Demonbane775 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Advice/critique is appreciated. Sadly, the card art is not mine. it belongs to this dude... (http://dlamb-art.blogspot.com/2007/09/cyber-samurai.html) If I could draw this awesome... Anyhoo. Created as an experiment by a Japanese cybernetics corporation in an effort to create an effective bodyguard for highranking corporate and government officials, the Cyber Samurai is a combination of the best in biotic and cybernetic technology rolled into one package. This masterpiece of technology is capable of deflecting bullets with it's blade and can move faster than the human eye can track. It can also drain the energy of other electronic devices, overcharging itself to unleash a blast of devastaing electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0SS Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think sacrifice has been illegal for a while now. As for the effect, it is entirely unreadable. I'm sure there is a rule stating that you must post the lore of your card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazubat Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 what is this effect even? The OCG make my eyes bleed, have you even read any card in the last past 2-3 years? Anyway, it's not that good, if you want to Tribute stuff for damage, Catapult is better as it's only 1 Tribute, and Mother Grizzly can get it out. This is a 2 Tribute Summon, and no easy way to Summon it, burn Decks can't use this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a monster I'm working on right now that would make this a more effective card to use when the two are used in combination, just have to finish the art. (I wanted to do my own art for that particular card) It would effectivally make it a single tribute summon. Better? I'm sure there is a rule stating that you must post the lore of your card. Missed it. Added lore. (Facedesk) (Muffled) Why is everything so complicated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0SS Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry if I was a little harsh. Tribute is correct, but the other part is not. Fix: You can Tribute 1 Machine-type monster; inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the Tributed monster's ATK. As Zazu said, other cards do it better. Try something more interesting, perhaps?

Resident Fascist Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Congratulations. You just successfully created another degenerate OTK engine. Well freaking done. The point is this card is abyssmal design. Dark Strike Fighter was banned within 6 months for a reason, and this card is pretty much the same, except it does full damage instead of damage by level in exchange for not being a Synchro. However, it doesn't have a summoning condition. One easy way to get this would be Foolish and COTH in the Battle Phase, tribute off all my Machines in MP2 to burn for massive damage, probably game. This is basicially the last thing YGO needs right now. Even if this was to do half damage, you're basicially dealing with something similar to DSF. Which is rightfully forever banned. I don't agree with such card design. However, at this rate, you can't really balance something like this, as nerfing it would make it terrible, and not doing anything results in this broken mess.

I'll pretend not to be offended by that. So. Do you suggest going for a different effect entirely? My friend asked for a samurai card, the effect was all my thing. If you have any ideas for a different, fitting effect, throw them out there! Sorry if I was a little harsh. Tribute is correct, but the other part is not.

My friend asked for a samurai card, the effect was all my thing. If you have any ideas for a different, fitting effect, throw them out there! Something like Infernity Doom Dragon would be pretty neat. Maybe destroy another Machine-Type to destroy another 1 card on the field once per turn, akin to Scrap Dragon. This + Machina Fortress is a degenerative OTK, yes, I would say change the effect. 2800 + 2800 + 2500 + 2500 = 10600, and that's with just this and an easily summonable boss.

What about increasing the attack/defense of the card for one Battle Phase with the tribute? It's not a hugely original idea, but Raigeki break pretty much does that exact thing you mentioned and is a hell of a lot easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a hugely original idea, but Raigeki break pretty much does that exact thing you mentioned and is a hell of a lot easier to use. Scrap Dragon is 200x better than Raigeki Break. As for the effect, I apologize for my lack of PSCT, but this is what I'd do. "Once per turn, you can tribute 1 Machine-Type Monster and target 1 card on the field; Destroy that target, and if that card was a Monster you controlled, this card gains ATK equal to half that Monster's ATK, until the end phase." It seems pretty unique and allows you to launch Gadgets at cards, and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with the effect you suggested. any other advised revisions before I print this off and give it to my friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, probably not. You may want to fix the PSCT because I'm sure I have it wrong. Also ignore that comment about board prescence, I'm not sure how I said that.

Demonbane775 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Still not sure as to what you meant by "Launch Gadgets at cards"... Am I an idiot, or is this something relatively new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judαs Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 He's referring to the gadgets, they're a groupof 3 cards, you can look them up on wikia. Also, please post the updated version in the first post. As for the latest version, it's balanced and everything now but it's still lacklustre and probably won't see much play if it were released. Also ocg: it would make more sense to word the first part as a cost, which it is: Tribute 1 monster TO ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judαs Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Actually never mind that, I didn't notice the added destruction effect. It makes more sense to play it now, but it's still a very casual card and scrap dragon even being a synchro does this job better, because no one tribute summons monsters now unless they're like LaDD or monarchs or something, it's very slow right now.

There's another monster card I'm making that you would use in combination with this to make it only a single tribute summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
