Hey Everyone! I’m excited to share my new archetype: "Abysync" (Pronounced like Abyss + Sync). For this one, you get to step into a world at war where Fiend meets Machine to combat an emerging biological threat. The passion for progress can lead you to dark places, an abyss. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss does stare back, or maybe it was that lukewarm imp. This deck is built upon equipping monsters for additional effects while synchro summoning from your field and Spell/Trap zone. When your Synchro plays fall through, or you want to break your opponent's board, feel free to summon into your "Abysync" XYZ monsters; they should allow you to hack and slash to your heart's content. I did my best to ensure that mechanical subtext is woven directly into their effects. I hope you enjoy checking these out as much as I did creating them. Feel free to leave your thoughts down below, and I’ll try to get back to you when my schedule is free! 愛を込めて

Your archetype turned out great! I love the artwork ♥♥, and the archetype's smaller monsters really support your boss monsters well. The only card that feels like it has a few minor drawbacks is "Lilith," because she lacks the power to effectively support the archetype, and you could easily brick your hand if you're relying on a specific Tuner; in that case, it would be worth including a generic Tuner like "Plaguespreader Zombie" or an improved "Abysync" version of that card (and that Zombie is already great on its own!). You could also add a hand trap monster for your archetype, and it would be unstoppable! The artwork... 20 out of 10! Incredible! I love it ♥♥♥. What do you think of my idea to support your archetype with more Tuners?

while i'm here on my occasional "i remembered this forum also exists" check-in, friendly reminder that genAI, its users, and the inglorious admin of this site can all get bent

My first attempt at drawing not based on another character for a custom card. If anyone has any name ideas or feedback that would be nice.

This arechetype looks really cool and the mechanic seems designed very well! I like the design very much! Gives mecha fiendsmith and air striker vibes with a touch of branded/dogmatika! Did you use an AI image Generator for the artworks? If so, which? I really like the consistency and to Yugioh fitting artstyle! Only a few look a bit different in terms of details and realism, the trap for example looks a bit different in artstyle than the rest. I like how the Deck theme has 2 major goals. Getting bodies on the board for Synchro Summoning and equipping monsters with monsters. As far as the "goal" of the Deck I might be confused just a little bit. The Boss monsters you want to summon, as you either want to build your board first or second turn, have very different or let's say just varying effects/goals. Maybe this also is intended to be prepared against many different scenarios.. On one hand you have a Boss monster that can negate enemy monster effects, then your 2nd Boss monster (Xyz) can attack multiple times and your 3rd Boss Monster (the main i suppose) Lillith is unaffected by enemy spells/traps and can special summon 1 lvl 4 monster once per turn, as well as adding a spell/trap once per turn. Your engine monsters give different effects to monsters they equip, either giving ATK/DEF and piercing damage ability. So the goal of your Main Boss Monster Lillith kind of seems to be just to be able to summon another (lower tier) Boss monster but apart from being spell/trap immune and being a beat stick, it doesn't really offer much more... If the (lower tier) Boss monsters would be the End Goal monsters, then this would be fine and Lillith would be part of the engine still. But as of now it seems kind of counter-intuitive to summon my boss monster, only to summon another (weaker) Boss monster. But maybe that's just for backup and the main use of Lillith is to get to the Calamity Spell once per turn.. In that case it's fine I believe and also quite strong, tho also quite specific against spells/traps. Tho I'd say the strongest Boss monster right now would be Colussus with its quickeffect negate... if that card would be treated more like the end goal, maybe changing stats and levels of the two, the board would seem a bit more cohesive I think. But that's just my thoughts on it.. Overall I really like the design and idea behind it! Would love to see this archetype getting fleshed out further! :)

