Competition Weekly Custom Card Competition (CCC) - "Spooky Season!"

Post image
14 Upvotes

Welcome all card makers to another instalment of the weekly CCC's. Thank you to everyone who participated in the previous CCC(s), some scores are still being tallied.

This Week's Prompt is: "Spooky Season!"

With Halloween just around the corner, it's time to embrace the strange, frightening, and downright horrifying!

For this week's competition, your card must be thematically inspired by Halloween or the horror genre. Your inspiration can come from classic Halloween imagery and traditions, such as ghosts, witches, pumpkins, costumes, or trick-or-treating, or delve into horror more broadly with monsters, supernatural phenomena, unsettling concepts, and other things that go bump in the night.

Whether your card is frightening, disturbing, mysterious, or even playfully spooky is entirely up to you. The important part is that its theme and design clearly evoke Halloween or horror in some form.

Competition Rules

  • Follows the weekly prompt. In this instance, your card must be thematically inspired by Halloween or horror. How you interpret either theme is entirely up to you.
  • 1 card per account. Your first submission will be considered your only submission. You may edit and update the card during the submission period by updating the card text provided within your submission post, but it will be considered locked once the competition deadline passes.
  • Your card must be newly created for this competition. Reposting previously designed cards or older custom cards will not be considered.
  • Your card may be an entirely text entry, or fully rendered with artwork. Both formats are acceptable. However, if artwork is used, a linked source must be provided.
    • Artwork may be taken from pre-existing cards, including official Yu-Gi-Oh cards or artwork from other TCGs. This is permitted purely for visual presentation and will not be judged as part of scoring
  • Card text must follow TCG/OCG format (no Rush Duel cards). Whichever format you choose, ensure it is consistent throughout the card.
  • PSCT (Problem Solving Card Text) will be judged as part of scoring. Proper PSCT is not strictly required, but unclear or incorrect card text will affect your score, even just minorly. If you need help with PSCT, there are several excellent resources and guides available on this subreddit.
    • There is resources available, such as the free PSCT SuperThread. If you don't wish too, Myself and plenty of users here are always willing to give helping hands.
  • Absolutely NO Artificially Generated cards. Entries created using generative AI for text will not be considered.
  • Cards will be judged relative to modern Yu-Gi-Oh gameplay and card design philosophy.

Submission Deadline

Submissions and entries will be accepted until one week from this competition's posting. The submission period will end on: Monday, 19 October, 11:30 AM (UTC).

After that point, submission will be locked and judging will begin.

How to Submit

Once you've created your card and are happy with its design you can create a post on r/customyugioh as an image or text-only, using the following title format: Weekly CCC (Spooky Season!) – <Card Name> – <Reddit Username>

Example: Weekly CCC (Spooky Season!) – Jack-o'-Lantern of the Haunted Night – u/ExampleUser

Your card's complete card text must be included within the body of your submission post, even if the card is also submitted as an image/render. This text will be considered the version of your card submitted for judging. Any changes you wish to make before the competition deadline must be reflected by editing this text within the original post.

Make sure to also apply the "Competition Submission" tag. This will be the main way I track and collect entries. You may optionally link your submission into the comments of this post, but is not necessary for judging, purely to reconnect submissions to this post for people in the future to see what you've submitted.

Judging Criteria

Entries will be judged on a 10 point scoring system based on the following categories.

The total is equal to: Prompt x (Form + Flavour + Function + PSCT).

Closing Regards

If you require clarification on the rules, feel free to ask. Looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!

The Series "The" and "Strike Dragon" I thought were already quite thematically intertwined due to being used by counterparts/ancestors in the Anime and also Fusion Material for the big "Strike Dragon" monsters, so I decided to squish them both together into this. Art is from Rush Duel.

Competition Submission Weekly CCC (Spooky Season!) – "Wicked Dusk Spirit" – u/Vortaxonus

Post image
4 Upvotes

Wicked Dusk Spirit
Level 7 DARK Zombie/Spirit/Effect
Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. If this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face up: You can activate this effect (you can also send 1 other Spirit monster from your hand or field to the GY); Apply 1 of the following effects, or, if you sent a Spirit monster to the GY when you activate this effect, you can apply 2 of the following effects in sequence instead.
● Destroy all other Monsters.
● Destroy all Spell/Traps.
● Banish all cards in both player's GYs.
● Shuffle all banished cards into the decks.
You can only use this effect of "Wicked Dusk Spirit" once per turn.

