Dude Yes

I finished my first Create-A-Card archetype, and I actually did some play testing to boot. The results were beautiful; the power level is right where I wanted it to be. Seems like a whack anti-meta deck more than anything else.

[Umbrella Ruling: An "Exos Fear" monster that is on top of a Zone is not on the field, nor in the hand, nor in the Graveyard, nor removed from play.]


Exos Fear - Creature Keeper

While this card is on top of that Monster Card Zone, the monster in it cannot attack, change its battle position, or activate its effect(s). This card is placed on the top or bottom of your deck when that Monster Card Zone becomes vacant.

[None of these actions are simultaneous. "Drastic Drop Off" will only discard the drawn card.]
[If an effect is chained that would cause "Thunder King Rai-Oh" to be face-up on the field when this effect resolves, you will still return an "Exos Fear" monster to the deck and draw 1 card, but you will not add an "Exos Fear" monster to your hand.]

La Dee Da

Random CAC today. I almost went overboard with it. Even now it might be a little over the line.

Blackwing - Swift the Storm Front
Level 2/DARK/Winged Beast/Effect

When this card is Summoned, Trap Cards cannot be activated. This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase.

ATK/500 DEF/500

More Screen Time Please

Random CaC because I don't have anything better to say at the moment

Morphtronic Screenen
Level 2/LIGHT
Machine/Tuner

While in attack position: Once per turn, you can declare one attribute. Until the End Phase, treat this card's attribute as the one you chose instead.

While in defense position: Once per turn, you can declare one card name. Until the End Phase, treat this card's name as the one you chose instead.

ATK/600 DEF/1200

I Forgot How Fun This Was

Here are a couple more Jack-oriented Create-A-Cards I recently concocted.

Beckoning Archfiend
DARK/Level 4
Fiend/Effect
1700 ATK/1200 DEF

Tribute this card. During your next Standby Phase, by removing the appropriate Synchro Material monsters in your Graveyard from play, Special Summon one DARK Synchro monster from your Extra Deck (this Special Summon is treated as a Synchro Summon).

Sentipede
DARK/Level 4
Insect/Synchro/Effect
1900 ATK/1900 DEF

1 Tuner Monster + "Dark Bug"

When this card is Synchro Summoned, return all Set Spell and Trap cards your opponent controls to their owners' hands. If you returned two or more cards, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.


I WOULD make a pun like that.

If you'd like, go check out the ideas other people have proposed, and maybe you could even join in on the fun yourself.

Haven't Done This in Ages...

The Create-A-Card process is something of which I've been fairly fond in recent times, though my idea pool evaporated at some point along the way, so I haven't been cranking out fan creations like I used to.

Inspiration came, however, when I stopped by the Complete the Card Above You thread on Pojo earlier this morning, so I figured I'd post my results here for everyone's enjoyment (or disgust, I dunno).

The first is a Fusion with the intent of being used by Jack Atlas. It was inspired by the Synchro-Fusion concept in Duelist Revolution, with the stats and nature of the costs borrowed from the cover card.

Maldrake Shaman
DARK/Level 10
Dragon/Fusion/Effect
3200 ATK/2000 DEF

1 Dragon-Type Synchro Monster + 1 Fiend-Type Monster

This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck except by Fusion Summon. If the only monsters your opponent controls are defense position monsters, you can remove 1 Dragon-Type Synchro Monster in your graveyard from play to allow this card to attack directly this turn. If the only monsters your opponent controls are attack position monsters, you can remove 1 Fiend-Type monster in your graveyard from play to allow this card to attack all of your opponent's monsters once each this turn.

I'm fairly confident that I didn't go overboard on this guy. The activation requirements for the effects are situational enough. I tacked on some easy costs out of fear that it might be too strong. All in all, it suits Jack's style and his deck as we know it.


Then we've got a trap designed to be a mirror of "Starlight Road" in the sense that it mimics the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend" in a roundabout way and gives easy access to it.

Scarlet Sinkhole
Normal Trap

Activate when your opponent Sets a monster, or Special Summons a monster in face-down defense position. Destroy that monster. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Red Dragon Archfiend" from your Extra Deck. Destroy it during the End Phase if your opponent does not control a monster at that time.

I did a lot of thinking about this one. It went through a lot of different names, different effects, balance checks, and so forth...

I think the end result is solid, perhaps a little underwhelming, but other limitations I thought of tacking on it would have either rendered it unusable or too strong for a player who was already winning.


That's it for now, but I imagine I could churn out more cards if given ideas upon which to build. *wink wink, nudge nudge*
