Unofficial Create a Card Competition

This is a really fun game that I think everyone will enjoy. No real prizes or anything, but still tons of fun and it is a great way to improve your card design skills.

Well... rules...

1) Someone will be the head, and think up of a topic; "Leader"

2) People will post their card idea/s that fit that criteria the "leader" chose.

3) After either 5 or more people posted, or... a week has passed, whichever the leader likes, the leader will judge the entries declare a winner from the entries

4) The selected person will then act as the new leader, and the cycle goes on

5) If a leader hasn't made up his/her mind for a damn long time, anyone can judge the entries; but if you joined that contest, you can't vote yourself as the winner




criteria: Create a parasitic card: A card that degrades/drains another card to empower itself.

Example:

Draining Leech
******
Dark/Insect
2000 ATK / 2000 DEF

Effect: Pay 500 LP to decrease the ATK and DEF of a face-up monster by 500 and increase this mosnter's ATK and DEF by 500.

Note, it doesn't have to be ATK/DEF. it can be:

-discard/draw
-draw/put top card of deck to graveyard
-put card from deck to graveyard/put card from graveyard to deck
-lose LP/gain LP (Goblin Thief)
-destroy 1 monster/special summon (Dimension Magic)
-destroy 1 magic or trap/set 1 magic or trap (aka Dust Tornado)

any other similar theme

Judging will be

Creativity /10 (How unique/interesting your card is. Remember this is a CREATE a card competition)
Balance /10 (How fair your card is. I win you lose cards will get 0/10 obv.)
Relevance /10 (How much your card relates to the theme)
Wording /10 (Problem solving text preferred, -1 penalty for old wording. -1 penalty for each instance of improper wording. -.5 penalty for missed capitals commas etc.)

Future judges are free to edit the scoring system to fit their criteria. And go.

Yo. So you're moving this comp. over to DN as well?
Isn't it rather ironic to be so uncreative as to use the same criteria to start off with as the competition in XC?

Why don't you be the judge for the first competition? You seem to have a good example of how it would work, so I'm guessing some sort of experience? Or you've just thought it out very well. Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

It is indeed very well thought out. But it wasn't him who thought it out.
A guy whose username is jetrison from another forum came up with it.
bobandjim just pretty much copied the entire first post from there.

I actively enjoy playing it on the other forum, so I though it would be fun to do here. Sorry if anyone is offended by the copy paste, but I figured it if wasn't broke, no need to fix it. Oh, and I was planning to be the first judge. Just waiting on entries now!

I think that I will enter first

ATK/100 Def/100
Insect/Effect

You can equip this card (from your hand) to one monster your opponent controls. A monster equiped with this card loses 100 ATK and DEF for each of your Stand-By Phases. If this card would be destroyed by an effect, return it to your hand instead.

I'm the current judge on the other forum. You entering this time, bobandjim?

Bugged Trooper
EARTH 3*
Machine/Effect
400/400

Once per turn: You can choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your opponent's Deck to the Graveyard; this card gains 500 ATK for each card sent to the Graveyard this way, until the End Phase. When this card you control is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard: Your opponent draws 1 card.


Hardly original, but should be interesting.

absolutely, I like the theme there, just waiting for a burst of inspiration

Judging some time on Monday.

Hmm, time for a shot in the dark.

2 Level 6 Machine-Type Monsters

Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Select 1 face-up monster on the field. Its effect is negated and Viral Data Harvester gains the effect(s) of the card negated by this effect.

I've always wanted to make a card like this for a long time.

If your opponent controls a monster and you control no cards, you can Special summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Special summoned, take control of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and apply one of these effects:

• The level of this card becomes the level of the selected monster
  
• This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of the selected monster

Judging in progress

Six entries on the very first go round is fantastic, I hope all of you will continue to play. There were a lot of really good cards this time around, and I am very impressed with most of them. Wording issues hurt a few people so be very careful with that in future competitions, as it is the one category where you really can decide your score going into each competition. With that, judging below.

Creativity 5/10 (Eh, we’ve had massive nuke the field monsters before. Most of them are Dark too.)

Balance 2/10 (Removing 6 monsters is a lot, but you get to nuke guaranteed because you never have too few Life Points to pay. Honestly if this things stays on the field long enough for the 3rd End Phase clause to kick in, you’ve done something wrong.)

