Premier Alexander Romanov Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Alright. We have plenty of topics in here dedicated to making good cards.But what about one where we do our best to make some of the most poorly-thought-out, most situational, and most ridiculous cards ever?Da Rulez:1. The first person will provide either a name, part of an effect, ask for "support" for an archetype or series, or a rough description of what to have the card do.2. The next person will make said card, then provide their own prompt.3. This continues ad infinitum.4. The challenge isn't to just make absolute garbage. It's to make something that, upon a cursory glance, COULD be used, but really SHOULDN'T be used. These cards do have to comply with PSCT and follow the guidelines of this subforum.5. To reiterate, these aren't joke cards. Just cards that are considered jokes by the meta.6. A good guideline is MtG, and how it has cards that are objectively worse than others. That's what we're aiming for. Schmuck bait.7. And please, have fun, be civil, and most of all, be creative.To kick us off, I want a draw card that is a worse Pot of Desires. Something that gives you 2 cards for the mechanical equivalent of your firstborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anmar7779 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Pot of IntermissionNormal SpellOnce per turn, at the start of your Main Phase 1, Draw 2 cards, then it becomes the End Phase A card that at first seems like it will make Amorphage meta, but then you realize it wouldn't even be ran.

Draconus297 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 [spoiler= Ninja]Catastrophic Cards Normal SpellIf 5 or more of your cards have been destroyed this turn: Draw 2 cards. During the End Phase, your opponent selects and activates 1 of the following effects:●Both players discard 1 card. ●Both players Special Summon 1 monster from their Graveyard in face-up Attack Position with its effects negated and its ATK reduced to 0.You can only activate 1 "Catastrophic Cards" per turn. Not only is the activation condition not happening in any Deck that isn't Rokkets or Fire Kings, but your opponent is the one to choose whether you both have to discard or you both get a monster back . . . and said monster returns literally helpless during the End Phase, meaning that you'll be eating damage as a point of fact if your opponent does let you get something back. Amorphage DragonfectionContinuous TrapDuring your Standby Phase: Special Summon 1 "Amorphage" monster that is face-up in your Extra Deck. During the turn you activate this effect, you cannot Normal Summon/Set, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck, except Dragon-Type monsters. During your opponent's End Phase, if they control no monsters: Draw 1 card. Give us the old standby- a battle Trap that does a thing, but is just way too slow for competitive play.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Relieving ForceTrap/ContinuousAt the end of the Battle Phase, if you took battle damage: You can target 1 Warrior monster you control; gain LP equal to its ATK.This one isn't slow. It's downright glacial.It assumes so many things about your boardstate that honestly, even considering Warriors are one of the most prevalent Types in the game, you wouldn't use this unless you were running something involving LP gain, like Aromas.Hope this fits the prompt, if not, skip my next prompt.A powerful monster that is designed specifically to counter a specific type of card. Think Orient Dragon and the Meklords for Synchros, or Invader of Darkness for Quick-Plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 That's not even a battle Trap. Battle Traps, by nature, stop or interfere with a battle in some way, usually requiring your opponent to actually attack before triggering (Mirror Forces, Sakuretsu, D-Prison, Draining Shield, etc.), and what I'd been looking for was one that sounded decent, but was garbage due to just being a battle Trap. That said, I'll still do your prompt. Code Interference ZoneContinuous Spell The first Cyberse-Type monster Summoned each turn is destroyed. The first Link monster Summoned each turn is returned to the Extra Deck. Please note that the latter restriction hurts you, too, so your first Link each turn gets auto-bounced, too- meaning that you're unlikely to get any serious plays going. It is a floodgate that sounds half-decent at first glance, but doesn't accomplish much in the face of more competitively tested floodgates like Vanity's. A fodder card that's years too late, filling a niche no one cares about anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkibaSilver Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Limited SacificeTrap CardIf your opponent would Tribute Summon a monster that requires 2 tributes: negate that summon, then Special Summon 1 monster that would require 2 tributes from your hand. Maybe useful if you run a blue-eyes deck against a blue-eyes deck, but who would actually tribute summon in those?Next: A monster than hurts you more than it hurts your opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Fallen of ThunderDARK/Thunder/Effect/Level 10/3900 ATK/3500 DEFCannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters, including at least 1 Thunder monster. During your Main Phase: You can pay 5000 LP; destroy all cards on your opponent's side of the field, and if you do, inflict 3000 damage to your opponent, but skip your Battle Phase this turn. You can only use this effect of "The Fallen of Thunder" once per turn.A card for a GX-era or 5D's-era archetype that causes burning when the archetype doesn't, and doesn't really help the archetype as a whole.Bonus points if you understand what I'm referring to.Even more bonus points if you do this to an archetype that doesn't already have such a card.

