Be warned: Sakura is working on a banlist, so don't expect every card to be at 3.

I personally will not be Dueling, for 3 reasons:
1. I am running this. Conflict of interest, ne?
2. My name is on everything else, I don't want to see myself on a tournament ladder again.
3. I suck.

1st Prize: 50% of total pot
2nd Prize: 30% of total pot
3rd Prize: 20% or total pot

Current Pot: 200 Points

Participants:
(Nobody yet)

By the way, if someone could make a cool graphic for up there, I'd be much obliged.

Tinkerer · September 21, 2015

(Darn! I can't use Buster Blader Platoon alongside the new BB support cards...)

Anyways, yeah, I'm in. Would it be ok if I send the points in at a later time though? I might have midterms then so I'd need to drop out.

Draconus297 · September 21, 2015

As long as they're in before October 2nd, I don't see why not.

TF2_The_Scout · September 21, 2015

If anyone plays Gargoyles or AntiHERO, tell me how they went.

Tojin · September 21, 2015

Ditto for Funereal Flowers.

Flash Flyer - Sakura · September 21, 2015

I could say the same for Phoenix Guardians or Electric Field (though I only now added the Xyz due to coursework issues).

As for the banlist, I will have it up in a few days.

(I have more stuff than Nai to review at this point)

Draconus297 · September 21, 2015

Considering I only really build bigger and/or more creative beatsticks, I pretty much know how any of my sets will go.

However, I'd be honored if they got used.

Self-Destruct Button · September 21, 2015

Is there a reason most of the generics have terrible Design? I mean, just look at that:

"Lady Luck's Palace

Field Spell
This card cannot be destroyed. During each of your Standby Phases, roll a six-sided die. Activate one of the following effects based upon the result-
1: The original ATK of all monsters becomes 0.
2: Neither player can activate Spell Cards.
3: You and your opponent trade hands.
4: All cards in the Banished Zone are treated as being in the Graveyard, and vice versa.
5: All effects that increase Life Points decrease them, and vice versa.
6: Trap Cards can be activated without being Set."

The first thing that is wrong here: The effects last forever! If you roll a 1, the ATK of ALL monsters becomes 0 for as long as the card is on the field. If you roll a 2, no one can activate Spell Cards as long as its on the field. It makes playing the game impossible. But that isn't even the worst one.

Glorious Draw
Quick-Play Spell
Both players select one monster they control, negate all of its effects, and banish it. They then draw cards equal to the Level or Rank of the banished monster. If either player does not control any monsters, they draw an equal number of cards that their opponent drew by this effect.

Glorious Searchlight
Quick-Play Spell
Declare the name of one card. Draw cards from your Deck until you draw the declared card. If you do not draw the declared card, shuffle your hand into your Deck, and draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand before you activated this effect +1. Your opponent then draws cards equal to the number of cards you drew (after shuffling, if necessary).

Now, Seriously. What is up with these cards? Why would any player possibly draw up to 10 cards? Both cards are just dumb and make for ridiculously fast deckouts, FTKs, OTKs and weird exodia strategies. (the latter of which is, by the way, the least problematic the cards can get)

That's just some of the reasons why this looks like a bad idea. Sorry if I'm being blunt here, but it had to be done.

Premier Alexander Romanov · September 21, 2015

...Draconus.

What in the world are you doing with ALL OF THESE BROKEN CARDS?!?

Flash Flyer - Sakura · September 21, 2015

Just as a sidenote that not all of them are Draconus's stuff.

But yeah, looking at the generics, we need a banlist so we don't get ragequits in the middle of matches.

Some of the cards are pretty crazy.

(Let me look at the generics first and decide an appropriate list position in our metagame.)

Draconus297 · September 21, 2015

No one critiqued them on the MANY earlier occasions in which I brought them out, edits can be made easily.

Seriously, overreaction city.

As Sakura said, not every Singles card is mine.

And, before I get hate mail, might I point out that none of these are up yet?

Flash Flyer - Sakura · September 21, 2015

Let's go over the three cards that SDB pointed out.

First, the Field Spell.

In a very similar vein to Golden Castle of Stromberg, it cannot be popped via MST. Yes, it can still be bounced via Castel and whatnot, but that's not good design to do so.

Plus, all of the effects are pretty nutty, bar for the 5th one (I have not looked at the other Archetypes if they have LP increasing/decreasing).

If I need to remind you, the 6th effect is why Temple of the Kings was banned until recently.

Second one locks off Spell Cards, which is effectively 30-40% of your Deck gone. Unless your Deck is monster mash or something, or relies more on Traps, yeah not good.

Definitely change the card, so the effects aren't nutty.

-----

Both Glorious Spells that SDB mentioned are also badly designed.

Searchlight can essentially draw one's entire Deck, which Exodia decks will love. Yeah, mass drawing cards are a no-no, even if you end up discarding them.

Draw is in a similar vein; banish a high Level/Rank monster, then you get massive draw.

Sure, you lose a big monster, but some Decks function with high Levels so they won't mind too much about losing a particular one.

