Mirage Mirror Force
Normal Trap
You can only use the [2] effect of this card once per turn.
[1] When your opponent's monster declares an attack: Special Summon 1 Illusion monster from your hand or GY, and if you do, return the attacking monster to the hand.
[2] If your face-up Illusion monster leaves the field by your opponent's effect while this card is in the GY: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Illusion monster from your hand of GY.

The best advice I can give you is to put the card in a nice sleeve and find a good place to display it. It is no playable value to it. It's a bad ritual monster that is only treated as every type and doesn't further an existing core's plan. Even then you have to find a consistent way to make her , you'll dedicate more resources in the deck to force her to be played then it's worth when you could rather dedicate all of those slots to anything else even battle ticks and it would work better.

'>>92570119
Best I can think of is a Charmer strategy, whose structure deck includes one of Doriado's retrains. Awakening of the Possessed boosts your monsters' stats based on the number of different attributes on the field. You go for unga bungoid beatdown, which is probably the best that you can do for her since there's not many other decks that give a fart about having different attributes on the field.

This is a very "new player" mentality to have about it and that's fine if you've never seen it before but it comes down to an understanding of card advantage for the most part. This post >>92575310 is on the right track but to explain it so you can learn.
You're basically pitching 2 semi specific cards in order to preform the pendulum summon and even if the pendulum effects get you advantage it likely isn't high quality enough. If you don't find another scale to pair to make a decent range of levels then you're screwed. Any spell/traps and possibly handtraps also detract from how much potential you'll get from the once per turn pend summon.
While it might seem obvious to play some kind of searcher cards, rather than playing to a bad mechanic you could just be playing a deck that doesn't need to lose those 2 cards for scales in order to summon themselves.

IE if you had a decent modern starting hand of 2 handtraps/board breakers and 3 engine pieces in a normal deck you're likely going off. But in a pendulum deck you have to hope those 3 engine cards are of the correct scale values and summonable and then for that 1 card to get you enough advantage to go off. Also risking a single piece of interaction stopping the one.

There's also the issue that you can negate and/or destroy the scales with regular s/t hate or negates. Which also completely disables you.';

'I've got three 2022 Megatins, how well did I do?';

'So, one of the concerns I picked up on from the other day were with the LP costs that I added to a bunch of spells/traps, potentially out of malice for them, so here's some clarification on the idea behind the decision. One of the goals was to take costless spells/traps and add standardized costs to them, meaning that they will always be assigned a 1000, 2000 or 4000 LP cost, depending on how strong I think the effect is, with cards already having costs keeping their original ones or something close to it. One of the reasons I do this is to allow for cards that already do similar things to each other (like "Pay 1000 LP; destroy 1 card" and "Discard 1 cards; destroy 1 card") to stand out from each other a bit more without making one or the other strictly better or worse in most situations. Another really big reason was to give value to life gain cards like pic related, as I really want to play in a Yugioh environment where life gain is both useful and fun. Now, the way I decided to balance these life gain cards was to give them all the same 3-card self-mill cost (only if they were previously costless), so that they double as powerful deck thinning, since I'm convinced that a card that does nothing, but gain life by itself will be undesirable unless maybe it puts out even more ridiculous numbers than these do. The other idea with this, is if you use them too much, you'll put yourself at risk of decking out, with the hope being that this will naturally keep LP stalling in check.';

There's no point in having a card like Raigeki if it ends your turn. It is explicitly designed for the purpose of swinging the game in your favor when you're going second.

