Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Refer to this thread for any specific information regarding the policies of the CC Monthly. Theme Design a monster card based off a Pop Culture character. (Any characters from an anime/manga series, as well as movies, non-anime/manga media and so forth are fair game) Aside from your entries being required to be of a PC character AND conform to Advanced standards, you have free reign over what you can do here. Helpful Threads http://forum.yugiohc...before-posting/http://forum.yugiohc...d-design-guide/http://forum.yugiohc...ds-and-casuals/ Deadline May 23rd, 2015 @ 11:00 pm Hawaiʻi Standard Time (GMT -10:00) If you need help determining what time it'll be in your area when deadline hits, use this converter. (Select USA - Hawaii - Honolulu in the "convert to" area) For your safety, I highly recommend that you turn in your entries when it reaches 11:00 pm in your respective timezones, to avoid confusion; unless you live in the Polynesian islands or another location between the dateline and Hawaiʻi (but I do not foresee this to occur). Entry Fee None, you just need to state your interest + provide an entry card with an appropriate explanation. Rules 1. Standard YCM and Custom Cards rules apply in this section. Please remember to abide by / follow them in this contest. 2. Written Cards will be accepted, however if you opt to do this; do not use the cardmaker to generate a pictureless image. Just type it out in text format. 3. When posting a card, make sure that you have its lore posted beneath, so it is easier for the judges to read your effect. (If you do not post your card lore underneath, you WILL be penalized; all you have to do is copy+paste it and you're fine) Also make sure that you post it properly using the cardmaker. 4. You are allowed to make edits to your card until the deadline, HOWEVER you should have already designed the card as a final product when posting. 5. The usage of Fake Types / Attributes, as well as DIVINE, Divine-Beast and Creator God is expressly forbidden. You are expected to design a card that adheres to the current standards set by Konami (usage of the existing 23 legal Types + 6 Attributes). Also remember to abide by the max. 5000 ATK/DEF rules for original stats. 6. When submitting your entry, you should give a short description of what your intent was during the design process. It'll help the judges to better understand your card + grade accordingly. The idea here is that you design a card based on the character of your choosing, but make sure that it's properly done. Prizing 1st - 3000 points + membership in custom group for a month. 2nd - 2000 points 3rd - 1000 points 4th - 500 points Additional prizes may be given out, if needed. Participants Striker Gadjiltron Alpakha Instinct Chivalry ReneTCG GarlandChaos I Hate Snatch Steal Woloa Judges Myself If you're interested in judging, make sure you've passed the judge exam at least once (either during Aix/Saber's control of it, or under mine). Preferably, you should've passed it more than once to improve your core + make sure you genuinely understand what to look for, but is not a requirement.

Alpakha Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Entering EDIT: Entry Posted [spoiler=ALL GLORY TO THE] [spoiler=Lore]If this card is sent from the Deck to the Graveyard while you control a face-up Level 2 or lower Aqua-Type: Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned, target 1 monster your opponent controls with 2300 ATK or lower and 1 Aqua-Type monster you control: Switch control of both monsters, and if you do, their battle positions cannot be changed. You can only use this effect of "Hypnotoad" once per turn.[/spoiler][/spoiler] [spoiler=Notes] Meant to work with frogs (mostly swap frog), cause hypnotoad and all. I would've been an idiot not to do that. Anyway, a lot of frog cards seem to focus on control (flip flip, unifrog, des croaking) so I wanted to do something that still fits the whole hypnosis thing. I'm just worried I made it too generic and abusable, buuut let's see how this goes. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Alright, accepted. I will add you and Instinct to the main post. In perspective, designing a card for this month's theme shouldn't be too difficult if you know how to do it. Basically, how would you design a card based on whatever character you choose in the Advanced section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Suppose this deserves a bump, though I can likely attribute the inactivity of this one due to finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Alright then, accepted. Due to exams, I could extend the deadline a bit; although I'd really like to do all of the grading by the end of the month, so June's one can start on time.

Don't worry about it; you just need it in by the deadline. Okay, then I will definitely enter. Also, a quick question; if the character you are choosing has a weapon or something that makes the character, well, the character, can you make two cards (one of the character and another of said weapon)?

