Official Create-a-Card Thread

[Constellar28]

I made the most savage Link deck imaginable. The idea is to get "Afterburner Engine", Link Summon into "Thruster", bring back "Engine", Link Up,, etc. The idea is to make your LP massively lower than your opponent's so you can one-shot them. The term "Afterburner" is correct, as the fire shoots back at you. If done correctly, this deck can make a 14000 ATK "Dragon".

(Notes on each card are in parentheses)

Afterburner Engine
Fire
Level 1
Pyro
Effect -
(1) If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Link Summon of an "Afterburner" monster: Special Summon it.
(2) If this card is Special Summoned: You take 500 damage.

(Your main combo starter. Without this card, the deck is dead.)

Afterburner Energy
Continuous Spell
(1) When this card is activated: Take 500 damage.
(2) If you would gain LP: You take an equal amount of damage instead.
(3) If you would take effect damage from the effect of an "Afterburner" card: You opponent gains an equal number of LP instead.
(4) While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot take effect damage.

(This card allows you to go into as many combos as you want without worrying about LP. The 4 effect prevents you from abusing "Bad Reaction to Simochi".)

Afterburner Overheat
Continuous Spell
(1) When this card is activated: Take 500 damage.
(2) Each time an "Afterburner" monster(s) is destroyed: You take 500 for each monster destroyed.

(Similar to a one-sided "Fatal Abacus")

Afterburner Inferno
Quick-Play Spell
(1) Take 500 damage for each "Afterburner" monster you control.

(Similar to a one-sided "Ceasefire" or "Just Desserts".)

Afterburner Rebuild
Quick-Play Spell
(1) Take 500 damage; Special Summon 1 "Afterburner" monster from your Graveyard.

(Archetypal revival is always a key part of any custom archetype.)

Afterburner Ignition
Quick-Play Spell
(1) Target 1 "Afterburner" Link Monster you control; Take damage equal to its Link Number x 500.

(This card is especially potent if used with "Dragon", boosting its ATK even higher.)

Afterburner Rebirth
Quick-Play Spell
(1) Target any number of "Afterburner" monster monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon them, and if you do, take 500 damage for each monster Special Summoned by this effect.
(2) Your opponent takes no damage the turn you activate this effect.

(Archetypal "Soul Charge" with less of a cost. The 2 effect allows you to attack, but prevents an OTK.)

Afterburner Thruster
Fire
Link Markers: ⬇️
Pyro
Link
Effect - 1 "Afterburner" monster
(1) When this card is Special Summoned: You take 500 damage.
(2) If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Link Summon of an "Afterburner" monster: Special Summon it.
ATK/0
LINK - 1

(The first in the chain of Link Monsters. The idea is to use "Engine" to summon it, bring back "Engine" and keep Linking up until you reach "Dragon".)

Afterburner Archer
Fire
Link Markers: ↙️↘️
Pyro
Link
Effect - 2 "Afterburner" monsters
(1) When this card is Special Summoned: You take 1000 damage.
(2) If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Link Summon of an "Afterburner" monster: Special Summon it.
ATK/0
LINK - 2

(The second in the chain. Each Link Monster inflicts more damage the higher its Link is.)

Afterburner Magician
Fire
Link Markers: ↙️⬇️↘️
Pyro
Link
Effect - 2 "Afterburner" monsters
(1) When this card is Special Summoned: You take 1500 damage.
(2) If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Link Summon of an "Afterburner" monster: Special Summon it.
ATK/0
LINK - 3

(The third in the chain.)

Afterburner Swordsman
Fire
Link Markers: ⬅️↙️↘️➡️
Pyro
Link
Effect - 2 "Afterburner" monsters
(1) When this card is Special Summoned: You take 2000 damage.
(2) Each time you take effect damage: This card gains 500 ATK.
(3) If this card is sent to the Graveyard for the Link Summon of an "Afterburner" monster: Special Summon it.
ATK/0
LINK - 4

(The fourth in the chain. A backup in case you can't use "Dragon".)

Afterburner Dragon
Fire
Link Markers: ⬅️↙️⬇️↘️➡️
Pyro
Link
Effect - 2 "Afterburner" monsters
(1) When this card is Special Summoned: You take 2500 damage.
(2) If your LP is lower than your opponent's, this card gains ATK equal to the difference between your LP and your opponent's.
(3) This card cannot attack your opponent directly.
(4) You can only control 1 "Afterburner Dragon".
ATK/0
LINK - 5

(The main boss. Capable of reaching insane ATK.)

Going generic is the least creative way of handling it.

Thanks for the lowkey pot-shot taken at my designs. /s

[ScionStorm]

Is anybody planning on making a card to celebrate Yugi's birthday today?

@Baroque lol Sorry. I hadn't even gotten around to reading your cards yet. Anyway, we solved the issue. "Eddon" when dealing with TCG, broken up into "Geddon", "Neddon", "Meddon" and "Reddon" in OCG and that covers the entire table of elements.

[Baroque]

And I'd solved the issue on my end, too, though because the only mention of "eddon" as an archetype was in FOOF Dragon I merely omitted the use of an archetype as the qualifier for 'what it has to burn as fuel to attack' (because the beastie goes and combusts after a while anyways I figured I didn't need to go the opposite route and be limiting) . . . and then you come around and call that 'the least creative way of handling it.' Pardon me for being a trifle miffed at that.

Speaking of trifles, though . . .

Is anybody planning on making a card to celebrate Yugi's birthday today?

. . . what's a birthday without sweets? Horribly deprived.

Spoiler Alert!

Was Cerberus in the Inferno book? I don't remember.

[Constellar28]

@ScionStorm
Yeah, Cerberus was in it.

[ScionStorm]

@ScionStorm
Yeah, Cerberus was in it.

Okay. Geryon as some kind of Fusion monster was the only creature I was really disappointed we didn't get out of the BA archetype.

[Volteccer]

We don't have a Create-A-Skill thread, so I'm just going to put this here.

Swing, Pendulum!
Skill
You now have two Pendulum Zones, to the left and right of your Spell/Trap zones.

This skill actually lets you pendulum summon under Speed Duel rules. It doesn't have a drawback, because playing pendulums in the new era is hard enough as it is.
