Saiba Aisu Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hello, everyone. So, anyways, I recently decided to take a break from working with the Fancy Heroes, which had been monopolizing all of my cardmaking as of late, and try my hand at something else. In this case, I decided to give you guys a sneak peak at another of the many Japanese-styled cards cards which will be featured in my current writing project, Days of the Black Apple. As one of the Monarchs, Erdd will be a signature monster used by an important character that has yet to be introduced. As always, your comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks to Chizuru for the katakana for Erdd's name. === Erdd, the Undead Monarch (Actual Image Link: http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll217/GXCyber_Star/EUM.png?t=1266962166) - Image by Jazin Kay. Erdd the Undead MonarchLevel 6DarkZombie-Type/EffectATK 2400 / DEF 1000When this card is Tribute Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from either player's Graveyard. When the Special Summoned monster is removed from the field, remove it from play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Master Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 dude how do you make japanese style cards?..... 8/10 great effect id use it to revive my Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon or Malevolent Mech - Goku En Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm just gonna copy and paste the reply I keep having to use, haha. "It's a pretty complicated and long-term process that combines an online text translator and extensive editing with either GIMP or Photoshop." Thanks, I'm glad you like him. You could even fetch a Plaguespreader Zombie for some nice Synchro action, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Not too bad, might be a little too good, in some cases, but overall a well made card. I think they are done with the Monarch series, anyways, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Shaymin:. Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Like How its In Japanese Good OCG Good Pic Well Balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Turtle: I love your nick. It's pretty damn kickass. And in regards to your comment, it's a pretty powerful card, yes. I'm toying with the idea of negating the effect of the Special Summoned monster in order to balance it out; for the meantime, however, I think it's fine, especially with the March 1st Banlist. Shaymin: Thanks very much, I'm really glad to hear you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Master Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Guess i shouldnt hold my breath for a tutorial any time soon huh.......... This card would work well with Zombie World becuase it allows it to summon any monster at that point like an overpowered Monster Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yeah, that's the idea - the character who plays this card in my story will be playing a Zombie-based Deck that includes Zombie World. It's not overpowered, exactly - Tribute Summons aren't overly easy to pull off in a format with so many cards that can prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Master Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thats cool... is this that characters Ace Card or just a pawn to summon that ace card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 The way I'm currently looking at it, this will definitely be one of his ace cards, if not the ace card. I really need to get back to work on writing my project, haha - thanks for reminding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Master Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 ummm no problem if u want you can use this card for that character to help re summon the monarch[spoiler=Zombie Mistress] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 nice to see more Japanese cards again this monarch is good for OCG, a shame you couldn't make it a little different from the rest and give it an effect while it's on the field as well 9.4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks, Ragnarok, I'm glad you like him. Uh, I actually went pretty far from the standard Monarch effect, since all of the TCG Monarchs have generic effects. In this respect, Erdd is the only one with a Type-Specific ability.

Guest Ixigo Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 This card would've made for some gold moments in the current (previous?) format. Against an LS deck PSZ is so easy to end up in the opponent's Grave during the End Phase, meaning that they can't revive it during this turn with its effect - so you bring out this guy and kindly take it from them, Synchro Summoning your Stardust and maybe getting your own PSZ if you tributed Sangan, AND locking out their PSZ as well. It'd definitely be a staple in Monarch (obvious use being to revive another copy of itself discarded earlier, or PSZ) and Zombie decks. Unfortunately despite the power of the aforementioned situation it wouldn't see much use outside of said decks, either, so as you said it's very theme-specific - although a nice card to side if facing Zombies yourself. The image is quite the awesome choice. All-in-all, a pretty great card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3RA PROWL3R Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 You should turn this into an American TCG card, then send it into Konami and have them turn into a real card. I heard that you can do that. If you pay them, of course. EDIT: I mean English, not American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack781217 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Personally not into the monarch that much.but one suggestion:Erdd, the Undead Monarch should be translated to 不死帝エルド, as in accordance with the existing monarchs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiba Aisu Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 @ Ixigo: Yeah, tell me about it... Apart from ruining my Fortunate Hero Deck, the stupid March Banlist had to affect Erdd, too! Gr. Still, it's really nice to see you've been keeping up with the TCG, even though we haven't dueled in a while. Mhm; as I said, he's the only type-specific Monarch, so his usefulness is limited to a few situations, unless you're playing Zombie World. In a Fan Fic environment, he's even cooler. ^^' You should reply to my PMs sometime, mister; anyways, I'm glad you like him. @ T3RA: Haha, thanks. I really didn't think that was possible. @ Jack: You're not into Monarchs collectively, or you just don't like that one? And uh, I am fairly certain on the character used for them in Japanese (帝), which translates into "Emperor". Running those characters through a translator comes up with "Immortal Emperor", which isn't the same as "Undead". Thanks for the suggestion and effort, though. More comments, please!

Thanks for the suggestion and effort, though.[/quote']Not into them collectively ~_~ not trying to start a pointless argument, but for my naming suggestion As you can see, their naming convention follows that [element] + 帝 + [name]where the element is in kanji and name in katakana And then about 不死, it literally means "not dead", "not dying", "not able to die", so in the most case "immortal" is the most proper english translation. But in the case of a Zombie, it certainly means "undead"If you read carefully, the furigana on top the 不死竜 reads アンデットドラゴン (undead dragon). Of course, "undead" in OCG are translated "zombie" in TCG And one more thing, the current name of your card, エルド帝デッド, reads "Erdd, Monarch Dead". There is nothing "undead" in that name. Anyway, so much for a name... = =" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the new banlist did hit my Vayusworn and Chaos decks pretty hard (and when I had finally perfected them, too), but my newest creation is flourishing ^^. Also, PMs? Wut? Where?

Saiba Aisu Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, having seen the evidence for myself, I'll be sure to edit the card name when I get the chance. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it! /Edit: I changed the card name's characters. Thanks again! Ixigo: PMs asking how you're doing and that we should MSN sometime, fool!
