Mirena66 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I remade all of Arcana Force, as well as filling in the rest of the Major Arcana and adding a couple extra cards.Any advice would be very welcome as this is my first batch of cards.This is a fairly long read, since it was the full Major Arcana and more.

SwagCompton98 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 i love this that death card is broken as f**k but great job dude this is amazing i hope they return the arcana force cards were cool the effects are solid and playable but that death card holy hell yes that is death basically a speed spell 4 card the XYZ and synchros are a nice touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Yeah, the Death card is bad design, because it is not only non-targeting banishing removal, but the fact that you put a Super Polymerization clause on it. You even stated yourself that it's broken, and that alone is terrible design intent. It is your responsibility to balance the cards out properly so they aren't broken. (Just be lucky that my colleague isn't reviewing these) I'm also going to mention that you messed up the theme Arcana Force had with their stat values (which I assume you know by now), and why did you make them DARK and Level 2? Anyway...Fool: To be fair, this card was already fine on its own, even for stall purposes. As it stands now, Tails effect is the one that's most concerning as it's a blanket negation on everything while it exists. (Oh wait, it would override its own protection/negation effect the way it is worded)Magician: OK, it's fine for the most part, bar grabbing Death (which either needs to be removed or dramatically nerfed). But yeah, stats need to be toned down.Priestess: Arcana Force were designed in the GX era, so why are you making this entire set into a 5Ds/ZEXAL style thing? You need to put an OPT on the Tails effect, because as-is, it's basically a semi-floodgate saying "nope, you can't activate Traps"Empress: Needs OPT on its Heads effect.Emperor: Meh, it's fine. Hierophant: Heads effect is okay (albeit situational); Tails is basically a massive field wipe. Remember Morphing Jar #2, which is currently BANNED? Not really this, but effect borders on something similar. Lovers: Suppose it's okay. Chariot: Reliant on Priestess to even do this; Heads is basically Goyo on a Level 4 body and Tails basically puts stuff in Defense Position. It's fine, I guess.Justice: I guess AFs needed some extra help in maintaining field presence...Hermit: K, it either becomes a 22/0 monster with delayed attacking or can "stop" attacks once per turn. Tails effect is fine; Heads is iffy considering its stats in relation to Level.Wheel of Fortune: It's fine for the most part. Strength: Not really amazing, and very little reason to run this over other generic 6s that actually do stuff. Though I suppose you do need a 6 for them that won't cause Wheel to blow self up. Hanged Man: I'd normally say its stats are too high for Rank 2, but we already got stuff like Number 45 and Centaurea, so fine. Double attacker and destruction immunity work fine here, though I'd tone the latter to either battle or card effects; you choose which one is more important. Death: Either you nerf this one or remove it completely; Super Polymerization clause with non-targeting removal is terrible design, and reeks of a member who did something like this in Advanced some time back.Temperance: So discard version of Winged Kuriboh for the most part...meh, alright. Devil: Heads effect is fine (albeit I need to check if the effect applies when it's removed); Tails one is literally a walking Dark Hole on legs, which is something that I'm not keen on. (Yeah, Pendulums can recur themselves, but it basically renders the player unable to keep any field presence)Tower: I guess it's fine considering what it does; blow up monsters (though Xyz don't care about burn) or walls attacks. Still vulnerable to effect removal, but otherwise, that's it. Star: Oh yay, an actual searcher for them. Why Konami didn't give them one, idk. Sun/Moon: So if you don't flip a coin for these two if SS'd by each other, then how do you determine which effect is activated. The Heads effect is basically one-sided Skill Drain (and mind you, that card is currently Limited).Judgment: Suppose it blocks Castel/101/targeting attempts; alright. World: Original version was fine as-is; really don't see why this needed a remakePentacles: Put a hard OPT on its activation, but I suppose the revival won't hurt them and does give you Tribute fodder for later. Rule of Destiny: They already have Light Barrier to help them get rid of the uncertainly; this straight up outclasses it without any cost. King of Pentacles: Added NS shouldn't hurt; only thing to consider is multiple copies (you may need to give it a limiter, such as "You can only gain this effect once per turn.")Queen of Pentacles: Scratch what I said about relying on Priestess to do Synchro plays; suppose you have this for regenerative plays or granting battle protection. Though, with other forms of removal, battle immunity has its limits. Jack of Pentacles: Just LP gain, which is fine, I guess. Stats are decent enough. Pauper: I guess this gives them more ways to use their effects (and keep Hanged Man from banishing itself). Stat boost isn't really great, but it helps for a while. Peasant: Either revival or card drawing; alright. I won't deal with the EX cards, but yeah, you need to put some restrictions on a few of these cards. As I've said before, you either need to remove Death or rework it completely so it is not broken. As a cardmaker, you are responsible for checking that your cards aren't going to make it unfair for the opponent to play. You also should rework Rule of Destiny, so it doesn't outright beat Light Barrier (you can keep it as an added Field Spell, but have it do something else). With this one, you literally removed the luck factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirena66 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you very much for your detailed criticism,I remade the entire archetype from the ground up simply because I really liked the concept. This was 100% for fun, but I do agree they could definately be more balanced. I realized how strong Devil was while dueling on Duel Portal, since once i got it out he couldn't do anything about it, even using Predatorplants(?)I am thinking that changing it from clear, to one card would tone it down a lot. Most likely targeted. Death, Death, Death.This card, i do agree, is completely and absolutely poor design. I really don't like all the bouncing and graveyard crap that the game has evolved into, and I wanted to get rid of it all. This is simply me being mad at that bullshit, I will probably completely rework the card soon. I will take your comments into consideration, and may repost them this weekend.
