Question about +1 cards


Recommended Posts

Apologises for any terrible game terminology in advance.

Hey guys

As you may/may not know I'm fanfic writing, and I'm looking for your suggestions on cards that give a player drawing power that is an overall +1 on hand/field.

Cards such as Pot of Avarice and Card of Sacrifice. It doesn't matter how situational or un-meta, this is for a fanfic after all.

Thanks in advance for any help. Regards

Matt

There is a question thread where all questions regarding the TCG and OCG should go.

Oops, my bad. Sorry.

So..... its a fanfic that [i]actually[/i] uses non-made-up cards?
[/quote]

Correct, there are some anime only cards, but they all exist in some form or another.

This is a better spot since no one ever looks in the Help Section.

Precious Cards from Beyond
Good Goblin Housekeeping
Accumulated Fortune
Crystal Seer
[/quote]

Accumulated will be hard to pull, but the other three are decent suggestions.

[quote name='Ghostmyth' timestamp='1300634271' post='5085057']
I was going to say Tongue Twister, but he's a +0. Still, he lets you draw 2 cards so...yeah

Anyways, there's Chaos Greed and Reckless Greed.
[/quote]

Chaos Greed is good if I used the right deck, Reckless Greed is probably what I'll have to use in the duel I'm writing now.

Thanks guys keep em coming.

That's pretty much certain to get used.

Make that a real card please Konami.

Ty.

Oops, missed Expels suggestion. Thanks, that is a good one too.

Just to give you a quick note: you always need to be careful about how broken a card "looks". Both Aurora Draw and Akashic Record will never be printed, but Aurora Draw "looks" more broken because there's no downside to it - even though Akashic Record is probably the better card. Keep that in mind.

Command Silencer, Floral Shield, and Defense Draw are all good fanfic cards, even though they're technically +0s. Revenge Return, too. Blasting Vein lets you draw 2, though it's also technically a +0.

You do raise a very good point on using very broken anime only cards.

I've tried to keep the use of anime cards to these two situations:
- Needs must
- Deck theme

The keeping in deck theme when using a card even I find quite broken will become apparent in Chapter 21 of my fanfic (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Ice_Age_Panic)

Now your suggestions:
Command Silencer - Useful, can't see why it has been made a spell and not a trap (shrugs).
Floral Shield - Preferable to the above, would be good if I use a deck running that theme at some point.
Defence Draw - I've used this for three different duelists already, hence my questions.
Revenge Return - I like that a lot.
Blasting Vein - Usefulness obviously destroys on the card you're destroying (Yusei would like this with Limiter Overload, for example)

Thank you for suggestions.

Pot of greed obv

Erm, yeah, you're correct but... you are aware of this thing called the banned list, right? (I know, says me who has already used two cards from the banned list in my fanfic, but that was just for the iconic status of said cards.)

Kinda glad this card is banned actually, solely for the purpose of it being unable to use it as an easy get out in every single deck (GX I'm looking at you) and having to look for different alternatives (see the above comments on Defence Draw).

At the time, Spells were usually cards that helped you and Traps generally hurt your opponent (notice in Season 1, Negate Attack is a Spell). In terms of usage in decks, it's thematically more "generic" than Floral Shield.

Gah, I can't believe I forgot! Take Over 5 is absolutely epic!

Ah I see. I remember 'Eye of Truth' was a Spell too.

Take Over 5 - Can't say I liked that one. Although handy in a Lightsworn deck when close to decking out.

HEY GUISE WANT A +2 INSTEAD

Beginning of the End.

About to be used in Wednesdays chapter release.

[quote name='PikaPerson01' timestamp='1300664260' post='5086325']
Accumulated Fortune
Ancient Leaf
Chaos Greed
Cup of Ace (it's a fanfic. He gets 3x Heads in a row. > >)
Hope for an Escape
[/quote]

Accumulated Fortune - Obviously possible. Kind of anti-climactic end to a chain of traps though ain't it? Could work.
Ancient Leaf - Duels starting at 4000 LP makes this tough, unless changed to 5000.
Chaos Greed - Mentioned, a staple in the right deck.
Cup of Ace - Lol, 'heart of the cards' equals protagonist luck
Hope for Escape - Doable, but same as Ancient Leaf really, would need to give someone a hell of a head start LP-wise.

[quote name='Darkplant' timestamp='1300666474' post='5086401']
Oh, and I forgot - having your opponent use Chainsaw Insect, or having your main character use Appropriate against an opponent's Upstart.
[/quote]

Used this trick with Damage Polarizer and Soul of Fire, have got Chainsaw Insect stored ready in someones deck.

[quote name='~ Epic Hero - Saber ~' timestamp='1300666694' post='5086413']
Dark Bribe (from the enemy's side) is an option I use a bit.

[s]Morphing Jar ololol[/s]
[/quote]

Good suggestion.

Well since I'm using GX rules (face up defence summoning) I can't use Morphing Jar... or can I... :o

There are tons of broken manga/anime cards. If you're using a ban list, you might as well stay away from them. Because realistically, a lot of them are worse than Pot of Greed, like the above (which is technically a +4 since your monster would have been destroyed anyways, and losing ATK might not take a card anyways).

Otherwise, Card of Demise, Spellbook in the Pot (or whatever it was), and that one Elemental Hero draw card.

What I was saying is you're not sacrificing anything but the card itself to use it. Your monster is going to be destroyed one way or another, even if you don't activate that card. And plus, your opponent would have to be activating an effect to destroy it anyways, since timing dictates this can't be used during the Damage Step.

Either way, it doesn't matter. Cards are cards.
