ABC Gun Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I could not find the link to the artist but here is one for the artwork http://www.deviantart.com/art/Knight-627551426I saw this artwork on Deviantart and thought it would make a beatstick monster for The Phantom Knights (in the form of a Pseudo Trap Monster), and a quick way to Xyz Summon certain DARK or Warrior-Type Xyz Monsters. It does rely on Normal Traps to activate it, so it has some purpose being used with the other Phantom Knights Traps.I would appreciate a comment or two to help me in designing cards for the game (so that one day I can make my own art, and take these cards straight to Konami so you can all play them IRL), thanks in advance. Effect: Banish 2 Normal Trap Cards in your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Attack Position as an Effect Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 7/ATK 2800/DEF 2100), and if you do, it gains this effect. (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)● If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, or if it is sent to the Graveyard because of an opponent's card effect: Target 2 DARK Warrior-Type monsters in your Graveyard, then declare a Level; Special Summon those targets as the declared Level. Immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 DARK and/or Warrior-Type Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, using those Summoned monsters only as the Xyz Materials.You can only activate 1 "The Phantom Knights of Black Iron" per turn.

Megamaw Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 any two mat DARK xyz? any two mat Warrior Xyz? both of which are incredibly common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just a reminder that the Advanced Clause is still enforced in this section, and posting meme pics don't count as a review. But yeah, card does give PKs access to whatever DARK and/or Warrior that exists. If I could access YGOPro, I'd make a list of the valid targets this enables PKs to make, but off the top of my head (from general usability). Then again, does this card bypass general summon restrictions like Attribute/Archetype/Typing, etc. (I'll assume that it does for the time being). If the assumption is correct, then this card enables PKs to make 35 / 77, all of the Utopia Xyz, DRXD (though they can use Break Sword to do it and not resort to this). the 'tellarknight Xyz (or at least Vatlyamus), Number 24 and really a bunch of other stuff. Not an expert on how PKs work right now, but don't think they even need a card that enables them to summon any DARK / Warrior Xyz they want (nor is it a good idea to give them one). This card's banishing cost also seems detrimental to how they function in the first place, which is triggering in the Graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 That card is badass Welcome to YCM. While this is your first post on this site, please note that there exists something called the Advanced Clause in Custom Cards, which requires that you explain why you think a card is good/bad. In your case, you haven't explained anything. It's fine to compliment the user, but you must also back it up with details. (Also a note that this can be considered as spam elsewhere) ====You can use my previous post as a general guide for posting; mind you, it's not exactly the best commentary because I didn't have easy access to the targets this card can summon at the time of writing. ====Going back to that, even if we ignore any particular summon conditions, there's still a fair bit of generic 2-mat DARK and/or Warrior Xyz that this card can able, including the ones I mentioned earlier.

Darj Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I like how it's a BLS-ish Maindeck beater for decks with Normal Traps, although the effect isn't as generic.The card's Level8 doesn't go with PKs, whose Levels range from 2 to 4, but that can be fixed with a Level-changing effect, preferably a Level-copying effect like Mist Claw's.It's a shame that you aren't able to banish the PK Continuous Traps for summoning this guy, but those Traps have their own useful in-Graveyard effects so it should be fine.As for the effect, I for one find cool that it allows the player to Xyz Summon monsters that normally wouldn't be available, 2-material DARKs and Warriors with Ranks 1 and 5+, although admittedly accessing Warrior Xyzs feels a bit out of flavor since PKs are about DARK Xyzs, but the extra flexibility is welcomed. Text fix:Banish 2 Normal Trap Cards in your Graveyard; Special Summon this card in Attack Position as an Effect Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 7/ATK 2800/DEF 2100), and if you do, it gains this effect. (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)● If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, or if this card is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's card effect: Target 2 DARK Warrior-Type monsters in your Graveyard, then declare a Level from 1 to 12; Special Summon them , and if you do, their Level become the declared Level. Immediately after this effect resolves, Xyz Summon 1 DARK or Warrior-Type Xyz Monster using only those 2 monsters.You can only activate 1 "The Phantom Knights of Black Iron" per turn. Just a reminder that the Advanced Clause is still enforced in this section, and posting meme pics don't count as a review.

This card's banishing cost also seems detrimental to how they function in the first place, which is triggering in the Graveyard. The effect doesn't allow you to Xyz Summon a monster bypassing its material requirements, since it makes you perform a regular Xyz Summon, rather than Special Summoning the Xyz as cards like the RUMs and "Evo-Singularity" do.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Even if it does make you perform a normal Xyz, there's still enough targets for this to summon (including the ones I mentioned earlier, minus the 'tellars), even if it can't summon things like Ultimate Falcon or whatever has restrictions that can't be filled by DARK Warrior-Type monsters. Not to mention isn't the clause that "your review must be as long as the cards text or longer still in effect?" That would be true if posted under the old CC administration; it is not true now (or rather, has not been since mid/late 2014). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Someone posted a meme so a discussion on the review clause started... Remember to post your own opinion of the card in question though. But in all seriousness, someone brought this card up on Discord and a few people came over here to read it.