There are about two pages of monster that can be used for this guy directly on DN, non of which lend themselves to special summons. Might work in a B.E.S./Big Cor deck)

Earth/Level 6/Zombie/2000 ATK/1000 DEF

When this card is tribute summoned (capitalize Tribute Summon): destroy one monster on your opponent's side of the field. Then, send cards from your opponent's deck (capitalize Deck) to the graveyard (capitalize Graveyard) equal to the level of that monster to the graveyard (Graveyard). You can only activate the effect of "Vampire Assassin" once per duel


Creativity 9/10 (A zombie monarch to some extent, but takes into account existing yugioh vampire effects. Its is a very fair mix of old and new ideas. Searchable by Pyramid Turtle and Goblin Zombie, not to hard to get the effect to go off. )

Balance 10/10 (I almost think this card was too nerfed, but without actual play testing it is very hard to say. Tributing is a very fair cost for destroying a monster, and I would imagine the average mill would be about 3 to 4 cards (0 on XYZ I presume), with maximum at around 8 if it hits a BLS or Hyperion. Once per duel might not have been necessary, but could be game ending in zombie mill.)

Relevance 7/10 (The leeching element is present, but I felt you constrained yourself by sticking to existing yugioh vampire effecs (which I loved mind you) so the idea of power up the monster itself is a bit lost. I wouldn’t have minded seeing it get a 200-500 ATK boost for every monster/spell/trap/ whatever key card you want milled by the effect. That would have made the once per duel effect more reasonable.)

Wording 8.5/10 (Just missed capitals and I’m only counting Graveyard once. To check for these in the future use the deck constructor on DN to search for card featuring words you want to use and check capitalization, that’s what I do to judge.)

Creativity 8/10 (Flipped Card Trooper on its head, I like. Perfect mix of hurting opponent and powering up. I love tie in stuff like this, but can’t give it full marks, just on the grounds that it almost literally the same card word for word.)

Balance 5/10 (On one hand you are giving your opponent free mills, which 9/10 they will thank you for, but what scares me most is machine duplication. You could mill 9 cards with that, making this very dangerous in a dedicated mill deck. I’d be willing to wager that the destroyed to give your opponent +1 card will very rarely come into play if the player can avoid it.)

(This part is a little unclear, perhaps during each of your Standby Phases? Also it is Standby Phase, not Stand-By Phase. During your Stanby Phase: A monster equipped with this card loses 100 ATK and DEf.) If this card would be destroyed by an effect, return it to your hand instead. (If this card is destroyed by an effect: Return it to your hand)
Creativity 10/10 (Kinda reminds me of a slightly more recyclable Ekibyo Drakmord, except in monster form. The problem both these cards suffer from is destruction by game mechanic. Very few cards will stay on the field long enough for the drain from this card does much of anything.)

So AtlasEXE the next criteria is yours. If you don’t want to judge you have the right to pass it along to second place and so on. In the mean time let the games continue.

oh wow, I totally forgot about Machine Dupe. Nice catch.

And here I though I had all the wording properly done. Ohh well, yay for winning the competition.

Since I get to judge next, the new theme will be:

A card that has different effects based off of certain conditions.

Take, for example:

Genex Ally Triforce
DARK/LV 7
Machine/Synchro Effect

1 "Genex" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
This card's effect depends on the Attribute(s) of its non-Tuner Synchro Material Monsters.
● EARTH: If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.
● FIRE: If this card destroys a monster by battle, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
● LIGHT: Once per turn, you can select 1 LIGHT monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it in face-down Defense Position.

The conditions can be anything, from the type of card used to tribute/synchro/fusion/etc summon a card to the number of a certain type of card on the field. The important part is that it has to have different effects based off of different conditions.

I will be judging using the same scoring system:

Creativity/10
Balance/10
Relevance/10
Wording/10

It's a bit more broader than bobandjim's theme, but I can't wait to see what cards you guys come up with.

Interesting, will save this post for my idea.

Sounds cool. I'll probably start judging next Monday, depending upon whether or not I get enough entries.

Hmm Imma Try

Sealed Deity Fenrir
Dark Level 4 Fiend ATK 1900 DEF 1300

Cannot be set or flipped face down. You cannot change this cards battle position (Except with a card effect). This card cannot declare an attack. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. During the end phase of a turn a "Deity" card is removed from the field you can reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a "Deity" Card add it to your hand. If it is not banish it face down.

Note: Needless to say it is supposed to be an archetype.