Krashkube Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 5D's era generally revolves around incredibly specific effects rather than random burn imo Arcana GuidanceNormal TrapIf you control an "Arcana Force" monster: Flip a coin and apply the following effects based on the result:* Heads: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each "Arcana Force" monster you control.* Tails: Take 300 damage for each card your opponent controls. Next: Something that would only maybe see play in an older format (goat, TeleDAD etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Trade DetonationNormal Trap If your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster: Special Summon 1 monster of equal or higher Level than that monster from your Deck to your opponent's field, then destroy the Summoned monster. During the End Phase, take control of the monster you Summoned to your opponent's field this way with its effects negated. This could definitely have seen use in Agent variants, giving your opponent one of your big boys that can't be effectively used for Synchro or Xyz plays . . . but it's an unsearchable Normal Trap that could possibly just help your opponent make a bigger boss to screw you over with. Make something that just screams "lategame anime boss"- an immensely powerful effect for a card you're never actually going to be able to activate/Summon.

AkibaSilver Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Unstoppable Elemental Overlord, VarishaLevel 12 | Fire | Warrior | EffectCannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Can only be Special Summoned (from your hand) by banishing 1 Level 8 Warrior monster from each of the following attributes (EARTH, FIRE, WIND, WATER, LIGHT, DARK) from your GY, including 1+ Synchro monster(s), 1+ Fusion monster(s) and 1+ Ritual Monster(s). Card effects cannot be activated in response to this card's Special Summon. This card is also treated as an EARTH, WIND, WATER, LIGHT and DARK attribute monster. Once per turn: destroy all cards on your opponent's field, then they discard their hand. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated. This card cannot leave the field due to card effects. When this card leaves the field: your opponent loses 2000 LP.4500 ATK 3500 DEF Oof, that seems pretty OP but unplayable as heck. Next: An Xyz that's an inferior version of another Xyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Soul Maga FIRE - Rank 3 - Rock/Xyz/Effect - 1300/20002 Level 3 monstersYou can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. If this card battles your opponent's Special Summoned monster, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: This card gains ATK equal to its original ATK, until the End Phase. It's a strictly weaker Rank 3 Gagaga Cowboy in both effects, with the only possible benefits being the ability to use both effects reliably in the same turn. A "consistency" card (drawing/searching) that's too slow to matter and/or has a tiny target pool that lacks anything relevant to anything (eg. Level 5+ Rock monsters or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krashkube Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Gradual InvestmentContinuous SpellDuring your End Phase, you can send this card to the GY to draw 1 card for every turn this card has been on the field. "chain MST, k?" next: A decent card bogged down by various restrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bringerofcake Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yowza, this really flexes the creative muscles. Full Powered Burst!Normal SpellBanish 1 card on the field, facedown. You cannot Summon, or add cards from your Deck to your hand, during the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Full Powered Burst!" per Duel. An extremely random Pendulum monster that has lackluster effects revolving around its scale number (think like Metrognome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Dowsing Hot RodFIRE/Machine/Pendulum/Effect/Level 5/1700 ATK/2300 DEF7 < Scale > 7Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, if you have a card in your other Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster in your opponent's Monster Card Zone or Pendulum Zone that has a Scale between this card's Scale and the Scale of the card in your other Pendulum Zone; destroy it.Monster Effect: If this card's Scale is higher or lower than the Scale(s) of all Pendulum Monsters your opponent controls, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a Pendulum Monster: Increase this card's ATK and DEF by the Scale of the opposing Pendulum Monster x 200. Since neither I nor Draconus had prompts done right, choose one of the following: - A battle Trap that does something, but is too slow for competitive play. - A powerful monster that is designed specifically to counter a specific type of card.