'When will we get the purple eyes dragon?';

It is because I view the original Raigeki as a card that was so powerful there was no reason to use any other removal option over it and definitely no reason to ever look at a card like the original Burst Stream of Destruction, save for replacing a now-banned Raigeki. I set out to make Raigeki, Dark Hole, Feather Duster, and similar to be "good enough" cards that don't completely overshadow everything else, which resulted in me trying to make them more obviously defense-oriented by adding the Turn End restriction. I was also trying to capture the draft experience of taking a card that's clearly underpowered in a standard constructed environment and having it be perfectly fine and functional in a sealed environment.';

You already have Raigeki set up with a LP cost while also limiting the cards that it can affect. Just attaching a LP cost to it is sufficient, it is not literally free and gives you space to add lesser removal spells that have more lenient, if not non-existent costs. If you really want to limit its effectiveness, I also outlined how to do that in the previous thread where it's only as powerful as the amount of LP you put into it, only destroying monsters whose Level/etc x1000 is less than or equal to the amount you paid +2000. It would not be able to hit everything, but you'd need to dump 6000 LP just to be able to use it against Blue-Eyes.';

I don't think Raigeki needs to be nerfed at all, but if someone's gonna nerf it then they should do it right.

I get where they're coming from since they wanna give other removal options a place in an environment where they need to contend with Raigeki. To that end, you break down what makes the card good (it is literally free and nukes everything) and figure out how to rein it in (put a cost that deters its haphazard use without removing its original purpose). They also wanted to limit its range of effectiveness, which is why you have the option of paying a lot of LP for a big removal.';

Also, it doesn't take much to make it usable in the current environment. You just keep the original version's effect, and make it so that it can also affect destruction-immune monsters by switching it to a Banish effect if you pay 2000 more LP than their ATK. I'm sure that there's setups that would like the LP modulation, all I know off the top of my head is PEP and Dinomorphia, so it'd slot into those decks pretty easily.';

Right, this would be acceptable if the goal was to just have a single Raigeki-functional card in a fixed card pool, but I'm also designing these remake cards to be spread out across "Booster Sets" that can be cubed together or drafted separately, which dramatically changes the play environment.
>>92583284
>>92583366
So, you guys already know how the Level-Scaling for monsters goes, but I also have a system for scaling the effectiveness of spells and traps that is based on which "Booster Set" in the cycle that the cards appear in. I'm sure you've noticed that all of my "LOB" set spell/trap cards are targeted almost exclusively toward Level/Link/Rank 4 and lower. This is because as the first "Booster Set" in the cycle, it is the "Low Power Set", with the next set in the cycle planned out to have "Middle" ranges and the set after having "High" ranges. I think that this creates an interesting environment where cards change value depending on which set in the cycle they appear in and what context you play them.';

'>>92583861
>but I'm also designing these remake cards to be spread out across "Booster Sets" that can be cubed together or drafted separately, which dramatically changes the play environment.
I don't see the issue. The point of making a card like that is to establish a reference point around which you base other similar removal options. Weaker destruction effects have lesser costs, stronger removal options have greater costs. You tailor your other removal options around that card while distributing them across your "Boosters", where it sits firmly in the middle.';

'>>92583928
For example, my idea is to have Raigeki for Low, and then in a later set maybe Lightning Vortex as "Raigeki 2" for Mid and then maybe Flash of the Forbidden Spell as "Raigeki 3" for High. There are many cards like this scattered about the eras that riff off of a banned card to get their appeal and I want to bring them all together by having each one be a "shard" of the original idea.';

'>>92584017
I still fail to see the problem. The same general design principle goes into establishing a balanced form of Raigeki as your middleground removal option. If you just directly brought in Lightning Vortex with zero changes while Raigeki just has a LP cost to activate it, it would still fit the bill of what you're aiming for.';

'>>92584159
I guess this is where we draw the line between autistic and not, because I'm trying to establish a "hard numbers, with some rare exceptions" system, where Raigeki #1, #2 and #3 do the exact same thing as each other, but scale for example Level/Link/Rank values {1~4}, {5~8} and {9~12}. Super Raigeki kind of throws that out the window by being Level variable and thus undefinable by that system of determining "this is this way, because it appears in this part of the cycle or fits this standard of power assignment". It's something that would be good to make after establishing Raigeki 1, 2 and 3 through rigid design to sell future sets by offering a wider range of removal in a single card, rather than having to run 2 or 3 different cards.';

