Outerspace - Local Group

[HQCardmaker]

I added a Yu-Jo Friendship Style effect at the end. If someone says "KISS" ("Keep it simple, stupid"); I am one post or edit away from fixing the problem, as without the Yu-Jo Friendship Style effect, this card is much simpler. Just tell me to remove it, and I will. The rest of the effect on the other hand, mimics the way our Local Group would affect our monsters if they could breathe in space, hence all the weird stuff that happens in certain spots on the Field. (The strong winds are located in the near-left column and the earthy outcomes are located in the middle column) Sorry. To be fair, I could have made it even more complicated by making a chance system based on where in the Local Group each monster would find themselves, but I would need master astronomy stats to do that.

 

Outerspace - Local Group

Field Spell/Effect

Monsters with the Attribute of FIRE or WIND otherwise do not have those Attributes instead except cards that mention exchanging an Attribute(s) for other Attribute(s) in their effect text and cards in the near-left column of the Field. Monsters with the EARTH Attribute gain 300 ATK in the middle column of the Field only and lose half their Original Defense elsewhere on the Field. Effect Monster cards that mention an "Outerspace" Field Spell card(s) in their effect text gain the agreed or random choice of 500 ATK OR 500 DEF. If the card's effect text compliments "Outerspace - Local Group" specifically, your opponent must agree with your choice out of those two; however, if the card's effect text belittles "Outerspace - Local Group" specifically, you must agree with your opponent's choice out of those two.

And the version without the Yu-Jo Friendship Style Effect:

Monsters with the Attribute of FIRE or WIND otherwise do not have those Attributes instead except cards that mention exchanging an Attribute(s) for other Attribute(s) in their effect text and cards in the near-left column of the Field. Monsters with the EARTH Attribute gain 300 ATK in the middle column of the Field only and lose half their Original Defense elsewhere on the Field.

With the Yu-Jo Friendship Style Effect:

Basically the card's effect text would outright literally compliment/belittle "Outerspace - Local Group" by saying "This card goes good with/does not fair well with "Outerspace -Local Group"." or something to that effect, forcing the choice of either 500 ATK or 500 DEF on the controller/opponent respectively. And if neither happens, I guess you can "Shuffle" two stray Token cards and whichever one representative of the random choice shows up on top gets the randomization seal of approval, or whatever method you deem random that doesn't break the flow of game play.

I think with the Yu-Jo Friendship Style Effect, it brings something very good to the table. But the effect is so long with it, to be honest, I can do without it. Also, /Half your Original Defense/ placement-conditional loss might be a bit much. I think the card needs a good flat rate. But I have trouble thinking of a good one that says "You are in outer space, but you are also in familiar territory." Sorry for the mess of words. I just wanted to catch myself in the act of not being PSCT- or KISS-friendly before I posted this. I know the card isn't a finished product, but at least I learned.

I'd like to also admit that if you want to make a series of Outerspace Field Spell cards, you are free to expand on this set. Currently it is just a lone card, and probably not a final answer product at that. But I'd like to see what other people come up with.

first of all what are you trying to accomplish with 

Monsters with the Attribute of FIRE or WIND otherwise do not have those Attributes instead except cards that mention exchanging an Attribute(s) for other Attribute(s) in their effect text and cards in the near-left column of the Field. Monsters with the EARTH Attribute gain 300 ATK in the middle column of the Field only and lose half their Original Defense elsewhere on the Field. Effect Monster cards that mention an "Outerspace" Field Spell card(s) in their effect text gain the agreed or random choice of 500 ATK OR 500 DEF.

is it to make players column conscious? The ability is very lacking in use and makes the game more taxing in the process.

I like the idea of "complimenting/belitleing" but lets try to follow PSCT (I know you don't know it that is why some of the more senior members help us) and giving your opponent the option makes belittlers inherently weaker and takes time to decide.

How about this:

name your monsters: Spacepal/Spacemal (or something to this theme but keep it short) followed by a unique name.

for this card Spacepal monsters gain 500 ATK for every Spacepal and 500 defense for each Spacemal you control and Spacemals gain the inverse. The archetype could revolve around their dual interaction like dream mirrors themed around space friendship/rivalry.

You have wonderful ideas it just seem s most are impractical and unrefined. You are imaginative keep up the good work.