A lot of things are ruining & killing this site, actually! And while I'd love to hear you elaborate on what exactly you mean by "bias," I somehow doubt that whatever you're thinking of is one of those things that's doing this site in. For one, foums like this are themselves a slowly dying medium. The advent and continual growth of Discord & similar platforms, plus the ubiquitous influence of social media sites like Facebook or The Website Formerly Known As Twitter, makes forums the clunkiest and least convenient option for online communication. This makes getting new members and keeping old ones difficult for any forum. Retaining old members gets especially difficult as years continue passing and everyone's life circumstances begin changing. We're not primarily a collection of teens/20-somethings with nothing better to do anymore. People get lives, jobs, families, and the forum inevitably gets put to the side, maybe forever. Even on Neocardmaker, the vast majority of the forum activity is RP posts, while actual discussion about the RPs themselves - which is itself at least 90% of the RP-related activity - happens over Discord. For two, the only person who can make functional change to this site has all but outright stated he's leaving the place to rot. Instead of fixing the spambots plaguing this website, or updating the forum software, or fixing the several bugs in the cardmaker, or really doing literally anything that can improve the website in any conceivable way, the only things YCMaker has done since 2021 is add AI slop to the cardmaker and make it impossible for the mods (all one or two of them) to do anything on his behalf. The site itself has been on the decline for years, and while YCMaker can't do anything about the social end of that, he won't do anything about the functional side. His blatant disinterest in doing his job and refusal to let anyone else do it for him was a significant part of why we had the YCM/NCM split in 2019, and it can be hard to want to stay on a website that even the owner seems to want nothing to do with besides an ad revenue paycheck. Obviously, new members aren't gonna be privy to all that information, but it's a significant factor all the same. For three, YCM has itself become an extremely unwelcoming place to browse. Not because the people are assholes (usually), but because the site is infested with temu spambots, and no human is really doing much of anything except occasionally lamenting how nobody really does much of anything. And you're no exception to this yourself. When's the last time you engaged with anyone's content here besides your own? The last time you welcomed a new member to the forum, or reviewed a card someone submitted, or explained the faults in some crazy idea you saw someone post? You speak of wanting the site to live again, but you also don't make any personal effort to contribute to that revitalization. And everyone is more or less guilty of, or at least complicit in this. Look at any forum section. Most of the threads on this site have a whopping zero replies, and the ones that do have something rarely get more than like, four or five replies. Nobody is willing to engage with each other, turning this forum into less of a public space to share and review ideas, and more of a chain of solitary bubbles. All that is what's chasing off new members. What's the point of sharing my card here if the rest of the site's example shows that all I'm really doing is throwing a thought into an empty vacuum? Do I want to hang out here if there's so many obvious spambots that aren't being kept out? Why would I even use a forum at all when I can use Discord or Bluesky? And I'm not sure if anything can be done about all that at this point.

A Runerigus gijinka for @Darj !

Society wonders why bad things happens (mass @%#&-ings) Also society creates the monsters that do those very bad things that no one ever eva should do I want everyone to think about that and how they treat others (offline and otherwise)

Okay. Although I thought there would be people on the forum who wrote in Spanish. Thanks for letting me know. ;)

Im new to the entire posting card thing. If you want to look at how the deck works, ill post that later. I would like pointers and I accept contructive criticism. This is my reworked Bliss Queen for my custom blitz archetype (ill post the old one later). For context, the design of blitz was to end the race of modren yugioh. this deck is resource heavy and requires you to carefully make decisions. If you dont have ammo for cards you wont be able to play them. Also, its archetype locked so no cheese cards. Im aware some of the text isent ment to your standard like B.Q(bliss queen) or OPT(once per turn), QE(quick effect). I needed space. I also post on reddit but I dont get proper feedback so I came here. So ill break down my cards. Bliss queen is the leader of the blitz. Main boss is bliss queen her self base form. In lore her body is made of ultra dense material nuclear pasta which is why I gave her a high defense. She suppose to feel unmoveable, dangerous and bounces effects around. I tried to incorporate the real life effects of nuclear pasta, that being absorbing, repealing, and hard to bring out. And no, she will not implode. Xyz bliss queen is a more offensive version with a similar effect to c101 without the revival with protection. The fusion bliss queen isent going to be used but I made it because I wanted to see what you guys think of it. Its absolutely cracked, tier 0 with 0 interaction.

Also I believe you wouldn't use space signs between the attributes of a card to make it look right. So "Machine/Tuner/Effect" instead of "Machine / Tuner Effect"

this site is SSSSSSOOOOOO dead!!!!

Well if Godbrand is back, I can hardly not be around
