An Idea that needs improvement I think


FTW (For The Wynn)

Recommended Posts

Well, here's a new card. I like this idea, I think it is playable right now but we shall see.

[spoiler='Original'][img]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1019/264408t.jpg[/img]

You do not have to pay Life Points to activate a card effect. Each time you activate a card effect that requires you to pay Life Points, place 1 Tariff Counter on this card. When this card is destroyed, inflict damage to your Life Points equal to the number of Tariff Counters on this card x 800.

Problems I have at the moment:
1. It might be OP'd
2. Lame name is lame
3. I might make it Continuous Spell instead for speed/playability since I see a lot of Royal Decree
4. OCG I think is off some, but I'm rusty lately.[/spoiler]

You do not have to pay Life Points to activate a card effect. Each time you activate a card effect that requires you to pay Life Points, place 1 Tariff Counter on this card for every 500 Life Points that you would have paid. This effect can only be used once per turn per card. When this card is removed from the field, take damage equal to the number of Tariff Counters on this card x 500.


Still worried about OCG...other than that though I'm happy with it.[/spoiler]

Good card, makes cards like Gale Dogra, Ultimate Offering, Toll etc a lot more dangerous/annoying.

Speaking of Gale Dogra, that has 3000 LP cost, yet you can reduce this to just 800 with this. Maybe it would be fairer if you kept at a running total of the costs you should have paid, and then when the cards destroyed take damage equal to x1.5 or x2 that number. Like accumulating interest, the longer you delay payment, the more you have to pay in the end.

Pic fits well, dunno what to suggest for name. Think Decree should stay in some capacity. Maybe a Spell would be better to.

i have one question... why are you taking damage? i thought you meant that you deal damage to you opponet equal to 500x the counters.. whats the point of hurting yourself?

never mind i understand now... i like it alot more that i understand!

It's to keep it balanced. Let's say I played [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Cyber-Stein"]Cyber-Stein[/url] and activated his effect. Usually I would lose 5000 LP, but with my card on the field I wouldn't lose any. Instead it would all be transferred into this card. However, when this card is destroyed, the damage returns to you. If you accumulated a lot of Counters, you'll probably lose. However, this card allows you to play effects like Cyber-Stein even when you don't have enough LP. Solemns just got better.

While typing this, I now realize that this should be Once per turn per card. Otherwise Cyber-Stein and Demise would have a field day.

Archfiends love this. And I wouldn't say it's OP'd, cause it's not something everyone would have in their Deck. Ex: almost everyone uses Solemn, but not all decks have room for a card like this. A Deck could easily be built around this.

Idk I explained that well, but it's a good card.

It's good. Like Smesh said, it protects you from the effects of Solemns and such high cost cards, as well as helping things such as Cyber-Stein, like you said although Demise would still deal damage anyway. It's good in theory, just not very splashable. It has got its uses, but it's not particularly staple-worthy - at least not to the same extent as Solemn Judgment/Warning etc.

It gets a good rate from me anyway. 8/10

Also reminds me of this:

Name:....... I think ive seen it somewhere before but i cant remember where Q_Q Anyway sounds like a real cards name so 8.5/10
Pic: I like it :P 8/10
OCG:Looks fine.....
Effect: Well the effect is good but yeah, the updated one is better, its balanced and seems more realistic
Balance: Good on the updated one
The little Extras: No editon :o How could you! Q_Q [size="1"]Jk[/size]
Overall: [size="4"][color="#0000FF"]B+[/color][/size] A great card, nothing i can think of to improve it really...... The only reason its only a B+ is because i dont feel right giving a single magic card the same grade as a whole set of cards, yah know?
Anyway great job~
