Legendary CardMakers 2010

[Guest JoshIcy]

I know the structure won't be that good. But what can you do for now right? Me and Yankeefan were talking, and we came to the conclusion that we aren't even near our standards now. Maybe it's lack of competition? Something to that effect.

 

So we're going to take the time and train each and every one of you. Expect your cards to be rejected, expect them to look silly and dwarf even your own standards. Because in the LCM, Public Opinion like how important Card Grammar is doesn't matter. Instead we base it individually, but the quality IS top notch. You will be ridiculed, you will be praised and you will improve. But that requires you to be dedicated as well.

 

Each card you make, you will post in this Thread if you are accepted. You ARE expected to reply to each comment we make even if you don't like us. And you are expected to make changes, even if you disagree but you "see" a better way to make it. Dedication is key, and there is no limit to the number of members. So we will rank you. (Mind you, currently there are only a few Active Ex-LCM: Yankeefan, Zandaa Roisu, -Griffin, Deustodo and I).

Will apply tommorow.

 

But I have a question, can you apply more than once?

[Guest JoshIcy]

You shouldn't even have to post more than one... Cuz once you're in as a trainee, you're obligated to post all your new cards.

[CMRenji]

I'd like to apply.

 

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of (center, do not spoiler):(Image Credit goes to HP Doom for both.)

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing 1 face-up Lv 7 or higher monster you control from play. When this card is Summoned, declare 1 Card Type. All face-up cards of the declared Card Type are destroyed. If this card is destroyed by it's own effect, Special Summon it during your next Standby Phase. Once per turn, you can remove 1 FIRE monster in your Graveyard from play to increase this card's ATK by 1000 until the End Phase. Once per turn, you can destroy 2 face-up cards on the field. This card cannot declare an attack on the turn this effect was activated. During each of your Standby Phases, you lose 600 Life Points.

Post a card you consider your best (center, do not spoiler):

When this card is Summoned, destroy all face-up Spell and Trap cards you control. This card gains 200 ATK for every card destroyed by this effect. Once per turn, you can decrease this card's ATK by 300 to destroy 1 face-up Spell or Trap Card on the field. All Battle Damage inflicted by this monster is increased by 500.

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count): Maybe about 2 or 3 months.

Why do you wish to join: I want to become one of the Best Card Makers on YCM.

What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must): I don't really know. Maybe about 7-8/10

Will you be dedicated?: I will be as dedicated as possible.

Additional Info (something you'd like to say): I believe I am a Good Card Maker. I try to come up with balanced and unique effects and most of my cards get Good to Great ratings. I would like to try to test my skills against some of the Great Card Makers.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Lore? ._.

[CMRenji]

Sorry, I forgot about that. The lore is up there now.

[Limited Edition KING]

You shouldn't even have to post more than one... Cuz once you're in as a trainee, you're obligated to post all your new cards.

I think he means if you're not accepted.

 

Anyway, I'll edit this post with an app later.

 

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing from play 1 "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" from your Extra Deck. There can only be 1 face-up "Malefic" monster on the field. Other monsters you control cannot declare an attack. If there is no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, destroy this card. Once per turn, you can remove 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your Graveyard to destroy cards on the field equal to the amount of Monsters you control.

 

Post a card you consider your best:

 

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned while there is a face-up "Judgment Dragon" on the field. You can Tribute 1 "Judgment Dragon" on the field to have this card gain ATK equal to half of the original ATK of the Tributed monster and inflict damage to both players Life Points equal to half of the original ATK of the Tributed monster. If this card declares an attack, remove it from play during your End Phase.

 

How long have you been making cards consistently:

I couldn't tell I haven't been keeping track, but I would say at least more than 6 months.

 

Why do you wish to join: I want to know how the community thinks of my card making, sure I post cards and then they rate, but some ratings in CC are just completely ridiculous. I want good ratings from Legendary Card makers not from people who don't know what they're talking about.

