CARD B

3 Level 4 monsters
When this monster is Xyz Summoned, you can Pay Life Points in multiples of 1000 to attach 1 additional Xyz Material from your Graveyard (Max 5) to this face-up monster for each 1000 Life Points paid. When this monster destroys a monster in battle, you can detach 1 Xyz material to Draw 1 card from your Deck. Once per turn during your Draw Phase, you can detach 1 Xyz material from this monster and Banish 2 monsters from your Graveyard to Draw 1 card. When there is no Xyz materials on this monster, Banish it and discard your hand.

Want to try? I'm trying to get back into the swing of things once more. 

[J-Max]

I accept ^^ feel free to PM me your card and I will post it in the opening. Please leave all means of identifying the person who designed it off of the card.

[PAINTAIN GOD OF DUNDA MT.]

Just a question. Would Artwork of the card affect the judging? 

[J-Max]

Not that I know of... The effect is more important but some people also like nice art to go with it. If you are worried then by all means go written.

[PAINTAIN GOD OF DUNDA MT.]

Thank you. (Not that it matters anyways, for some reason GIMP is crapping out on me, so I'll try and find a nice picture some where. )

Cards are now up. First to 3 Votes wins!

First things first: the requirement is a Rank 4 monster? You might as well have said "make a card", given how generic and versatile Rank 4 is.

Ugh, both cards are terrible, to boot. But I have to vote Card B.

Card A's a luck based card that isn't worth making. That's all there i to it. Luck is terrible design in general, and while there's some sorta-kinda flavor going on with this and Crazy Box, it has none of Crazy Box' utility and most of its bad design.

Card B is... underwhelming yet badly designed.

3 Level 4s for a 2K beater. Um... why? Could it not have been 2400 or so? I mean, I wouldn't make this over Number 10, and that's saying something. It's a 2K that draw when it kills something, 400 more attack would hardly break it.

The latter effect also begs to be exploited, though it's slow. If you're banishing in a deck that can make this thing without a heavy minus, you can drop Bujinki Amaterasu to profit off of this card.

And hell, this card will almost never run out of materials. Yes, Temtempo the Percussion Djinn exists... that is the only competent card that exists that can detach materials. Thus rendering the last effect "don't detach just use me twice". I highly doubt anyone's going to attach materials to this, seeing as there are no cards (Bar HB Leo and such, but again, mediocre 3 mat) that benefit from simply being attached. I mean, if it gained 200 per mat or something, that would be reasonable. But it doesn't. It sits and does nothing but be a mediocre 2K beater that will rarely ever resolve, much less be made.

It would be a decent 2 mat if you removed the second and third effect altogether, but as is, it's just a bad addition to a versatile cardpool. Alternately as a 3 mat that gains 200 per with the second effects removed, but 2K 2 mat still seems better.

Only reason B gets the vote is that A's a luck based card, and a competent card designer should not support the existence of such. I'd honestly rather vote option C.

You can vote Card C if you wanted to instead of picking the lesser of two evils.

 

Well, I'm going to have to go Card C here. Card A's luck factor is just a big no. You can never rely on a luck card to get anything, and that immediately disqualifies this card from any competitive play. Card B is a 3 Mat monster with 2000 ATK. Also, it requires destruction by battle for its first draw effect and banishing for its second. I would scream OP'd if this card was faster, but this card is too slow and too weak to do anything of merit.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I can guess whose card is which, given the artwork selections of each.

 

That aside, some generalized CnC for both, then deciding a winner. I rather not vote card C because that doesn't really help things go along IMO.

 

Card A, as Black and Striker already mentioned, is luck-based. Unless you run Dice Re-Roll (or w/e it's called) OR some other cards to adjust any rolls, it's already gimmicky.

 

Card B, while it does have the potential to have 8 materials, it does take a burden on your LP to do so. While the drawing effect might seem OPed, considering any form of draw effects need to be dealt with carefully, with the current meta in mind (this has 2000 ATK compared to common stuff like 101 and the like), it may not have chance to pull it off as often as you'd want it. It adds an extra draw during the Draw Phase, but costs another material and a heavy banish. Stat-wise. 2000/1200 would've fit better on a 2-mat [making it 2400 ATK or something may have given it some more utility, but not enough to break it]

 

If it dies though, your hand goes along with it.

 

 

I'll vote card B because it's not reliant on chance (even though it's slow to pull off)

woa this probably the 2nd 1v1 that I'd like to vote Card C and that gave me some question

WHY NOT I JUST F***** ACTIVE AT THE TIME YOU FINDING THE OPPONENT!!!!, (this also says to that last contest I voted)

let's see

 

Card A is... yea., a worse 85 but this really can't do anything and Card B is a very weak beater for a 3-mat R4, to fully use it you need to use stall Deck with cards that weaken opponent's monsters, still it's quite suck

 

so yea Card B is better, but if Voting Card C twice in a row is not illegal, I'd vote Card C

Card C vote is accepted if that is what you want to do.

I am confused with the current standings o_o. Thanks for the CnC so far on both cards though.

It's 0-2-2 as far as I can tell since Black went B instead of C. A Card C vote just means that neither card wins.

[RampageXWolf]

Like everyone mentioned, Card A is a luck-based card, it's focus on defensive-play, all of its effect except for 3 and 5 are quite useless. Card B is very weak in both status and effects. Need to destroy something by battle is really hard when there is a bunch of removal cards out there

Both cards suck, but at least Card B is better than Card A, so my vote go for Card B

[J-Max]

Card B wins 3-0. Thanks for the Votes guys. I will do better next time but a win is a win.