See, it's confusing to read this, because if you'd explore the card pool, you'd see something like pic related and probably yell at me about it. Where negation effects are designed to always give something back in exchange for the disrupted card, that "something" typically being card draw. In the case of pic related, a negation effect tied to a stronger monster scales with the monster, which is why this guy gives you 5 cards back in exchange for the one, meaning you should only really use this to stop a battle trick on your turn when going for the kill shot.';

'>>92585207
The orginal are still the best imo. Looks so clean. Guess it's good to have a window for the rare card though. Lmao';

'>>92585245
Your Dark Paladin is extremely bad. It's requires 3 cards to summon, (-2), 1 to negate (-3) and gives your opponent FIVE cards, putting them in far ahead in card advantage. If you summon it and your opponent uses some sort of removal on it, its better to let it die than to use its effect. Going -4 is better than going -3 and having your opponent go +4.

>meaning you should only really use this to stop a battle trick on your turn when going for the kill shot.
There's no real reason to play this. In a slow enough game, you can simply bait or force interactions. If your opponent has set cards, you wouldn't blindly overextend. I wouldn't even TRY to summon this if my opponent had 1 set. It don't know your card pool, but in the real game most battle tricks are trap cards, which this does nothing against.

Like I get what you're trying to do, but it feels like you haven't play nearly enough Yugioh to actually balance cards properly. I'm talking about real Yugioh, with actual rules and competently made decks with actual strategies, not playground shit.';

'>>92585405
And I understand that viewpoint coming from someone that plays official main game Yugioh, which leads to the frustrating disconnect, where the card design doesn't make sense, until you experience it in context. You're seeing "why would I waste cards to make this? it dies to removal and only negates spells well on my turn." And I'm seeing "I'm going to have to pull of some shenanigans with Psychic Commander, because this thing's just gonna eat the Hammer Shot and hopefully give me two Wabokus to survive the turn."';

'>>92584906
A good number of people either actively play, or have had some degree of playing legacy formats like GOAT and Reaper, and the ones that have actually played them can attest to how miserable they feel to play through since everything has a slow start and a lot of cards have bad restrictions on them. With only a handful of exceptions, most of the cards you've posted have worse costs, and worse conditions than the ones from those times.

>>92585245
One thing that I can tell is that you don't have a good grasp on how to actually balance out effects like this card's omni-negate. Like the other anon mentioned, there's no real reason to use it. In any era of the game, letting your opponent draw 5 cards is suicide. In the context of that effect, chances are that they'll just draw into whatever card whose activation just got negated, and proceed to activate it again. You would want something closer to Bamboozling Gossip Shadow, Dark Bribe, even Recall, where at most they're drawing 2 cards in exchange for having an effect negated. All of the cards that I listed only let your opponent draw 1 card, but it's a little different when there's a 5100 atk monster on the field.';

Okay, here you go, try it out, see what you think. Instructions and details should all be in the notepad.

Cannot be used as Synchro Material. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 Level 3 "Clown" monster from your Hand or Deck, but negate its effects, also it cannot be used as Synchro Material. Once per turn: You can target 1 "Clown" monster you control; Change its battle position, and if you do, its level becomes 3.

Ringleader Ricky, the Dark Clown
>[Rank 3/DARK/Fiend]
>[ATK 2100/DEF 850]

Once per turn, you can detach 1 material from this card; Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Clown" monster from your Hand or GY. You can pay 1000 LP, then target 1 monster on the field; Change its battle position.

I think that'd be on-brand for cards of that time? Tricky's allergic to Synchro Summoning like a lot of monsters of the time, and Ricky's effect is pretty mundane but could be broken pretty easily with support from future sets.';

Once per turn, you can also Xyz Summon "Ringleader Ricky, the Darkness Carnival", using 1 "Clown" monster you control as material (transfer its materials to this card). Once per turn, if a monster's battle position is changed: You can attach 1 card from either GY or Banishment to this card as material. Once per Chain, when an opponent activates a monster effect (Quick Effect): You can detach 2 materials from this card; Change the battle position of 1 monster on the field, and if you do, that effect becomes "Draw 1 card".

