[spoiler=Lore]Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 3 DARK monsters you control. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you Summon this card. When this card battles: Banish 1 DARK monster from your hand or Graveyard; inflict damage to the defending monster's controller equal to the combined ATK of all monsters they control, then negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. When this card is destroyed: You can banish it; your opponent loses 1000 life points.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

I have issues with contests that have very wide criteria like this.

 

"Any monster that has the "No Normal Summon/Set" restriction" covers a lot - not just monsters that have only that sentence as their Summon restriction, but it also encompasses Nomis and semi-Nomis. Granted, the sky's the limit for creativity, but it goes both ways - it's very possible for someone to create a carbon copy of an existing card and slap on the restriction, and still be legible.

 

Not to mention the design goal isn't clear. What kind of effects should I aim for? Something generic, or something flavourful? Something to support an existing archetype? Something that works with the game in a way never seen before? It's the endless possibilities that trap me in a position where I can't find a good direction to go.

 

This is just my two cents on contests like these. Others may think differently.

 

Coincidentally, I'm not as fond of sandbox-style games for roughly the same reason.

Thanks for helping me. I edited the criteria so you can take a look at it.
Don't worry, Degritone. Your card still meets the criteria.

Don't edit the criteria on a whim, especially after members have submitted for it.

 

You'll have to think through it carefully before even penning it down, and if you want to double back there's a short time before people begin signing up.

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Cannot be Special Summoned except by its own effect. You can banish 3 "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl" monsters from your side of the field, hand, or Graveyard; Special Summon this card. Monsters from the Extra Deck cannot activate their effects. When this card would leave the field: banish this card; Special Summon the monsters banished for this card's Summon.

[spoiler=Lore]Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.

Once per turn, you can target 1 Machine-Type monster in your Hand or Graveyard; equip that target to this card. This card's ATK is equal to the total Levels of all monsters equipped to it x200. While face-up on the field, this card is also treated as Machine-Type.[/spoiler]

Cannot be Normal Summon/Set. Must be Special Summoned by the effect of a "Madolche" Card. And cannot be Special Summoned other ways. While you control a "Madolche" Spell/Trap Card this card is also Fairy-Type. When this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or by card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Shuffle this card into the Deck. When this card is Special Summoned: Shuffle 1 card on the field into the Deck.

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Cannot be Special Summoned unless you control no Special Summoned monsters. If your opponent controls a Special Summoned monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Special Summoned OR when your opponent Special Summoned a monster: Target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls; while this card is face-up on the field, take control of that target. If this effect is activated, this card cannot be destroyed by battle until the end of this turn, also your opponent takes no damage until then. You can only use the effect of "Illya, the Illusion Charmer" once per turn.
