Blue Amoonguss Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm in the mood again, so here I am again. Rules: 1. All YCM and 1v1 rules apply. 2. Cards must be sent before 48 hours has passed after acceptance. 3. Voting ends 72 hours after cards are entered. 4. Contest will use the AB system, first to 3 votes wins. 5. Voters must have a reason for voting one way or another. 6. Winner gets 1 rep from the loser. 7. Written cards are MANDATORY. Mainly because I can't get the image pasting to work... 8. The challenger may choose the conditions of the created card. The challenge is to make a Rank 9 monster. [spoiler='Card A'] Archangel Gabriel Rank: 9/ Attribute: LIGHT Fairy/Xyz/Effect 2700/2200 2 Level 9 monsters You can also Xyz summon this card by using a Rank 7 or 8 Xyz Monster you control as Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz materials on this card.) This card gains 400 ATK for each Xyz material attached to it. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy 1 Spell/Trap card on the field. [/spoiler] [spoiler='Card B'] Savage Scourge of the Sky Rank 9/ WIND Winged Beast/ Xyz/ Effect 3000/3000 2 level 9 monsters You may also Xyz Summon this card by using 2 or more Xyz Monsters whose combined Ranks equals 9 or more. Xyz Materials attached to those cards return to the deck. You may detach 1 Xyz Material from this card: Destroy 1 monster on the field whose Level or Rank equals 8 or more. During your Standby Phase, if this card has no Xyz Material: Switch control of this card, then the new controller of this card takes 800 points of damage.

Blue Amoonguss Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 You see, I can't paste anything to these comment boxes. I have to type in the links manually, so the pictures won't show. Do I need Microsoft Word to paste things? Because this computer doesn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qliphort Tool Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 have you try to upload the card image by clicking the card at your card generator, then copy the bbcode appeared under the card and paste that code here yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Amoonguss Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes, but I couldn't paste it here. So I had to manually copy it, which results in no image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vector Nightmare Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Voting for Card A. Frankly Card B has a better concept, but is all over the place with effects that don't really have much synergy. I like its combining Xyz theme but the control change and random burn feel too out of place... also awkward wording hurts my eyes. Card A is... rather straightforward and boring, but better balanced. Honestly I have qualms with both these cards, most especially how they both have alternate summoning ways which seems really cheap to do in a rank 9 since the contest requirements didn't call for it. Also names are awkward. But card A still takes this for being more solid and usable. Also Card A has its OCG name, its TCG name would have to be Archlord Gabriel since angel is taboo word for us devout Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qliphort Tool Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 and our first voter appeared! 1-0 Card A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Card A: The S/T removal effect is bland, and can Xyz evolve like Gaia Dragoon. Because of the latter, the card is as problematic as Gaia Dragoon, allowing you to bypass restrictions on Xyzs after they have used their effects. Juts like Gaia can be dropped over Volcasaurus or Atum after they used their effects to virtually skip their "cannot attack" restrictions, you could do the same with this card on monsters such as Giant Grinder or Big Eye; or you can be silly and drop it over Gaia Dragoon itself to virtually turn any Rank 5~6 into this. Card B: Also has a Xyz evolution condition, but in my opinion a difficult one to fulfill because you will need to drop Xyz of different Ranks, including a Rank 5+. The first effect is good against Decks with Synchros or main Deck bosses, but not that good against most Xyz-centric Decks besides Gimmick Puppets, Galaxy, etc. And the last effect is bad: it gives the opponent a powerful beatstick/wall for free, at the cost of 800 LP that can be easily paid. The card is not worth the investment of 2 Xyz Monsters in my opinion, unless you use Xyzs that have already used all of their materials, but that would be situational. And really, I don't think players would be interested in dedicating an Extra Deck space to this just for the slight chance of dropping it. Basically, it goes down to voting for an arguably unfair card, or a underpowered card. My vote goes to Card B for not being abusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Amoonguss Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 The 72 hour limit is coming soon. Will this end in a tie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Amoonguss Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ok, so the 72 hour limit has passed, the score's 1-1, I PM'd Dyson for more options. Kinda disappointing that barely anyone showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Amoonguss Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Alright, 24 hours have been added to the figurative clock. We need more people, stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Noel- Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Tiebreaker needed? Alright, so Card A get my vote, it is the higher Rank Gaia, well it's effects are, as those above me mentioned, simple, boring and around balanced to strong, though better when comparing to Card B's underrated effects, nice alternative condition there, but the destruction is too situational and barely find its use due to current gamestate and the control change effect is really really unneeded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Amoonguss Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 2-1, thanks for voting. Just so you know, voting is still going on until the extended time is used up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Actually, time extensions aren't allowed unless it is a 0-0 tie due to rule 14. As a result, the 1-1 tie is the official result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