Fraudulent Mystic

1200 ATK
1700 DEF
Spellcaster/ Effect

Effect wrote:Once per turn, select one card in your opponent's hand and send it to the grave. Then apply the following effect depending on the sent card's type:
- Monster: Send one random card from your opponent's hand to the grave.
- Spell: Add one random Spell from your opponent's grave to your hand.
- Trap: Send one random card from your hand to the grave.
The effect of "Fraudulent Mystic" can only be activated once per turn.

I just saw this and it sounds cool.

When 2 monsters you control are destroyed by you Opponent (Battle or card effect) while you have "Clock Tower Prison" or "Destiny HERO" monster on the field,then you can special summon 1 monster with a level equal to this card level from either players' graveyards.

Here’s what’s been bouncing around in my head for a while. Don’t forget that summoning this think goes through a syncrho and a fusion summon to get this bad boy( girl?) on the field.

Divine Servant
1*/LIGHT/Warrior/0/0

You can Special Summon this monster (from your hand) if you control a face-up DIVINE monster. If you do, it gains the following effect(s) depending on which monster(s) you control:

"Obelisk the Tormentor"- Special Summon one "Sacrifice Token" (Warrior-type/LIGHT/1-star/ATK 0/DEF 0), and Special Summon another identical Token during each of your Standby Phases, as long as this monster and "Obelisk the Tormentor" remain face-up on your side of the field.
"Osiris the Sky Dragon"- As long as this card and "Osiris the Sky Dragon" are on your side of the field, you are considered to have 2 more cards in your hand than you actually hold.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra"- Tribute this monster: gain 2000 Life Points. This turn, "The Winged Dragon of Ra" cannot be destroyed by card effects.

These look great so far. This could possibly be a close one.

Also, a friendly reminder: make sure you have all of the required information in your cards. Otherwise, I won't be able to give a balance score to the card, which can seriously impact your rating. You can edit your card anytime before Monday.

D.W.H. Optoger
Light/LV 4
Beast/Effect
1901 ATK/ 1501 DEF

If your opponent has the card "Gates Of Darkworld" or "Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World" face-up on the field, you may send this card directly from the deck to the graveyard. While this card is Face-up or in the graveyard negate the effects of all Dark World monsters in the grave or on the field.

Ps. The "When this card is Face-up" May be just taken out completely.
Pss. Going to Try to make a duelist pack cause of this now

Since it seems we've got quite a few entries already and no one else seems to be going to post anything, I'm going to start the judging a day early. Hopefully, I should be done soon.

Edit: It's taking longer than I thought. I shall be done tomorrow though.

Card Stalker

Dark Level 4 Fiend Attack 1400 Defense 500

When this card is Normal Summoned: flip one Spell or Trap Card(The c in "Trap Card" is capitalized)) on the field (field is not capitalized) face-up (face-up has a hyphen in it) (Effects aren't activated at this time), then active the appropriate effect:

-Spell: Destroy the card flipped face-up(face-up has a hyphen in it) by this effect. Comma at the end should be a period
-Trap: Randomly discard 1 card from your hand. I'm assuming that the card is flipped face-down after this effect. Be sure to add that in.

Creativity: 5/10 (A De-Spell on legs with a penalty (for most decks anyways.) Nothing too groundbreaking.)
Balance: 8/10 (This thing would have no drawbacks in a Dark World deck. That said, the effect is not too powerful and you don't have a choice of what to discard, so it's relatively balanced)
Relevance: 10/10 (A clear case of different effects based on different conditions.)
Wording: 7/10 (-2 for capitalization, hyphen and punctuation issues and -1 for missing text)
Overall: 30/40

D-Shinkirou
Sealed Deity Fenrir
Dark Level 4 Fiend ATK 1900 DEF 1300

Cannot be set or flipped face down. You cannot change this card's (Need an apostrophe for a possessive)Battle Position (Battle Position is capitalized) except with a card effect (This part doesn't need to be in parenthesis). This card cannot declare an attack. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. During the End Phase (End Phase is capitalized) of a turn a "Deity" card is removed from the field:(Activation conditions are denoted with a colon You can reveal the top card of your deck. If it is a "Deity" card,(need a comma here and "card" is not capitalized here) add it to your hand. If it is not,(Same deal with comma) banish it face down.

