Nathanael D. Striker Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 This is a free-for-all. Both contestants made any card they wished. Votes must have a reason and first to 3 votes wins the Tournament. [spoiler=Darkplant - VENOM] [img]http://i.imgur.com/FywL2.jpg[/img] When your opponent Special Summons a monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Special Summoned: destroy all monsters on the field except this card. Then, this card gains the total ATK of your opponent's monsters destroyed by this effect.[/spoiler] [spoiler=newhat] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wnvOD.jpg[/img] During either player's turn: You can banish this card from your hand or Graveyard; the next time a card(s) would be sent to the Graveyard this turn, that card(s) is banished instead.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Leo Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Darkplant - VENOM because his card provides mass monster removal, which can lead to you having a lot of attack. Punishes your opponent for over extending. It is OPed, but that is kinda obvious. The other card is a lackluster DD Crow that probably would never see play. So Darkplant - VENOM gets my vote.

Agro Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Okay. I have a few problems with Darkplant's card: 1. It's a torrential. 2. It resembles gorz. Sure, it punishes for overextending, but it also can't really be stopped by anything bar solemn. It creates a mindset much like Gorz or Honest, two cards that should arguably be banned. newhat's card on the other hand, is balanced. It's not that good, no, but I'll take an average card over a broken card that should start out on the banlist any day of the week. Darkplant, you're usually good at this, but this once, you've gone a bit too far. Point to newhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugendramon Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well, Agro said it. Albeit Darkplant's card being more useful for obvious reason, these contests are supposed to give the win to the best card design. Which Kenta's card certainly is not.

Expelsword Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Neither is a good card, but since Konami usually prints more worthless garbage than broken #$%^, I give a point to newhat. Let's find a higher quality matchup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I must admit, I came here expecting brilliance and got decent either side. I would normally review these with my scheme, but it's 1am now and I honestly can't be bothered. So let's make it quick. Fantastical name, Darkplant. Fantastical, not fantastic, because the pompous way it rolls off the tongue reminds me of Willy Wonka. The card itself is terrible design, as easy to get out as Tragoedia with all the pro-conservative boredom of Gorz. It's a walking Dark Hole with beating power, so I'd say it's better than both. Newhat's card has a snappy moniker too, and acts as a sort of adaptable tuner D.D. Crow. Well balanced, but I can't see it being more than an obscure tech or side deck card. As I prize buffing over conservatism with balance, Darkplant wins my vote. Fair play to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
