In my opinion it is because one of the main points of this website is to post realistic looking cards (pop culture or Realistic) and hone your card making abilities without correct ocg that is not achivable and also wierd looking cards are not very nice to look at :D

Yes it is. You need to make evrything perfect, from spelling to grammar to naming as well. You also have to focus on Balance in effect and ATK and DEF points. See the way I base my cards is I base it on a seesaw. One part should be up and one below. I think that's the way I understand Yu-Gi-Oh Cards. It's like in FMA, You gotta give something critical in order to get something good in return. What I mean is, you got to lose something big in order to achieve something cool.

OCG = Official Card Grammar/Official Card Game.

 

Yes it is important to maintain a nice level of understanding for OCG. But as you know from any sort of English or other language dialect, this need not be more exact than how much you can interpret your effect properly. Which means that, while your OCG has to be at least understandable, it need not be more than that.

 

Even in Realistic Cards, because peoples ego will be more than happy to correct it for you. Not to mention, having everything perfect especially OCG takes away from the creative aspect because you're so worried about how well people will see your words that you just ignore how bland a card is. So no, OCG is not important. Only as important as you are able to interpret your intended card effect. Any more is sheer idiocy.

The effect printed on the card must follow the Official Card Grammar to be considered decent. In the case of unique effects with no previous equivalent, it might be needed to tweak the existent OCG to fit your effect. However, you cannot by any means say that: "when this card is tuned, destroy 1 card in the hand" would be acceptable.

 

My advice would be this: Use existent OCG as much as you can, and tweak when absolutely needed.

OCG lost it's meaning when nubs started using it. They ruined it by saying "OCG error" and not pointing it out. People like that should be warned on sight.

 

By any means, I'm not saying that cards shouldn't have good OCG, what needs to be said is that cards should have at least understandable OCG.

OCG isn't important... it's the concept and meaning of the effect that matters' date=' as well as balance. I know this and I'm not even a Card Maker. :|

"when this card is tuned get one level 4 to hand" is a fully acceptable effect according to mr. Spaplespon here.

 

I disagree.

Wrong. I didn't mention Grammar in my post; I only mentioned OCG (which has nothing to do with Grammar itself, but only Card Grammar), so it's safe to assume that proper Grammar is to be used. Of course, it's also safe not to assume it because I didn't mention it. My bad?

I'm still disagreeing.

I said that concept and effect mattered... and that is just sheet.

 

Plus, what I said was similar to what Icy said in the first place, but I don't see you disagreeing with him. Know why? Because you know that he'll pwn your ass so hard you won't be able to feel it for a month.

OCG only matters when you post cards in Realistic Cards.

 

It's ONLY Common Sense...I mean really, it doesn't take a Brain Surgeon to figure this out. When you post a card in REALISTIC CARDS.......the card has to be as REALISTIC as possible. This also goes for OCG. If you are the kind of Crybaby that doesn't want to be graded on OCG, then post your card in Any Others Cards instead of Realistic......like I said...Common f***ing sense.