 

What is your General rating scale: I prefer not to rate cards, I'd rather post my comments on what I think about the cards. But occasionally, I do card reviews on cards where I give rates where A+ would be the highest rating and F would be the lowest. I judge on Image/Name flow, Card Grammar, ATK/DEF suitability and how the card could be used in the TCG.

 

Will you be dedicated?: Yes. Though sometimes I may not be able to reply right away (time differences, school etc).

 

Additional Info: I would like to say that I'm proud of both cards I've put on the app, I couldn't choose which one I though was the best so I just put Lovely Queen there because I liked it more than Malefic Ultimate Dragon.

[Yankee]

"What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must): I don't really know. Maybe about 7-8/10"

 

 

I think you misunderstood the question.

It's asking on how you rate cards. What is your scale? What do you judge? How harshly, ect.

[CMRenji]

I think you misunderstood the question.

It's asking on how you rate cards. What is your scale? What do you judge? How harshly, ect.

Oh, sorry I thought he was asking what my average rating was. Here it is:

[spoiler=Rating Scale]0/10(Unbelievebly Horrible) - You do not get this rating unless you put absolutely no effort into your card. It would be a crime punishable by death to let you continue to make cards like this.

1/10(Extremely Bad) - When you make a card THIS bad, a puppy dies somewhere.

2/10(Very, Very Bad) - This is just horrible. I feel like punching something after seeing this card.

3/10(Very Bad) - This card is bad. That's all there is too say.

4/10(Bad) - The card is pretty bad, but it could possibly be improved.

5/10(Mediocre) - Not good.

6/10(Not too Great) - It's okay, but it still has problems.

7/10(Pretty Good) - Pretty nice. Still several errors but it's overall okay.

8/10(Good) - This card is good. Not Great, but good.

9/10(Very Good) - This card is pretty awesome. There are few errors.

10/10(Excellent) - You do not get this rating unless your card is perfect. I demand Konami to make this card, NOW.

 

 

I judge mainly on Balance, Creativity, Usefulness and OCG. I rate kind of harsh. I usually rate less harsh on New Members since they usually don't know too much about Card Making. But I very rarely rate a card 10/10 unless it is extremely good.

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of (center, do not spoiler):

Lore:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing from play 5 Spell or Trap Cards and 1 Field Spell you control. When this card is Special Summoned, place 1 Sewer-Gas Counter on every monster on the field (except this card). A monster with a Sewer-Gas Counter loses 500 ATK and DEF during each of your Standby Phases. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can Tribute a monster you control with a Sewer-Gas Counter on it to Special Summon 1 "Sewer-Mutant Token" (Beast-Type/WATER/Level 4/ATK 0/DEF 0) with this effect: "Once only, when this card battles with a monster with a Sewer-Gas Counter on it, destroy it immediately without applying damage calculation, then inflict damage to your opponent equal to its ATK or DEF (whichever is higher). This card gains the ATK, DEF, and effect of the destroyed monster."

Post a card you consider your best (center, do not spoiler):

Lore:

"Gogiga Gagagigo" + 1 Machine-Type monster

Once per turn, during your Standby Phase, activate one of the following effects depending on the monster in your Graveyard:

• Gigobyte - Send 1 "Gigobyte" to the top of your Deck. This card can attack your opponent directly this turn. The ATK and DEF of this card become 1000, then increase this card's ATK and DEF by 100 for every Spell and Trap Card on the field, this effect lasts until the End Phase.

• Gagagigo - Send 1 "Gagagigo" to the bottom of your Deck. This card can attack twice this turn. The ATK and DEF of this card become 2000, then increase this card's ATK and DEF by 100 for every Spell and Trap Card on the field, this effect lasts until the End Phase.

• Giga Gagagigo - Remove 1 "Giga Gagagigo" from play. The ATK and DEF of this card become 0 until the End Phase. Destroy cards your opponent controls equal to the number of Spell and Trap cards on the field.

• Gogiga Gagagigo - Halve your Life Points, remove 1 "Gogiga Gagagigo" from play. The ATK and DEF of this card become 5000, then increase this card's ATK and DEF by 100 for every Spell and Trap Card on the field, this effect lasts until the End Phase. This card can attack an additional times equal to the number of "Gigobyte" "Gagagigo" "Giga Gagagigo" "Gogiga Gagagigo" in your Graveyard this turn. During the End Phase, remove all cards in your Graveyard from play.

