No. The contest is in its final stages as it is.

@Striker: Thanks for the judgement. I'm glad I at least got a positive review. Was a pretty fun image to draw.

 

I really want to see the other cards now, though. Still not sure what everyone else made.

[Mighty Joe Young]

ShootingStardust (Pegasus)
[spoiler=Life Pegasus]


3 Level 5 monsters
Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 Fairy-type monster you control, equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. While equipped by this effect, the equipped monster gains 500 ATK and DEF. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union monster at a time.) If the equipped monster is destroyed, you can special summon this card from your grave in face-up attack position and attached the destroyed monster to this card. Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to gain life points equal to the number of cards on the field x200.

OCG : 6/10
Balance: 4/10
Creativity: 5/10
Other: 3/10
Total: 18/40

Capitalize key terms such as "Attack Position" and "Special Summon", also the PSCT for the last effect. No one would run a 3 mat rank 5 for a 500 ATK/DEF Union. Unoriginal and a bit underpowered (Only 200 Life Points per card?) and nothing to do with a Pegasus except in name.

wightpower (Cadejo)
[spoiler=Cadejo]

Effect: Cannot be Special Summoned, except by its own effect. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up, banish 1 card from your opponent's hand, and if you do, your opponent can add 1 card from their Graveyard to their hand. Once per turn, during either player's turn, if this card is in your Graveyard: You can banish 1 card from your hand; Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position.

OCG: 10/10
Balance: 8/10
Creativity: 9/10
Other: 9/10
Total: 36/40

The effect banishes a card directly from the opponent's hands, but is balanced out since they return a card from their Graveyard to their hand. Not sure where this would be played other than a Spirit or Chaos deck.
[/spoiler]

TEM 23 (Winged Lion)
[spoiler=Limeryfon, Celestial Lion]


Effect:
Cannot be Normal Summoned or set. Must first be Special Summoned by banishing 3 Winged Beast-type monsters from your graveyard. During the End Phase, if this card destroyed an opponent's monster by battle this turn; Destroy all other monsters your opponent controls that were not targeted for an attack this turn. This card must remain face-up on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.

OCG: 9/10
Balance: 4/10
Creativity: 6/10
Other: 7/10
Total: 26/40

Too easy to bring this out. With the off chance that you have Honest in your hand, almost guaranteed to destroy all of your opponent's monsters. Not typically what Winged Beast-type monsters do, and I'm not sure how this would fit into a Winged Beast-type deck.

Prime-Ace John (Echidna)
[spoiler=Reptilianne Echidna]

REPTILIANNE ECHIDNA

DARK

* * * *

[Reptile / Xyz / Effect]

3 level 4 Reptile-Type monsters

You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a face-up level 6 or higher "Reptilianne" monster you control as Xyz Material (monsters in either players' Graveyards used as material to summon that monster is attached to this card as Xyz Materials). Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate 1 of the following effects:

- Reduce the ATK of all monsters your opponent controls to 0 ATK.

- Negate the effect of a monster on the field with 0 ATK.

- Banish 1 monster on the field with 0 ATK. This card cannot attack the turn you use this effect.

ATK/ 2800 DEF/ 600

OCG: 9/10
Balance: 9/10
Creativity: 8/10
Other: 10/10
Total: 36/40

Even though there is an alternate Summoning condition, there is such a small pool (currently 3) of monsters that it still balanced. It is also consistent with the rest of the "Reptilianne" 0 ATK effects. Slightly high ATK for rank 4, but 600 DEF seems a fair trade-off.
[/spoiler]

-Aqua- (Dragon)
[spoiler=Breeze-Eyes Sky Dragon]

Once per turn, during your turn: You can target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target (This is a quick effect). If this card battles a monster; it is unaffected by that monster effect until the end of the Damage Step.

OCG: 9/10
Balance: 8/10
Creativity: 5/10
Other: 8/10
Total: 29/40

Not overpowered, maybe slightly underpowered, but it's effects are not anything new or incredibly impressive.
