Volt Capricorn

[Rayzuke]

 

 

Name: Volt Capricorn

Stars: 4

Card print: Effect Monster

Element: Light

Type: Thunder

Stats: ATK/ 1600 DEF/1100

Effect: You can only control one "Volt Capricorn". During your Battle Phase this card cannot be destroyed.  A monster attacked by this card is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.

 

 

 

Its just a casual Monster I made out of Boredom. Not really Meta defining or awfully useful on its own. Its main advantage is that you can use it rather carefree in your battle phase and can force enemy monsters into defence position. While not the most practical thing in the world its easy to use and understand and not game breaking. Feel free to criticize or inform me of Cards that might be a carbon copy. I stopped playing this Game ages so I am not familiar with every card after the synchro era. I did my best to ensure that my Card is not a Novel unlike Current Yugioh cards. 

 

P.S. This post might be horribly out of place and I like to apologize in advance. 

 

EDIT:

-Monster effect was cleaned up and properly shorted.

-fixed Grammar issue (Defence ----> Defense)

 

Thanks to @Dr. Jolly Glot the III and @Darj for helping with the effect clean up and being overall respectable gentleman.

No need to, you post in the right section.

Text bit rusty i see, rough fix:

You can only control 1 "Volt Capricorn". This card cannot be destroyed by battle. At the end of the Damage Step when this card attack an Attack Position monster, you can changed that monster into Defense Position. 

Well, its another Thunder type stun monster, while battle is still the prominent win clause for most decks and you did said that yoy dont want tp make a power card but i dont think a singular attack lock that also risk your LP when you ram it is not gonna help much against establish board from any tier

Could use some boost

While the text is a bit rusty I did get it mostly right. Your text fixes changes the actual effect of this card. "This card cannot be destroyed by battle" Is a vastly different effect from "During your battle Phase this card can not be destroyed."  Volt Capricorn was designed to be only indestructible during your OWN battle phase. When Volt Capricorn gets attacked by another monster it can get destroyed by battle like any other monster. In your own battle phase and only your own Volt Capricorn is immune to all forms of destruction. It cannot get destroyed by Mirror Force or the Flip Effect of Man Eater Bug in this span of time.  However it is still effected by any other card that does not destroy it like Hyper Hammer Head that sends it back into your own hand.

@Rayzuke ah i see:

You can only control 1 "Volt Capricorn". During your Battle Phase of your turn, this card cannot be destroyed by opponent's card (either by battle or card effect). At the end of the Damage Step when this card attack an Attack Position monster, you can changed that monster into Defense Position. 

Not really change the utility much though, while quick destruction effect during your turn is not brand new concept, player rarely do that on battle. Especially since modern Trap card and Flip Monster is not yet as endorsed as several format except for build-around, effect or summon negation. In short you not really need to worry for battle trap thus the anti destruction is kinda too niche for its intentions

@Dr. Jolly Glot the III

Why do you keep on adding details to the effect that make it more niche?

It was never added that the cards have to be from your opponent. Lets say your opponent special summons a monster during your battle phase via destruction. Then I could still use torrential tribute to clear the field of any monster that does not resist that trap card and my own Volt Capricorn would still be fine.

Also "During YOUR Battle Phase of YOUR turn" is it not rather self explanatory  that you can have your battle phase in only your own turn? Or is there a new monster archtype that lets you have your own battle phase in your opponents turn?

This is another part I do not get besides the better Grammar on Defense. Your proposed effect correction ads again a detail that it would optional to change the monster into defence position which is rather unnecessary for its niche and overall the effect is just longer without any real changes to it. 

 

The one thing that you did cut short was Controlling one Volt Capricorn on the field and for that I am grateful but I do not understand the intend behind everything else.

 

EDIT: 

P.S. Thank you for your replies so far. I was able to get the hang of quoting and tagging on this website to this small exchange.  I have already done some clean up on the effect of Volt Capricorn to shorten the effect but I will not change the Main post for now until I here the reasoning behind the other proposed effect changes. The effect I currently have stands as: 

"You can only control one "Volt Capricorn". During your Battle Phase this card cannot be destroyed. A monster that was attacked by this card is changed into Defense Position  after the Damage Step."

If there is one massive loophole in this effect that requires further detail plz let me know.

[Darj]

Yeah, the fixes have not been entirely accurate. I would go for:
You can only control 1 "Volt Capricorn". Cannot be destroyed during the Battle Phase. A monster attacked by this card is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.

Anyway, this card is as casual as it gets. It can be improved as you know by now, but if you don't want to, that's fine.

To be fair i miss type for that one, it should be "During the Battle Phase of your turn". But alas going with Darj "Cannot be destroyed during the Battle Phase" should suffice

More often than not when i do faulty clean up like this the decision on what i put i purely assumption on what possible effect could be. Which i have to do when new user post cards that the writting not really convey what they want , but then again now that you explain it in detail then its clear that you deliberately making it mandatory effect. Its fine.

@Darj but then again if im not remember it wrong, PSCT dictate that "Cannot be destroyed during the Battle Phase" must be accompanied with parentheses that explain the type of destruction it can interact with correct?

Not necessarily. The PSCT is used to exclude destruction by maintenance costs and card mechanics. But if you want to cover everything, as this card intents to do, then you don't need the PSCT. One of the few examples of this is Diamond Core of Koak'i Meiru.

@Dr. Jolly Glot the III @Darj

Thanks for the support and Clean up of the Monster effect. The changes have been made. 

 

[cuestion]

how can i upload pictures like this way, i mean 1 post images but you neeed to download the images, i want the images appear like this, can you help me?

 

[Rayzuke]

@cuestion

Well first of I am working on a PC. I have no idea if this is possible with a mobile phone.

When I create my post the first thing I do is click on:  "Drag files here to attach, or choose files"  I always click choose files. Then out of my download I select the Card that I want to post which is a regular JPG I downloaded before hand. And then that should be it.  

If you want to find out where to make those card pictures I always use https://yemachu.github.io/cardmaker/. 

Once the card I wanted to make is finished I just click the picture to the left and it should download it automatically which should take less then a second. 

 

Is everything clear?

[cuestion]

mmm ok ill try it i make a whole deck, but my images need to be download it, they dont appear like yours like the full card u know. but thanks men

This is not correct section to ask question like this, please refrain doing it in the future

But alas, ill answer your question. You can post image by uploading it first in your Imgur account (its free and safe) then copy paste the BB code link of your Imgur image on your post. It works both on PC and Mobile

[cuestion]

did i do something wrong?
