CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 4:22 pm

Ever looked at this game and think that you could design cards much more balanced, much more interesting? Get no recognition for your hard work creating cards? Want to prove to everybody that you have what it takes?

Then look no further!

Industrial Illusions welcomes all students to the Duel Academy Card Genesis Competition!

------------------------------------------------

In this tournament of the wits, you will be asked to create a set of cards for a specific set of criteria that will change each week,

Rules:

1) Only one submission per user, so make it count!

2) Written cards are accepted alongside card images.

3) If submitting card images, make sure to also post the written effect, as to make it easier for judges to read.

4) Please try to use decent grammar when writing cards, this won't be strictly enforced, as we are aware that English is not everybody's native language, but please don't be simply lazy with it. Problem solving card text is also very helpful in understanding a card, see the following link: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Problem-Solving_Card_Text

5) You may edit your cards up until the deadline of the competition

6) Please make sure to read the judging criteria for this event, it is rather important.

7) No copy-pasting the effects of existing cards, make it interesting people...

Theme: Create your own archetype! No other criteria besides that, so have some fun with it!

Deadline: Sunday the 28th of August

Prizes:

Winner: 1500 DP + A place for your submission in the genesis competition archive

Runner-Up: 750 DP

Judging Criteria:

Naturally, it is of the utmost importance that we have a set of criteria to determine the best of the pack!

1) Balance: This determines how well you have designed the card, whether it isn't over/under-powered in general and whether or not the card is playable. Basically, don't go overboard!

2) Contest Criteria: This determines how well you have adhered to the contest criteria. For example, if you have been asked to support the FIRE attribute, you need to support them in a meaningful way, not just create a FIRE monster with a random effect tacked on.

3) Originality: Whilst you don't need to make a card something nobody has ever been seen before, it shows some nice creative thinking when you can create a set of cards that aren't simply bland generic effects pasted onto cards (The generic searcher, the graveyard reviver, the one that mills etc... Basically, what Tellars where as an archetype)

Card Generators:

I know you said 8 cards, but just for information can we present more then 8? I have an archetype I've always wanted to create and for me 8 cards might not be enough. You can judge only 8 of them tho.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 8:17 pm

I'll probably remove the limit altogether, in retrospect it makes more sense for people to have a bit more free reign here,

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 8:19 pm

This is going to be a bit difficult for me. I usually do better with a base. I've had a couple of ideas for archetypes in the past, but I've never ended up liking them.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 8:26 pm

Well, I do intend these to be a bit of a challenge

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 8:48 pm

Spoiler :

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 14, 2016 8:50 pm

My entry is quite old id just like to point out so fair chance it wont meet all the criteria, but just thought it would be nice to post them, like i said made them a long times ago, full of my classic typo's aswell lol oh well, will see Smile

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstMon Aug 15, 2016 3:05 am

Are we allowed to relate our archetype to existing cards, assuming the existing cards are not already part of an archetype?

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstMon Aug 15, 2016 12:37 pm

Sure, go ahead.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstMon Aug 22, 2016 11:16 pm

Bumping this...

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstTue Aug 23, 2016 12:28 am

Hey just an opinion, I think you should make the dates shorter for the next one i wanna post on the last day and the wait is too much welp

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstTue Aug 23, 2016 12:49 am

I usually make it a week or so, I just decided to extend it to 2 this time, as I reckoned it was a harder challenge than I usually do.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstTue Aug 23, 2016 1:00 am

I'm glad it's two weeks. I'm still working on mine. I only have seven of my cards done (without images). I still want to make one more monster and one more spell.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstTue Aug 23, 2016 1:35 am

Welp It's probably resoanoble, it's just 2 weeks seem so much when it's summer...I've made lots of cards for my archetype, tho still making more and then deciding witch to use lel

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 28, 2016 3:58 pm

Finally got mine finished, though posting may take a while.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 28, 2016 4:03 pm

I have a request, mine are finished, tho I'm having some problems with my computer atm, so I probably won't be able to post them today. I will however try my best to do it tomorrow, if it won't be a big problem...

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstSun Aug 28, 2016 5:58 pm

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstMon Aug 29, 2016 6:18 pm

So just a couple of things about my cards.

Firstly I had some more spells and traps but for some reason i can't find them and I'm not really into making them again, so I hope this wont be too much of a problem (I might end up doing them, if i have the chance welp). I have more monster, tho i think they are unneeded to show my idea of the archetype.

Admittedly I think it turned out too strong, but the general idea is that you can play the deck in a lot of different ways. You can have a monster spam and utility version where you try to maximise on the amount of xyz and synchros (Later on Fusions as well) to establish a good OTK board. There could also be a version where you can try and bring one of the big gods (Poseidon, Zeus and Hades) ((Or all 3 if you can)) to get an almost unbeatable deck and that is where you might think the deck is overpowered, but you do need a lot of resources to get one of those gods on the field. Obviously the cards may have some flaws (Like not putting a "You can only use the effect/s of ...... once per turn").

The deck ultimately tries to combine all of my favorite ways of playing in Yu-Gi-Oh.

@SilentKatana, do you know when the judging for this will be finished?

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstThu Oct 06, 2016 3:20 pm

Woah since august lol

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstWed Apr 05, 2017 4:17 pm

Alright, finally got round to finishing this thing off, totally didn't take me nearly a year or anything, shut up >.>

1st Place goes to @DanelerH. I really, honestly love the thought that went into this, including the themes from Panik's deck, the interaction with the old Yami Field spell, and the general interplay between each monster. It's really very nicely done. Only tiny gripe I have is that the field spell itself does nothing negative to Fairy-Type monsters, which thematically I find, should have been the case. It's a tiny gripe though, and Deity really is an excellent Boss for the Archetype.

I'll give the runner-up spot to @Kangaroo-Jolty on the basis that it's quite a charming fun archetype, even if it feels a tad scattered/underpowered archetype.

Pepchoninga your archetype could do with several power debuffs, as there's a lot that needs to be fixed balance wise within the archetype, looping with 2 Achilles, the mass power the Gods have (Parts of the deck really do feel reminiscent of SatellarKnights, the deck even has it's own version of Triverr)

Username, you seem to be missing some vital S/T support for the deck, it feels a tad unfinished as is.

Alright Mods, @CrimsonOverlord @PowerNova etc....Award and lock this ancient husk of a thread please xD

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstWed Apr 05, 2017 6:03 pm

Didn't even know this thing was still active or I would have posted mine.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstWed Apr 05, 2017 7:01 pm

That's possibly because It technically finished last september xD

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstWed Apr 05, 2017 9:50 pm

Winner: 1500 DP + A place for your submission in the genesis competition archive
Runner-Up: 750 DP

Clarify the Genesis Competition Archive as I have no knowledge of it. You can pm me here or on discord @SilentKatana I'll close and award afterwards if no one else will.

Re: CGC #4 - Archetype BurstWed Apr 05, 2017 9:55 pm

Oooh, right, it's a thread I hosted, I can update that one, since it's basically just a hall of fame-type deal.

Get your game on!
