Darj Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 This thread is for showing off the best, balanced and well designed card you have ever made. Even if you no longer make cards, you are welcome to post the best card you have made during your stay in YCM. Some rules to keep things in order: 1. The card should have been reviewed by the community or approved by a member of the Tutoring Project. This is to ensure that only cards with good quality are being submitted. Only post cards that were previously posted on RC and either got good reviews or you fixed it accordingly after suggestions were offered, or cards you made with the assistance or approval of a member of the Tutoring Project. If your card is brand-new and you think is it the best card you have made, post it on RC or, if it is still a thing, approach a member of the Tutoring Project and ask for his/her approval or help first. 2. Provide links to the thread(s) of the card your are posting to verify that they were reviewed by the community. Include the link in the post with your card. Threads from RC and Card Contests (including 1v1) are allowed. This doesn't apply if you made the card with the assistance of a member from the Tutoring Project through PM. 3. You can only post 1 card. Choose wisely. If you make a better card in the future, update your post with that new card. 4. Don't review, rate or comment on other cards posted in this thread. This is not a "Rate my card" thread. If you have anything to say to a card creator after looking at his/her card, send him/her a PM or write on his/her status, make another thread, etc.; in short, discuss about it somewhere else. 5. No negative comments. This should be implied on the rule above, but I want to make a separate rule for more emphasis. We cannot control the users who ignore the rules and/or post cards they think are balanced, well designed or the best card of all YCM when they actually aren't; so when you see a card like that, refrain from posting negative or sarcastic comments. This is for preventing disputes and risk the thread into becoming a flame war. Comments like "your card is horrible/awful" or worse are not allowed. Again, if you really need everyone to know how bad that card is, make a thread or a status about it, take it anywhere but here. 6. You can comment on your own card. While you cannot comment on other cards, you are free to comment on your own. This is to allow users to include special rulings regarding their cards, mention bits of trivia or references that add flavor to the card, breakdown the effects and/or purposes of the card, etc. 7. Type the card text under the card image. So it will be easier to read. 8. Cards with outdated OCG are allowed. If you made a card years ago and you haven't edited but think it is your best, you can post it without bothering with updating it with new OCG, as long as it is understandable. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions regarding this thread, please let me know through a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 This sounds like a good way to promote better cardmaking in this section. Stickied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Personally quite proud of this card. [spoiler Card Text]Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. When this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; that target cannot attack, activate its effect(s), or be used as Material for a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon.[/spoiler] RC Singles Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerus Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think this is the best card I've ever made. Discard 1 card to target 2 face-up monsters; both targets cannot be used as Material for Xyz, Synchro or Fusion Summon. When both targets leave the field, destroy this card. You can only control 1 face-up "Demon's Lock". While this card is in your Graveyard, during either player Main Phase: You can banish this card and pay 500 Life points to target 1 face-up monster; that target's Level/Rank becomes 1.

Oriannis Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Here is my best based on reviews and comments, I was very pleased with how this went down. When an opponents card effect activates that would target any monster(s) you control, negate the activation and draw one card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrality Man Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 EDIT: Added in thread link Based on the one review I received for it, and the 16 total I've ever gotten. Excluding cards that require a whole set to function to 100%, that'd be this one. http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/321634-i-got-bored-have-a-random-spellcaster-illicit-illusionist-with-ill-intent/ If this card is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect: You can target 1 Extra Deck monster (Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz) in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions (this is treated as a Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Summon), and if you do, apply one of the following effects, based on the card type of the monster: • Fusion: Negate that monster's effects. Return this card to the bottom of the Deck. • Synchro: Destroy all other cards you control. Banish this card. • Xyz: That monster cannot attack directly. Attach this card to the Summoned monster as Xyz Material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveGuy234 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 This is probably the best card that I've made so far. Made for a dark attribute based deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hmm, maybe we're also to include the relevant review threads with our cards to verify that the cards have been reviewed by the community?

Aix Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 TBQH, none of the cards posted in this thread are actually good, except maybe one. Might quickly review them tomorrow, but this thing isn't really working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 TBQH, none of the cards posted in this thread are actually good, except maybe one. Might quickly review them tomorrow, but this thing isn't really working. I came in here to say the same =x No negative criticism is a really bad rule because it turns this into a cesspool. It just encourages the bad members (loosely used) to post without fear of being called out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I agree with both. However, I would rather have a cesspool of cards that might eventually be replaced by better cards as the owners become better at card design and/or the game (if they ever do), than risk this thread to die because a flame war spurted from a negative comment. I would like for all the cards posted here to be balanced and well designed from the beginning, but as I pointed out in the OP, it's something we cannot control. If someone feels like helping the card creators, they can send them a couple of PMs with comments and suggestions and help them to improve; but allowing criticism here (either positive or negative) would derail the thread into yet-another "Rate my Card" thread, which is not the goal. If you ("you" in general, not referring to anyone in specific) can't or don't want to help them, then the least I can ask from you is tolerance, patience, understanding, faith, positive thinking, etc. when looking at this thread, because there are and will be users who break the rules.

