w00tcolors Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hey folks, this is my first set of custom cards. I will admit that they aren't great, but I think that they are a pretty good start to what I hope is a collection that I will continue to update consistently. The biggest problem that I had with these cards was dealing with balance. Since the cards I have done so far are from the very early parts of DBZ (Saiyan Saga), I didn't want to make the cards too powerful, but considering the massive powers of some of these characters, even at the beginning of the series put me in a bind. However, I think I came up with a happy medium that gives me room to work with in the future. There is one problem I am already aware of with this set, and it will be fixed with later releases of these cards: A few of the cards have identical serial numbers, I apologize about this, I guess I forgot to randomize the serials a few times. Anyway, here is what I have so far, in no particular order: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKyogre Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am reading your set and while I'm doing that I recommend 2 things:1. Use img tags or...2. Arrange the thumbnails so that they are adjacent to each other. Anyway, the rest of the cards need effects (when typing effects, you need not put "Effect:") that fit where they came from. And where's the Spell card for Gohan Oozaru?). Their stats also need to be souped up appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsoldier Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 There are a lot of normal monsters here, which is not looked upon greatly by a lot of the older members. I personally don't care since this is your first set. Also another thing, the way you've written your effect monsters is incorrect. You're supposed to just right the whole effect, for example, Oozaru Gohan's effect would be "This monster cannot be normal summoned or set. This monster can only be special summoned by the effect of "Full Moon" while there is a "Kid Gohan" in face-up attack position on your side of the field". Another thing, your values for attack and defense are kind of low, but it is not a problem if you're only planning on using the Saiyan saga. The pictures are nice as well.Overall, this set gets a 7.5/10 since you need to work on the effects, and add in spells and traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w00tcolors Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thank you for the critiques! The set is by no means finished, and I will have a lot more cards added. I think I ended up completely forgetting about the full moon card so it will definitely be available in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00tcolors Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 What everybody said' date=' and once you make your super sayians, try not to overpower them. ^_^ Make some more!!![/quote'] My first priority with this set was to make a balanced set of DBZ cards, so far, this has been accomplished. My second goal was to make them as accurate as possible to the DBZ show, as I suspected, I did give up some of this to balance the card out a bit more. I already have a few super saiyans made as base cards, this way I will have a pretty good idea on what these power levels are going to be. I am currently making a few extra cards I forgot about for the Saiyan saga, and then following my next release, I will begin work on the Namekian/Frieza Saga. The obvious highlights of that set is going to be Frieza and Super Saiyan Goku, however I am personally very excited about making cards based on the Ginyu Force (I have no idea why, but I am). Once again, thank you for all the critiques and compliments! You will see improvement in my next batch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w00tcolors Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have made a small update to my set of Saiyan Saga DBZ cards. The new cards are "The Full Moon" spell card and "Master Roshi" a effect monster card. I think they both turned out fairly well, check em out! Edit: I've noticed that "The Full Moon" has a typo in it. It is supposed to say: As long as you have the "Kid Gohan" instead of "As long a you have "The Kid Gohan" Sorry!

w00tcolors Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hey folks, thanks for all the critiques! I have decided that I made a few too many mistakes in these first few cards, so I will be discontinuing this set for now. I have a few other projects I would like to do first, so until then, I will work on other sets and just leave this one on hold! Thanks for viewing!
