Some One-off Cards:

Post #1 by Saraak » Mon Mar 08, 2021 1:24 pm

Some one-off cards that I made prior to making my aggregate thread, but felt that they deserved a place for people to criticize them. I will also likely post more one-off cards in this thread.

Barrier Statue of the Ancients - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2210027
Art Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vVZrv
Short Description: I just wanted to make a fusion of all the Barrier Statue cards. Is it busted? Definitely. Is someone going to summon it turn 1? I'd love to see them try. This thing is pretty busted, but you literally need 6 Barrier Statues with different names, which is all of them.

Gate Guardian Construction - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2210269
Art Source: https://www.deviantart.com/andytantowibelzark/art/Gate-Guardian-596983367
Short Description: This was made during the competition that Dzeef and DuelLogs posted to make support for Gate Guardian, but I was too late to think of a card to submit. This is pretty much what I came up with, and I honestly think it's pretty good. Probably deserves a nerf though. Not too sure.

Abyssal Marine, Pyua - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2214342
Abyssal Vulcan, Aqro - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2214343
Art Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GQWDa
Short Description: This is pretty much just came to my mind when I was watching a series by TeamSamuraiX1 called the Wheel of Yugioh, then I learned there were basically no monsters for FIRE Aqua or WATER Pyro, so I made them. Summoning them will be pretty hard, but I think Chemicritters can get them out consistently, probably.

Fantasy World of Dreams - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2214473
Art Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oOd05w
Short Description: I simply wanted to Isekai some monsters (send them to another world). This could work as disruption, but it can also backfire by allowing that banished monster to return with 1500 more ATK/DEF. Frankly, I have no idea how to use it effectively.

Everything else is well done but for Barrier Statue of Ancients, Why? Just, why?

-Barrier statue: So... You Cyber-Stein it first turn, maybe set a counter trap or something, and the opponent loses the duel. Well, I suppose it's not all that different from Fossil Dyna, it just removes the need for moon mirror shield. Edit: Frankly the text could just be "Neither player can Special Summon monsters." Doubt the Egyptian Gods come up often enough for the attribute thing to matter, and it is just wasted space.

-Gate Guardian Construction: Opponent's End Phase activation, you get three link materials, and since this can special from the GY too, the only way to get dead draws is if you actually draw them. Frankly it's a better Scapegoat, which is currently limited for the exact same reasons. This one even gets you effect monsters so you don't have to waste extra deck space for mini-links for no reason.

-Abyssal twins: Setting aside that I am really against fusions that do not bother with poly or equivalents, getting 2 fusions monsters off just 2 monsters is definitely abusable somehow.

-Fantasy world: Not sure why this needs an opt on activation, it's basically a worse Future Visions. It's unlikely to bother the opponent much by design (since the monsters they play right after you activate this won't have fantasy counters on them), so I can only assume it would be used for your own monsters, with a deck like Shiranui or Thunder Dragons, but it is still slow.

I forgot about that thing. I can fix that by adding a maintenance cost to it during the End Phase (banishing 1 Barrier Statue monster), as well as requiring it to be Fusion Summoned, which Cyber-Stein doesn't do. Honestly astounded that I missed this.

Ah, didn't see that it could be used that way. I can fix this by making this a normal spell instead of a quick-play, so that you can only use it during your turn. I didn't add a negate to the 3 Special Summoned monsters because their effects aren't that good.

True, so I'll try to add some anti-abusing by adding a clause to them.

You're right that it's slow and that the HOPT doesn't do anything. I'll remove the HOPT and change how the Fantasy Counters are placed, which will be when a monster is summoned.

Honestly? I just thought something like it should exist, but be absurdly hard to summon. The original design of the card, I admit, wasn't hard to summon with Cyber-Stein, but that should be fixed now. However, I do think that if you play Dangers and Necroid Fusion, you can Fusion Summon it near turn 1 but it will die without Barrier Status in the GY as upkeep (which is more a testament to how broken Dangers are, but still warrants a nerf). I'll try and reduce its ATK/DEF to 2500.

