Well here's something new I came up with. I'd like some feedback. ;)

I seriously didn't have the patience to edit them, I wanted to give them a dark red frame, but it'd be a pain becuase of the level stars and the attribute.

At any rate, I think it's a fun concept. Since they depend on your opponent's actions, most of the time you won't be summoning anything on your turns, so the fact that they can be brought out from the Deck is kinda compensated. I think. ;)

The fact that they can only come out when your opponent actually does something is a drawback per se, I think. But yeah, I put them up for suggestions, it's not a definitive concept at all.

 

So, instead of basically saying that they suck, it'd be awesome if you could say something constructive now. Thankies.

I didn't say they suck, I don't know how to improve them.

I overlook somethings sometimes even though I read them.

But I never took in the not being able to be Normal Summoned part. I'll register that now, and try make my analysis of balance...

 

Not being able to not Normal Summon them does make them more balanced, you will be doing a lot of Special Summoning still though esp during your opponents turn.

Yup, that's exactly the point. Vanity's Fiend would kill the Set, but fortunately nobody runs that. :P

Also, sorry for sounding agressive a while back.

 

CrazyKev: Yup, they're hard to summon, that's why I included some cards to go around it, and some monsters like Ioku Ape that are easier to bring out. ;) Oh, and interesting how "very nice" = 3.15. I'm just gonna disregard the rating altogether.

Id get a migraine thinking whether or not I had a monster in my deck that fit the requirements. Id have to keep a piece of paper handy. I still don't know what to rate, Ill have to see until someone does a full review of your set :)

I don't expect anyone giving this a full review' date=' people rarely bother to read thoroughly more than 5 cards. :/

That's not entirely fair. I almost got through reading the monster cards :P.

They're not bad, but it would get annoying to have two people dueling with these cards. Maybe I should make a custom card file in Tag Force 2 and have two people duel with the same deck... :D

 

Nah. Too much work.

I'm not sure what to rate; I don't generally give ratings unless I read the whole thing.

Preliminary Rate: Very nice cards. Love the idea!!

overall - 13.33/13.69

 

EDIT: In-depth review under the spoiler (it's really long and I didn't want to bloat the size of this page :P)

 

[spoiler=In-Depth Review]

Ape - Easy to summon, probably the first monster out most of the time. “Beast Warrior” (no hyphen)

 

Sniper Model – Fairly easy to summon, with all the drawing cards in the game. Negative effect seems a little overpowered, maybe only 1 card?

 

Belua – Easy to summon, plus a bonus effect gaining effect. Well-balanced

 

Hisroth – Triple is a little much, perhaps double would be better? Stats could almost be higher, at the cost of bumping him up to Level 3

 

Jorkag – A double special summon card, interesting. Hand restriction keeps it balanced.

 

Dog of War – Keeps you safe if your opponent plays a mirror force or lightning vortex. Balanced.

 

Nebulancer – Devastating against a Macro deck. Run 3 of these, and they’ll all be out at once.

 

ShinTori – I don’t think “sets” is capitalized, though I’m not sure about that. Solid defense, summoned when a card is set, and is most likely safe from whatever it is.

 

Gahka – “Beast Warrior” You opponent sets a monster, you get him, he gets you another counter monster from your hand, which gets you Jorkag. 3 in one turn, a little overpowered, perhaps?

 

Diarocruz – “1 or more cards” Should specify where to return cards to the hand from (field, graveyard, removed from play?). Otherwise, good.

 

Deva – Saves destroyed monsters, but with their effects they can be summoned immediately again. Perhaps it should be limited to once per turn, to return a monster to the deck?

 

Saibaryu – Balanced. Probably could give him a small boost in stats and still have him be balanced.

 

Hersiark – Negate Counter Trap, and give other monsters a boost. Pic could be better, but otherwise good.

 

Edra – Makes your opponent think twice about playing their heavy storm or MST. No damage effect balances it out.

 

Gigas – Hard to get out (unless you use the Gahka loop I pointed out earlier). Perhaps drop his ATK a little, or somehow fix the above loop. Either one would make him more balanced

 

Armor – Gains attack for fallen comrades, and special summons a monster when destroyed. Balanced.

 

Block! – Good card. Combo with Jorkag to get double the monsters.

 

Limitations Broken – First line: “This turn, you can Normal Summon or Set a Counter monster ignoring the Summoning conditions.” Nice backup if your opponent is being careful.

 

Counter Blaster – “Negate the attack and change the attacking monster to Defense Position. Inflict damage to your opponent’s Life Points equal to the attacking monster’s Level x 200.” Good shield.

 

Mistimed Trigger – Basic special summon from the graveyard card. A staple for any set.

 

 

 

 

Final Grade - Awesome idea and cards!!

overall - 13.47/13.69 ^_^

Wow' date=' a full review! Thanks a lot!

I'll fix the issues you mentioned. ;)

Rep coming your way for taking the time to review! :)

Haha, thanks! I enjoy doing full reviews, I just don't always have time to do them (especially for posts with this many cards ;)).

 

Hopefully I can get more time in the future to do them :D