AkibaSilver Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Cracked MirrorTrap Card (Quick Play)When your opponent declares an attack: the opponent loses LP equal to half the attacking monster's DEF. The only use I can maybe see of this is if they've been playing a lot of self-burn cards, otherwise this probably won't bring them down to 0. Next: Another extremely situational Elemental HERO Fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krashkube Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Elemental HERO Tomb ThiefDARK | Warrior | Level 7 | Fusion | Effect"Elemental HERO Necroshade" + "Elemental Hero Avian"When this card is Fusion Summoned, send the top 5 cards of both players' decks to the GY. Once per turn, when your opponent Normal Summons a monster: They must discard 1 card. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for every card in their GY.2400/2200 *could* be good against Lawnmowing decks but really isn't that great anyways next: A Trap with an extremely situational effect (steal one of Yusei's if you want a get out of jail free card here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkibaSilver Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Stardust DiversionTrap CardIf a monster with 2500 ATK would be destroyed by battle: you can Special Summon 1 monster of the same type from the GY, ignoring its summoning conditions, then change the target to that card. During the end phase: destroy the monster Special Summoned by this effect.

jotaxper3 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Overlay Network CollapseNormal SpellPay 2000; Detach all materials of all XYZ monsters on the field.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Something Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon levels of ridiculousness then? (Or you just want something that isn't worth running in its own archetype) Adjudicator Severus the Forbidden Lightsworn DeityLevel 10 | LIGHT | Spellcaster | Effect?/?Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned from your hand by banishing 5 "Lightsworn" monsters with different names you control and/or from your GY, face-down. This card gains 800 ATK/DEF for each monster banished by this effect. You cannot Normal/Special Summon other monsters the turn you activate this effect (but you can Normal Set). When this card is Special Summoned: Declare 1 card type; your opponent banishes all cards of the declared type from their Deck. Once per turn, during your End Phase: Send the top 5 card of your Deck to the GY. Let's see, this thing banishes face-down so Punishment Dragon cannot count it; you can't summon anything else the turn you play this and well, it mills more cards than Judgment Dragon's maintenance thing. (Also picked LS for lack of better archetypes to give a boss with overkill restrictions) Next: Anime-esque Main Deck monster that's too gimmicky to play with in the current day and age.

Draconus297 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Emperor DawnslayerDARK - Level 8 - Warrior/Effect - 1000/0During your End Phase, if this card is banished: You can Special Summon this card. Once per turn, during your opponent's turn, you can banish 1 monster from your Graveyard to target 1 monster your opponent controls: That target loses 300 ATK and DEF, also, if it was an Effect Monster, its effects are negated and it cannot attack this turn. If the ATK of a monster your opponent controls changes: This card gains ATK equal to the difference between its current and original ATK. Make a companion card to Emperor Dawnslayer, to be another card in the Deck of the anime character to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this cards Battle Position is changed (Quick Effect): all monsters on your opponent's field lose 100 ATK and 100 DEF, and they cannot attack that turn.1200/0 Next: A card that's only worth playing if you're certain you're going to lose next turn, and that doesn't offer much help. .

Draconus297 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Bullet-Tech UnitNormal Trap Activate only when your LP is half or less than half of your opponent's, and the difference is 3000 or more. If a monster you control attacks your opponent's monster, target the attacking monster: Until the end of the turn, the target gains ATK equal to half the difference between your and your opponent's LP, also it gains the following effects for the rest of the turn:●If this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent, you gain LP equal to half the amount of damage inflicted. ●If this card destroys your opponent's monster by battle, draw 1 card. Good luck actually using it, even though it is arguably one of the better cards of its type. Using it in combination with Metalmorph and literally any multi-attacker could maybe get you out of a corner, but it's such an unlikely scenario that it's practically impossible. A Normal monster with decent support behind it (for its Type/Level/Attribute, maybe it's a Tuner, etc.) but such garbage stats that it's not going to be run over other similar options.

AkibaSilver Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Counter-Reality CrystalisationCounter TrapIf your opponent would banish a "Crystal" monster from your field during their turn, while you have no Spell/Trap cards set: negate the effect that banishes, then place that monster as a Continuous Spell Card in a Spell/Trap Zone.