Now for the others....

Ankh gives you access to Nomi monsters in the Graveyard, which is something that comes as unsettling.

The opponent gets stuff too, but not keen on this being capable of reviving massive monsters that have Nomi conditions in the first place.

Alchemy is okay to an extent.

-----

I'll look over the other generics, but keep in mind that if the problem cards aren't fixed, I'll have to ban them.

Draconus297 · September 21, 2015

Lady Luck's Palace now lasts from the start of your turn until the end of your opponent's turn- what my original intent had been, if I'm honest.

Searchlight has been removed entirely, I'm not sure how to fix that.

Ankh can no longer retrieve nomi- and semi-nomi monsters.

Regarding Glorious Draw . . . it works as advertised, I really don't know what to do about that.

Azure Wolf · September 21, 2015

Well I'm in, though depending on how things go with internet, or how often I can get round to my grans that might change.

TF2_The_Scout · September 21, 2015

Hey Sakura, how's that banlist coming along?

Flash Flyer - Sakura · September 22, 2015

Well, I've only went through the generics so far.

I've yet to touch on the Archetypes that got submitted besides mine.

In terms of the problem cards in that pile, Field Spell has not been changed, so will have to ban it until change is made.

Same goes with Draw.

Ankh is still a double Monster Reborn for the most part based on wording.

Given the reliance on the Graveyard and all that stuff, it'll prove to be a concern later on, even if the opponent is granted access to monsters as well.

Leaning on putting this @1 to see how things turn out. If it proves abusive, I will ban it.

(Might want to specify your own Graveyard if that was the intent)

Procrastinape is somewhat concerning with its Draw Phase lock effect and 2K ATK.

While yes, you still draw during the End Phase, it does change strategies a bit, especially during the first turn.

Galactank messes up the Graveyard when summoned, kinda like Necroface does for banished cards, although it starts at 0.

Also not keen on it destroying stuff in hand, but it would require that you give it a prior boost + deal sizable damage (in this case, not possible without Equips and stuff)

Grand Theater punishes Decks for summoning strong monsters / swarming; again, I haven't looked at the other sets if any have LP restoration, but this one should be toned down to "once per turn" and restricted to the first monster that gets summoned. Either that, or change it to Normal Summoned monsters. I'll put this at 1.

Weedler Needler shuts off ED access, which is again concerning, even if it does require that its Level matches something else you have. That, and if you have a relatively large hand, it becomes a +2K ATK on summoning. Putting this at 1 for now. It's not ban-worthy.

I have some reservations on Fungu Baby, given what it does; only thing it lets you do is trigger effects.

Same with Powla Powa, since it will trigger regardless if you use it for a higher Level monster or to pay card effects.

Atom Shifter is a bit awkward to comprehend; will need to look over that one a bit before I make any judgment on its list position.

Clock Magicians might be concerning, given their generic Scales, but they don't do anything much except in Spellcasters/Magicians, so they should be fine.

We already got Dragonpit/vein for generic 1/8's.

---------

Unless I gave a specific list position, assume cards are still at 3 for right now.

dedavii · September 22, 2015

I'd like to see my Valkyrie cards compete in this tournament sometime.

Here's a link to the post http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/331948-valkyries-field-spell-monsters-a-new-archtype/

Self-Destruct Button · September 22, 2015

Until further notice, if the cards are fixed and the banlist is okay, I might participate. I really hope that the Archetypes are balanced against each other.

Another thing I sincerely hope is that the written archetypes at least get filler art for this tournament. 2 Decks without images going against each other could get confusing and pretty ugly.

Flash Flyer - Sakura · September 22, 2015

Phoenix Guardians might get some stuff; I know someone suggested images for them.

As for Electric Field, I'll come up with some vector art of electricity or something.

Draconus297 · September 22, 2015

Regarding images, I was thinking of just getting pictures of snakes for the Fungal Serpents, I'm going to have to step over copyright for images for the Cosmo stuff, and the Inner Demons should be easy to find stuff for . . . I'm just worried about the Steel Dragons.

And, on the singles, I can personally fill some of them. So there's that.

TF2_The_Scout · September 22, 2015

What about for Gargoyles and Mirtor Force?

Draconus297 · September 22, 2015

Your archetypes.

You'd be better suited for finding images than I would, because anything I'd find probably wouldn't match up to what you thought about.

TF2_The_Scout · September 23, 2015

This is the best I could do for Gargoyle images.

[spoiler=images]

Goliath

Ledsig

Quarryman

Argnant

Broxx

Xanatos

Revenge

Restructuring

Rock armor

Awakening

Dawning

Castle

Draconus297 · September 24, 2015

Sakura, any progress on the banlist?

I'm going to start putting stuff up tomorrow, and it'd help if I knew which cards (beyond LLP and Glorious Draw) were banned, so I can just skip on uploading them.

TF2_The_Scout · September 24, 2015

Hey Draco. I'm thinking about adding two new Gargoyled, an Effect Veiler one and a Shaddoll Falcons one(special summon from the grave in face down defense). Would that be too much?
