My first card, a dark god

I don't think there is enough "No" in the world for this. Firstly, basing an attack gain effect like that for cards in the hand doesn't work. Can't work, because you can't arbitrarily reveal your hands to prove the calculation. Secondly, you don't need two sentences for the field and graveyard. Thirdly, the last effect, besides being WAY off the OCG, is just ridiculous and unnecessary. NOBODY, and I do mean NOBODY, uses Creator Of Light.

You forgot to mention about Creator Of Light being an instant-win effect, which makes this card even more useless.

[/quote]I forgot about that actually. And don't get me wrong, I'm all for creativity and finding new ways to use effects...but they at least need to be plausible.

Maybe if it was just "The Creator", but then again...still useless anyway since nobody uses it

OT: The card is weak (even for a divine beast) and its effect is pretty underwhelming . Then again, I'm just restating the same thing the above posts say.

Off Topic: isn't that an image an MTG monster? (Pretty sure it is :))

[left][i]This card gains 500 ATK and DEF for each DARK Monster on the field, or in either players hand or Graveyard. You can tribute this card to destroy 1 "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty."[/i][/left]
Yeah, full name of the card. Looked it up on the Wiki. Now, the second effect is totally impractical simply due to the fact, already stated multiple times, that The Creator of Light's instant win effect applies as soon as it's Summoned. Perhaps use this instead?
[i]As long as this card is face-up on the field, "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty" can not be Summoned.[/i]
Even then, it's totally impractical as there are several cards that do the same thing, and have broader applications. The entire Vanity series, small as it is, blocks all Special Summoning. Archlord Kristya, I believe, also blocks all Special Summoning.
Now, the ATK gain. Don't see that doing much. Even if you're playing an all DARK Deck, which with this effect, you would be, unless your opponent is doing the same, which is unlikely (Or, I don't know anymore. With the prevalence of Black Wings and Inzektors...) it won't be very powerful. Even if you use this is an Inzektor Deck against Blackwings, I don't see the ATK exceeding 3000 points. Pretty weak for a Divine-Beast.

2 issues I see right away:

1) Creater God of Light uses an instant win condition. The second you summon it, the Duel ends. That means there is no time to activate the effect of the card you created.

2) This card is too difficult to bring out, seeing as it is so useless. I believe a 12 Star monster is 3 Tributes. (Maybe 2. 3 might only be if a card specifies it needed 3 tributes.)

The Effect could be changed where the card is a counter and reverses the effects of Creator God of Light to let you win.

That doesn't make this card any less useless. Creator of Light Horakhty is almost impossible to Summon. I've brought it out once against a REALLY BAD stall deck. It took prolly... twenty turns, no biggie.

You cannot reverse a win condition. I made a card a little bit back that lets you play 2000 to play it. (continuous trap.) It basically says that when your opponent would win the duel using an instant win condition, you win instead. The thing here is that it doesn't negate or counter the win, but rather just changes the target of the win, which is why it would work.

Ok *deep breath*

Normal monsters cannot have effects, effect monsters cannot have any kind of description. The entire effect needs rewording.

Divine-Beasts have their own seperate DIVINE attribute. It cannot be DARK. Also, if it's Divine-Beast, it should have a line at the start of it's effect saying "Requires 3 Tributes to Normal Summon (cannot be Normal Set)." All Divine-Beasts require 3 tributes to be summoned.

Another small but relatively unimportant detail is that the serial code just under the pic is incorrect. The first part of the serial code is 4 letters that symbolize the name of the pack it is found in. The second part is where and in what order the card was made. So it would be more like "SMHS-EN666" *SMHS stands for Smoke Meth, Hail Satan :P*

If the effect says "This card gains ATK and DEF......" then it's ATK and DEF should be 0, not ?. If you want to keep it as a ?, then change the effect so it says "This card's ATK and DEF are equal to......."

As for the effects themselves:

1) ATK gaining effect: At the very most, it can have 7000 ATK, and that's only if both you and your opponent have full hands of DARK attribute monsters. It is also "DARK Attribute", spelled exactly like that, including capital letters, not "dark type". You and your opponent would have to show each other your hands just to determine his ATK and DEF, and there's currently no specific mechanic for that situation.

2) Extra ATK gaining effect: The extra sentence makes this card broken beyond belief. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but giving it an extra 500 ATK and DEF for EVERY MONSTER in the Graveyard means this thing's ATK will skyrocket very quickly. The only balance to this is that he's completely susceptible to card effects.

3) Effect for stopping Horakhty: Worded like this, it doesn't work. Your opponent still wins. It's genuinely impossible for this effect to ever be used. Horakhty states that it's summon cannot be negated either. So the only way to stop it from being summoned is to specifically say 'While this card remains face-up on the field, "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty" cannot be Summoned.'


tl;dr - Pretty much everything you could have gotten wrong in some way, you got wrong. Take the card down. Try again.