Creativity: 7/10 (Interesting combination of effects. A card that cannot be destroy by battle that cannot be placed in DEF position without the help of another card is quite interesting.)
Balance: 7/10 (The balance of this card would depend highly on how this card would work with the rest of the Deity archetype. As a conditional card drawer, it seems relatively balanced, though there are already plenty of cards with the world "Deity" in their name.)
Relevance: 10/10 (Perhaps not worded like some of the other cards on the list, but it's definitely there.)

Once per turn, you can (Ignition Effects require the phrase "you can" select one random(I'm assuming it's a random card, otherwise, the balance on this card would shoot straight to zero) card in your opponent's hand and send it to the graveyard. (The proper term is graveyard.) Then apply the following effects(effect here should be plural) depending on the sent card's type:
- Monster: Send one random card from your opponent's hand to the graveyard.
- Spell: Add one random Spell Card(Spells in this case are referred to as Spell Cards) from your opponent's graveyard to your hand.
- Trap: Send one random card from your hand to the graveyard.
The effect of "Fraudulent Mystic" can only be activated once per turn.

Creativity: 7/10 (Interesting take on the sending to the graveyard mechanic.)
Balance: 3/10 (Even if you do hit a trap card, the effect only becomes a 1 for 1, which gets rid of a potentially deadly trap. More often than not, you'll hit a monster or a spell card, which will either make an easy -2 for your opponent or a +1 for you. Overall, a very powerful effect with no cost and a minor penalty if you do hit the wrong card)
Relevance: 10/10 (Clear indication of different effects for different conditions)

Creativity: 5/10 (Another card whose purpose is to pull stuff from the graveyard, even if it is rather restrictive. Though you do get some extra points for allowing the potential to pull a card of any level.)

• I-P: Draw and reveal 1 card. If it is a Spell Card: Draw 1 more card. (Colons are used for conditional effects like these, but I chalk this up more to a typo, since you did it correct below)
• Q-Z: Select 1 Monster Card in your Graveyard, and add it to your hand.

2900 ATK/ 3200 DEF

Creativity: 10/10 (Brilliant use of having different effects based on different conditions.)
Balance: 9/10 (Can be easily summoned using Cyber Magician, T.G. Rush Rhino and Miracle Synchro Fusion. Also, its fusion material monsters aren't hard to find in many decks (T.G. Hyper Librarian and Effect Veiler are at least semi-staples). That said, it has no built in protection, which makes it a red hot target for any and all destruction effects. This card would need some further playtesting to see how easy it is to summon and make it explode.)

If you control a face-up DIVINE monster; You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). (Conditions for conditional SS cards go first. also, its "Special Summon this card, not "Special Summon this monster") If you do, it gains the following effect(s) depending on which monster(s) you control:

"Obelisk the Tormentor"- Special Summon one "Sacrifice Token" (Warrior-type/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) (It's "Level 1", not 1-star), and Special Summon another identical Token during each of your Standby Phases, as long as this card (When a card refers to itself like this, it's "this card" not "this monster" and "Obelisk the Tormentor" remain face-up on your side of the field.
"Slifer the Sky Dragon" (I know the English name is an ego trip for 4Kids, but if the card is printed in English, you have to use the Official English name)- As long as this card and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" are on your side of the field, you are considered to have 2 more cards in your hand than you actually hold.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra"- Tribute this monster: gain 2000 Life Points. This turn, "The Winged Dragon of Ra" cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Creativity: 9/10 (Egyptian God support is rather rare to come by, and this thing compliments each of their effects quite well)
Balance: 10/10 (Even if the Egyptian Gods are easier to summon these days, you still need them on the field for this card to have some use. Supports them just enough without making them too powerful)

Balance: 3/10 (As a side deck card, it is too fast, too searchable and too hard to get rid of for a card that is designed to shut down a certain deck type.)

Final Standings:

1st: storyteller (38/40)
2nd: bobandjim (37.5/40)
3rd: dragonsamurai77 (34/40)

Winner: storyteller.

Congratulations storyteller. You can either judge the next round or defer it to the person in second place.

Last place, Awesome.

Anyways its good to know what ive done wrong, plus i can barely edit anything on the posts now for some reason

As for bobandjim's card, I will guarantee it is easy to summon. I run a deck I call T.G. Spellbane which runs T.G.s, Supreme Arcanite Magician, and Miracle Synchro Fusion. Arcanite's summoning condition is pretty much the same, if a littler more lenient.