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count): Ever since I joined, so around 2 months

Why do you wish to join: I want to become a better card maker.

What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must): Creativity /5

Balance & playability /3

Others (OCG) /2

My over dramatic rating scale is in my sig.

Will you be dedicated?: Yes, as much as possible

Additional Info (something you'd like to say): I favor long and complicated effects over simple ones, usually ignoring playability. IMO, creativity > balance & playability, cause not everyone is a skilled duelist.

[Master White]

I'll apply tomorrow.

[The True Ace Attorney]

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of (center, do not spoiler):

 

Post a card you consider your best (center, do not spoiler):

(Though I'll be honest, I'm not sure whether or not it's my best but since it's one of the only with an image plus I do consider to be one of the better ones I've made, it's here.)

 

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count):

Since I joined this site. So that's a couple of months. I've got a hell of a lot of cards that are just stuck in sets that don't have images.

 

Why do you wish to join:

I like to think that I'm generally good at making balanced cards and I want them to be rated fairly.

 

What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must):

OCG/5

Creativity/5

Balance/5

Playability/5

I don't usually rate the pics because they aren't what make a card good.

 

Will you be dedicated?:

Of course. I'm essentially stuck on this site and visit it regularly. There's no reason not to be.

 

Additional Info (something you'd like to say):

I don't usually fish the internet for pics. To me, they aren't what make the card good so I only grab them if I want them.

[.Nu-13]

I'll post my apply in few minutes

[Spoon]

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of:

 

Lore:

1 Tuner + 2 or more non-Tuner monsters

This cards ATK is equal to the total ATK of monsters in your Graveyard minus the total ATK of monsters in your opponents Graveyard. If the result becomes negative, this cards ATK is 0. This card cannot be destroyed by battle while its ATK is 2000 or higher (damage calculation is applied normally). This card cannot be destroyed by your opponents card effects while its ATK is 4000 or higher. This card cannot attack if your Life Points are higher than your opponents. If you have less than 2000 Life Points and if your Life Points are lower than your opponents, this card can attack 1 more time in the same Battle Phase for each 2000 Life Points difference.

 

Post a card you consider your best:

 

Lore:

Your opponent cannot activate effects that target your hand or Deck as long as this card remains face-up on the field. If this card is discarded from your hand or directly sent from your Deck to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect, return it to your hand and gain 800 Life Points for each card that was discarded or sent to the Graveyard by the same effect (including this card).

 

How long have you been making cards consistently:

 

It's been 2.5 months now since I joined this site. Not long, but I made cards throughout the whole time, for Contests, Pop Culture and lately even the Realistic Section... at least in the first 2 sections I'm kinda successful.

 

Why do you wish to join:

 

Because I want to learn something of course. I got attested (partly by myself, partly by the community) to be a horrible Realistic Card Maker, and that's what I want to change.

 

What is your General rating scale:

 

I don't really have one, but if I had to break it down to numbers, it would probably look like this:

 

Creativity: 12/20

Balancing and Playability: 4/20

Picture and Name: 2/20

Grammar (not OCG): 2/20

 

Will you be dedicated?:

 

I wouldn't post if I'm not willing to be ;)

 

Additional Info (something you'd like to say):

 

I have a soft spot for very long and complex effects, and most of the time I don't care for playability, balancing or OCG... I guess that's part of my problems trying to be a solid RC Card Maker :lol: I try to bring something new to the game with every card I make (if possible), always searching for new effects that don't exist yet or powering Archetypes that deserve it, but aren't played (Preferably Iron Chains and Fortune Fairies... I want Fortune Fairies to be in the TCG, now!).

 

That's about it :)

 

So long,

 

Spoon

[Guest ~Cherry~]

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of:

Proof Of Evolution

Activate this card only when you Synchro Summon a Level 10 or higher Synchro Monster. Destroy all monsters your opponent controls and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the combined Level of the destroyed monsters x 400. You cannot conduct your next Battle Phase.