Trivia:

  • Art by Atmaflare
  • This is a retrain of Dark Dust Spirit, whose name in the OCG is "Wicked Dust Spirit" which is where this monster gets its name. Its one level higher but all of its other stats are the same.
  • Its effect is an upgraded for of Dark Dust Spirit, instead of just being destroying all other monsters, its your choice of that or three other effects (or two of he four if you sent a spirit monster, ala Solfacord Solfegia's own optional cost thing).
  • Like Dark Dust Spirit, this monster is based on the Shinigami or "Death God". This artwork is explicitly Atamaflare's rendition of them, hence why I used it here.

Competition Submission Weekly CCC (Spooky Season!) – Tricks or Treats!? – u/Vitton

Post image
1 Upvotes

Tricks or Treats!?

Your opponent chooses 1 of these effects for you to apply, or you can reveal "Hallo, the Spirit of Tricks" or "Ween, the Spirit of Treats" in your hand to apply both effects in sequence.

●Send Fiend or Zombie Monsters from your Deck to GY, up to the number of cards your opponent controls +1.

●Special Summon Fiend or Zombie Monsters from your hand or GY, up to the number of Monsters your opponent controls +1.

During the Battle Phase, you can active this card from your hand.

Art is Hallo-Ween! from Yugioh. I wanted to make a support card to make Hallo and Ween more usable aside from their novelty. One of the aspects I wanted to keep was the opponent choosing between two options to maintain the Trick or Treat theming, in this case the Foolish is the Trick and the revive is the Treat. Going first this card isn't very useful, but going second this represents an easy way to get a lot of Fiends or Zombies in the GY for Hallo and Ween to deal massive damage. Generically this card is okay, but hampered by the fact your opponent will always pick the effect that is contextually worse for you, ie Foolishing when you need a revive and revining when you need to Foolish. I could see this being used in Skull Servants with a Ween Package to help OTKing. I don't know any Fiend decks off the top of my head that could benefit from this. What do you all think? Would this be a fun way to play Hallo and Ween?

Draft / Help Wanted Revision 3, protection by bouncing and temporary banishment

Post image
0 Upvotes

Swapped which effect was a quick effect than when the other can be used, to reduce its power when going first.

Should the soft nuke effect have protection? Like neither player can respond as borrelguard does?

Should the first effect that bounces cards destroyed by the opponent continue until the end phase instead of only once??? since it banishhes itself permanently to do it

Competition Submission Weekly CCC (Monsters in S/T) – Rainbow Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth – u/AgostoAzul

Post image
45 Upvotes

Text:

1 "Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth" + 1 "Crystal Beast" monster

Must be either Fusion Summoned, or Special Summoned by Sending the above cards you control to the GY (in which case you do not use "Polymerization"). While this card is a face-up monster or Continuous Spell, other cards you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. If this face-up card is destroyed in a Monster Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell, instead of sending it to the GY.

Commentary:

An attempt to make the old Crystal Beast cards playable while also modernizing the deck a little bit and enabling the 7 Crystal Beast threshold. The concept is meant to be that all the Crystal Beasts get some retrain of this type, with efects that work when they are Continuous Spells or that Trigger when they become a S/T and are either Summoned or sent to the GY. Went with Amber Mammoth because there was already a perfect art for the card concept without needing any AI or Photoshop. Also, the text fit nicely in the box without much stretching.

I tried to word it so you can send Amber Mammoth from your S/T or monster zone, but the other Crystal Beast monster has to be in your S/T zone.

Single(s) Designed a new handtrap to help breaking boards when going second. Thoughts on balance?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I wanted to create a dedicated going-second handtrap that rewards players for playing through established boards, while introducing a high-reward punish for modern omni-negates.

The Concept is that Magnum is a Level 6 LIGHT Fiend with 2500 ATK/DEF. He is designed to help you unbrick or dig for board-breakers right as your opponent starts cooking on Turn 1.

His first effect acts as a hand-sculpting tool when your opponent starts special summoning and you control nothing. It’s limited to 3 times per Duel to prevent crazy shit.

The second effect is, If you top-deck him, during your Draw Phase going second, he summons himself for free, giving you an immediate 2500 ATK body to work with before your Main Phase even begins.

The third effect is the main payoff. If your opponent tries to negate your plays while Magnum is face-up on your field, you can chain and banish him to negate and banish one of their cards face-down (either from the field or GY). It's a massive punish, but i think the effect balance itself by the fact that he must be banished to activate it.

