Contest Rules:

1. Each Participant must submit a total of 5 cards, 2 monster (minimum) and 3 support (can be monster, spell or trap)

2. Cards will be judged on balanced effects, OGC, how well the name fits the pic AND by the support cards provided, and each card will be judged out of 5 making a grand total of 25 points for 5 cards. the person with the highest score wins!

3. All cards will be judged by me, and/or any judges who want to join (pm me if you want to become a judge, as i don't want my thread to be full of spam Nazi's), judges will receive 1 rep after the contest is over for helping out with the judging.

4. Enjoy, and I hope to see some good cards!

Get those cards in for judging! can't wait to see some great cards!

 

EDIT: NEW RULE!!!

If more that 5 cards are submitted, i will judge them all and use the best 5 scores towards your total score, so that it stays within 25 points

HOWEVER, i will still judge two monsters, and three other cards

so your two best monsters and your three best other cards will go towards your points

both entrants accepted, hope you to see some great cards!

[filipe_g]

here's my entry:

 

Monsters:

 

 

 

1 Tuner Monster + 1 or more EARTH Non-Tuner Monsters

Once per turn, you can remove from play 1 EARTH monster in your Graveyard to have this card gain 500 ATK until the End Phase of your opponent's next turn. While this card is face-up on the field, Tributes needed for the Tribute Summon of EARTH monsters are decreased by 1. If this card is successfully Synchro Summoned with 1 EARTH Tuner monster, return up to 2 cards your opponent controls to the owner's hand.

 

Supports:

 

 

 

 

 

Just to save you some words:

if your wondering about the Psychic-type of my Lycan its a new type that is coming out in the duelist genesis set

I'm joining this only if you agree to stop rating cards in the middle of the tournament. It takes away any and all kind of excitement about the winner. Annouce the results only in the end, not after each entry please.

[CalluW]

ok, taken off

entry accepted

and does anyone want to be a judge?

[MarbleZone]

Question: do we have to make 2 Synchro monsters and 3 other cards, or can it be 1 Synchro monster and 4 other cards, including at least 1 Tuner?

[CalluW]

it must be 2 monsters, it can be 1 synchro and 1 tuner as well as three other cards

as long as you submit 2 monsters (and there must be at least 2) you are obeying the rules

[MarbleZone]

Here we go...

 

 

 

If Netherknight Belzer seems overpowered, remember that it requires at least 3 monsters to bring out, and gathering exactly 7 Level Stars in 3 monsters is tricky; besides, it is still destroyed by everything that doesn't target, which happens to be the majority of monster removal cards everybody uses: Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Smashing Ground, Fissure, etc. ;)

[CalluW]

Firstly... Yay, I won. ^^

 

Secondly, White Genesis Castle does have a drawback, that "not being able to attack" detail. Besides, the Synchro Summon occurs just like if they were in the Extra Deck, you still need the Tuner and the correct Levels on the field, so it's not that broken. The second bit is about regaining the Tuner if the Attribute is the same as the Synchro's: Tuners are all weak, so it's only a way of balancing card advantage (Synchros, like early Fusions, eat advantage like Pacman), but it's hardly gamebreaking, and besides, the Attributes have to match. ;)

 

If you want broken Field Spells with no drawbacks, look at Light Boundary, Rainbow Ruins and Skyscraper 2... ;)

[Enigma Zero]

Just for my own personal curiousity....could you please ellaborate on those "small" and "obvious" OCG errors? Considering I didn't fix these supposed errors means..well..they're not obvious to me so I would like to know about them so I can fix them. ;)

I didin't saw ocg errors except Spell,Trap, and Synchro card.. the spell card format is wrong, and i think synchro is a bit wrong.. im not a fan of them, so idk very good... adn the trap is also how sentence is written..
