[Finished]Team Archetype Contest [FINISHED]

[wightpower]

Hopefully they'll get back to you soon. I might need to finally put a limit on this one now that the first team has sent in their cards. For now, the new deadline is next Monday, the 12th. I'd like at least two teams to finish before I shut down the contest.

 

(also, feel free to PM me anything you've made, just so I know what's going on)

[wightpower]

Alright guys, that's the deadline. I think I'm going to have to call this contest a bust. Sorry. Only one team managed to finish their cards in time, so if no one else has anything to add, I'll officially declare this one over.

[wightpower]

I guess that's it then. I officially declare this contest finished. The winner by default is Team 3 (Aqua, RampageXWolf, and Nerdboy).

 

Because of how this contest totally fell apart, Instead of the big prize per member, I'm going to instead award any of you 5 points per card that you made, to make up for your hard work. I hope you guys will still post your cards or keep working on them in the multiple cards section of the forum. I'd hate for your hard work to go to waste unnoticed. So, if you can, PM me with any cards your group already finished, and I'll reimburse you with some points.

 

I'm still glad I went through with this, even if it didn't quite work out. I might try a similar idea in the future, but I'll have to think of a way to correct any communication concerns and make up for timing problems. I think a big problem with this one was difficulty in getting you guys together enough to finish your archetypes, so if I can figure a way to fix that next time, I might like to try another team-up contest in the future. Anyway, thanks for taking part, and I hope you guys will join me for my next contest, which will probably be smaller-scale.

Would you mine posting our cards, as well as other teams' cards (if they submit) here? I'm curious for our rival's archetype concept, also it's a chance to get some CnC here b4 posting them in MC section

I thought it was a pretty cool idea. The description they sent me was: Well we made "Mirage Guardian" archetype, it based on EARTH Dragon-Type monsters, which effect monsters have names involving the legendary creatures, and both of the Xyz monsters' names referred the mythology trees, their effects are based on returning themselves to the Graveyard along with giving you the benefit when they are banished (except from the Graveyard) which have great synergy with the first boss, Yggdrasil, who has an effect that allow you to SS a monster from the Graveyard, but banishing the revived monster instead of normally leaving the field, this prevent the abuse of other monsters, as well as triggering Mirage Guardians' effect, and if you still control Yggdrasil when you're able to Xyz again, you're now ready to finish the game with the powerful boss, Glasir, who can't be Summoned unless you control a "Mirage Guardian" Xyz monster. They can also make a little combo in themselves, such as using Leyline to SS Elderly Dragon while banishing something like Firnen to banishing another card and place 1 counter, etc. this archetype also have synergy with some well-known cards such as Gold Sarcophagus which can banish a card directly from the Deck without any setup or Redox, who can banish 2 Mirage Guardians in your hand to SS itself and triggering their effects at the same time!
