Interesting. I like the fact that they go back to the deck rather than being Tributed. It reminds me of Erica's Dragonair from the gym leader set.

Ideally, you should add 'you can' to the 'evolution' effects, so that they're optional. For Dratini, 'one' should be '1', and you don't need to say Dragonair goes to your field - that's a given. You do need to say where you can get the Dragonair card from, however. It may also be better off with 1700 or so ATK.

Dragonite's ATK is really too high for a level 8, even if the attack loss effect is permanent (in which case you need to add '(permanently)' after the attack loss). Level 8's don't usually go above 3000. If you want to keep the ATK, you could make it a level 9, and perhaps make Dratini a level 3 (in which case it too should keep the ATK it has.) Also, it cannot be normal summoned but there are no restrictions on Special Summons for it. If you want people to be using Dragonair to summon it, you need to add 'This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Dragonair"' (If you don't want them using things like Monster Reborn if it was destroyed or something) or 'This card can only be Special Summoned by the effect of "Dragonair"' (if you are happy for people to revive it if they summoned it properly first).

A minor point, but Deck should be capitalised.

The pictures aren't very good. They really need some sort of background, rather than just the Pokémon on plain black.

now Time Psyduck hit everything i was gonna say... try finding action pics, they'd look alot better

[Face McShooty]

post them in your original post, they look interesting just at a quick glance tho

[Face McShooty]

all the cards you add, put them in the original post, don't post in replies and delete the ones in replies

[Time Psyduck]

Gible's not so bad, although it could really do with being a Lv4. If you're worried just add a clause that prevents it using it's effect the turn it was summoned or something.

You may want to consider making the part where Garachomp and Dragonite can't use the drop ATK if they can't attack so that only being unable to attack by their own effect stops it, otherwise cards like Threatening Roar also stop it. If you do, then Gabite would also have to lose the 'cannot use if cannot attack' clause altogether.

The real problem with this set is it's really just the first ones with 200 more ATK, 500 less DEF, and the middle form has the other effect. It really needs something else to make it stand out more.

Dragon Rush is very powerful. It's a one-sided Cold Wave with no cost or conditions. It's slightly mitigated in that it doesn't last very long, but it can stop Mirror Force/D. Prison/Book of Moon and let you attack freely and still use your own spells and traps.

[MrThatUnKewl]

I understand about Gible, but I wanted it to also have the ability to use Dragon's Family, you know? And by making him level 3 I wanted to show a clear correlation to the Dratini set.

The whole idea of the effects are based around the attacks Draco Meteor, which in this case would weaken offensive capability, and Hyper Beam/Giga Impact, which would require charging next turn. I feel like allowing these abilities to bombard might them OP'd.

Really, I have no idea how to separate the two lines any farther. I thought maybe a "Dig" like effect for Gible's line, but I wasn't sure what ability to not include. But I agree that they are to similar. That's why I didn't want to do a Salamence set.

Dragon Rush is powerful. I thought it might be OP'd so I gave it the "until the end of turn" effect. Originally I thought to give it an ATK increase too, but I figured that was too much.

[MrThatUnKewl]

Bump. An I added Rayquaza to the Set. It think it's pretty good for a God Pokemon.

[Time Psyduck]

Rayquaza seems rather situational, unless you can remove your own monsters, and unless you have a back up it could be risky to rely on, but it's effect and attack make up for it. Maybe make it a level 12 though - it's probably one of the few things that can be that high.


It should probably be 'cannot be Special Summoned except...', since it does seem to have a powerful enough effect. The third sentence is redundant - simply add from your hand after the 'only be special summoned' or cannot be special summoned except' in the previous sentence. You don't really need to say from the hand anyway - if something doesn't say where it's summoned from, it's from the hand. The fourth sentence should be 'destroy the attacking monster and end the battle phase.' As is, I think there's potential to argue the attack still goes through and you just lost. It would be 'unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards,' and you would 'negate the effects of Field Spell Cards'.

Ire of a Dragon God should probably be 200x the monster's level or something. 4000 in one go for no cost is a bit too good, and if it was used on Blue-Eyes Ultimate or Five-Headed Dragon, or something with a lot of boosts, it would do even more.

[MrThatUnKewl]

Rayquaza is meant to be situational. It should be like the "Savior" kinda card. I was actually thinking along the lines of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon there, when it didn't destroy a Meteor until the last second. Anyways, regarding it's level, I think 10 is comfortable for it. I was looking at Obelisk and Wicked Avatar when designing him and used them as a gauge for the power of the effects. I tried to mitigate him a bit, though. But thanks for the OCG fixes.
As for Ire, I agree that it was a bit OP'd. So thanks for the idea on changing it. I also gave it a cost to mitigate its damage.

good cards but you forgot the jhoto and hoen dragon


9.67/10

The only Dragon in Johto was Kingdra. I'm brainstorming a Salamence line. And the Lati twins. But I did put Dialga and Palkia up. I'm concerned that Dialga may be OP'd or Palkia may be UP'd. I'm almost definite that Giratina is OP'd.

[Time Psyduck]

Dialga may sound OP'd, but more important than the time counters is the fact that you have to wait 20 of your turns, so 40 overall, just to get it onto the field. That's twice as long as Final Countdown, and by that point you're barely going to be able to activate one of it's effects once before someone decks out - and that's if the duel lasts long enough to summon it at all. Most games will be over before then, so unless you have a deck built to stall out, summon this guy and remove 6+ counters for the OTK it's not very good - and if you have that deck, then you should be running Final Countdown instead.

Palkia is actually the more useful of the two. 10 cards is a little situational, but it will happen more than a duel lasting 40 turns. A lot more. The effect is also nice on a 4000 ATK monster, which isn't going to be easy to get over, and may frequently cause multiple monsters to come out to try and take it down. If you can protect it, that alone will fuel it's effect for you.

Giratina is massively OP'd. 20 cards in the Grave is actually pretty easy in the right deck, and the return to deck actually makes it much harder to stop. For background purposes, removing it from play, rather than returning it to the deck, would be more fitting for the effect. It also means you can have it 'return' (by saying's it's 'removed from play until [whenever you want to bring it back - I'd recommend the Standby Phase]'), and so you only have one Summoning effect (also, it means you don't draw it next turn, which isn't unlikely if half your deck's in the grave). It's still too powerful though - maybe have it be able to attack directly that turn and halve it's ATK for that battle. 2000 direct is still a very dangerous prospect, but it's not half their lifepoints in one shot. Finally, the return effect should apply to 'this monster', not "Giratina", since that allows you to use the effect of one to return a second.

All three have the 'only' wording, which allows for revival. Not that any of them (except maybe Palkia) would benefit from it, but the non-revival one probably fits better. Also, maybe have a 'you can only control 1 face up [Name]' restriction, so you can't throw out three as soon as the conditions are met.

Dang! I love your Palkia and Dialga cards! I think I'm going to have to steal their effects for my own Seriously, though, my cards suck lol I'll probably copy off of this just for those two >> I usually try not to, but really...I don't like mine...I'll think of a way to work this -nods- In either case, I didn't check anything but the Gen 4 dragons, so I don't know much about the others, but I liked the Gen 4 ones. ^^ Definitely got a good 8/10 for them ^^