I won by wording
As bobandjim knows, I failed really bad in keeping up with judging on the other forum last time, so I'm reluctant to judge here, but... passing the baton back to bobandjim seems rather uninteresting.

I'm going to take a comp I liked from the other forum.

Make 3 cards, including 1 ace monster. They are, obviously, expected to work together somehow.
Each card can only have 1 effect.
You will be DQ'd if you stray from the criteria.

The judging criteria I will use:

Wording/5 (I don't like placing emphasis on wording, though it obviously needs some work)
Balance/10
Usefulness/10
Creativity/10
Synergy/2 (1 pt for synergy within the 3 cards, 1 pt for synergy with existing cards)

Example:
Deadman Wonderland
Field Spell

Monsters in the Graveyard gain 200 ATK for each monster in its controller's Graveyard.


One Foot in the Grave
Equip Spell

The equipped monster is also treated as being in its controller's Graveyard.


Deadman Morphing
DARK 8*
Zombie/Effect
0/0

Once per turn: You can target 1 monster in either player's Graveyard; this card's original ATK becomes the selected monster's ATK.


Yes, I realize these cards break a few rules. Who cares? Have fun. Go.

Are we allowed to add conditions to any of these cards' effects?

A stand-alone condition will count as an "effect".
You can add conditions to an effect, yes.

BTW, the judging will be applied to each card in each entry. Don't slack on any one, or it'll drag your score down a lot...!

I looked up Deity cards currently in the game. All but the flamvel 1 (Which requires fire cards) are for the venom cards something of which this card won't easily synergize with (From my outlook that is).

I'll keep this in mind, but I don't have time to enter my card Ideas today

Got some time lets see what I can do. (Oh and By my understanding you don't care for the rule book just like the rest of exsistance?) Gues I'll use this page to further my card set ideas .

Forming the Seal

Counter Trap

Activate only when your opponent activates a spell or trap card effect while you control a "Deity" card. Negate that card's effect(s) while it is on the field.

Crystal Shards
If you control 1 or more "Sealed Deity" cards: Draw 2 cards, then discard 1.

Deity Guardian Alexander
Lv 4 Light Machine/Effect ATK/500 DEF/2100

While this card is face-up on the field "Deity" cards cannot have their ATK, or Def changed.

Please notify me if these infringe on the rules...

Well if storyteller never shows up again, I'll call AWOL judging and declare a winner so that the game can keep going.

Well, considering there's only 3 entrees, there isn't much to judge ._.

I guess I'll do it sometime tonight.

Phoenix Wright 85/111

Pagliacci the clown
Earth/Tuner/Level 3/Warrior/1400/200
When this card is changed from Attack Position to face-up Defense Position: Special Summon 1 "Clown" monster from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position.

Wording 3/5 (Minor capitalization mistakes and wrong word)
Balance 7/10 (Makes for interesting rank 3 Xyz combos with Stumbling. Can also summon Alfredo, but nicely balanced since it does so in DEF)
Usefulness 10/10 (Not splashable, but very powerful in clown control)
Creativity 5/10 (average clown control trigger + search effect)
Synergy 2/2

Clown Call
Spell/Normal
Add 1 level 3 or lower "Clown" monster to your hand.

Wording 5/5
Balance 10/10
Usefulness 10/10 (Not at all splashable, but definitely useful)
Creativity 2/10 (well, you probably guessed this score was going to be low)
Synergy 2/2

Alfredo, King of Clowns
Synchro/Level 9/Warrior/2800/0
1 "Clown" Tuner+ 2 or more non-tuner "Clown" Monsters
When this card is changed from Attack Position to face-up Defense Position: Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field

Wording 5/5
Balance 8/10 (Not too hard to summon with Pagliacci, and a relatively balanced eff)
Usefulness 8/10 (field nuke that's not likely to survive past first use off eff)
Creativity 6/10 (again, not overly creative)
Synergy 2/2


D-Shinkirou 66/111

Forming the Seal
Counter Trap
Activate only when your opponent activates the effect of a Spell or Trap Card effect while you control a "Deity" card. Negate that card's effect(s) while it is on the field.

Wording 2/5 (-1 for old wording)
Balance 10/10 (While it is balanced...)
Usefulness 1/10 (There is such a thing as being too balanced. With only 3 Deity monsters, this card is not at all useful)
Creativity 7/10 (mini-fiendish chain for S/T)
Synergy 0/2 (While they do support Deities, there is little "synergy" going on)

Crystal Shards
If you control 1 or more "Sealed Deity" cards: Draw 2 cards, then discard 1.

