are typically level 5 or higher, with the occasional couple cards that have drawbacks to make their high attack and ability to summon without a tribute more balanced. For example, Goblin Warriors is level 4, has 2100 ATK, but when he attacks he switches to defense mode. It all depends on what the effect is, what the ATK and DEF are, stuff like that.

What is yu-gi-ho?

 

If you mean ATK and DEF, that really depends on how hard a card is to Summon.

 

3300 ATK is the highest ATK of a Normal Summonable monster, I believe (Super Conductor Tyranno).

 

Something that's abusable or gives too much card advantage without sufficient drawbacks or restrictions.

 

It depends which card type you are looking at. Toon monsters are cartoon versions of monsters pretty much only really usable with Toon World.

 

Depends on the drawbacks, costs and abusability of the Spell Card.

 

You have 8000 Life Points. Take good care of it.

Okay, I typed up a fair amount of stuff to help, but I lost it, so I'll try to type this up as condensed and fast as possible.

 

Cards usually use something called "PSCT", which means 'Problem-Solving Card Text'. There are specific terms used for writing the effect of the card, and some hard and fast rules. It would serve you well to research these to the best of your ability, as these are standard-- they make cards easier to understand, and make rulings simpler. As it stands, I'm not quite sure what your card is supposed to do, to be frank-- if you reply with an outright response of what it's supposed to do, I'll word it for you.

 

The thing next to where it says "/ EFFECT" is Type. Like Dark Magician is a 'Spellcaster', and Elemental HERO Neos and Number 39: Utopia are the 'Warrior' type. Creating your own Type (Dark Aura, in this case) is usually not recommended, as it's only been done once by Konami (when they created the 'Psychic' Type), and creating your own generally removes support for your monster it otherwise might have had. That card would fit well as a 'Fiend' Type, and would have much more cards that would help support it.

 

Below the picture, on the left, where you put 'Star Village' is usually where you denote whether the card is 1st Edition or not-- meaning, the card was from the first printing run of the set.

 

To the right of that, where in between the art and the effect you put "DARK AURA" once more, is usually where the set number and the card number goes. If you want to use this, generally speaking, use the format SETN-LN999, where 'SETN' is the abbreviation of the set name, useful if you want to make a booster pack. 'LN' is the one or two letter abbreviation of the language or region the card was printed in. Usually, we'd use EN for English cards released in the United States. '999' represents the number of the card in the set-- usually goes up to only around 200, and that's for big sets. If you're not making a fictional booster pack or set, it'd be fair just to leave that blank.

 

Hope this was useful in later endeavors. Ask me if you have any questions.
