Hello to all. This is Yankeefan. For those of you who do not know, this is the thread that got me my title of a great rater. Now, I don't just say stupid little tiny reviews, no, I do full on reviews.

However, if you are looking at the old reviews, and think you can do good, think again. I have changed, and am a harsher rater, and there will be a big change in the rates ^_^

 

 

So, without further ado, here is the first review in a very long time:

 

Godhand by Blackwind

36362ek7.jpg

 

Wow, it sure has been a long time seinse I saw a card that I deemed fit to review. And, good god, it's a spell of all things!

This card was created by Blackwind, a good card maker, that, for some unknown reason, has not gotten the popularity he should have. Maybe I can help ;)

 

From the first minute, you think it's great. Just look at the name, I mean, it's freaking named GODHAND! How can you go wrong with Godhand? xD

 

It immideatly starts out with getting you interested with a name like that, plus, the pic helps to ;)

 

Now, it starts by right away saying that it can only be activated on a certain condition. ah, but not fear my friends, it's a easy condition. If you have 3 or less cards in your hand besides this card, then you can play it.

Once played, all cards in your hand are sent to the Deck. Then we get to the Godhand part. Just like Card destruction, your draw the same number of cards your discarded, but unlike card destruction, you get to choose any cards you want! How about that!? The part where it's 3 or less save it from Exodia. Now, your saying, can't I just play a card drawing card? And my answer is, NO! AHAHAHA!

 

See, here is the balancer. Once you choose your cards, your Deck is removed from play. Then, it continues the balance. Every time you play 1 of the cards you got, you lose 2000 Life Points. But, it's not really somthing to worry about if you have the right cards in your hand, just wait a few tur-WRONG!

During the end phase, you send all your cards to the grave! So, this card truly is a do or die thing. If you play it, you had better hope to, well, God, that you pick the right cards. If your wrong, well, game over.

 

Blackwind does a great job of balancing this, but it's increadibly easy to abuse. If you run a chaos deck, and have a monster on the field with graveyard dependant power, well, say hello to some kind of godly attack. Heck, while the cards you get should be good, with this card, the cards you already have on the field can finish the job.

 

This card is great, but does have it problems. 1 such problem is, why would you shuffle your deck if your choosing 3 or fewer cards and sending the rest away from the game?

Also, the part about paying 2000 lp, the grammar/ocg is a lil off. But lets worry about that with the rates.

 

BTW, guess what!?

TIME TO WORRY! XD

 

 

 

 

Rates:

Name: 9/10 I love this name, it is kind of funny to me, and it just screams "I AM GODHAND!" But, shouldent there be a space between god and hand? ;)

 

Pic: 7/10 Pretty nice, but, there are some words on the pic, and, well, is yugioh advertizing booze now? xD

 

Effect: 7/10 A very nice effect. It is very balanced to me, but, it's, as I said before, easily abused.

 

Balance: 7/10 I have to say it again, easily abused, but very good balance.

 

Grammar/ocg: 7/10 Good job, a few errors, but nice ^_^

 

Rarity Seinse: Ultra Rare?: 8/10 Yeah, it needs to be pretty rare with an effect like that.

 

Overall: 45/60 or 7.5/10

 

Grade: C

 

To me, this card would be: BANNED

Simply because of it's easily abused effect. It's like Last Turn with it's ability to do just about anything.

 

Other notes:

 

Very good card man, while 7.5/10 doesn't seem great, it is ^_^

 

I hope to see more card from you here soon.

 

Cheers,

Wow, I got a review and didn't have to ask for it! Sweet! :D

 

Thanks a lot Yankee, especially for taking the time to this in depth. :)

 

...Oh bugger. I forgot to photoshop the signature out. I was cleaning up a lot of pics and that one passed under the scanner... too bad. :/

Well, I could not find a awsome card for today, but I found 1 from yesterday that I can use ;)

 

Lance Soldier - Hezkath by Darth Browarod

241qdlx.jpg

If you activate 2 or more Push Spell Cards this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned this way, it gains 300 ATK. Once per turn, if a monster exists on the field with an ATK higher than it's original ATK, you can return 1 face-down card on the field to it's owner's hand. If you activate this effect, this card's ATK becomes equal to it's original ATK. During your Standby Phase, if this card's ATK equals it's original ATK, you can activate 1 Push Spell Card from your hand.