Blake Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 That is terrible logic. You shouldn't celebrate something awful in the hopes that it might grow up to be a butterfly. All this thread does is encourage people that they're in the right because no one is allowed to tell them otherwise. The thread's a train wreck so far. How you've done it here just makes it a safe haven for bad cards to be posted. Yeah, they can be PMd, but they can ignore those and leave their crap on display. You overestimate people's desire to learn. What you ask for is unrealistic and totally idealistic, and in no way works. It's just not a good idea to remove negative criticism like this, and the thread shows such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dom- Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Even with what's been said above, I'm still going to post a card I'm proud of, which did actually win one of Aix's contests a while ago, and got some positive comments when I put it in RC: (proof - http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/317286-returning-rockets-staple/?p=6416914) Destroy all other cards in this card's column. After this effect resolves, add this card to your opponent's hand instead of sending it to the Graveyard. You can only activate 1 "Returning Rockets" per turn. any PMs for criticism would actually be great, as I can't bump the thread and would like to know if the card would still be relevant or useful.

You overestimate people's desire to learn. What you ask for is unrealistic and totally idealistic, and in no way works. It's just not a good idea to remove negative criticism like this, and the thread shows such. Once again, I agree. It is full of wishful thinking and expecting things to magically get better over the time is not the best approach and, as you say, unrealistic. I don't like how the thread is going so far, but I don't think that allowing criticism is the answer. You state that this is a safe haven for bad cards, which is true, and then you state that the users can't be helped because they can simply ignore advice given through PM, and I agree and am aware of this. So, the way I see it, there is no apparent solution, as we cannot force any given user to improve if he/she doesn't want to. And allowing criticism in this thread wouldn't change things either because they can ignore it as well, or worse, lose their temper if it was negative criticism (as it has happened before). Now, my question is: what do you suggest? Allowing criticism? That would degenerate the thread into a "post your card here for reviews" thread, which is not the point. Lock the thread? Yes, that's an option, but it is akin to giving up, and I don't want to give up yet. I could add a rule stating the card must be not only your best, but also actually good, but I doubt it would make that much of a difference if the creators believe their cards are indeed good. For the record, plus I feel I should explain this better: I'm not against negative criticism such as "your card is not good", but rather harsh criticism, so to speak, using rude words or insults. There is a big difference between saying that a card is weak, bad, not good, subpar, could be better, etc. than saying it is horrible, awful, the worst thing ever, stupid, it sucks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzyshot Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Out of curiosity you said we should post 1 card we are proud of (so far). If this card happens to be a Ritual card could we post the Monster and Spell together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzyshot Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Please disregard the other spoilers in the thread. That being said here is the thread. [spoiler= Galaxy Rex & Enter Earth] Galaxy Rex ATK/ 2900 DEF/ 2600 Lore: Must be Ritual Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. You can Ritual Summon this card with "Enter Earth". Once per turn by discarding 1 card: Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. Enter Earth Lore: This card is used to Ritual Summon "Galaxy Rex". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 8 or more.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 [spoiler=Number 110] 3 Level 4 Dragon-Type monsters Other Dragon-Type monsters you control cannot be destroyed by Spell/Trap Cards. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; select 1 monster your opponent controls, and if you do, halve its ATK. When this card is destroyed: Target 1 Level 4 or lower Dragon-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target. And BTW the pic is implicitly based on Latias, but it is, in no way, intended to be a PC-card.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Technically speaking, the rule requiring a link to the thread as confirmation was set AFTER the first few users posted. Some of the members who've posted with the new addition in play have failed to obey that. @Sunn O: Yeah, it has been reviewed by Voltex. Just make sure you link the thread; even though it's page 1 now. @Cow Cow: It's been agreed in PM amongst myself, Striker and Saber that this needs to be watched carefully, considering its nature. We'll be keeping an eye on it (assuming Voltex will be watching his own thread as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well, that's a good thing, because looking through this. Rule 1 seems to have been very barely acknowledged. Many of these from what I can tell have been reviewed positively enough to warrant being in a thread for well-designed cards. Didn't know the second rule was posted later, but right, that also hasn't been followed well. Rule 3 has been fine, sorta, except for one post. And even rule 7 has been ignored a couple times. This is going to take a LOT of Moderation. Is there any way to have posts have to wait for approval to be posted? Because I have a feeling there will be a lot of new members posting a card they got one decent review on, usually from another new member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Isn't this literally Hall of Fame #2? You know, the one where the moderation team got overwhelmed by a wave of not really worthy nominations and thus everyone stopped giving a shit? Except, this one seems to have even lower standards. /ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 In addition to Toyo, I find it appalling how even the card submitted by a mod isn't a well-designed card, much less decently flavored. It's also the type of design that completely overshadows older design (not even that much older and even in the same set of cards) by doing basically everything that card does. It does a tiny bit less in exchange for not being a reactive card and having a third effect. Not to mention its first effect is far superior, especially on a 25/21. And I get that 114 is double of 57, but that doesn't mean the flavor's correct. Sorry if this goes into "reviewing", as I don't mean to, but I want to make the point that if even the mods that are tasked with keeping this thread stocked only on well designed cards can't design cards adequately themselves, how can you trust them to manage this?
