now im not gonna lie, i have made some really powerful cards myself (its why i have been asking for help balancing as of late) but its the insta wins, imo, that ruin the fun of customs. from my experince, most custom players use spam summon with no cost or downside. me? i tend to add in the following costs or downsides to any monster that has a SS upon NS effect:
- requires me to pay 500 to 750 LP
- forbids me from summoning other cards not of the same type. for example i have a card called phelo secret crest, she basically requires 500 lp upon her summon to ss a level 4 beast-warrior from my hand, then i cant summon anything but beast-warriors for the remainder of the turn.
(This is excluding my paladin deck as i made this to give FREE spam summoners a taste of their own medicine)
due to the limitless amount of FREE spam summon i see in customs, its one of the reasons i have a 1 turn stun in most of my decks that makes it so u have to wait till your next turn to be able to activate/resolve a summoned monsters effect (unless it costs you a min of 500 LP and restricts what ur allowed to summon) and forbids it from attacking till next turn.
but nothing, imo, compares to the people who make cards made to counter specific players. like theres no point. if u dont like the player: block them and move on. no need to make a card designed to counter specificly named player(s) entirely.
heres my denied card in case ur interested: https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=568850
My issues with your customs outside of PSCT, is the way you play or the way you think the game should be, with your 50 billion rules that you have been known to change on the fly. If you broke out of that all that bullshit, then I would be more tolerant of your custom cards.
Also, I hate the "anti" or "deny" cards that people shove into their extra deck, because at that point, you're wasting my time, because I rather my opponent to have a tiny bit of faith in that I would have SOME integrity. I straight up leave when that shit happens, even when my decks didn't fall under those conditions. ESPECIALLY when it puts my opponent at a disadvantage in terms of an actual extra deck.
