[Finished]Endet. garlandchaos wins again.

[Northern Sage]

Enguin sent in their card.

Now it's just VCR Cat on the day of the deadline.

[Northern Sage]

Ah, I'll PM VCR Cat to make sure and start judging the others in the meantime.

[Enguin Enguin Enguin Enguin]

With you being the only person to post here for the last 10 days or so I feel a different avatar and sig, namely mine, should break the monotony.

[Northern Sage]

Oops, Dova did not get in their entry either… I mistook his 1on1 submission for that.

Apologies for all the mixup.

[Northern Sage]

Okay, now I'm just waiting on Dova's response.

Scratch that, I'm blind. It was there the entire time as helpfully pointed out.

[Northern Sage]

Here come some scores! Good job everyone. They're ordered by the order in which I received them.

If this card is sent to the Graveyard from the field: You can add 1 "Bubble Breeder" from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate each effect of "Bubble Breeder" once per turn.

[spoiler=Hawk Bishop:]

Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. Cannot be targeted by card effects. At the start of the Damage Step, if a Warrior-type monster you control battles an opponent’s monster: You can make that monster you control gain ATK equal to half its original DEF, until the end of the Damage Step.

3 Level 4 monsters

Up to twice per turn, during either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 other face-up monster you control; it gains 500 ATK. This card cannot attack if it has no Xyz Material(s).

Equip Spell Card

You can only equip to this card to a "Hero" monster you control. When the equipped card is sent to the graveyard by card effect, target one Spell/Trap card on the field: Destroy it.

[spoiler=garlandchaos]

You can Special Summon this card (from your hand or Graveyard) by banishing 3 monsters from your Graveyard. When you do: You can take 1 "Blaze Accelerator" card from your deck, and either send it to the Graveyard or set it in your Spell & Trap Zone. During your Main Phase 1: You can send 1 other monster you control to the Graveyard; inflict 500 damage to your opponent + its level x200. You can only use this effect of "The Blazing Mars" once per turn.

 

Balance/Usability (36)

3 monsters is a bit heavy, and its stats aren't terribly fantastic, but the free Accelerator and better Mass Driver helps.

Flavor (40)

Very thematically coherent and true to its roots in keeping its anime abilities and fitting it in with Volcanics.

Creativity (20)

Full score on grounds of approach through incorporating the deck of its user, and semi-unique set of abilities.

=96

 

[spoiler=Azure Wolf:]

This card gains 800 ATK for each Homunculus Token on the field. If this card destroys a monster by battle, you can Special Summon 1 "Homunculus Token" (Fairy/LIGHT/Level 2/ATK 0/DEF 800). If this card would be destroyed you can destroyed, you can destroy all Tokens you control instead.

[VCR_CAT]

...I don't know why I lost points for flavor; my card works as it did in the anime, save for the distinction I made from "drawing" to "adding". Also two other small balances changes that don't change how it's used.

[cardgameking]

Congratulations to Garland ob the win.

On second thought, yes, that was a bit harsh. The connection to Koi-Koi is there. I'll concede three more points for that.

[GarlandChaos]

Welp, that's the second contest in a row that I won.

 

Mind elaborating on my score, please, Sage?

Done.

I expect bribing accusations at any time now.
