.:Blu:. Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 [spoiler=Lore]Pendulum Effect: LIGHT monsters you control gain 300 ATK. Once per turn: you can excavate cards from the top of your Deck equal to the number of monsters Pendulum Summoned during your Main Phase, add 1 of them to your hand, then shuffle the rest back into your Deck. You can only control 1 face-up "Pulstar Nebulong".Monster Effect: If you would Pendulum Summon this card: Tribute 1 monster you control. When a LIGHT monster you control is targeted by a card effect: You can shuffle 1 monster you control, other than "Pulstar Nebulong", back into your Deck; negate the effect and destroy that card. You can only control 1 face-up "Pulstar Nebulong".[/spoiler]Is it too early for posting Pendulum Monsters? I'm not sure but, now that I made one, I would love to see some comments and suggestions regarding it. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dom- Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I like the idea behind the card's effects, adding as a spell then shuffling as a monster. A few questions on the general OCG: for the pendulum effect, isn't this just excavating? That would make it a lot simpler to call it that. Secondly, for the monster summoning requirement, if that's to stop it being Pendulum Summoned too quickly (again, maybe the wording would be "Tribute 1 Pendulum Summoned monster to Pendulum Summon this card" - unless you meant any tribute, which is kind of weird), its effect doesn't slow it too much as you can just Normal Summon it by tributing your Pendulum Summoned monsters that turn. Other than that, I think its good: definitely the most original Pendulum RC I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Blu:. Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 It's been quite some time since I got back into cardmaking so I definitely need to brush up on the new OCG. You're absolutely right about the excavating effect; I think you're also right about the wording of the tribute clause. My goal with the tribute clause was to make it a bit more difficult to summon since it would be way too easy to simply Pendulum Summon it. This way, at least one tribute is required and not a free summon. Thank you for the helpful OCG advice; I'll be sure to change it as soon as possible.EDIT: The card has been updated with the proper OCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I don't think you can have a monster decide to Pendulum Summon itself, you can only Pendulum Summon using the Pendulum mechanic. It's yet to be confirmed if this is going to be the case, but if you're going to be considering this realistic you should adhere to what we know. Some time in the future there may even be effects that say a Summon is treated as a Pendulum Summon, but there aren't any for now. Unless you meant that when you Pendulum Summon it you also have to tribute a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I don't think you can have a monster decide to Pendulum Summon itself, you can only Pendulum Summon using the Pendulum mechanic.

Unless you meant that when you Pendulum Summon it you also have to tribute a monster. I believe this is what was intended. In which case, I would reword it. "If you would Pendulum Summon this card: Tribute 1 monster you control" And for the monster effect, the only 1-of clause should be at the end. Other than that, pretty great for a Pendulum monster, and who knows? Might be underpowered depending on how Konami plans on moving forward with the mechanic.

.:Blu:. Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Zeppeli, I meant the latter. As in along with the Pendulum Summoning conditions, you also have to tribute a Pendulum Summoned monster. I did this because I felt the regular Pendulum Summoning conditions would get this card onto the field too easily.EDIT: Duston, that reworded clause would make it easier to understanding so I'll go with that. Also, noted about the other one as well. Thanks :]EDIT 2: Updated again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 You could always go with the text of Tyrant Dragon for a pointer for the rewording. "This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard, unless you Tribute 1 Dragon-Type monster." So it would become "This card cannot be Pendulum Summoned unless you Tribute 1 monster". That other text might work, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Blu:. Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Zeppeli, Tyrant Dragon is pretty old and I don't think Konami's bother to update it with the latest OCG so Duston's wording may be the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reprinted in 2013, so if they found the card text was not good enough they could have changed it. Also, I even said that the text might be better as it is now. Especially considering that a Pendulum Summon is treated as an inherent summon, as opposed to by an effect as would be the case with Tyrant Dragon.