I only made one new One-off, and it isn't much to write home about. I just wanted "Polymerization" spells to be searchable in some way. The original version could search Super Polymerization, so I made it only allow Normal Spells to be added, which excludes Super Poly.

The Fusion Sage - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2236725
Art Source: https://mattforsyth.artstation.com/projects/krOZy

I'll try to make a few more tomorrow.

So basically a searcher for Super Poly, Ultra Poly and Greater Poly. Eh, I guess it's fine. Not a fan of the name though.

Edit: Also the following already exist:
-Keeper of Dragon Magic
-Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra
-Predaplant Verte Anaconda
-Supreme King Gate Zero
-Synchro Fusionist

All of these can search the Poly spells.

Here are the few One-Offs I promised (checks date) five days ago. The card art mostly comes from Danbooru.

Also, The Fusion Sage cannot search Super Poly, because that's a Quick-play Spell, but now that you mentioned there are several that do, I might as well remove the Normal Spell restriction (If searching Super Poly is that common).

Reviled Turu-Purun - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2303900
Art Source - https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4461010?q=duel_monster (Not a SFW site)
Short Description - I honestly just came across this art for Turu-Purun, a highly obscure Normal monster, so I thought that using it in some way was a good idea. I didn't know what I wanted it to do, but it ended up being a play starter and a disruption if you choose to keep it on the field.

Stardust Grail - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2303775
Art Source - https://www.zerochan.net/3264108 (I used color replacer to swap the colors around, to mediocre effect)
Short Description - I kind of wanted to create a bridge for Rose Dragons and Stardust monsters, so it ended up being this. I'm aware that Stardust Trail is basically an homage to Akiza already, but that was purely for aesthetics. Stardust Grail can prevent Black Rose Dragon from being destroyed by its own effect (by chaining the eff) and give Stardust an additional card to destroy when it uses its own effect.

Misfortune of the Possessed - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2303822
Art Source - https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4112327?q=duel_monster+monster (Not a SFW site)
Short Description - Summoning the Charmer monsters in a purely Charmer deck felt a bit too hard, so I added one that only Special Summons Charmers Flip monsters from the Deck. It has a secondary GY effect that changes the Attribute of all face-up monsters until the end of the turn (VFD Flashbacks), but that's mainly just to use the vanilla Chamer's steal effect, and hopefully, you'll be able to Link summon a Charmer the next turn. Fairly simple in concept, hopefully not busted in some FTK.

Alternate Silent Magician - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2303866
Art Source - https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2476074?q=duel_monster+silent_magician (Not a SFW site)
Short Description - Playing a pure Silent Magician/Swordsman Deck is sort of tricky. Getting the boss monster(s) out is manageable in one or two turns, but protecting it from monster effects isn't. So I added one way for monster protection, in the form of destroying the Special Summoned Monster as soon as it's summoned, but getting this card out requires having Silent Magician LV8 on the field. It also floats into another Silent Magician/Swordsman if it gets discarded/destroyed.

I also have a Tzolkin-esque Synchro Monster, but I couldn't find card art to complement it. Warning for really shitty card art.

Five-Headed Signer Dragon - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2303796
Art Source - A Yugioh 5ds Episode Screenshot that I edited, but IDK which Episode
Short Description - Basically a way to out Synchro Dragon Decks, not that it was needed, but that was what the card ended up becoming. I originally intended for it to be a fusion of all the Five Signer dragons, but somehow nobody drew that yet. The card has a hard-to-complete summoning requirement. I know that this thing seems to be outed very easily, but it is a very sticky monster that potentially summons you a new board of Dragon Synchros, if it lives long enough. EDIT: I've added a clause to his first summoning restriction that doesn't prevent itself from summoning itself from the GY. An oversight, I'll admit to not noticing.

This one prevents himself from reviving, since it says, that it must be summoned sending 5 level 7 or higher, and cannot be summoned in any other way.

And one last one-off for the month, because I felt like it.

