Insect Cards

Some Insect-type monster and Insect-support card I made for a character in a fanfiction. I tried my best and used multiple actual card references for wordings, so I hope the OCG is correct. Since this is for a fanfic, the cards don't need to be powerful in metagame or anything, I just want to make sure I have gotten OCG correct and that they aren't too underpowered or overpowered or doing something another card was already doing better which I accidentally overlooked.

 

 

Monsters:

 

Persistent Roach

DARK
Level 2

Insect/Effect

When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 "Persistent Roach" from your Deck. During your Standby Phase, if you have 3 "Persistent Roach" in your Graveyard: You may Banish this card; Special Summon 1 "Persistent Roach" from your Graveyard and shuffle one "Persistent Roach" from your Graveyard into your deck.

200 ATK/200 DEF

 

Synchro Ringworm

DARK
Level 2

Insect/Tuner/Effect

If you have summoned a Level 5 or higher Insect-Type monster this turn, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned this way: You can raise or lower this card's level by up to 1.

500 ATK/800 DEF

 

Yes, I do know that Ringworm is a fungus and not an actual worm. I just liked the wordplay.

 

Insect Queen Larva

EARTH
Level 3

Insect/Effect

This card gains 100 ATK for each Insect-Type monster on the field. Tribute this card and 1 other Insect-Type monster you control: Target 1 of your banished Level 5 or lower Insect-Type monsters; Special Summon that monster.

500 ATK/800 DEF

 

Volume Spider

EARTH
Level 3

Insect/Effect

Up to twice per turn: You may add 1 "Silent Strider" or "Noisy Gnat" from your Deck to your hand.

1000 ATK/1000 DEF

 

Colony Egg Tender

EATH
Level 4

Insect/Effect

When this card is Normal Summoned: Add 1 "Insect Imitation" from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand.

1200 ATK/1200 DEF

 

The Japanese name of Insect Imitation is Hatching, so this ties more to that than the English name. Stats are a bit weak for a Level 4, but it's meant as a set-up card and not meant for use by itself.

 

Orchid Mantis

EARTH
Level 4

Insect/Effect

One per turn: If this card is not a Plant-Type monster you may change this card's type to Plant, OR: If this card is not an Insect-Type monster you may change this card's type to Insect. Apply the appropriate following effect based on this card's Type: • Insect: This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase. • Plant: This card gains 100 ATK for each Insect-Type monster you control.

1500 ATK/800 DEF

 

Figured out how to make dots (ALT + 0149) but this may still be worded wrong.

 

Insect Paladin

EARTH
Rank 4

Insect/Xyz/Effect

2 Level 4 monsters

Once per turn: You may detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; attacking creatures you control cannot be destroyed by battle this turn. If a monster you control targets an opponent's Attack-Position monster for an attack, and neither monster is destroyed by that battle: This card gains 200 ATK.

1900 ATK/2100 DEF

 

Just a little gimmicky thing. There are some uses, I guess. Still not something I bet would be a major force.

 

Army of Ants

EARTH
Level 5

Insect/Effect

When this card in your Graveyard is banished: Special Summon 1 "Army Ant Token" (Insect-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 500/DEF 1200).

1000 ATK/2400 DEF

 

Dimensionhopper

LIGHT
Level 5

Insect/Effect

You can Special Summon this banished card by paying 1000 Life Points and Tributing 1 Insect-Type monster you control. Banish any monster destroyed by battle with this card.

2200 ATK/1500 DEF

 

Almost made this banish itself when it's destroyed, but then I realized it had a bit of synergy with my Pheromone Trail card a bit down. If it got killed, you can banish it to summon another Level 5 Insect (Such as another Dimensionhopper) and then sacrifice that card to summon this since the special summoned creature would be destroyed at the end of the turn anyway.

 

Pheromone Courier

EARTH

Level 5

Insect/Effect

When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon up to 2 Level 3 or lower Insect-type monsters from your deck.

2100 ATK/800 DEF

 

Ectoplasm Webber

DARK

Level 7

Insect/Effect

Once per turn: You may banish 2 Insect-type monsters from your Graveyard; target 1 Normal Spell in your Graveyard, then add it to your hand.