Wording 5/5
Balance 9/10 (Deity DW ftw?)
Usefulness 1/10 (There is "Seald Deity" cards in existence. The only way to use this card would be with DHERO DD)
Creativity 4/10 (Mini-Graceful Charity)
Synergy 0/2

Deity Guardian Alexander
Lv 4 Light Machine/Effect ATK/500 DEF/2100
While this card is face-up on the field, "Deity" cards cannot have their ATK or Def changed.

Wording 5/5
Balance 9/10 (Powerful DEF for a lv 4, and fodder for Eltanin)
Usefulness 4/10 (Vennommonga would die without ATK modification. Not too useful)
Creativity 4/10
Synergy 0/2


bobandjim 66/111

Jack of Spades
Level 5
Earth
Warrior/Effect
When this card is Tribute Summoned; Special Summon 1 “Ace of Spades” from your Deck.
2500/1300

Wording 5/5
Balance 5/10 (A single tribute 2500 ATK that SS another from Deck. The Sacreds summon from the hand, and they don't even have 2500 atk).
Usefulness 8/10 (total of 5000 ATK for a single Tribute is something)
Creativity 5/10 (feels like Sacreds)
Synergy 1/2 (no synergy with existing cards)

Ace of Spades
Level 5
Earth
Warrior/ Effect
When this card is Tribute Summoned: Special Summon 1 “Jack of Spades” from your Deck.
2500/1300

Same as above, except further -2 for creativity.

Black Jack
Rank 5
Warrior/XYZ/Effect
Once per turn: You can detach 1 XYZ Material from this card; draw 1 card and discard 1 random card from your opponent’s hand.

Wording 0/5 (Missing materials, ATK/DEF)
Balance 6/10 (hard to tell without stats/materials, but a +2 per detach is pretty powerful)
Usefulness 8/10 (again, hard to tell without stats/materials)
Creativity 6/10 (not overly new)
Synergy 0/2 (supported by above two, I assume, but does not support them back).


Phoenix Wright wins.

Mad Hatter
* * * *
EARTH/Fiend/Effect
ATK 1000 DEF 1000

During your Main Phase: You can send one card from your hand to the Graveyard; Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard.
When this card is Special Summoned by its own effect: Target one wearable item (article of clothing or accessory) you are wearing and one that your opponent is wearing, and offer that you will both switch those wearable items, and wear them for the remainder of the duel, then apply the appropriate effect (Wearable items that have already been switched using this card's effect cannot be targeted.);

-If your opponent accepts: Both players switch and wear the selected wearable items for the remainder of the duel; This card cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects while it remains face-up on the field. This card cannot be destroyed by battle.

-If your opponent rejects: Destroy this card.

If your Life Points are less than or equal to half of your opponent's Life Points, and you have no cards in your hand, your opponent must accept the offer. This card cannot be used as Synchro Material or Xyz Material for the Special Summon of a Synchro Monster or Xyz Monster. This monster cannot be Tributed.
The effects of "Mad Hatter" can only be used once per turn.



Lol. This card would be very... 'situational'... ;3

Also: Meklords :O

^that card is going to make every male duelist fear dueling a female duelist.
...unless they are into crossdressing, that is.

I'd have no problem dueling a girl who uses that card. Well... winning might be a problem.... >Total Perv< Also, what's wrong with cross-dressing? It's just silly, not something to be afraid of. Swapping clothes with a sweaty unkempt person, however.....

I wanna see someone wear a bunch of silly/awesome hats or whatever, that the opp will WANT to wear, to a tourny and use this card. XD

Lol I will trade you 5 tins of cards for 3 copies of that card lol.

As for the comments on usefulness and my cards I have changed the word Deity to Genju in my cards so now (To my knowledge) they do not have any synergy out side of them selves and other cards I create on the page or others (That specifically being why I stated I would use the competition to expand my custom card set).

Regarding this weeks comp I will admit defeat to the awesomeness of the mad hatter.

Capitalism

Spell Card

Both players banish 1 monster card face-down from their deck. Then both players reveal the banished monster; the player who revealed the monster with the lowest level adds that card to their hand. If both cards have the same level; inflict 1000 to both players.

Competition, drives down prices, but if it drops too low, then there is a recession.

Let me try :/
