chedbonlahor Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 My Card To Rival The Dark Magician what do you think: An age ago, this majestic sorcerer wielded the most potent of dark magic. He now lurks within the solitude of the shadows abject, alone and vengeful. Ancient books of propecy predict his wrathful return and dipict his almighty struggle for power with the Dark Magician.

legendhiro Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 its not anything to rival anything. dark magician is a normal monster with NO EFFECT. it is only good because of its many support cards. this has no support cards whatsoever. not to mention it has the same exact stats as DM anyway. give it some support cards, preferably ones that aren't just versions of DM's support cards and then maybe it'll be a decent rival for him. so far: 3/10 with support cards added: sky's the limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember way back in the beginning, i'm talking St D Yugi the DM was simply the DM and was in fact balanced, i'm doing exactly the same with my sorcerer, as I said its more to so with storytelling that to do with the cards themselves, the imagery and myth surrounding the DM always intruiged me so I wanted to branch out on that hopefully you will underatand, and if you are lucky I may make some support cards for it This is a rival for the dark magician himself no support cards, engage you brain, if you have one if not search for one and use your imagination.

legendhiro Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 i can see your point. my rating comes from the fact that it is underpowered as a card. i never said i didn't personally like it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricksy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 it's a great vanilla card, and great story. The only thing is that I would have made the card's text much shorter, just like Dark Magician's. and then i would have made a side story about it. Another thing is that the red background kinda sucks. i dont like it. i would change the background and it would get bumped up to an 8 but until then, 7/10. And one more thing, an rival for a DARK magician would be a LIGHT magician right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the LORE i was toying with something short like the DM's but how was the reader ever going to know the story??? With the background, the image itself is one I got of deviantart I edited it but I cant get it any better than that (If you have a pic for me to use I would gladly take it) but I am looking and am open to other images. In terms of the rivalry issue i was going to go with the exact opposite type of rival but I find that's a little cliche and not quite dark enough. So because I like the dark motif I went for a parallel rival, so i a sense one running at a equal level rather than an opposite one making the rivalry darker and more intense.

Everyone can make a rival if that's just copying stats and making up a Lore[/quote'] Please......are you lecturing me on how to make cards, ha thats a joke, firstly sort you cards out before you bring you simple oppinion here. Now let me take you through step by step why you are wrong. It takes a lot of planning to come up with a card like this:1. What kind of rival is it - is it a parallel rival striving for similaar goals? Is it an equal and opposite rival with stark and flagrant contrast? is it an underdog type rival which attracts the audience? These are all things you need to think about and incorperate into the card.2. You pass over the LORE as if it is nothing. THE LORE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU FOOL. You said "Everyone can make a rival if that's just copying stats and making up a Lore" it isnt easy to come up with a good lore in fact that is where most vanilla card makers fall down.3. I dont expect to to understand the art of mythology and storytelling behind the cards but it gives them another dimention and that is what I tried to do. I have seen your cards and they are patetic attempts, people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