'>>92593612
It's a culmination of things that boils down to "there are better options". The only deck that's going to consistently go into it these days is Branded, and instead of a 1-for-1 targeted destruction, you can do a 1-for-0 non-targeting banish.

That doesn't mean that it's Branded's fault, of course. Most decks just can't conveniently go into Borrel Fury. The ones that are able to will typically have better options within their own decks as well.

'>>92594286
Yes, extremely easy. Problem with Kashtira is how easy the banishes came and the fact that they were effectively permanent in the form of face-down banishes. The general idea is to just not make an obnoxiously oppressive archetype, and optionally to make the banishes (or at least some of them) only temporary.

One thing I'd do with it is a gamble archetype

>Declare 1 card type (Monster, Spell, Trap); Apply the following effects (in sequence):
● Take 3 cards from your Deck or GY (1 Monster, 1 Spell, 1 Trap), then banish them, face-down
● Reveal 1 card amongst your face-down banished cards. If it is the same as the declared type, you can add it to your hand, or if it is a monster, you can Special Summon it instead.

You could probably form an entire archetype around that kind of thing. Maybe something akin to Spyral, where they can generate advantage by correctly guessing the type of face-down banished card they reveal (and use either player's pool of face-down banished cards, of course)';

My main motivations are to let this format become whatever it ends up being, but I just want card design standards in place that regulate how much a card can do and why it can do that. The friction-causing elements like giving your opponent cards for negation or disrupting your turn for a boardwipe stems from my own desire to play a game where I can do very powerful things, but not stop my opponent from playing or lock them out of the game because of it.

Original Sinful Spoils is their gateway into most of their plays since it effectively means you can run 9 copies of Bonfire. Diabellstar's synergy with the deck dies almost instantly if you hit OSS, and it also means that getting fullcombo off of a Poplar search is significantly less consistent since you'd either need to hard-draw into Ash or Bonfire to get it revving. You could also kinda get the job done with Birch, but it's not as lucrative of an option as Ash.

The Synchro plays also take a heavy hit in that case, since Formula Synchron + Flamberge is Dis Pater, who summons back Jet Synchron + another Snake-Eye used for Formula so that you can do Jet + Diabell to go into Omega (which were previously Baronne + Savage respectively)

A different color is allowed and is nice for post game clean up so you don't shuffle an ED guy into the main and then get a game loss for drawing it (assuming regional or higher policy rulings).
It's also nice to give the deck some flavor by having a 2nd color if you like matching the theme. IE I have a Purrely deck and I put the MD in cream colored sleeves and the ED in purple sleeves to match the cats.

You have to buy 2 50ct boxes of sleeves from dragon shield anyway (assuming 40 MD and 15 ED =55), so you might as well.';

'>>92620458
yeah i decided to go with normal dragon shields for the for the main and dual matte sleeves for the extra deck.
curious how i'll like the dual mattes (basically their inside is black regardless of their backside color.)';

'>>92620725
I think they look pretty good in most cases but sadly it is not intended for our game. It's intended for black cardstock games, like MTG, so the boarders blend with the inside of the sleeve. YGO has grey boarders so it doesn't quite work. That said, it's so slim that you might not even notice it.

One thing I will say is that inner sleeves for double sleeved cards contrast more notably on the black which might detract from them if you care about that.';

'>>92620857
i'm not double sleeving so it should be fine.
i was considering it but i didn't find any cardbacks i really liked. if i did i'd use those with transparent outer sleeves.';

'>>92620975
Besides solid colors there really isn't a great many options for fun/art JP size sleeves. DS has an ok selection but none of them appeal to me either. One thing to note is that most official YGO brand sleeves work with DS clear outer sleeves (orange BG with an 'invisible' dragon on it).';

'Sexist card art from the new set. GO!';