Slumbering Necromancer - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2306516
Art Source - https://www.zerochan.net/1116952
Short Description - It doesn't do much if you don't actually run any of the Ghost Girls (Ash Blossom and etc), because it relies on them to get itself on the field. It doesn't have a Quick Effect on its second effect, mostly because that's additional disruption and I think it wouldn't be well-received. Good, probably, but a bit abusable. If you run Zombie World, then this card will end up being a problem for your opponent (if you somehow get it on the field).

EDIT: I've reworked the card because I felt unhappy with its effects. I've buffed it so that it requires any Zombie monster to effect to resolve to Special Summon itself. It heavily requires another zombie monster to activate (much easier with Zombie World) to get itself onto the field by its own effect, which also gives you a Zombie from your GY (which is now negated and banishes itself if it leaves the field). This is important because her effect, based on the way I worded it, tributes any Zombie monster as a cost for its effect ATK gain. This is the main reason to use it. When paired with Zombie world it's a Kaiju on legs (a Single-target tribute for cost). However, I've also nerfed it so that it can only use its second effect once while on the field.

Thanks, I've fixed that.

And it's about time I make some cards for this month.

Resonator Drake - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2331453
Art Source: https://hipwallpaper.com/view/eIxqtu
Short Description: Quite simply, an extender for Resonators, as I felt that current Resonator Decks needed a little more. Just a personal card. I might rework it in the future because it doesn't feel right somehow.

Pitch Blackwing Feather Dragon- https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2334629
Art Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/96f7tz/draw_the_most_special_designed_dragon_i_think/ (I used a color replacer)
Short Description: Yeah, normal Black-winged Dragon sucks. I just wanted to release a thematic upgrade to it, similar to Blood Rose Dragon. It's a much more defensive version of the dragon. Summoning it is essentially a choice between a Towers or having more negates for later. Also, it works with Blackwing cards, as it should have always done.

Myurel, the Machine Meister - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2337797
Art Source: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3465387?q=narumiko_busa
Short Description: Looks boring and it is boring. I just saw a cool piece of art on Danbooru and thought instantly that I wanted to make a card for it. The result here is from word vomiting until something stuck. Think of it as unsearchable Machine Fusion support.

And two cards that have surely been done before, but I wanted to make them nonetheless. (Also they look funny and cursed)

Slifer the Sky Dragon - Ring Mode - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2355743
Art Source: None, Photoshopped.
Short Description:I just liked the idea of a Slifer that looked kinda weird. Yeah, it looks cursed, but I feel like its a thematic form for Slifer, and also serves as a nuke to all monsters with 2000 or less ATK. Not as specific as Ra Sphere mode, but gets the job done. It also makes the Slifer it summons a bigger beat stick.

Obelisk the Tormentor - Tower Mode - https://www.duelingbook.com/card?id=2356099
Art Source: None, Photoshopped.
Short Description:A bit more challenging to make than Slifer, because it's theme is tribute 2 to destroy 2. I made it tribute monsters that has ATK added up to 4000, instead of three flat tributes like Ra. It's a bit weaker as a result, because you can only get rid of certain cards. However, it also summons 2 Tokens for each side on summon, meant to be used for Obelisk's effect. Those tokens also can't be used for anything but Tribute Material (Kaiju's/SphereMode/Rituals), so you don't accidentally give your opponent something to combo off from

I know you haven't understood the concept of Fanmade and custom card. Fanmade is not considered a 100% custom card. If you think a Fanmade card is 100% Custom, you have made a huge mistake.

Very well then. As I am a human being capable of making mistakes, could you enlighten me on the difference? As far as I know, Custom Cards are all made by fans, thus fan-made. The only way that this would be false is if that you are not a fan of the game, in which case, why would you make custom cards for a game you don't even like? Do you simply mean that Custom Cards (in your eyes) shouldn't be related to existing cards, or Custom Cards should remain separate from Real Cards? I'm genuinely confused.

Here is badly wrong: fanmade cards are fanmade if it's from the original anime yugioh (example Vrains). I have been creating original custom cards since 2007 in Italy (in fact, I am the italian cardmaker pioneer).
I only want 100% original custom (No DBZ and existing Anime / Manga).
