The Yugioh Card Duel Arena 11.0

Buttman is quite powerfull. Its unaffected by traps. His second effect is little unnecessary, because who would target monster with trap, when its already unaffected by them. Now what makes it OP is his SS condition that makes nice Rank 4 Spam. And along the way you can destroy face-up Trap card. Neat. Card that can be special summoned in multiple copies without hard to meet condition is generally unbalanced. Next you can Xyz with it. And its Warrior-type. There is obvious boosting effect of Wildman to extend, where it of course gets my no.

Rabin will get my no out of the same SS condition and fact that there are a lot of OTK strategies involving use of equip spell cards. It will make already easy OTKs even easier.

Joker is obvious no. Do I need to explain it? Of course I do, because you cannot into seeing your own flaws. First ti can take one card from your opponent hand. Its not even a trade that forces you to discard something, you just do it for free. And even if there were a trade involved, it wouldn't make it balanced. You should try to think about other effect for it. Plus it can be SS in the same manner as every card you just shown.

Harley would be almost OK, if not for Joker effect. And even if it had different effect, I'd say no due to mass SS of multiple copies. But it makes sense for it to protect Joker, so its a good direction.

Now for all of them I suggest adding condition that you can only control one face-up "X". It will take care of mass SS problem. That's for starters.

 

I thing that Copper and Murica are OP in random, but acceptable in non-random.

As for assemble.. Maybe you're right. I said okay in anime/manga because monsters are weak in non-random, and all it does is give tons of monsters which, now that they aren't raigeki immune, can be easily dealt with. A cost or condition attached to it would definitely be better.

 

Murica cannot go in any way. You can argue with effect, but stats are something you must meet certain standards with.
Copper is definitely strong with his discard effect, but that can be worked around. You just set or use everything you have in hand.
Unfortunately both things abilities go with ATK increase, with for monsters that have different effects in addition to such and are only LVL 4 are pretty much unacceptable in any format (A/M is exception to almost everything if presented with good arguments, but I doubt there are good arguments for card that can either increase its ATK or let you draw and is 2000/2000).

Well at least he makes progress with those customs, unlike certain someone.

 

Reprint time!

 

How does the swarming make them any different than Blackwings though?

 

Do not compare your series of 2 cards and 2 related cards with existing archetype. They work in different and by starting to compare them you pretty much admit that you are hoarding all the good effects for them and mock the game itself at he same time.

 

Now for my 'Star vs. The Forces of Evil' customs:

 

Thor is OK.
Murica forces you to keep crappy tokens for longer before using its effect, but keeps its ATK gain, old stats, draw effect and gained protection effect that makes more sense for him to have that drawing effect. Nope, get it out of here.
Copper is almost OK, but again ATK gain effect it have in addition. But still no.
Rest of them are not valid reprints when it comes to customs, they haven't changed in any way.

EDIT: ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT THEM NEXT TO EACH OTHER!!!
From now on all of your customs that are put in different lines without you putting in something important between them get my automatic no, no matter if they are balanced or not. That includes your customs you just posted.

 

I changed Black Widow and Hawkeye to Earth monsters, as per your suggestion.

 

Ah OK, I haven't noticed that one. That makes only assemble not being a reprint.

 

Reprints of Iron Man and Captain America are here!

Assemble is now a Normal Spell that now forces you to go into your deck for the required monsters and can only be played if you have no monsters during your turn. It used to be a Quick-Play Spell that allowed you to summon the monsters from your hand or deck.

 

It was normal spell before and had the same requirement to be activated before. And it was SS from Deck before (not sure if from hand too, so I will trust you on this one). Just gonna say that it first part is completely useless, because its a Normal Spell for some time right now.
As for the rest they get my automatic no for reason stated before.

 

Well, the 'Assemble' I had in the last arena was Quick-Play. (you probably weren't here for the first time I played my 'Avengers' deck) SirFred would probably remember what my original 'Avengers Assemble' card was.[DOUBLEPOST=1424484318][/DOUBLEPOST]Avengers Assemble!:

a bit sick, so can't really focus on much right now.. but Yakumo does have a point. Murica is too strong since he has too high a stat total for a monster that can resist destruction of any kind. it's like Des Toy Chain Sheep but slightly different and can be normal summoned costlessly. Assemble is like A Hero Lives on steroids.. still feel like saying no to black widow and hawkeye as they equate a costless +1 field of 2300 atk x2 mons. Even monarchs can't summon that easily and their normal atk is 2300. I would accept those two for non-random though, but not for random. it's just too easy to swarm the field at no cost to you and still gaining a card off of it. The fact that they can overlay into an Xyz after they're done attacking is another plus. Copperman is okay since he can easily be destroyed before he can ever use his effect, unless you can't destroy a 1800 beatstick.. which I would say you'd probably lose anyway regardless of his effect activating to drop your opponent's cards. Even less or an excuse to not be able to destroy Copperman in non-random since you can choose whatever you draw.

Edit: in conclusion, I accept all except Assemble, Murica, hawkeye, and black widow.

Need someone to double check if I missed anything else.

 

Black Widow and Hawkeye's effects can only be used once per Duel and they're optional effects. The text says you can use the effect when one of them is summoned. It doesn't mean you have to.

By the way, Monarchs normal ATK is 2400.

 

Marco Diaz, Princess Star Butterfly, Star Butterfly, Assemble, and Murica are unaccepted. The rest, I do accept..

 

Perhaps I should add a 'Goblin Attack Force' style drawback to Captain.

What was wrong with my other 'Star' customs?

 

Yeah, they're approved with the once per duel limitation. I would say only for non-random still as they're more powerful than monarchs. Like you said, monarchs are 2400 and both hawkeye and black widow are 2300; only 100 lower than a monster you can normally summon summon by tributing one monster. you can summon them for free if you control no monsters. Even Cyber Dragon only has 2100 atk and can only be special summoned like that if you control no monsters while your opponent controld at least one.

 

All unaccepted (even those I accepted before). Is it really that hard to place them next to each other?

 

Marco Diaz is a monster with atk of 2000 while he can special summon cards from your hand your princesses which give him 300 atk boost while he gives them 300 atk boosts.. that's pretty OP already. Not just that, but he still has 2000 defense when he switches to defense position. Marco Diaz also does not have any limitations on his summoning effect. you can summon him any way and he can SS a princess from hand. It's not even limited to once per turn, giving you OTK potential like crazy.
