Atypical-Abbie Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Code the Duelist brought some random support for Machine-Type and Dark monsters with 0 DEF in an indirect way since they both had something to do with each other, but also nothing to do with each other. Well, here's a card that makes use of a few of those monsters, and also can be used in a lot of other DARK Decks. If there are no monsters on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in Defense Position. This card can be treated as 2 Tributes for the Tribute Summon of a DARK monster with 0 DEF. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 of your banished DARK monsters; place it on the top or bottom of your Deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Should be named "Engine of Dankness" instead :v Bad joke aside, it's an average card, IMO. No monster on the field is a difficult clause to fulfill, mostly only achievable during the first turn, but hey, at the very least it doesn't need a monster like Cydra, so that's a plus. Then the 2nd effect, not sure what it's supposed to support, a first glance on a list of Level7~8 DARKs with 0 DEF doesn't show anything noteworthy; well, maybe Gandora. Last effect isn't too impressive either; I dare to say you can get away with adding that monster to the hand instead; then it would have a nice synergy with Allure of Darkness.

I posted about that in the OP, that's what it's designed for, read up on the cards in COTD and you'll understand the idea of this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yeah, I saw them, and all I found was that Level 8 Machine, but it is still isn't too impressive IMO due to it not affecting Xyz nor Links; and this card doesn't really help it that much with the "no monsters on the field" inherent summon condition. Also, you could be nice and link those cards in the OP and further elaborate how exactly this card is intended to work with them, because at first glance it's vague.

I don't see how it's my responsibility to stay up to date on the cards, that should be the reviewer's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I don't see how it's my responsibility to stay up to date on the cards, that should be the reviewer's job. Actually, it falls in the requirements of design notes. It's kind of rude to just drop a card and say "I made this, now you figure out how it can be used and how good it is". https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/321479-ycm-advanced-card-designs-rules-updated-3292017/?p=6994851 Also it's good to give the reviewer an idea of how is your card intended to work, rather than assume and expect them to be always up to date and aware of all cards in the game and what's going on in the formats and its trends; and what's not going on too, because you may intent to support a niche-ish or underused deck, archetype or set of cards that not everyone is familiar with. Case in point, these latest DARK/Machines with 0 DEF with seemingly no synergy between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
