Kwisatz-Haderach Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The darma is very banal and its lore is written bad, since it talks of "destroy a card", but then we have another eff that talks like you must destroy only a monster. The Falcon is written better than darma but is quite overpowered, it can be an exiled forces with a huge turn restricion on summons, and then it can be a typhoon from the hand in opponent turn too. I literally hate both cards, but i'll vote B because iz a little better than A for its lore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Amoonguss Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Card A does fit in with the high LP costs for effects during it's release period. Card B is a more modern card than Card A, as it serves like a tribute to the doomed, as well as S/T destruction. If these cards were made like such in real life, then the Cyber Falcon would find more use than the Dharma Cannon. Still, I'm going to vote for Card A, because that card seems like it could have actually been printed like that back in the day, with the likes of Cyber Stein and Gale Dogra, not to mention Wriggle and Amoeba. Though, the OCG is a bit iffy. Card B is a bit OP, though not overly much so. This kind of card would be semi-limited at least in this format of TCG. Edit: I just noticed that you left your sig in the card, Optical. The way the AB card format of contests work with anonymity, so as to avoid unbiased judging.

Ren✧ Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well as previous voters have stated, both cards are severely lacking in several areas. Hopefully the review will shed some light on what can be done better: Card A: The issue of the cost being much too high for its effect has already been brought up, but considering that, that is more or less its entire effect it is what I will be focusing on. The cost of the effect is a bit much for the effect you propose that could probably be achieved with a 1000 LP cost, minus the extra damage to your opponent. However, what really is going to get you downed here is the lack of originality in your card. It doesn't seem like you try to make too much of an effort to add something unique or surprising to your card effect, and while simplicity should never be underrated, I think the effect as a whole is pretty disappointing. One of the above voters also brought up the fact that you state that you can destroy any card with the effect, but then effect damage is applied as if the card has to be a monster. These conflicting things reveal right away that the card was not well thought out, casting further doubts about it. As a whole, I think you should probably just go back to the drawing back. Destruction effects are always useful, but you have to make sure that you don't go old school on us. Making a destruction based Cyber Stein isn't going to impress anyone. Card B: Alright, well I always had a love for this oldie. You start out with a decent effect, destruction for destruction, plus a bonus draw which is nice, but that is screwed up when you add such a massive summoning restriction on to the card. This alone would make the effect absolutely worthless. There are cards that far out class this that would allow me to Special Summon in the same turn. Then you add an MST-esque effect that you can't activate from the hand or graveyard. And while I see hand traps to be annoying, they are a sneaky, underhanded way to gain back control of the duel(or further your lead). The OCG used here is superb, probably better than I would do(if we are being completely honest, lol). All in all, gonna have to cast my vote for Card B. Card A is more or less useless and is conflicting greatly with itself. So, while Blue Amoongus does point out that it would fit right along with the time period, that isn't what the challenge was, but to modernize a card, so that can't be the deciding factor in my vote. My vote goes to Card B, Cyber Falcon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daigusto Sphreez Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 A: I don't have to add anything here that hasn't already been said. Uninspired effect and effect confusion. At a stretch, I guess it is nice to get the destruction straight away rather than the usual flip summon restriction, although whether that is the destruction of any card or just a monster is unclear because of the callousness of the effect's writing. I don't think there is a big deal with 2000 LP payment, but hey apparently life points matter? In all seriousness though it could matter in certain situations, and If I was going to pay 2000 life points I'd run Solemn Warning over this (or even My Body as a Shield at 1500) in the flash of a heartbeat. The only decks that may want it are of the burn variety perhaps, but even there I don't think it would see much use. B: I disagree in part with Renegade, on the basis that destroying any card of your choice and drawing 1 card at the cost of no special summons does not feel outclassed at all. Cardcar D is essentially just as restrictive in many ways, yet allows 2 draws and no destruction, basically making this equivalent. Would you say Cardcar D is a bad card, when this card seems to have at least as much going for it? It all depends on the deck you're running, and in certain decks this could be very useful. The secondary effect is situational as it must be a face-up spell/trap, and I'm glad it is situational since it would be too good otherwise. Even this effect has it uses however, especially with pesky fiendish chain's finding themselves in most decks nowadays. I vote for card B. Probably too generous, but not severely overpowered. It is at least usable, more than card A anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpticalGalaxyStar Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Well, that closes voting, I suppose. Final Score: Dyson Sphere: 3 OpticalGalaxyStar: 1 Ah, well. I lost. But you know what? I don't mind. At this point, I'm only sharpening my skills as a card maker. I'm going to walk out of here with my head held high. I had a lot of fun with this, and I can't wait to do it again. …And, with that, this contest is over. I'll give Dyson a Rep as soon as I figure out how to.
