My 1st Card! :D

As a vanilla connoisseur myself and somewhat of an expert myself, I have to commend you for making your first card a vanilla. I sometimes feel disappointed that most YCM members are not interested in vanillas but like it or not vanillas play a huge role in the history of the game and although they have very little tactical power, they have a strong sentimental value and have inspired much in the YGO world, how many people honestly have to admit that upon seeing the BEWD or DM you fell in love with the game. The second misconception about vanillas are that they are easy to create, this is not strictly true. Obviously it is harder to create a good effect card because more planning has to go into it but in terms of making a top vanilla card you have to make sure that not only the image name and LORE are immaculate but that they combine in a way that catches attention. So there is more that goes into vanillas than what most people believe and I believe that it is important that they are not forgotten.

***PHIEW*** now that I have got that off my chest I can comment on the card.

As I said I commend you for making this and it's a very respectful first effort. I like the name and I especially like the description, its short sweet and does the card a service. My only fault is the image, don't get me wrong it's a half decent image but it's a little bit squashed, not central enough and ill-defined, having said that, it is by no means catastrophic but it is by no means perfect either, its smack dab in the middle.

A good first effort, well done

The card is all right for a non-effect card. I'lll give it 9.5/10. It seems a bit bland though. The description is all right, that card is just missing a little something.

Also, why do people call these cards "vanilla"? Makes me think of that kind of icecream. What about "normal" cards? They fit the description perfectly.
If it was a "vanilla" card, I'd have to call the effect cards "beige", or the fusion cards "Grape". It just doesn't seem right.

Wait 30 days from now and you can change it.
You have to go to "settings" in your profile to change it. (where it says "change display name" on the left categories)

Vanillas are called vanillas that's just what they are referred to as here, it shouldn't be long before you are using it fluently.