 

Welcome everybody to another one of the great reviews of Yankeefan on Yugiohcardmaker.net.

Today, we will be taking a look at a card that is part of a original set by our great Super Mod, Darth Browarod.

This card is from the Push Spell Set. While, this obviosly is not a spell, this is a great card for it.

 

Well, I think I have dragged on enough of the intro, lets get right into this, shall we?

 

Well, unnfortunatly, I cannot start this review in a good manner. This card immideatly starts with a ocg error. If you activate 2 or more Push Spell Cards this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

This turn?

Should it not be:

"If you activate 2 or more Push Spell Cards in the same turn, you may Special Summon this card from your hand"

I think so...

But after that, it turns out to be a good card ^_^

That effect is good, if you manage to use just 2 Push Spells, you get to Special Summon a strong lv 6 monster. Want another reason to do so? If he IS summoned this way, forget the 2450 monster, you have a 2750 atk monster!

Thats the point in the duel where you say, "WHAT NOW LOSER!?" to your opponent.

Then, this card goes in a totally different direction, but yet, sticks to the original effect.

If a mosnter is on the field with, lets say Axe of Dispair on it, and has more atk than it has on it's card text, or, original atk, you can return any, ANY face down card on the field to the owners hand. This is increadibly overpowerd by the fact that the part with, once per turn was put in, but not somthing like, "Once per turn, during your Standby Phase...", thus, this effect can be used during either players turn. Imagine the complete control you can have over your opponent with this. Heck, it can be used during the freaking battle pahse for all I care!

 

Well, Brow does try to balance this a bit, and fails a lil. He then says if you use the effect, it's attack goes back to normal, and it stays there. Sadly, thats not much of a loss, it's only 300 ATK, and you may have stopped your opponent, maybe even crippled him/her.

 

The, we get right back to the power, if during your standby phase, it has it's original attack, you get use a push spell card from your hand! How grand! That...is...WAY OVERPOWERD!...You can just tribute 1 monster on your field, and use that your next turn, or, why not use the first effect, then your next turn, use a push spell, i mean, it's fun!

 

This card, at a first look, seems balanced and good, but it's sercretly hiding it's pure and utter power.

 

Ummm, I guess there is nothing I can say now, this is just increadibly strong, just, there is no words, i don't even know what to say anymore, come on, lets cut to comercial -

Ratings:

 

Name: 8/10 Pretty good name, nothing special, just, good.

 

Pic: 9/10 Actually, a pretty good pic, good work ^_^

 

Effect: 8/10 pretty nice at a first look, and it had it's good moments.

 

Balance: 4/10 Umm, you tried, you really did, and, being able to do it only once per turn helps, and the 300 atk thing does a lil, but, being able to do this at any time can really just kill the opponent.

 

Rarity Sense: Common: 4/10 It's not a good idea for this to be easily found in a pack, but meh, who knows anymore? xD

 

Level sense: 8/10 Pretty nice, 6 seems right, but, a 2 tribute card would make it at least a lil more balanced.

 

 

Overall:

41/60 or 6.8/10

 

To me, this card would be: Actually, idk anymore, but if it where my choice, it would be Banned, simply because of it's ability to take over the game, but, in real life, it would be Limited because, well, DAD is out there, and, he isn't banned, lol

 

 

Other notes:

 

Well, on first look man, I thought it was a fantastic card.

While 6.8/10 is not a good looking grade, it's an ok grade. You did a good job of everything else, such as the pic and name. It's still a good card.
