Therrion Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sure, why not, right? Card due by 11:59PM tomorrow (29 hours from now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sure, why not, right? Card due by 11:59PM tomorrow (29 hours from now) Well, I accepted the challenge during your inactive period, so both cards are up or something. Also, I have now acquired photographic evidence that if anyone copied anyone with the theme of the card, it was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 ...Okay? Mine was meant to work with Aztek and Doom Dozer, and such was true when I first posted this contest. Plus, our cards are different in many ways, so I don't think there is a problem. True, both add to hand, however, that is the go to for supporting something (such as a Type).

Therrion Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Really? Well then, I guess post the rule that states as such and we'll close it then. It ends at 1 vote, or by the end of the day the first vote is made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wightpower Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've never commented on one of these things before, and I hate to be the tiebreaker, but here goes. Both of these are really cool, and even though I'm not a fan of xyz monsters I feel like these are both excellent support for them. I don't usually give walls of text in my reviews, so I'll try and get to the point: I vote for Shimmer Swallowtail. Love the name, love the image, and I feel like its effect is just a little more streamlined and splashable than Stalking Mantis. I really like Stalking Mantis, too, but I feel like Swallowtail has that "Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon beatstick" sort of appeal that I love in 5-star monsters. Even though Stalking Mantis has more effects and its stats are just as solid for its level, it came across to me as one long situational chain to ultimately get an 8-star monster on your field while adding insects and banished cards into the game along the way (which I'll admit is also very cool, and this card still gets a lot of points for that. Very well done). I'm the kind of guy who prefers a card with simple but potent effects that I won't easily forget while I'm dueling (seriously, I forget my own effects so often in duels I'd have to double check Mantis a dozen times every turn just to see if I missed anything). Mantis gets a hell of a lot of props from me for its labyrinth of awesome effects, but I'm still giving Swallowtail the vote for its flavor and its solid effect and stats. I don't know who is responsible for which card, but you both did an excellent job, and I really hope you guys get some more votes or reviews on these.

Also, found the rule: 14. If the deadline expires and both people are tied, then the 1v1 must be called a draw. I. Only exception is if it is 0-0, then the 1v1 has a 24 extension before it is aborted (voided). (Furthermore, Striker said it was okay.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Wouldn't that make it end on the 27th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Wouldn't that make it end on the 27th? Considering the lack of activity, I plan to amend rule 14 so that overtime extends to when a vote is done or when the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
