incredibly it seems that nyx has secured a major victory against the bot hoardes and we are, to some extent, free of them

I don't think I've ever seen "nobody has received reputation this week" at YCM.

The moonlight deepens, and the echoes grow louder... Suzanne and Anastasia were only the beginning. A frozen oath. A forgotten queen. A ritual that bends the rules of time itself. Minyx is evolving — and you haven’t seen anything yet. So far, you’ve met Minyx Suzanne and Minyx Anastasia — but that was just the surface. I’m currently developing a full custom archetype called Minyx, and it’s shaping up to be something wild. Minyx is built around a unique blend of Ritual, Pendulum, and Tribute mechanics, with a heavy focus on lore, recursion, and moonlit tragedy. The theme centers on forgotten queens, frozen oaths, and celestial echoes — each card feels like a fragment of a story that never got to finish. Mechanically, it’s a playground of: Pendulum Ritual Monsters that can be summoned from zones most decks don’t even touch. Tribute synergy that doesn’t just pay costs — it triggers effects, redirects monsters to the Extra Deck, and sets up haunting plays from beyond. Field and Spell effects that bend traditional rules, letting you summon, protect, and punish in ways most decks can’t. Now, I’ll be honest — this deck is probably going to be very overpowered. Not in a “you do this: you win the duel” kind of way, but in a “you blink and suddenly I have five effects resolving from the Extra Deck” kind of way. It’s a custom archetype, so I’m having fun with it — but I’m also trying to keep things fair and flavorful. And yes, I know the irony: I’m designing a deck with Rituals, Pendulums, and chain-linked tribute effects… but I’m trying not to make the card text a novel. I know Yu-Gi-Oh! players hate reading — so I’m keeping effects tight, intuitive, and as clean as possible. There’s a lot more coming — including a frozen queen, a field spell that turns tributes into moonlight echoes, and a Ritual monster that doesn’t care what zone it’s in. Stay tuned. The moon’s just getting started. Full artworks:

This is insane — seriously, the design is amazing, and the artwork? Just chef’s kiss. I’m genuinely blown away. Please keep making custom archetypes because this is next-level. I don’t even have the words right now — it’s that good. If you don’t mind me asking… how long did this take? Because putting together this many cards with this much synergy and flavor takes some serious dedication, man. I make custom archetypes too — though nothing nearly as abundant or creative as this. Honestly, I didn’t think it could get this good. The synergy, the mechanics, the lore… It’s on a whole other level. You’ve seriously raised the bar, at least in my eyes.

The air thickens, and the static begins to hum... Zephyra and Auron are only the first sparks. A fractured forecast. A buried signal. A storm that rewrites the rhythm of the chain. Tempestshade is gathering — if you think this is a shock, you're not ready for what's next. Tempestshade is purely lightning and momentum. This is another one of my custom archetypes — and it’s built around Xyz mechanics, Thunder synergy, and storm-like tempo. It’s fast, disruptive, and reactive, designed to mix seamlessly with other Xyz and Thunder decks while bringing its own chaotic flair. Here’s what I’m exploring: Xyz-focused plays that reward aggressive sequencing and layered materials. Thunder synergy — effects that echo through zones and chain into disruption. Storm-style control — cards that punish hesitation and reward momentum. Today I’m revealing four cards from the storm: Tempestshade Zephyra — a searcher that turns into a pop when detached. Tempestshade Auron — sets your traps and draws when used as material. Tempestshade Oraclallity — a combo extender and material substitute that locks you into Xyz plays. Tempestshade Counterforce — your Rank 6+ negation tool with hand disruption and material recursion. These cards are just the first gusts — each one plays a role in the system, and together they hint at the kind of pressure Tempestshade can generate. This is the calm before the storm.

I go by Drov3nix, but unfortunately, I can't change my name until I’ve posted at least 30 content items — so for now, I'm stuck as Deeshenna Davis (not my real name). I'll just be posting custom cards I've been making for Yu-Gi-Oh! as a hobby. Let me know what you think!

I return, at the turn of the tide

Cool series :)

Here's 2 animations I did these past couple weeks. Both still kind of incomplete but I think good practice nonetheless xD

I'd KILL for some nuggies.
