Effect: This card cannot be Special Summoned. If you draw this card during your draw phase, show this card to your opponent, then shuffle it back into your deck. When this card is summoned, randomly select 1 card in your opponents hand. inflict damage to your life points equal to the numer of letters in the first word of the selected card x100. You can tribute this card to select 1 "Paradox Hero" in your Graveyard, Hand, or Main deck, and Special Summon it ignoring the summoning conditions.

I couldnt upload the picture, so i will just post the changes here and into the effect above until i am able to:

Name: Paradox Hero - Dark Lord

Def: 2300

Level: 6

The picture here seems like it's concept art, not something I particularly enjoy myself, since it's on a white or black background, which normal Yu-Gi-Oh cards typicly don't have. The monster here doesn't seem like an Elemental Hero if I have every seen one. It looks more like an action figure, not something that fits in Yu-Gi-Oh. When you say Elemental Hero, I don't think Dark Lord, but a super hero! I don't see how this guy would fit in with other EHs. The effect, well first off you can't just shuffle the card into the deck again. You got to show it to your opponent first so they don't think you shuffeled an other card into it. Second, it's pretty easy summon, here let me show you: Cards such as Damage Condenser can summon this guy easily, and if you send it to the graveyard by a card such as Foolish Burial, you can use either Call of the Haunted or The Shallow Grave to easily Special Summon it, making it pretty OP considering it's effect. Also, how hard can it be to remember to capitalize the first letter after the period? Considering how many cards start with either "The" or the name of the monster, taking off 3000 for just that seems pretty overkill. Maybe tone it down to 300-400ish and I might be okay with it. Now, having it just be able to ignore summoning conditions typicly has cost, but here nope! I suggest either make this card really card to summon, or change the effect all together. If you want to work this card into an Elemental Hero deck, I don't think having this effect would be helpful.

Well that was extensive, but honestly, the biggest problems with this card are:

1. Thats no E-Hero, mate. Maybe Evil Hero?

2. 3500 DEF. Right, yeah thats never gonna happen. (Foolish Burial, Future Fusion, etc. + Monster Reborn, Miraculous Rebirth, etc. = 3500 Defender)

Maybe give it 2500?

3. Finally, That ability is completely STUPID. Sorry, but truth be told, it's really way to OP'ed. (Tytannial = 9000 damage?) Also the second line of the ability should be changed to just the hand, graveyard or banished and even then its kind of ridiculous.(Malefic Cyber End Dragon + This Card = Cyber End Dragon AND Malefic Cyber End Dragon.)


Hope I helped :D

So basically:

Foolish Burial > CoTH/Monster Reborn > SS Anything

Also, this can cause an OTK against Bad Luck Brian by hitting something like, I don't know, Interplanetarypurplythornydragon. The only other card I know that can Summon Anything is Temple Of The Kings. And it's banned despite it being much harder to use than this. This card is certainly not realistic in any fashion, since it's OP'd, the image is poop and did I mention it's friggin' OP'd? Also, despite it being an E-Hero, it doesn't seem to actually support that Archetype. This is the worst card I've seen in quite a while, and I've seen a lot of poopy cards recently. Also, remember how the above guy said the card is "pretty" OP'd? Don't listen to him, It's not "pretty" OP'd, it's f**king OP'd. I suggest you print 50 copies of these and roll them up as toilet paper, or you change it's effect altogether. Special summon anything for free is never fair, no matter how hard it is.

0/10 Must try harder.
(Wow, it's so bad I have to give it a rating.)

[/quote]Dude, instead of crapping all over the card, maybe try to give constructive critism and say what he should do different. Instead you just say well that's s*** 0/10. I think if he worked out the overpoweredness of this card it could work right. Making it select a card at random and maybe take the word with the least letters, and having it be a lower damage number. Also maybe make restrictions as to what he can Special Summon, such as it has to be a Elemental Hero monster with that and that level ATK etc.

Except I can't make suggestions to something like this. I can't think of a way to balance this card without changing it's effect altogether. If I made it E-Hero Specific, it's still Broken. If I gave it a ridiculous summoning condition, nobody would run it. You see, balancing a broken card without getting rid of the old effect entirely is pretty hard. Also, I did tell him why it's OP'd instead of simply telling him how to fix it. Ever heard of the saying "Give a man fish and he can eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself for his entire life" Or something like that. I personally believe that telling somebody why a card is broken and giving him vague hints on how to fix it is a lot more effective instead of giving him a new effect for his card. (That's what I do for bad cards usually. But this is broken beyond return that attempting to fix it is, like I said, impossible without changing the effect entirely.)

[/quote]Well, everybody can give different opinions I guess, but just outright saying that it shouldn't even have excited is not right in my opinion. It didn't seem like you cared for it at all, on how to fix it, just that it was so bad that you were like "why even bother."

Because it is so bad that I was like "Why even bother?" I gave him a terrible score because he posted in RC, where the cards are Realistic and [b]Balanced[/b]. I guess you're right though, people have different opinions and I shouldn't bash yours the same way you shouldn't bash mine.
[/quote]Yeah, let's just stop this, it's going off-topic anyways. We can all agree that the card is terribly made, we shouldn't get out in this crap.

Thank you all for the criticism, and i kind of more or less expected it to be horribly over-powered. I'm just not sure what the current metagame is like out there so i wnted to know if it would be just overpowered or horribly overpowered. Now, I have been already thinking of ways to drastically change this. I want to make this card into a new archetype called "Paradox Hero" and instead of summoning anything, it could only summon Paradox heroes (Which will have negative conditions [b]after[/b] they are summoned, so the ignorance of summoning conditions is not that bad) from the hand deck or banished pile. i think i would like to also change the defense to 2300, making it able to be destroyed by most higher power cards, but not something like goblin elite attack force. thank you all for the criticism and i will post my updated version of this card soon:)
