Jovi Siagian Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 OCG OCG stands for Official Card Grammar. OCG is the way in which your card effect is worded. If it is not worded as it would be on an official Yu-Gi-Oh! Card, it is said to contain OCG errors, just so you know. There are various types of OCG. Heren you can learn about them. The most commonly known types are Old and New OCG. Remember, Old existed once, therefore it is right, however there are few Old OCG bits that are deemed unusable. Old OCG Old OCG is what has been used in the past on Card Text, some of it is still usable, while some of it isn’t. You will find Old OCG on old cards such as the Blue Eyes Set to say Dark Crisis etc. Unusable Old OCG - Mode - It is Position, NEVER MODE. - Magic - In the past, Magic was used. Then they replaced it with Spell. - Move - In some old cards, Move was used as a way for saying Add, Add should be used instead. Card Example = LOD-028 Reinforcement of the Army - Fuses - On the old Polymerization, its card text was very bleak and simply said 'Fuses'. - Sacrifice / Sacrificing / Offer / Offering - This terms were used to basically say Tribute / Tributing. Usable Old OCG - as a result of battle - Nowadays we say ‘by battle’. - your side of the field / your opponent's side of the field – Now, it’s ‘your opponent you control / your opponent controls’. - when this card is Normal Summoned, Special Summoned or Flip Summoned - Nowadays we say Summoned. New OCG New OCG, is now commonly used, it is up to date, and is quicker to write and explains things in a simpler Version. Try to use New OCG if you can. You will find New OCG on cards from like Invasion of Chaos to Shadow of Infinity. You will find New New OCG from SOI to like now. New OCG List This list will be split into 3 Sections; Expert New OCGNew New OCGMaster Rule OCG All are correct, just choose which one you like the best, or mix and match. Expert OCG - by battle - - Don’t say Points - after an ATK or DEF alter, do not say points. - Summoned - When meaning all types of Summon. - Inflict xxxx damage to your opponent - is used instead of saying something like ' inflict xxxx damage to your opponent's Life Points'. - can attack your opponent's Life Points directly - instead of the old 'can inflict direct damage to your opponent's Life Points'. - Can - not may. New New OCG - You control / your opponent controls - Used instead of ‘your side of the field / your field' etc. - by battle - - Summoned - When meaning all types of Summon. - Inflict xxxx damage to your opponent - is used instead of saying something like ' inflict xxxx damage to your opponent's Life Points' - can attack your opponent directly - instead of the old 'can inflict direct damage to your opponent's Life Points'. - Can - not may. Master Rule OCG The Master Rule is to follow the OCG which will be released with the new 5D's cards. - Advance Summon / Advance Summoned - To replace Tribute Summon / Summoned. - Release / Releasing - To Replace Tribute / Tributing. Those 2 terms aren’t used in TCG. So avoid using them. - Extra Deck - To replace Fusion Deck. Extra OCG So far I have given examples of some of the different types of OCG, here are some extras. Piercing damage You know Piercing damage, don’t you? If you don’t, I’ll try to explain it. By default, Battle Damage can only be applied when 2 monsters in Attack Position battle by subtracting the ATK of both monsters. But, a monster with Piercing ability can give Battle Damage even if it battles against a monster in Defense Position. Some monsters with Piercing ability are Elemental Hero Bladedge and Ancient Gear Golem. To state that a monster has Piercing ability, write it like this; ‘During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent.’ However, you can also write it in a shorter way. Just write; ‘This card inflicts Piercing damage.’ Simpler. But there’s only one card that uses that on its lore, which is Cyberdark Horn. Both ways of writing are acceptable. Counters When referring to Counters, they DO NOT go like this: "Spell Counter" They simply say Spell Counter (counter / counters by themselves do not start with a Cap C, only if they follow a type of Counter). Monster Types When referring to monster types like Elemental Hero's, it goes like this; "Elemental Hero" monster When referring to a Subtype, it goes like this; Toon monster (Sometimes Monster has a Cap M after the Sub) When referring to a card name it goes like this; "Elemental Hero Sparkman" Numbers Do remember to say a number and not the word when writing quantities; Example. Draw 1 Card, not, Draw one card. If a user creates a card with a unique effect, that has no Officially Correct Way of wording it, then the card can be looked to be correct, and the way it is worded is fine. Etc. Grammar Grammar on cards is a lot easier to remember then OCG. It is basically making sure words have Cap Letters.

Kazuki Shuheiwa Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Bump. Need OCG fix for this: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by Tributing 3 monsters. This card is unaffected by the effects of Trap cards. At each of your End Phases, you must pay 1000 Life Points. If you don't pay, destroy this card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhHerro Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Good work on finally making a working one. Keep it constantly updated with each new set, etc. Take the stuff out of the spoiler - it makes it ugly and it hurts my eyes =/ Just say that Dj originally did it, and you've made edits here and there. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Darkness Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I need OCG help!! This is the effect at the moment: During each of your End Phases, put 1 Manta Counter on this card. This card gains 200 ATK and DEF for every Manta Counter on it. If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster, and the number of Manta Counters on this card are equal to the Level of the Synchro Monster minus the level of this card, you can Synchro Summon the Synchro Monster without a non-Tuner monster. How would I word the highlighted bit correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