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Usually, contests like this require that you submit only 1 card. So yeah, just try to incorporate the weapon's features into the regular monster itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarlandChaos Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Quick question: Am I allowed to use cards I posted elsewhere on the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiz Fri Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Here is my entry: [spoiler='Elder Dragon of Legend, Spyro'] [spoiler='Effect Text']2 Level 7 Dragon-Type monsters This card's attribute is also treated as the attributes of the Xyz Material attached to this card. You can only activate 1 effect of "Elder Dragon of Legend, Spyro" once per turn. ① While this card is treated as FIRE: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and target 1 monster your opponent controls; destroy that card. ② While this card is treated as WATER: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and target 1 monster your opponent controls; that card cannot attack or change battle position until your next Standby Phase. ③ While this card is treated as EARTH: This card gains 500 DEF. ④ While this card is treated as LIGHT: Detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Special Summon 1 Level 4 "Dragon of Legend" from your hand or Graveyard.[/spoiler] [spoiler='Design Notes']I originally wanted to stray away from my old favorite, because I knew that it would be a monster of an effect. However, I couldn't stay away, and I decided to take an idea that I had long ago about having the Dragon Guardians directly give a normal Spyro monster effects, make Spyro Xyz and play around with those possibilities. The "treated as the attributes of the attached material" clause was added to ① shorten the effect a bit and ② represent Spyro embodying the element he is wielding at that time. The Fire effect is basic; fire destroys stuff. Water is more based on Ice, an element Spyro controls in the Legend of Spyro franchise, effectively freezing an opponent's monster from battle for a full turn. Earth was straightforward as well, as many Earth monsters in the game throw about larger defense stats. I took some liberties with the Light effect, as Spyro harnesses Lightning in the games. "Lightning is quick, so lets make the effect speed up the deck a little," was the thought process here. An immediate complaint I already here is, "But Rene, this card can be easily made using the Dragon Rulers, and then they get sent to the graveyard to be summoned again!" But really, who will play this over Big Eye or Dracosack? I see no hands up. Yes you can use Dragon Rulers to make Spyro, but to be honest, that was my goal. The Dragon Rulers are the closest thing to the Dragon Guardians that Yu-Gi-Oh! has right now. The Dragon Rulers (or any other L7 Dragons, of course) pass on their knowledge to Spyro so that he can become more powerful...for a short time. Also, a slight aside: The card number is actually the last 8 digits of "The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon"s PS3 ISBN number.[/spoiler] [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Quick question: Am I allowed to use cards I posted elsewhere on the forums? Yeah, you're allowed to use cards you've already made (provided that you've improved it with any suggestions people gave you). Will note Rene's entry.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Well, someone did recycle their SCS 8 entry in last month's tournament, so... Then again, I probably edited that rule into regular contests around the same time as 1v1s. Although you generally should be using a new card.

Instinct Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Do we post our card entry here or PM you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Entry coming up. [spoiler Card Text]You can target 1 non-Xyz Effect Monster your opponent controls or in your opponent's Graveyard; this card's name and original ATK become that monster's name and current ATK, and this card's effect becomes that monster's original effect. These changes last until the end of this turn. You can only use this effect of "Satori of the Third Eye" once per turn.[/spoiler] [spoiler Design Notes]Satori here is known for being a Touhou boss with one of the greatest variety in attacks. Why? One of her signature abilities is copying the attacks of characters from past games. Depending on who you're playing and which character your assist is, you might be in for a ball of a time. So how does this translate into Yugioh terms? Simple! Taking one half of Genom-Heritage's effect. Satori has the ability to copy any monster the opponent currently has or has placed in their Graveyard, taking up their ATK, name, and effect. The original copy stays intact, unlike Genom-Heritage, and Satori can only copy non-Xyz Monsters to avoid strange Material shenanigans. A hard OPT clause is established in the case of multiple Satori triggering off each other. It may seem particularly exploitative, but it's all limited by what the opponent is playing and what is available at the time. This is something you cannot completely control yourself.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
