Witch of Broken Memories

[Enma Ai]

So, I've been working on a card that introduces a new game mechanic; Hiding the Graveyard completely, turning it upside down. Still experimenting, but tell me what you think so far?

Witch of Broken Memories
DARK
Level 4
Fairy / Effect
1600 / 300
This card can not be Special Summoned. While this card is face-up on the field neither player can look through the Graveyards, both players also turn their Graveyard upside down. Monster effects in the Graveyard can not be activated. Cards in the Graveyard can not be targeted. When this card is destroyed both players guess the bottom card of their opponents Graveyard, If they guessed correct that player Draws 1 card, if they guessed it wrong then that player discards 1 random card.

Interesting concept you have going. But would the graveyard be flipped face up when the card is destroyed, and then you have to guess, or is it the other way around? I mean, the card would specifically reflip the graveyard when it leaves the field.

[Enma Ai]

Yes, the Graveyard is flipped back into its original position,then you guess the card at the bottom of the pile.

Inb4question.

I like this card. Not only does it halt reborn, it kills LS decks. It is like having a dead JD. What would be the ruling though? No SSing JD? W/e. Her attack is meh, since she can still get run over. But do cards get milled face-up? Again rulings She is creative, and her name suits her. Overall rating-10/10 She is balanced, and she is original and unique.

Thanks! And yeah, I wasn't sure exactly how to word it properly since there isnt any card that does this. But this would be my thoughts;

- You can not summon JD since you can not confirm there are at least 4 LS in grave.
- You see cards milled, but they get placed into the graveyard face-down. Also cards sent from the field to the grave are placed face-down in the graveyard. (this makes her last effect easy to guess if you keep track of what your opponent tributes / uses / what you destroy etc.)


Thanks for liking the card I'll probably post up some more unique cards in a while.

I love the way the card works, totally unique and interesting. The art is freakin creepy, which goes well with the name, although i thought it was going to be a spellcaster. Still the effect is great since it locks up a lot of strategies that many people use, and its balanced by its stats, very nice job

[Enma Ai]

I figured if it was a spellcaster it would have way too much protection with a lot of the new prophecy and spellbook cards. Also cards like gagaga shield would make it hard to take down.

First of all, I think there is at least one problem with the wording of the card, but I'll leave that alone since the effect is something rather new.

Secondly, I love the originality of the card. Frankly, I don't often see many interestingly original cards, but this is one of those that leaves a good impression, and for that, kudos. Reminds me a lot of a Spell Card in the TCG though, one that has the effect that says to flip the Decks over and continue the game drawing from face up, flipped decks. It's a continuous Spell, but for the life of me I can't remember the name.

Thirdly, the effect is rather balanced, so there's no need for me ruining it with silly ideas. Though, I would suggest a bit of a change in the name. The picture does go with the name, but you might want to alter a word or two, my idea was something like "Witch of Shattered Dreams" or something similar to that, just sounds more interesting to me in that manner.

Overall, the card is good. I'm kind of a sucker for original and unique effects, so you had me immediately hooked with a new concept. 10/10.

I enjoy this card quite a bit due to the fact that it's something similar that I've worked into my own[url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/293589-first-burn-then-heal-then-bounce-then-senddestroy-then-dark-control-and-finally-light-control-now-for-their-support-30/"] archtype[/url]. I also had the same ruling on "cards face-down in the Graveyard/Banished Zone" vs. Monster Reborn, Pot of Avarice, etc since those face-down cards "cannot be confirmed while face-down as monsters and therefore not viable targets", and same thing with JD and Lightsworns and/or Necro Gardna and other cards that move or activate in the Graveyard (unless they are able to chain to the effect trying to turn them face-down). What I'd be interested to figure out is the ruling for this vs. Effect Monster negation (Veiler, Breakthrough Skill, Fiendish Chain, etc). Would the graveyard revert to it's original state and then stay in that state even if this card is face-up? Much like how Naturia Bamboo Shoot looses it's Spell/Trap lock when veilered?

So your card is [b][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_End_of_Anubis"]The End of Anubis[/url][/b] with [b][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Convulsion_of_Nature"]Convulsion of Nature[/url][/b] on the Graveyard and [b][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Question"]Question[/url][/b]. You're better off just copy-pasting (with alterations) the text from The End of Anubis, since it's the same thing but the text is shorter.

Also, you really should be adding that cards that GO to the Graveyard are turned face-down, because the game's mechanics itself would still demand that cards going to the Graveyard are sent face-up otherwise. Thus you would have a bunch of cards face-down underneath a bunch more cards that are face-up. Even if that's not quite the case, it's [u]still[/u] reminder text to avoid any disputes of how your card is supposed to work and that is worth every penny of typing it out.


Here's my version:

[i]"Cannot be Special Summoned. While this card is face-up on the field, both of the following effects are active: * All effects of Spell, Trap, and Monster Cards that target a card(s) in the Graveyard or that activate in the Graveyard are negated. * Both Graveyards are upside-down and cards sent to the Graveyard are sent face-down, also, neither player can check or confirm cards in a Graveyard. When this card is destroyed: Both players guess the bottom card of their opponent's Graveyard; The player who guesses correctly will draw 1 card, the player who does not will discard 1 random card."[/i]
