Yu-Gi-Oh! » Custom Cards

I initially just made Sunken Treasure Hoard as a one off WATER support card, but I couldn't help myself and tried making a few cards to go with it. I can't help it, archetypes are cool!

What is the point of Thief to search itself when it does nothing else?

Why would I summon it?

Why would I want to even use it?

When making a custom cards, you need to give a reason to play the cards in question.

What strategy does your Treasure Horde want to do?

To put it into perspective, I'd rather use Uni-Zombie than Thief.

Yeah I'll admit, Thief was less than half-baked. I couldn't come up with a worthwhile effect for him, but I already had the name and art, so it felt like a waste to exclude it. My basic idea with it was just "It can send itself to the GY over and over, so it can farm Treasure Counters!" But when I really think about it, it can only get 1 counter per turn, which is way too slow...

How I imagine Treasure Hoard playing is summed up as:
1. Get "Sunken Treasure Hoard" out ASAP
2. Mill either players cards to get a lot of Treasure Counters
3. Special Summon a bunch of strong monsters quickly using the Treasure Counters.

I'm not super knowledgeable about the game, so I'm having a hard time giving my cards strong effects lol. I'm trying though, and I appreciate the input.

This should give you an idea on how to craft your cards to be better.

Work on a gimmick, find ways to support that gimmick.

Don't worry too much about balance, it's custom cards, everyone is going to have broken cards.