2200 ATK/2600 DEF

 

Exploder Dragonflywing

WIND
Level 7

Insect/Synchro/Effect

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner Insect-Type monsters

At the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles a monster: You can destroy all Spell/Trap cards with the same controller as the monster, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 400 x the number of cards destroyed this way. This card's ATK must be greater than or equal to the ATK of that monster to activate and resolve this effect. If you use this effect, that monster is not destroyed by battle.

2400 ATK/1600 DEF

 

For this card, I started by finding a Level 7 Synchro with Dragon in its name so I could make the Dragonfly joke. Ended up with Exploder Dragonwing and then changed this ability from the attacked creature to Spells/Traps with the same owner so it wasn't an exact replica.

 

Sun-Roller Scarab

FIRE
Level 7

Insect/Synchro/Effect

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters.

When this card destroys a creature by battle: Place 1 Scarab Counter on this card; then for each Scarab Counter on this card, deal damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's level x 100.

2400 ATK/2000 DEF

 

Not sure if I have the damage ability worded correctly because it has two variables, whereas most cards with variables only have one.

 

Angelic Moth

LIGHT
Level 8

Insect/Effect

This card cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by its own effect. You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by shuffling 3 of your banished Insect-Type monsters into your deck. This card gains 100 ATK and DEF for each of your banished Insect-Type monsters. During either player's turn: You may shuffle one of your banished Insect-Type monsters into your deck; this card gains 200 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn.

2200 ATK/2200 DEF

 

Pheromone Queen

EARTH
Level 8

Insect/Effect

This card gains 400 ATK for each Insect-type monster on the field. You can Tribute 3 monsters to Tribute Summon this card. If you do: Special Summon 1 Insect-type monster from your graveyard.

2200 ATK/2400 DEF

This one is a new version of Insect Queen so it has the same original ATK/DEF and the first ability is based of the manga version of the card, but I tried to add my own twist with the name and second/third ability.

 

Galactipede, Macro Millipede

EARTH
Level 9

Insect/Synchro/Effect

1 Tuner + 1 or more Insect-Type non-Tuner monsters

This card can attack all creatures your opponent controls once each. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. When this card inflicts battle damage to your opponent: Send the top card of their library to the Graveyard.

2600 ATK/2600 DEF

 

Spells:

 

Grand Insect Imitation

Normal Spell

Tribute 2 monsters. Special Summon 1 Insect-Type monster from your Deck whose Level is equal to or lower than the combined levels of the tribute monsters.

 

Gathering Army Ants

Continuous Spell

Once per turn: You may discard 1 monster card to Special Summon 1 "Army Ant Token" (Insect-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 500/DEF 1200). That token cannot be tributed for a Tribute Summon this turn.

 

Pheromone Trail

Continuous Spell

Once per turn: You can Banish 1 Insect-type monster from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Insect-type monster from your deck with the same level as the banished monster. Destroy the Special Summoned monster during the End Phase.

Traps:

 

Swarm Protector

Counter Trap

Activate only when a face-up Insect-Type monster you control is attacked. Negate that attack; You can also Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Insect-type monster from your hand.

Thank you for the interest, but could you please give some more constructive responses? I believe the forum rules is at least 2-3 sentences per card. While it is nice to hear that you find them interesting, it would do better to say why you find them interesting and if you think there is anything that could be improved on them.

You should probably actually make the cards before posting them here. We are yugiohCARDMAKER.net after all.

 

Anyway, looks really good. It seems to synergize well and you have actual ways of summoning those powerful monsters without it being overpowered. Can't really find any flaw with this except I'm not sure what you mean by "top of their library". One other thing I'd do is add a level 7 synchro so that you could get the most out of Ringworm. Other than that, I'd just like the see the physical cards is all really. Good job!

I'd like to make the actual cards, and actually have a finished full render of Persistent Roach, but there is a small problem with that. Some of these (Like Orchid Mantis) wouldn't be incredibly hard to get pictures for. But a few (Such as Volume Spider and Synchro Ringworm) would require either (1) Lots of image searching that has a good chance of still not turning up anything, (2) Trying to get a commissioned piece, (3) Trying to draw it myself, which would just turn out awful, or (4) Settle on an image that doesn't really fit, which feels like it would make the render pointless if it doesn't show the card.

 

I took the "top of their library" wording straight from Aztekipede, the Worm Warrior.

 

Level 7 Synchro? That's a pretty good idea, I'll probably do that.

 

Thanks.
