=Legendary CardMakers=

[-Griffin]

I was just talking to Icy about an idea, he wondered if it could make an interesting LCM project.

Let's see what you guys think.

 

The idea is interacting with parts of a card that you never usually would - rarity, set-ID, serial number, length of name, or other general things that no current Yugioh Card considers. Not doing this in an old MTG Unhinged style, where it's clearly a joke, but considering all the cards it would affect and making the results balanced and playable - maybe even creating whole Deck types by the way cards can be linked in an obscure manner by just a few cards.

 

So, ideas? Is it stupid to break the mold in this way, or is it an interesting concept?

Is this an LCM exclusive project or is it open to ECM like me?

You too.

Rarity and set-ID are definitely things I have already seen before (at least one of them more than once). They never received good ratings, not because the cards where bad, but because everyone said that you shouldn't work with that. They are different for different versions of the same card.

 

Serial number would give to much of a problem with TCG/OCG cards, because serial numbers are given randomly.

 

Length of Name sounds interesting and never saw it before but this could also give a lot of problem with real cards too. And if your giving them all long names so that they can be linked you could also just give it an archetype.

 

Maybe something that could work better is cards with curtain effects. You know those Flamwell cards that all have 200 DEF? And that they don't search Flamwell monsters but monsters with 200 DEF? Well you could give the cards little effects like: "If this card attacks an opponent's monster, it gains 300 ATK during the Damage Step only." and search for that. Or even give them combo's of curtain effects. You could create support cards like this:

"Select 1 card you control that has at least 1 or more of the following effects: ● 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. ● Draw 1 card. The select card gains 1000 ATK for each one of the effects it's has until the End Phase of this turn.".

Clearly this is a support for "Airknight Parshath" and note that as long as a card has the text "draw 1 card" in its effect it works, the cost or how many times the effect can be used wouldn't mather. This is just an example of a suggestion.

Not former, all "Former LCM" are considered active when they post. But I'll update when I find the time.

Of course, these are usually not touched and won't cross TCG/OCG boundaries. The point of making the cards, however, is to figure out which cards WOULD be affected and make it balanced. For example, making a Fusion which specifies "any 2 monsters originally released in a "Metal Raiders" booster pack" - suddenly a big group of cards can receive a link and gain use. Different version's of the same card might interact differently, but "oh well" is my answer, there's nothing in the rule book that says "card's cannot affect cards with the same name differently" - part of the fun of making cards is to change the way the game plays, no?

The main point I'm making is linking previously un-linked cards. Selecting something like "x DEF" could work, but I'm just going for a different idea.

Well you said: "cards can be linked in an obscure manner by just a few cards." so I thought you just ment more something like a weird way of wording it. Mostly because you also said Lenght Name.

The: "suddenly a big group of cards can receive a link and gain use" doesn't work. In every pack there are cards better than others so even though they got a use they won't really be used.

 

Anyway It just that you named some things I don't care about when making a card: Rarity, Set-ID, Serial Number and Length of a Name. I don't think you should link cards on things that most of the time are done randomly or for selling more packs.

Hey, guys. Long time no see, eh?

 

I do think that i am a has-been. I'm not around much anymore, but i have been itching to come back.

 

Though no one will remember me.. =]

 

but, until such an impossible thing would happen, i would like to apply for this club under the flag of "Former Legendary Card Maker."

Thanks, Icy, for viewing my post.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Kale when you post you practically flaunt. I really don't take kindly to that.

But I do remember you as an LCM.

Meh. I don't know. People like my cards but I don't know if I'd be classified as "Legendary." =/

Legendary, as Ive said many times in this thread. Is vastly different than anyone thinks. Legendary is a testament to being unique, not being better than everyone else.

[Eury]

I'M UNIQUE

 

...

 

I think. I try to be as unique as possible while making cards. It's the names that get to me. >_>

Then PM me cards you think would prove it (don't post it). And I'll do a rate, pass it on to those who would judge, and we'll see. Please include Monsters, and SPELLS AND TRAPS. If all you do is one, it'll seriously hinder the decision.

[Eury]

So, 3 Monsters, Spells and Traps each?

 

Is that enough?

 

I'll work on it tomorrow. If I have time.

Currently existing cards, and threads only. If you're going to make new ones in an effort to impress, don't bother. I want to see what you HAVE DONE. Not what you WILL DO.

[Eury]

Oh....

 

Well. Um.

 

I don't think I've made very many Spells and Traps. =/

 

I'll have to check.
