My second set .....opinions ?

[Aix]

I assume you haven't played meta game Yugioh or played Yugioh online (on Dueling Network) because compared to the cards that come out nowadays, [b]these cards are ridiculously weak. [/b]They also lack what makes playing Yugioh interesting at the moment, besides cool cards, is the synergy among cards in a set/archetype and the ability to use strategy and pull off amazing combos. Most sets of cards nowadays have a central theme or special ability that is shared with almost all members of a group, examples include the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Infernity"]Infernity[/url] archetype (who's powerful abilities can only activate when your hand is empty), the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsworn"]Lightsworn[/url] archetype (who aren't just strong and good beatsticks, but also send cards directly from your Deck to the Graveyard at each End Phase. And when you have 4 or more Lightsworns with different names in your Graveyard, you can instantly special summon Judgment Dragon from your hand who has the ability to destroy all other cards on the field at the cost of 1000 Life Points) and the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Madolche"]Madolche[/url] archetype (who all share the ability of being returned to the Deck when destroyed. However, the power of this Deck comes from Madolche Chateau, which allows you to return Madolches to the hand instead of being returned to the Deck allowing for an almost inexhaustible hand advantage and indestructible cards).

[b]At any rate, I will examine each card you made individually.[/b]
[b]Crimson Gemini:[/b] 300 damage, maximum 500 damage, is definitely not worth losing a card in your hand for.
[b]Crimson Imp:[/b] 1000 ATK is really weak for a monster who will be in Attack Position most of the time, it'll get destroyed almost immediately. The ability to attack directly is restrained by the fact that any damage it does is reduced to 500. It's useless. It also wouldn't work to remove the restriction as no card that can attack directly has a high attack, the highest attack for a monster with the ability to attack directly is 600 (there are 2 such monsters). I would suggest that you make it somehow be able to summon bigger stronger monsters as the general idea is that an imp is a small devil and is either going to grow into a devil or is a devil's minion and expendable.
[b]Crimson Gardna:[/b] It doesn't work very well, because he has to be face-up Defense Position for his effect to matter, and when you Normal Summon, you can only Normal Summon in face-up Attack Position or Set in face-down Defense Position. 500 Life Points is also barely anything.
[b]Crimson Ogre:[/b] For a monster that is supposed to be a beatstick, it is really weak, at 1700 ATK. 300 damage is also barely anything and not only that. It is restricted by the fact that this effect only applies when the Ogre destroys a Defense Position monster.
[b]Crimson Giant: [/b]It's ATK points is okay for a beatstick like that, but the chances of him surviving until the next turn are relatively low. 500 damage is also barely anything.
[b]Crimson Swordstalker: [/b]Not only is it weak for a Level 6 (average ATK for a Level 6 is 2400), but its burn effect isn't good. It is inferior to the already existing card [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Thestalos_the_Firestorm_Monarch"]"Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch"[/url] who not only does burn, but also makes your opponent lose hand advantage (which is very important in today's game).
[b]Crimson Lord Draco: [/b]For a boss monster, his ATK and DEF are really low. His effect is also really weak, especially as it activates during your Standby Phase. The chances of you having so many Crimson monsters on the field is pretty low due to the fact that the Crimson archetype has no swarming ability and the monsters are really weak, too weak to survive for long.

[b]Other Suggestions: [/b]The Crimson cards should have some sort of swarming ability and their burn has to be stronger. Also, they need some sort of thing that makes them work together. Maybe, like the [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Blackwing"]Blackwing[/url] and [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Legendary_Six_Samurai"]Legendary Six Samurai[/url] archetypes do, have something like "If you control a face-up "Crimson" monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand". Perhaps, you also want to try playing Yugioh online, so you can see what's going on right now. Here's a link to [url="http://www.duelingnetwork.com"]Dueling Network[/url], where you can use whatever cards you want to make a Deck and play for free.

[b]Overall rating:[/b] 3/10 (i gave you a 3 cuz the pics r cool)

[b]Note: I hope you realize that the game is played with 8000 Life Points, not 4000 like the anime, so most of the burn you did was ineffective. Also, the archetype names I mentioned have links to the wiki which describes each archetype.[/b]

Thank you for your criticism ,ill definitely take on board what you have said and work to improve them when i have the available time , can i count on criticism when i do as it was a lot more than i was expecting and frankly very helpful ? as for the 8000 not 4000 life points i am well aware of that but this is a set i planned on using in my fanfiction i'm working on , i did put a hint to this were the card creator should be , but in future i will endeavour to state so on top of the post.

i had this card ready , but as for the fact of not having a suitable picture i did not feel it was part of the set ,more of a card to boost the deck if you will , i no it isn't the solution the faults with this set but hopefully for the time being it can be considered as a bandaid.