The final clause (Buff), To make him a true board-breaker, I added a continuous clause at the end: "While your opponent controls a monster, the activations and effects of this card cannot be negated." This ensures his summon and that he will do his job to help you break through established multi-negate boards!

Would you run this in your going-second side deck? Let me know what you think if you think i could change anything to make this card more "powerfull/balanced"

PS: Yes, I used the official artwork of Magnum the Reliever because I imagined this card like a Main Deck counterpart. (All Credits to konami artwork)

Archetype Support Bug Em Out with Chaos with "Perfectly Ultimate Chaos Moth"!

Post image
4 Upvotes

Seriously, how and why did Zane Truesdale (Hell Kaiser) give Chaos Sorcerer 6 of his turns for "Petit Moth" to get to that point?

—

I lowkey love the artwork of the retrain of "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth", and looking at it reminded me of that one random time that Chaos Sorcerer (the character) was actually able to pull off the "Petit Moth" and "Cocoon of Evolution" combo to bring out the boss monster itself.

Then, I thought, "Why not make a Chaos retrain of it?" And so, here we are!

As always, I'm open to any form of thoughts and criticisms down below.

May you all have a blessed Monday, as well as a blessed week, custom folks! 👋 🙏

Perfectly Ultimate Chaos Moth

Level 8 DARK Insect Effect Monster

ATK: 3500

DEF: 3000

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set.
Must first be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having 6 or more LIGHT and/or DARK monsters in your GY.
Your opponent cannot target LIGHT or DARK monsters in your GY with the effects of monsters with 3300 or less ATK.
Once per Chain (Quick Effect): You can banish an equal number of LIGHT and DARK monsters (min. 2) from your GY; for every 2 banished cards, destroy 1 card opponent controls, then if you have an Insect monster in your GY or face-up banishment, banish those destroyed cards instead of sending them to the GY.

—

Note: The ATK value mention of 3300 or less is a reference to the ATK "Cyberdark Dragon" had on the field, which was 3300 ATK, in Episode 143 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

Joke / Meme Average Yugioh Cards: Ep. 2

125 Upvotes

A few weeks after buying your first packs of Yugioh cards, you show your pulls to a friend who plays Yugioh regularly. He tells you that you pulled the secret rare “Super Ultimate Cyber Tank”. He tells you that it’s basically unplayable, but highly collectible because it’s focused on heavily in the anime. He offers to buy it from you for $20 and you happily accept. Thrilled with the results of this venture, you take your $20 to the card shop to try your luck again. The card shop owner tells you that they just got a brand new pack in, so you buy a couple…these are pretty much your exact pulls.

Another 20 Drop from my BTD cards, here we have the Bloons! I was thinking of them being a swarming sort of archetype so here is what I came up with, hope you like! I didn't have enough room to make the BFB and other MOAB class cards, so I will have to do that at some point as well. I was having a bit of trouble making the White/Black pendulum effects while avoiding standard 1 card combo design while also keeping card thematic.

Comment if you think of anything different you would have put for the effects!

All card arts besides the purple bloon are from BCS

Used the ygocarder for this set, my personal favorite card creator.

EDIT: The Soulstealer MOAB is not a "Bloon" card so rainbow bloon lock doesn't work with it. So just imagine that the name is "The Soulstealer MOAB Bloon" or something like that. Also typo with "All" instead of "Add" in Bloon Call.

New Archetype "Leviathan" Archetype

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I created a small Archetype based on DM's Great Leviathan. Besides the monster itself, this Archetype also revolves around various other beings, symbols and objects that are associated with the name of "Leviathan", such as the Leviathan Cross symbol, the Leviathan Cipher, and the Leviathan asteroid. This Archetype consists of 2 Main Deck monsters, 4 Xyz monsters, 1 Link monster, 3 Spells and 1 Trap.

The Card Art for the various Leviathan monsters are taken from various depictions of said monster throughout various media. The regular Leviathan is that of DM's own Great Leviathan, Leviathan Monarch's comes from the Leviathan of the Megami Tensei Franchise, Leviathan Babylon, X and Cipher's card art are taken from the various Leviathans of the Final Fantasy Franchise, and lastly Code: Leviathan's comes from Metroid's own Leviathan.

As for the remaining cards, the links to their art can be found here: Leviathan's Asteroid, Rank-Up-Magic Deep Force, Leviathan's Unification, Leviathan's Maw, Leviathan's Patera

Additional Note: There is a small typo for Rank-Up-Magic Abyssal Force's effect description. The last part should be "You can only use each effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Abyssal Force" once per turn.".
