Engetsu Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Here's a card that I recently used in a 1 on 1 contest. I think it's balanced, but then again, I'm most likely wrong. Constructive criticism would be most appreciated. Comment|Rate|Rep|Hate|Whatever Image Credit=Jazin Kay [b]EDIT [/b]-Removed draw effect to make this card slightly more balanced (even though this card now feels bland to me).

Мερhilεs Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 [color="#800080"][b][center]*thumbs up* I'm assuming by discard, it means from your hand. I think it's reasonably balanced, and personally I would also change the Draw 2 cards to Draw 1 card. [/center][/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engetsu Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Yes you're correct (about the discard thing). And I will most likely change it from 2 to 1, but I'm gonna wait for more comments/opinions on it before I do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Smeagle Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I think this is a great card and the picture fits flawlessly. That smug look that says "You're SO locked down next turn" is exactly what you'd expect from a Skillless Village deck, and he also looks like he'd be perfectly willing to off his buddy to draw two cards. 9.3/10.

jack781217 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 The second effect is just so convenient that I kind of don't like it, but nonetheless the card is great. I would agree about changing it to drawing 1 card only. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engetsu Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Alright. I'll change the draw from 2 to 1 then, and see how that works out. Anyways thanks for commenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect is pretty powerful but at the same time your getting rid of a fairly strong monster The little Extras: Hey, For once everything is there! YOUR GRADE IS!!!! [size="4"][color="#00FF00"]A[/color][/size] (Congrats your the first person to get an A, Which means a rep for you) Its a great card, not too complex but not boring.

Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 If Secret Village wasn't getting Blizzard Princess, this'd be fine. As it is it's horribly OP support for a Deck that doesn't need it. Booo. 4/10 OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is it's horribly OP support for a Deck that doesn't need it. Booo. 4/10 OP [/quote] I just looked up Blizzard Princess. I don't see why it's such a big deal, other than providing a 2800 ATK lolbeatstick with a 1 turn Spell/Trap lockdown for your opponent. Not really threatening imo considering how much faster the other Decks are. But since I don't completely understand the Meta, what would you suggest? For changes in the card's effect? Or is this card that "bad" that it can't possibly be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 It's a massive threat for a -1 that is often mitigated by the Spys/ Apppretice targets you'll be running. Remove the "I get a free Smashing Ground/ a Pot of Greed" effect and it'll be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engetsu Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 That just reduces it to a mere Deck/Graveyard Searcher then :/ What about this then? If "Secret Village of the Spellcasters" is face-up on the field, you can destroy 1 [b]monster [/b]on the field. If a Spellcaster-Type monster [b]you control[/b] was destroyed by this effect, draw 1 card.[i] [/i] I could also get rid of the Graveyard search if that helps.

Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Smashing Ground's sort of ok, I'm just not a fan of the draw thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engetsu Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I see, and as for the draw effect, you would have to destroy 1 of your own Spellcaster monsters to activate it (most of the time) but I changed it so that you would have to destroy your own Spellcaster monster to draw a card. It's a pretty fair trade imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 tbh, that just makes that effect unplayable. Going -2 to draw 1 isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engetsu Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 So I guess I should change it back to 2 cards, or just get rid of the draw effect altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Getting rid of the draw thing would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttercup Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can't put too many good effects on a card that already has a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
