Ancient Jar

All the Jar monsters are OP or trollish, and the real Ancient Jar is the only Normal Monster of the bunch, time to fix that!

FLIP: Both players add the bottom card of their Graveyard to their Hand.

 

I believe Question is the only card that requires specific placement of a card in the graveyard, and I like the more bizarre cards like Question, so I retrained this guy. It involves getting cards, like the other Jar monsters, and the name makes sense (bottom card: ancient). Not terribly useful, but something I think they could have made back in the early days of the game.

not only Question, Arcana Force XXI - the World also require specific top of the Graveyard to activate its tail effect

 

about the card, i always like remaking concept, and this one is interesting in some situation, nice work :)

Here's the thing, in a real duel you can look through your Graveyard and move stuff around, then if you set this card and move a card you want to your hand to the bottom, that's cheating. Instead the effect could be "FLIP: Both players discard 1 card, then add 1 card from their Graveyard to their hand." That way if they have no cards in their Graveyard, they must discard a card to get one in there.

Technically, you're not supposed to move the graveyard around unless an effect targets it in the grave or it uses its own effect. But yes, cheating is a possibility.

I'd make it to where both players had to have a card in the graveyard to add it.

I like cards that can give both players a bonus, but also give hurt them more if they are unlucky.

Oh yeah, how could I forget about the premier piece of the World Lock. And thank you.

Fair enough, but like I said above part of the fun of the Jar's is how one player can get completely left out in the cold when it come time to get their gifts. Refer to the cheating part down below.

Eh, I trust the people I play with enough not to cheat. If you have to worry about cheating, that's more of a problem outside the game and the cards and more with the players, isn't it?
