Cherz Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I like the effects on both. Flash is unique, can do attak dogeing, and zone swappin. Its attack direct is nice. maybe some spell dogeing? Dark knight: I like its sneaky effect, but its a pain to get out. Its good for removal, but its not like batman to die easily. I like it though. Im so nit pickey. >.< I like this set, but maybe an easier was to summon them would be nice. I would loves to see hawk woman as a card by the way.

Cherz Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hawk Woman: Her effect is nice. basicly, it reads free beater/xyz. Its like a better CYDR imo. She is a 1900 beater that can still be nirmaled, crashed with rioh, then bounces, only to special again if they have out an xyz. Her design is goo, and you can still have a monster on the field to SS her. Gets rid of bosses due to easy XYZ's, yet its blanaced, since they have to have a bigger monster than her. She makes great top decks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Chaos Sonic Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Understandable my friend, very understandable. Wouldn't want Nightwing to get messed up in the process.

Xi-3 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 How did you get the symbols into the Description field? I understand that "Flash" is fast, but I feel his effect/attack negation should have some sort of limit, especially as he is a Level 5 monster. I usually put the limit as "once per turn" or "every turn." Maybe you could make it level- or speed-dependent (ie: lower/higher than Level 6 and slower/faster than Quick-Play). What's the rationale for having Batman be treated as a FIEND-Type? He's not an undead or demon, if I'm not mistaken. On top of the negation effect he also gets a return-to-hand effect if he's destroyed in set defence position? Seems a little overpowered to me. Hawkwoman is a WINGED-BEAST. Too bad there's no WINGED BEAST-WARRIOR Archetype, huh? I'd make one just for her. She also has the return-to-hand effect, but it's more balanced than Batman's because of the condition, and because she doesn't have any immunity and is a Level 4. Despite being, I think, stronger than a human. Nightwing is fun, since he can be summoned using monsters from your hand or Graveyard. Still looking for a downside. Xavier is a Level 10? Well, he is one of the most powerful telepaths on the planet, so okay. But doesn't that almost make the limit on his effect superfluous? You know what does? Players don't take damage at all when a battle involves him. So why do you need the negate attack effect? In the first place, I think you may have missed something in the summoning requirement: to what card or type must your opponent's cards match, or be the same? Destruction effect gives you back 2 X-Men. Overpowered? Finally, what are the characteristics of an "X-Men" monster? An excellent start, with just a little refining to do, I think. I shall also begin my requests with Spider-Man, Venom, and Green Goblin (Norman Osbourn); Iron Man, War Machine, and Mandarin; Thor, Loki, and Sif. I promise many more if you but ask.

[b]Well of course Batman isn't an undead or demon, but originally I was going to have most of the monsters count as another type but that fell through with Xavier, so I will change it.

Since it isn't complete let and all are commons I'll give it a 9-9.5. You can easily get a 10 from me after including some or changing some to holos, adding more cards, and fixing the few OCG errors.

Xi-3 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 There doesn't seem to be a difference between the blue and red versions of Nightwing, so he hasn't gotten more experienced or stronger or anything? Just a different costume? I know some other heroes who switch costumes, but it's usually accompanied by new abilities or gadgets (thinking of Iron Man's armours or Spidey's different suits, especially after he starts working at Horizon Labs). I would recommend applying the same per turn limit to Spider-Man as you did to Flash (not Thompson, naturally): even with Spider Sense, Spidey can get hit by something that's fast enough, although it does warn him of most threats, not just 'monster' attacks. I found that fun to make into a card. Nice to see a different picture used with him, although it's a little on the dark side. Speaking of which, I usually emphasize Spidey's DEF unless he's wearing the black costume, or the Anti-Sinister Six suit, since he was more aggresive while wearing either. Iceman is good, but I think you should change Cyke's type because his optic blasts are based in kinetic energy, not heat. He can even use low-power blasts to knock stuff around. Are you going to go Havoc (Scott's brother) too? What about Logan? But first I guess you'd better round off the First Class: Angel, Beast, and Jean are included.

I think it would be better if I just stick to the basics for a set the encompasses so many different cards. Perhaps if I were to make a set focused on Spider Man or Batman and sidekicks, but not with this one. I think you are getting just a bit too indepth here. Your knowledge is admirable, but I am making this set more to have fun than to worry about all the little details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xi-3 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Having fun is perfectly admirable. I am trying to help you stay true to the few Marvel characters with whom I am familiar. I especially care about accurate portrayals of Spider-Man, since he is my all-time favourite comic book hero. Of course, you get to choose which advice you follow and which you ignore. How long did you take deciding to make Loki a Spellcaster instead of a Divine-type? I went with 'Warrior' for Thor in my Avengers (Main) Set, so I think you went with the right decision.

♦~Thug-Life~♦ Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 This are absolutely the best Marvel cards ever. The effects are rather long but creative and very effective. They go along with each hero's super abilities. Love the artwork; very unique. I give it a 10/10. Excellent job man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