That's kind of an inside joke at this point, that I started off calling the format Nerf War because of the first handful of cards I worked on (Raigeki, Pot of Greed, Monster Reborn, etc.) and to rhyme with Turf War, but most of the cards in it are ancient and forgotten packfiller that are getting major glow-ups in playability.
>>92618062
Yes, this is a good idea that makes sense, but that would be more on the creative and experimental side of card design, which I get hung up on pretty easily and spend a lot of time prototyping. The current design method that I'm using is to mostly just adapt the original effects as closely as possible with slight multipliers and modifications, as to not spend too much time dwelling on the specifics and be able to put out something fun and playable much sooner.';

'So this was an interesting problem solving exercise. Edopro doesn't seem to have any methods for checking the original Link-Ratings of cards, which would make writing cards to alter them kind of messy, with boosts and reductions clashing with each other and possibly creating loops. However, thanks to the Level-Scaling system, I'm able to do a work-around effect of checking for a Link monster's original ATK, knowing that it will always fall within a certain stat range at certain Link-Ratings. It's not foolproof, because monsters with ? ATK will be unaffected by these kinds of cards, but I think that creates more intrigue than issues.';

Obviously it had to get banned on account of being too powerful. People talk about Reaper format while Chakra format is only spoken of in hushed whispers.';

Sexiest card in YEARS, and it's baffling because it's a TCG exclusive, i'd expect it from japan, but america? Getting my playsets of this, jungle dweller and multi-universe tomorrow, no idea if they'll be useful in the future, but i like collecting cards with cool/cute/sexy artwork anyway like cursed bride doll, uoohhh ball joints erotic.';

Pack filler usually doesn't get rarity bumps, maybe once it makes its way to the OCG and the japs decide to release support for it, but even like that the best you can hope for is an ultra reprint, and IMO that's a shit rarity (super=secret>rare>shit>every other rarity). This isn't the only SEXO card in LEDE btw, there's also this, aiza (who brings a new mechanic, "derangement" counters which let you destroy monsters she attacks to then inflict damage to both players), the raika lamia, the melodious girls, the snek-eyes witch and the valmonica schizo.';

>Crazy to think old Konami would have covered Pendulum Witch's stomach.
And her armpits, apollousa and masquerena got hit by this shit censorship which made me avoid the cards until they got their alt arts, even though KONMAI used to only cover up legs and breasts. With some luck the new DMG art in this year's tin will get away with no censorship, because that card has it all: bigger tits than usual, very noticeable cleavage, exposed armpits and visible ass cheeks due to the unusual pose. IMO the DSoD art is still sexier.';

>Diebuk the revengebound spirit
>Level 3 DARK Zombie / Effect
>While this card is equipped to an opponent's monster, that monster's effects are negated. If this card leaves the field while equipped to a monster: send that monster to the GY.
You can only use the following effects of "Diebuk the revengebound spirit" once per turn. You can discard this card; add 1 "Revengebound" card from your Deck to your Hand. If this card is in the GY: You can equip this card to a face-up monster on the field. While this card is equipped to a monster: you can (quick effect) special summon 1 Zombie monster from your hand or GY, but you cannot special summon monsters for the rest of this turn except Zombie monsters.

it searches, extends and offers some turn 2 negation/ removal if you equip it to an opponent's monster. Depending on how good the "revengebound" archetype was this could see some play at two or three copies. Then again i'm not too familiar with modern yugioh, going second decks might suck major ass, which is why i gave it a quick effect if you somehow have to equip it to your own monster on turn 1';

well shit, looks like it's time to go back to traptrix, at least the 3 droll and impermanence are useful in that deck';

Incorrect. However, they should take a page from Imperm's playbook and have more benefits to being Set so that you don't have cases like Evenly Matched, wherein it's objectively worse when used as a trap card.';

'>>92635514
No, evenly and imperm were made for a reason, all negate cancer boards don't just require drawing the out, they require drawing two outs at least, and you still have to bait one negate before doing anything. Dark ruler no more does jack shit against cancer decks like snake-eyes that just float onto more monsters or rebuild from zero on their next turn, konami needs to hit that deck into the ground or make an evenly matched that cannot be responded to. TCG for once is unironically doing things right by banning baronne and borreload savage.';
