The Ringmaster Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 So, this is my group of Lightcasters and Darkcasters. Both are meant to be in a deck together. Oh, and I do plan on making Synchs, the Chaoscasters, but I haven't made any yet. I'll update them when I make them. Basically, while making this series, I was thinking of adding another new aspect to the game, like the Crystal Beasts, basically. Enjoy!

The Ringmaster Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 [quote name='Elemental Dragon' timestamp='1304663146' post='5190920'] I really love the concept of these cards! If you don't mind, could I help make some of the spell, trap, synchro, fusion, ritual and exceed? Great cards mate! [/quote] Thank you very much! And I'm grateful, but I think I'd like to work on this on my own, but thank you very much for the offer. Plus, I don't plan on making Exceed monsters for this. In my humble opinion, YGO died the instant 5D's and Synchro monsters were introduced, for various reasons, and I really hate the concept for Exceed monsters. D: So, I'm keeping them out of my creations. And as for Spells and Traps, these monsters are the Spells and Traps. This deck is meant to function as a monster only deck, but still have the effects of Spell and Trap cards that are necessary for a clean sweep and win.
