Yeah, a lot of people were telling me that it's possible to make a deck that supposedly "is competitive and carries a unique, interesting gimmick at the same time," and to my knowledge, NONE of them actually tried to make a deck that can win duels AND be gimmicky at the same time.

[parhelia_0000]

So, without further ado, here's my deck profile for the pure Xenomorph's (December 2020 format at the time of posting this). Link is provided here: https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=5515001



So the beauty of this pure variant is that thanks to Facehugger's ability to equip to an opponent's monster, as well as Tribute to the Xenomorph that allows you to revive an opponent's monster to your side of the field, you can afford to go second if you want to. However, should you prefer to go first instead, you can still pull off an immense combo that'll be sure to lock down your opponent from being able to break through your defenses. So, in a way, this deck is extremely versatile at going either first or second.

Fusion Recycling Plant is my own personal tech considering I main 3 Poly's, as it allows me to search for Poly's faster should I not have the Hive of the Xenomorph in my hand already, and it's also a nice Set Rotation target as well.

I think Mystic Mine decks are pretty gimmicky since they stop the player who has more monsters on the field from using monsters, but they also win fairly consistently.

I was mentioning custom decks, NOT TCG decks.

Broken like your brain as always Mr. "Stop Having Fun" Guy. Much like that failure CM, you just want to keep playing with fire & get burn. It is just another Arkraider. You got the same every ED methods, "If this card is Summoned:...", one-sided floodgate & etc. This is lame! Not only are you still competing with Konami how to get your archetypes banned, but you are also fighting CM in the position of "same old same old Archetype custom card maker". You are a mirror reflection of CM.

Don't diss my friend bro, Trust me, He will make them nerfed like always right parhelia_0000?

[Levionia]

uninteresting and unoriginal, i already made a xenomorph deck but tackled it by incorporating the "treated as" mechanic for naming conventions in a deck, not only did i pull from aliens itself, i also gave it its own unique identity and playstyle within the game which you, and most of the other slack-jawed custom card creators fail to do. Straight ripping a property into yugioh is not just boring and lazy, it persists the stereotypes of on other card creators.

Nerf?! Perish such thoughts james123. I only said that to those who have a chance of redemption. I mean what I said to both CM & Parhelia in my previous comments. GET LOSE YOU TWO MIRROR REFLECTIONS!!!

Holy heck, Levionia, Your critic can be harsh too.
Also one thing: Alien deck already exist in TCG. You know, the one with the A-Counter.

Although I would like to said you maybe know how to make an archetype, but any proof of your "xenomorph" deck? Are they public? Any decklist? You can post it as a new thread instead of here. But be warned, I'm lurking in the shadows.

[KTeknis]

A lot of us Custom Card Maker doesn't really care much about winning the duel. We're mostly just care about the card itself.
We're more satisfied when others appreciate our cards, and seeing other people's ideas in their cards.
That's why a working gimmick is more important to us than deck competitiveness. An interesting deck is more fun to play with and play against than a meta clone or another VFD clone.
After all, this is a Custom Card Format. Winning a duel there feels nothing, especially with those Insta-Win cards. The duel itself is sometimes more important than winning.

However, if you find that the only way to have fun is to win, then there's nothing I can do to stop you. However I need to warn you that this kind of mentality isn't a good one for making cards.

[parhelia_0000]

You know, I was almost gonna take constructive criticisms into account, but after seeing how Rocket2 constantly attacks me by calling me a "mirror reflection of CM," I don't think I'm gonna be nerfing my cards anytime soon. The more people just outright rage at me, the more I feel inclined towards sticking with my winning decks.

At the VERY LEAST, people could just try giving this deck a chance. But no, they have to just automatically bash at me for calling it a clone of other decks and whatnot. Well, if that's how custom card community is going to bash those who just want to play customs the way they want to, I'll just let them rage more and more while I continue on my way. To me, winning duels is much more satisfying. Just ask players like Patrick Hoban or Jeff Jones. You think they got famous after losing duels? No. They get famous for winning duels.

As a famous man once said, "losers don't write history, winners do."

[Rocket2]

Said what you wanted, you sore loser. I don't expected any redemption or open-mind from you. Many archetypes (from custom to real printed) only take 2-5 cards to know whether they are a badly designed one or not. And don't bring in real yugioh winners to defend your broken custom cards. Your custom cards won't made history in real TCG. You want to win, then go out there and made a name for yourself like those heroes you worshipped. Your custom wins are nothing but an empty farts like CM.

[parhelia_0000]

It's "make," not "made." Also, it's "empty farts" or "an empty fart," not "an empty farts." Learn to use grammar, or perhaps are you one of those who skipped high school just so you don't have to study English?

Your first impression to Rocket2 is so bad for him that he seems to be no longer have trust it you. As harsh as his critic is, there's some right to it. However since you responded with anger and your response to others imply you won't be listening to critics, he no longer have the need to see your deck in more detail.

But tell me. What do you wish to gain from winning a Custom Card Duel? Do you get ratings? Do you get famous? Do you get to write history?

[greg503]

IDK tell people you play that you're using a "stronger than 2021 TCG deck"
