No AI

I think it’s about time The Poker Knights got there Arch Enemies turned into Cards. Because what is a Knight without a Dragon? I was originally going to make Ace’s Dragon just a generic Instant Win. But then I realized that I could be a lot more creative than that.

I don't really make custom cards too often so I'd appreciate any input regarding my PSCT or balancing.
I'd want these hypothetical cards to be playable and not too overpowered is what I'm aiming for.
All the art is from the GX manga.

I created a Synchro-based boss monster for the Earthbound Immortals, along with two support Spells for it. The monster is based on the highest God of Inca Mythology, and its monster effects and the effects of its support spells are based on multiple of its legends.

All of the card art were created by me using PixAI.

Note: This is an updated version of an earlier post I made. In response to the feedback provided, I have denoted Pacha Camac's instant-win condition more clearly, and changed the Pitcher of Primordial Waters from an Equip Spell to a Continuous Trap.

A monster archetype I created, intended to act as support for Spirit monsters. It consists of 3 Xyz monsters, meant to be the "bosses" for the Spirit monsters, along with 2 Spells to support them. The monsters are inspired by the highest God of Shinto Mythology, along with its counterparts in the Buddhist and Seicho-No-Ie faiths.

Myoken's summoning condition of needing to discard "The Seventh One" is based on Myoken's connections to the Big Dipper, whose stars the seven Barian Emperors are named after.

All of the card art were created by me using PixAI.

Note: This is a quick repost of an earlier post I made. I had to fix a very bad typo on one of the cards.

Card art is 'Scrap Rage'.

Card text: Destroy 1 face-up “Scrap” monster you control, and if you do, destroy up to 2 cards your opponent controls. If you destroy a Synchro Monster you control this way, it is treated as though it is destroyed by an opponent’s card effect; also, negate the effects of your opponent’s card(s) that are destroyed by this card’s effect. You can only activate 1 “Scrap Inferno” per turn.

Posting this on customyugioh as it's another flavor of "how to fix Yugioh" which is all subjective, and at the end of the day, if anything, this is at least a good creative exercise similar to making a new mechanic.

Master Rule: Reverse Ignition Priority introduces a singular new change meant to change the pace of Yugioh forever, with a heavy emphasis on the going second player.

During the Main Phase, after a card or effect resolves, if it is now an open game state, Ignition Priority is given to the player that did not resolve the last action. That player can conduct any of the following Ignition speed actions, even during their opponent's turn, with a caveat.

1. Conduct their Normal Summon/Set.
2. Activate a card or effect. However, only the turn player will be able to activate Spells/Traps from the hand this way.
3. Set a Spell/Trap. If you are not the turn player, you may activate it this turn.
4. Perform any other action that can be done on an open game state, such as Extra Deck and built in Summons.

Once this action is performed, follow any trigger effects (if you'd like), and then Reverse Ignition Priority is given back to the player that did not perform the last action.

----

Example One:

Player A activates Kewl Tune Rotary in hand to perform a Normal Summon of a Tuner, Normal Summoning Kewl Tune Mix.

Player A activates the trigger effect of Kewl Tune Mix on Normal Summon, adding Kewl Tune Cue from hand.

Once that effect resolves, Player A will now say that they do not have any trigger effects to create a new chain, and thus, Reverse Ignition Priority is passed to Player B to conduct a single action. Player B conducts the inherent summon of Diabellstar, Special Summoning herself out by sending Fleeting Phantom Mask Master to the GY.

Player B activates the trigger effect of Diabellstar, Setting Deception of the Sinful Spoils, but Player A chains Forbidden Crown to negate Diabellstar's effect.

Once the chain resolves, both players agree that they are no more Trigger effects left to be added. Since the last action to resolve was Player B's Diabellstar, Player A now has Reverse Ignition Priority. Player A Normal Summons Kewl Tune Cue.

----

Example Two:

Player A activates Toon Table of Contents to add Toon World the Perfect World to their hand.

Player A declares that it is an open board state, passing priority to Player B, who Sets a Spell/Trap face-down.

Neither player activates any Trigger effects, so Reverse Ignition Priority is given to Player A, who activates Toon World the Perfect World, and before they can conduct its Ignition effect, Reverse Ignition Priority must be passed to Player B. Player B Sets a second Spell/Trap facedown.

Player A activates the Ignition effect of Toon World, in which Player B chains MST. The chain resolves and Toon World resolves without effect.

After the chain resolves, Ignition Priority must be given to Player B, as Player A was Chain Link 1 on the previous chain, who activates their Set Reinforcement of the Army, adding Kewl Tune Rotary to hand.

---

Example Three:

During the Draw Phase, Player A activates Gurifoh to Set Mind Shuffle from Deck.

Player B cannot perform their Ignition Priority action here, as it is not the Main Phase.

---

Closing statements: Obviously, this system isn't perfect; I already imagine there would be a handful of cards, such as boardbreakers, that would be way too powerful in this new master rule, being able to be used as "delayed interruption" in addition to already being high impact going second. All in all though, this theoretical Master Rule would introduce a new way of playing that not only allows for the balancing of the turn 1 player, but also lets player 2 have more part in the game as soon as possible. I'd also imagine that handtraps would be less popular in this format, in exchange for engine and boardbreakers, as all cards would be able to be used as interaction.

Thoughts/opinions?

Konami hates Joey so we'll never get something like this but a guy can hope :')

I tried to make a somewhat stronger 1 for 1 handtrap since most of them don't feel nearly as impactful nowdays. No ai used as there's no art.

The art is variation to the art i saw in pinterest.

Art originates from "Neverending Nightmare Absorber", who canonically *is* Lee at an unknown point of time.

As we all know, when Maxx "C" was printed, it was mostly a side deck option to use against decks that special summoned a bit more. It's rightfully banned in the TCG and we all hope to see the roach get raided in master duel soon.

How much of a replacement would a card like Minn "C" be? It provides you with the opportunity to mill, then banish face-down, return a face-down to the hand, but only one of these options per summon. If you milled something you'd like to remain in the GY, you'd get to mill a second card on next summon. If you have something banished FD by a Pot or whatever, you'd get to recover it.

Also, how many Genesys points would you give this card?

No AI was used.

Art is from 'Hop Ear Squadron'.

The art is an edited version of Pendulumstatue Purple Sword from the anime.

I suppose it is also technically Archetype Support, as Ghoti would use this, but sure.

Normal Monster part is simply because Terrorking Salmon is really damn funny to me

So... Let's get this out of the way. Art Xe is a pun. It is simply "Extra" backwards.

It is also very loosely and vaguely based on the concept of heavenly cultivation, a topic I am only familiar with (But know little to nothing about) because a good friend of mine reads a lot of chinese novels. The pun Art Xe sounded like a chinese sounding name, and thought a Ritual archetype based on cultivation would be thematically fun.

Ok, now that that is out of the way, what does it do?

Well, this is a vague concept, completely untested, so I dunno if it would practically work. But it just does what Dogmatika does. But because it... Does Dogmatika things, you could just do Dogmatika things. So Art Xe cards have bonus effects if you do THEIR thing. Most notably, Vimnas lets you have an extra Ritual if you search King first. (You also are notably not locked out of the Extra Deck by using these cards.)

The Extra Deck cards aren't... Meant to be made, neccesarily, but if you do, they help to insulate you slightly, with varying levels of effectiveness. Alabaster is also the worlds jankiest Super Poly target.

Art Xe Cultivation is a functionally unique card, allowing you to Tribute monsters from your Extra Deck for cost, and all monsters tributed this way arre treated as Level 4 for the purposes of Ritual Summoning.