 

Post a card you consider your best:

1 Tuner + 2 or more non-Tuner monsters

This card can only be Synchro Summoned by removing from play the appropriate Synchro Materials in your Graveyard. When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can remove from play 3 cards in your Graveyard to Special Summon 2 DARK Fairy-Type monsters from your Graveyard. They cannot attack this turn.

 

How long have you been making cards consistently: No clue. Probably not long, consistently.

 

Why do you wish to join: Because I've wanted to join this since my days as a bad card maker.

 

What is your General rating scale: Um... I guess I usually rate/comment on a card's usefulness and balance. Sometimes, I happen to miss out on balance though tbh. But I definitely look for a card's usefulness. I'm not really all that harsh unless the card is just stupid broken or completely useless. I don't have a scale.

 

Will you be dedicated?: It depends on if I can think of good card effects or not. I can't promise I will though. But I'll definitely try to be.

 

Additional Info: ...*expecting denial*

[.Nu-13]

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of:

Once per turn, you can select 1 WIND monster in your Graveyard. This card gains the effects(s) of the selected monster. When this card battles, at the end of Damage Step, you can return 1 card on the field to its owner's hand.

 

It was my first card that actually got 10/10

 

Post a card you consider your best:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except from your Graveyard by removing from play 1 Psychic-Type monster from your Graveyard. When this card is Special Summoned this way, take 300 damage for each Psychic-Type monster in your Graveyard or that is removed from play. This card cannot be Tributed, except for the effect of Psychic-Type monster. When this card is Special Summoned, you can draw 1 card.

 

Why do I consider it the best? Because Psychic is my favourite type, and they need something to make them broken. Even more than Frogs.

 

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count):

From the moment I joined. I'm making like 2-3 cards a day. I just don't post them. I like to have reserve of cards to post. For example for contests :D

 

Why do you wish to join:

Because I'm bored and I want to become even better cardmaker.

 

What is your General rating scale:

I rarely actually rate cards, in most cases I just comment them. But if I rate, I use standard 0/10 scale.

 

Will you be dedicated?:

Sure thing.

 

Additional Info:

Nothing particular :D

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

After much deliberation... oh go on then.

 

Applicant: Matt Bahamut

 

Post a Card you yourself are proud of:

 

 

When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, destroy 1 Set card on your opponent's side of the field. When this card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect, place up to 2 'Terra Life' Tokens in your Spell/Trap Card Zone (Terra Tokens are treated as Normal Spell cards). Tribute 1 'Terra Life' Token to Special Summon 'Terra Dragon' from your Graveyard in Attack Position. This card gains 200 ATK for each 'Terra Life' Token on the field.

 

Post a card you consider your best (by best I mean card most likely to be made):

 

 

All monsters with 'D.D.' in their name gain 500 ATK points. During your Standby Phase, both players must select 1 card in their Graveyard and remove it from play. When this card is destroyed, all cards removed from play by this effect are returned to the Graveyard.

 

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count):

 

Since I joined this site about 6 weeks ago.

 

Why do you wish to join:

 

So I can become a better cardmaker. Why else?

 

What is your General rating scale:

 

I don't rate cards in terms of a score, I just say whether I think they are good, bad or indifferent and why in as much detail as possible. In contests I've hosted I rated cards out of 25; 5 for text, 5 for image, 5 for balance, 5 for creativity and 5 for usefulness/playability. I try to judge everyone equally regardless of stature.

 

Will you be dedicated?:

 

As long as I am getting something out of this then yes.

 

Additional Info (something you'd like to say):

 

I am more inclined to create Decks/Archtypes than I do singular cards. I also enter lots of contests for ideas.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Renji: You're in. So start posting your new singles or links to your threads here whenever.

King: Same for you.

Galadrien: You're gonna need work, but accepted.

Spoon: Not bad o_O... Youz in. Start posting your new singles whenever (links for sets).

Laevatein: Lol.. Format needs some work (larger cards make it more of a strain to read for casual people). But yea. Thumbs up.

