Virus Alert--Malicious Software Set!


Stan Alda

Recommended Posts

This set was made for deck milling/draw manipulation. The main damaging force is a series of Spell cards based on computer malware and viruses. However, the main Spell Cards can only be used if "Zombie Sever Farm" is on your side of the field. ZSF, I might add, has 0 ATK, 1400 DEF, and no protective effects.

Alternatively, "Infected Thumb Drive" is a "Blast Sphere" variant that can only use the non-Continuous "Malicious Software" spells. Less choices, more nastiness--i AM ERROR. PLOKTA, CUZ PEBKAC. Hacked by China!

If your opponent's monster attacks this face-down Defense Position card, this card becomes an Equip Card equipped to the attacking monster, before damage calculation. During your next Main Phase, offer this card as a Tribute to draw one "Malicious Software" card except "Malicious Software: Time Bomb Virus" or "Malicious Software: Web Crawler" from your deck and activate it.

Many thanks to Max Darkness for help on the Fork Bomb OCG.

Added a new card: "Denial of Service Attack". It's by far the simplest card in this set, but DoS attacks are pretty brute-force anyway. I also changed "Zombie Server Farm" to accommodate that card.

Incidentally, now that I have 6 malware types (with more coming) should I just give them a name, like the Lightsworns or Elemental Heroes?

Yeah you should, but I suggest instead of using Zombie Server Farm to use them all, try using different cards to convey different ways of getting a computor virus. just saying

I'll give the set a collective name, although I'll need to think about the different means of transmission. I intended this to be a fairly simple set, at least in terms of monsters. I might make another enabling card or two, but that''s about it. Thanks for the advice, though.

Argh! I can't think of a name for the set. "Malware Time Bomb Virus" sounds redundant, and "Malicious ____" could easily get confused with another card. "Malicious Malware" just takes up too much space. Can anyone help?

Made a new transmission card: "Infected Thumb Drive". It's basically Blast Sphere, except it activates one Malware (Malware being the working title for the cards) except the two continuous spells. Have a gander!

The Trojan Horse (spell which lets you add Malware cards)

uh Hacker (monster that adds cards to hand)

I can't think of many off my head, and I wish I could get more people to comment on my internet based cards, oh well

No, I mean for the existing cards, so I don't need to list them individually on ZSF. Anyone else got any ideas?

Another weapon added to your YGO Malware arsenal: Spyware! Note that the blank in its name stands for an undecided set name to streamline the monsters' effects. Anyway, give it a look.

This is a really great set so far. It seems that the "Backdoor Trojan Client" has the "Zombie Server Farm" Image, though, so you might want to change that... Oh, and I'm confused as to what Web Crawler Bot's ability is. It says, "On every 3rd turn after the activation of this card, draw one card from the top of your opponent's Deck." Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but does that mean [b]you[/b] draw and obtain your opponent's card? Also, I think "Malware" pretty much says it all.

Thanks for your input. I'll fix the Trojan client pic. I'll also fix the Web Crawler Bot.

I've finally decided on "Malicious" for the collective name. Malware is a noun, while malicious is an adjective; it's less grammatically awkward.

And, with those changes, the set will be finished! I'll send it to Finished Sets under Realistic cards.

Funny story: as I'm writing this, I'm watching a Futurama episode about a Twitter-activated computer virus. Interesting coincidence, huh?

Lol, very coincidental. It's been a while since I've last seen Futurama.
