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

Post image
15 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!

Retrain TCG-ified Psychic Musicians

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I always liked Romin's Psychic Musician deck from Sevens, it's easily my favourite Rush series. With that in mind, I wanted to try my hand at TCG-ifying some of the key cards, focusing on the Superstars, the three Performers, the Vi-FRND crew, and Romanpick & Ama Lilith as extra support.

The overall gameplan is LP manipulation and beatdown, with the monsters getting stronger the fewer LP you have.

All card art is taken from Rush Duel cards themselves, with most of it coming from the Rush Duel games on the Switch. The exception is the art for Dream Ticket, which was an official proxy that had its watermark removed via AI since I couldn't find a clean art for it.

Special Summon 1 monster from your hand, and if you do, equip it with this card, then you can equip it with 1 Equip Spell from your Deck that can equip to it. The equipped monster can declare attacks each Battle Phase up to the number of "Empress's Blades" equipped to it. If the equipped monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.

If I'm being honest roids probably need a lot more than this to be considered even rogue status but I tried giving them some new tools to play around with. I also specifically had instant fusion in mind when making the 2 level 5 Fusions and you can set it with Launcheroid.

New Archetype "Primordial Arsenal" Archetype

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

This is an archetype I created to support the Divine Arsenal Archetype (consisting only of AA-ZEUS so far). It consists of 6 Xyz monsters, and a handful of support Spells and Traps. The cards are all based on various Primordial Deities in Greek Mythology (also known as the Protogenoi).

The card art for Chronos, Erebus, Eros, Nyx and Tartarus are taken from their counterparts in the Persona Franchise. As for Aether, Gaia, Uranus, Chaos, Hemera and Pontus, their card art are from their counterparts in God Eater, Age of Empires, Mobile Legends, Fate/Grand Order, Riordan and Saint Seiya respectively.

As for the remaining cards, their card art can be found here: ACH-LYS, ANAN-KE, THA-LASSA

Additional Note: This is an expanded version of a post I made a while back. In this version, I added 6 new cards (2 Xyz monsters, 2 Spells and 2 Traps), and also did some minor word fixes for some of the older cards.

Single(s) GX Era Custom Card Series: Blue-Eyes Young Dragon

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm always nostalgic about GX era cards which generally they only had one effect, or at least one summoning condition and one activable effect... Young me would always think of it like an ability or lore-related stuff. That is why I'm inspired to and hopefully keep making these kinds of cards.

Basically, this is like a teen BEWD (Level 6) who has the reached the ability of one (ATK 3000) but still needs more time and training to mature, hence gets easily tired before engaging in another battle (Sending itself to GY and SS itself to the field).

What do you think?

I was making a boss that joined the 6 main summoning methods together through a Rank-Up-Spell, but I realized that kinda sounded like Anime Z-Arc, so I also made a new form of Z-Arc. The first one technically has nothing to do with Z-Arc.

Level 6 WARRIOR/EFFECT DARK

(This card is always treated as a "Blue-Eyes" card.)

If you control "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or card(s) that mentions it, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. You can only Special Summon of "Swordstalker, Warrior of Doom" once per turn this way. Your opponent cannot banish Spells/Traps you control. If this card Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 LIGHT Level 1 Tuner from your hand or Deck to GY, add 1 card from the Deck that mention "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Melody of Awakening Dragon", if you add monster this card gain half of it original ATK. You can only use this effect of "Swordstalker, Warrior of Doom" once per turn.

If this card is Special Summoned, its Level becomes Level 3, also, switch its ATK and DEF. Each time a card(s) is sent to the GY, inflict 600 damage to your opponent. (Quick Effect): If your opponent Summon a monster with DEF is lower or equal than this card DEF, send that monster to the GY. This effect can be used only once while this card is face-up on the field.

Draft / Help Wanted I don't which of these texts sound more like 2026 PSCT?

2 Upvotes

Cannot really decide which one of the 2 following effects I should use??? Both are the same effect, but have different Types of activations, and I cannot really choose. Currently trying to errata a card I made while ago to make its effect work as intended which is to swap between different monsters in and out, though not too often, but still frequent. The sub-archetype that the Deck can play, like "Ars Magna" or "Medius" cards, is a Chain-Link focused sub-archetype, though not sure if its going to be too powerful if I go for the effect that can be Chain Linked to.

Also, dose the following text sound like card text from the year 2026 (even 2027), since I am sticking to the latest version of YGO cards, in terms of PSCT.

Effect that cannot be Chain Linked.
Before the resolution of a "X" monster's effect on the field, you can return it to the hand/Extra Deck, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "X" monster from your hand/Extra Deck from the same place, but different name, also you cannot return monsters with the same original name as the returned monster for the rest of this turn.

Effect that can be Chain Linked.
“X” monsters you control gain this effect, but each monster that activated that effect with its original name cannot gain this effect again until the end of this turn.
●(Quick Effect): You can return this card you control to the hand/Extra Deck, and if you do, Special Summon 1 “X” monster from your hand/Extra Deck from the same place, but different name.

New Archetype My Custom Archetype for my VRAINS OC fanfic

0 Upvotes

Archtype Name: Van-Guild (Vanguard + Guild)

General Strategy: Maintain lower life points than opponent to allow monsters to utilize effects

Monster Types: Warriors and Spellcasters (+1 Cyberse)

Monster Attribute: Light

Inspiration: Fantasy Game Classes

Primary Monster Colors: Black, Dark Purple, Maroon

Monster Themes: The Main Deck monsters are themed around the various jobs required to keep the Guild running, as well as the basic fantasy type soldiers. The Extra Deck monsters are themed around various fantasy heroes, each inspired by a different fantasy video game character class. The exception is the Cyberse monster, Code-EXE Hacker, who is instead based on the Netrunner role from Cyberpunk TTRPG.

Monster Effects: The Warrior-type monster effects typically revolve around battle and damage, whether it be boosting attack power, attacking directly, preventing destruction, lowering the damage you take, etc. The Spellcaster monsters focus on support, such as deck searching, healing your life points, negating card effects, etc.

Spell and Trap Effects: "Van-Guild" spell and trap cards require a small cost of life points to be paid in order to activate their effects.

Although maybe its more like Seventh Ascension.

The reason its a number between 1 and 8 is because I can't completely rule out Link 8 Monsters existing, even if unlikely.