Matt: You're probably gonna be one of my favs :lol: you'z in.

[Bahamut - Envoy of the End]

Matt: You're probably gonna be one of my favs :lol: you'z in.

 

Hmmm, do you mean favs as in 'I'm looking forward to working with this student with potential' or favs as in 'I'm looking forward to ripping this guy's hopelessness to bits mwahahaha'!?! Beware the moderating overlords. :lol: Just jesting and either way thanks for accepting me.

 

Seeing as I'm in I should point you in the direction of my recently completed Heavy Mech Deck (http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/222514-matt-bahamuts-heavy-mech-deck/). I had the idea after seeing a similar Token-based Monster on here and thought it would be good to make a foe you'd need some strategy to destroy. I'm sure it could do with some expert critique.

[Master White]

My App

 

Card I am proud of:

Lore

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned Except by sending one Synchro monster you control to the graveyard and all cards in your hand. During each of your Draw Phases, you can add up to 2 cards from your Graveyard to your Hand OR Deck instead of conducting your Normal Draw Phase. During each of your End Phases, you can discard 2 cards from your hand to destroy one monster your opponent controls OR 3 cards to destroy one set Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls.

 

The card I consider the best:

Lore

"Red Nova Dragon" + "1 or more Dragon-type monsters." This card cannot be Fusion Summoned except by removing from play the above Fusion materials you control. This card gains 500 ATK for each Dragon-type monster removed from play. This card cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. When an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can remove from play 1 Dragon-type monster to negate the attack and destroy the attacking monster. If you do, you can Special Summon the monster removed from play by this effect at the End Phase of your next turn.

 

 

How long have you been making cards consistently: Almost every day

Why do you wish to join: To see what my rating will be in the LCM style and to have fun.

What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must):

 

I’m starting to really not rate as I like to more or less Judge on the aspect of the idea now, as I have been doing on RC for a week. Before, I used to rate with 7/10 and etc. If I actually liked it a lot, I would judge on balanced, creativity, pic, etc., I would generally give a 12/10 or 11/10 for a buzz kill to see the person happy.

 

Will you be dedicated: Yes, I will be.

Additional Info (something you'd like to say): I just thought what if you cannot log in due to the glitch in the server or driver glitch that I will probably keep receiving. It happened once and I couldn’t log in for two days. Then a different one happened, called itself an SQL that did it for a day, I just might ask that.

------------------------------------

I also used my fusion template because I thought it looked good.

 

Hope you like, hate, etc...

[.Impact]

Personally I would reccomend getting more people to help you out. Id be willing to do it, and if not me someone like .Kan. Itl get hectic with only three people. If I you dont want help then I guess Ill join. Let me know

[♥Łövëły-Ċħän♥]

Hmm question. Must the card we are proud of and our best be different? I'm rather fond of 1 card that I am most proud of and is my best.

[Lexadin]

Ok, expect me to aply tomorow.

[Lord Ursus]

Post a Card You yourself am Proud of (center, do not spoiler):

This card cannot declare an attack. When this card is destroyed by battle or by an effect that targets a monster, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of this card. When this card is Summoned, you can treat its Monster Card Zone as a Memory Zone. While this card is in a Memory Zone, when you would take damage, that damage becomes 0 and this card gains an equal amount of ATK. (A monster in a Memory Zone is treated as Level 0. If all monsters you control are in Memory Zones, your opponent can attack you directly)

 

Post a card you consider your best (center, do not spoiler):

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by Tributing 2 Rock-Type monsters. Whenever a monster battles, apply its DEF for Damage Calculation. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster with less DEF than this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. If this card destroys a monster by battle you gain Life Points equal to the Level of the destroyed monster x 300.

 

How long have you been making cards consistently (off and on does not count):

For about 2 years.

 

Why do you wish to join:

I want to improve my skills.

 

What is your General rating scale (spoiler if must):

I rate based on originality, competence in OCG, image, name, balance and general usefulness.

 

Will you be dedicated?:

Yes, but lack of comments tends to weaken my dedication.

Wowzers, I was ignored...
