jharper did not get a score since the actual cards never got to me. Next time, don't use attachments. Anyways, here's the scores for the remaining cards.

 

[spoiler=ShootingStardust]

Card Grammar: 8/10

Balance: 4/10

Playability: 0/10

Creativity: 5/10

Other: 6/10

Overall: 25/50

 

Honestly, this card would never be used. All it does is increase the ATK of Fairy-Type monsters or act as a healer. As a 3 Material Rank 5, those effects aren't worth the effort. With that said, this card is extremely underpowered given the effort required. Your card grammar is off with the union text. You could have done a lot more with the theme you were going for, so I'm not impressed.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=wightpower]

Card Grammar: 9/10

Balance: 8/10

Playability: 7/10

Creativity: 8/10

Other: 8/10

Overall: 40/50

 

This card does make you think about what's in your opponent's Graveyard. With that said, I see this card being used more in the early game than anything else. Also, the low ATK does make me worry a bit tbh. The second effect wouldn't be used as it is essentially a -1 to avoid a direct attack: a -1 that wouldn't be much used being banished. Overall, it's alright but there are things to work on.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=TEM 23]

Card Grammar: 9/10

Balance: 7/10

Playability: 6/10

Creativity: 8/10

Other: 9/10

Overall: 39/50

 

Powerful effect, yet the Summoning requirements kill it a bit. Winged Beasts aren't very prevalent in the current meta, and the Decks that are wouldn't really welcome a card like this. The fact that it requires it to destroy a monster by battle is risky given the number of Traps around that deals with battle. Also, the lack of protection makes it susceptible to removal. It's okay, though you did miss somethings.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Prime-Ace John]

Card Grammar: 8/10

Balance: 8/10

Playability: 9/10

Creativity: 10/10

Other: 10/10

Overall: 45/50

 

Wow. I did not see this coming from you at all. The flavor is beautiful and the amount of effort put into the creative aspect is astounding. The card grammar could use some work, but I understand what you are going for. Giving this card an alternative Summoning requirement does open up more use for this. The other effects cooperate with what the other monsters have done, so it doesn't try to do everything by itself. Well done, very good job.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=-Aqua-]

Card Grammar: 9/10

Balance: 7/10

Playability: 5/10

Creativity: 6/10

Other: 7/10

Overall: 34/50

 

The first effect is just another MST that can only be used on your turn. The other effect just lets it attack with less worries, though it doesn't prevent Spells/Traps from getting to it. In fact, the first effect encourages blind MST play and that should not be allowed. Honestly, I was expecting more from you.
