rholowie Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 [align=center]Today in History Class, we started a chapter on Arabic and Islamic Culture. Thus this set will be based upon the Arabic story of One Thousand and One Nights. This card cannot be Special Summoned. When this card is Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned successfully, you and your opponent split your Deck in half. Place the top half of your Deck to the side of the playing field. This is treated as a "Secondary Field". There can only be 1 "Secondary Field" during a duel. Both players draw 5 cards. These cards can only be played on a "Secondary Field". Cards played on the field do not effect the "Secondary Field". Cards played on the "Secondary Field" do not affect the field. During each of your turns, complete your turn once on each field. ------------------------------------------------------------------- In the story, King Shahryar marries a new wife each day and has her killed the next. However, when he marries Scheherezade, she has a plan. She entertains the king with 1001 stories of Arabic legends and folklore, thus saving her life when the king realizes he loves her. Because of this method of telling the story, there are many short stories within a larger story. Like in this card, the two fields become short stories within a larger story, the duel. [/align][align=center]Picture from photobucket.com[/align] [align=center] ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the story, Alladin finds a magical ring and magical lamp, each hosting a Djinni. The one of the lamp grants his wishes and he marries a princess, but Alladin, with the help of the lesser Djinni of the ring, must face an evil sorcerer. In my card, will you get your wish?

Parting Shot Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It is a very unique effect!! And, since it is new, there isn't really any set OCG, so I can't really mark you down or up for it (so you automatically get all of them :D). Also, the pic definitely suits the card, so that's excellent, too! All-around, very good. overall - 13.57 + 1.00 for creativity bonus = 14.57/13.69 ^_^ (only the second time I've given out more than 13.69. the other was to Dj Osiris ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Wolf Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 One Thousand and One Nights is a huka bar in columbus its a calm and relaxing, but the huka isnt that strong... i think Dj might be the only one on the forums that knows what huka is >.< anywayscreative with some nice history 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parting Shot Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 As for the second one, you don't say what happens to the other 2 cards if 1 of the ones you draw is the called one. Other than that, a very good card ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacekid Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I really like the first card, but it just seems like more work. Either way, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Supreme Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It's just Arabic Culture, has nothing to do with Islam. Good Work 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rholowie Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Actually, the story was originally Persian. However, stories from Baghdad, which was part of the Muslim Empire, were added. These stories were stories of Abbasid Caliphs. Caliphs were Muslim leaders in the Muslim Empire. So yes, it does have something to do with Islam. Thanks for the rating:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Maximus Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I love the idea, and I think the cards are great, well done. ^_^9/10=highest rating i have given today. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher8890 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 i thought i had seen a card like this before so i did some research, and found it even though it is not from this game it seems awfully familiar I submit to you Shahrazad Card Lore:Players play a MAGIC subgame, using their libraries as their decks. Each player who doesn't win the subgame loses half his or her life, rounded up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rholowie Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Based off the same story I suppose. Same effect I guess too. Oh well, maybe I'm not as original as I thought, but now Yugioh has a card like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
