A friend and I have been contemplating a unique way to make a Chaos set, incorporating Light and Dark cards. The envoys were an obvious flop, so we looked for something better than just making strong light and dark cards then broken chaos cards. So, we came to this. Light Counters and Dark Counters. We broke the work up between us. I'm working on the Light Counter cards, and he's working on the Dark Counter cards, then we're going to collaborate on the Chaos Cards, which will use both Light and Dark Counters.

 

The operant thing about Light [and Dark] Counters that differs them from other counters is that you keep your own reserve of Counters, instead of placing them on monsters. In essence, the wording changes from "Add 1 counter to this card" to "You gain 1 counter" and "Pay 1 counter" instead of "Remove 1 counter from this card."

 

Now that everything's more clear, here are the cards I've created thusfar:

 

 

Temporal Warrior - LIGHT

4/Warrior/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned, you gain 1 Light Counter. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can pay 3 Light Counters to Special Summon this card to your field.

1650/1700

 

D.D. Lightbringer - LIGHT

2/Spellcaster/Effect

When this card is removed from play from your field, you gain 2 Light Counters.

400/750

 

Mystic Cleric - LIGHT

3/Spellcaster/Effect

Whenever you gain Life Points, you gain 1 Light Counter for each multiple of 500 Life Points gained. When this card is destroyed, you gain 300 Life Points for each of your Light Counters.

1100/1400

 

Paladin of Guidance - LIGHT

3/Warrior/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned, you gain 1 Light Counter for each of your face-up "Paladin" monsters (except this card). When this card is Summoned, you can add 1 LIGHT monster with a level that is equal to or less than half of your Light Counters from your Deck to your hand. You cannot select "Paladin of Guidance" with this effect.

1300/1000

 

Paladin of Justice - LIGHT

4/Warrior/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned, you gain 1 Light Counter for each of your face-up "Paladin" monsters (except this card). When this card battles a monster, you can pay 2 Light Counters to negate the effect(s) of the opponent's monster.

1900/1600

 

Paladin of Bravery - LIGHT

4/Warrior/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned, you gain 1 Light Counter for each of your face-up "Paladin" monsters (except this card). When this card attacks a monster with higher ATK than this card, you can pay a number of Light Counters equal to the difference in ATK x 200 to destroy the opponent's monster.

1700/1400

 

Paladin of Courage - LIGHT

3/Warrior/Effect

Innovative, to say the least. This reminds me of the mana system that some TCG's have, but incorporated into the YGO rules. S/T's would be helpful for me to give a general rating, but I'll take what I got, along with a question on rulings. Can Kykendia be Normal Summoned / Set?

 

Pro's and Cons

+ Innovative

+ Balance

- No S/T's yet

 

Rating: 8 / 10.

Some wording issues. Still in its early stages though so it dont matter as of yet.

 

I havent read the Spell and Trap Cards yet, but already I can see the makings of a set that once made everyone will think is great and love. I dont think any of them is unbalanced.

 

Pictures for all of those cards maybe hard to come by though. Are you going to make them into cards?
