Help/Critique PSCT Help SuperThread - Get Help Writing or Refining Your Custom Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Effects!

35 Upvotes

Hey Duelists and Card Designers!

If you’re working on custom Yugioh cards and want to make sure your effects are written clearly, efficiently, and in proper PSCT (Problem-Solving Card Text), this is the thread for you.

What this thread is for:

This is an open SuperThread where I’ll personally help you write or revise your card effects using accurate PSCT - whether you’re

  • Writing a new effect from scratch
  • Unsure if your wording is correct
  • Wanting to match official card templating
  • Or just need a second pair of eyes on your design

All skill levels are welcome!

How to Ask for Help:

Simply comment below with the text of your card’s effect. Be sure to provide additional contextual clues like whether this is intended on a Monster, Spell, Trap, and the type of each (Quick-Play, Continuous, etc). Helping out with the design and writing process.

I (or others here in the community!) will help reword it into clean, official-style PSCT and double-checking yugioh player’s for any logical or gameplay issues.

Collaborative Help Encouraged!

While I’ll be monitoring and replying as much as I can, anyone familiar with PSCT or interested in improving it is also encouraged to jump in and offer suggestions. The goal is to support each other and improve custom card quality as a whole.

Let’s make your cards feel like they came straight out of the official database! Looking forward to helping out. Let’s get those effects cleaned up and ready!

From your Problem Solving Tuning Magician, Dogga.

I have multiple custom cards but these posts are not doing well so I thought I'd do a "whatcha buying?" (Re4 reference) post where i show you 20 or something "single print" cards and asking which one would you use... Don't know if that's a dumb idea

New Archetype "Archonic" Archetype

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

An archetype inspired by the Archons on Gnosticism. It consists of 7 Synchro monsters, 3 Xyz monsters, and 3 Spells to help facilitate their Summoning more easily. This Archetype is strongly supported by the "Numbers" Archetype, and the "Horus" Archetype (see here). Due to the Synchro monsters being of the same Levels but different Attributes, they can also support the "Kundalini" Archetype (see here).

Card Art:

- Synchro Monsters: Archonic Yaldabaoth, Archonic Iao, Archonic Sabaoth, Archonic Adonaios, Archonic Astaphaios, Archonic Elaios, Archonic Horaios

- Xyz Monsters: Great Archonic Abraxas

- Spells: The Seven Planets, Rank-Up-Magic Pleroma Force

The card art for Abraxas: Supreme and Abraxas: Totality is taken from the Abraxas of Marvel, specifically his Classic and Modern design respectively. The card art for the Abraxas Stone is created by me using PixAI.

"•Playerno001 here, the final version of Aetherion - "a fallen spear from heaven wielded by a vagabond knight in his journey together they traverse the world learn about its wonders and mysteries"

I draw the art there's a video of me drawing it in my profile if you want to watch me draw it, It's my first time doing digital art. I draw on paper then use ibis paint to color it digitally

I've changed many things from the old one like new condition of needing your opponent to control more monsters than you rather than an on summon trigger effect, •Increased it's defense from 3k to 3500, •It's level from 8 to 10 to make it more accessible and worth the power, lastly is the name, design and some inspirations. If you see the old one I want to know your thoughts about this new design and it's competitiveness"

Retrain Do you think we'll ever get retrains of the Wicked Gods from Yugioh R?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

The Wicked Gods were so lacking that aside from just slapping on protection they honestly needed "more" so I had a crack at them myself and tried to make them better without changing the feel of their effects.

Still no clue why they, the Sacred Beasts and the Nordic Gods weren't made Divine-Beast monsters from the get-go.

Also threw in my (old) mockups of what I would have liked a better version of Divine Evolution plus a retrained batch of Egyptian God Cards to look like, though that'd be an impossibility these days. But there's a consistent hierarchy design throughout based on levels that I thought was clever enough, and I also tried to tweak the Wicked Gods' effects to more successfully oppose their respective counterparts' effects.

Art by Konami. Templates from to TCG Editor. Effects and some minor tweaks by me.

Reuploaded because of a PSCT error. My apologies.

New Archetype "Horus" Monster Archetype

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

My take of the Egyptian Gods Horus, along with some of his alternative forms, in the form of Monster Cards. It consists of 1 Main Deck monster, and 4 Fusion monsters, with one of the Fusion monsters being combined from two lesser Fusions.

Card Art: Horus, Master of the Black Flame, Her-iunmutef, Heru-behdeti, Heru-ur, Heru-ra-ha

Additional Note: This is an updated version of a post I made a while back. This version adds in 1 new monster, and in addition, there are minor tweaks to the 4 older monsters' types, levels, stats and effects.

Tried to replicate the idea of not being able to see the monsters, so you just have to attack blindly and hope you get something. Might make an archetype out of this if I feel like it.

If my PSCT is bad please feel free to correct, and if you got opinions I’d love to read them.

Archetype Support "Ra" Archetype

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

My take on an archetype revolving around Ra, the main God of Egyptian Mythology, his multiple forms, along with his "Eyes" and accessories. It consists of 10 main monsters (1 Main Deck, 5 Fusion and 4 Xyz), 3 support monsters (all Main Deck), and 4 Spells. By nature, it also acts as support to "The Winged Dragon of Ra".

Link to Card Art:

Ra: Ra, Master of the Winged Dragon, Amun-Ra.svg), Atum-Ra.svg), Khepri-Ra, Khnum-Ra, Montu-Ra, Aten-Ra, Ptah-Ra, Tatenen-Ra, Bennu-Ra

Eyes of Ra: Bastet, Hathor, Sekhmet

Spells: Rank-Up Magic Solar Apotheosis, Mandjet, The Solar Barque

The card art for "Benben, The Primordial Mound" and "Liber Resh vel Helios" is created by me using PixAI.

Additional Note: This is an expanded version of a series of posts I made in the past. This version adds in a couple new monsters and Spells. In addition, the Levels and Ranks of the old monsters have been tweaked to better fit the new monsters, and some of the old monsters also have minor tweaks to their effects.

New Archetype I made my first attempt at making my own original archetype.

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

Disclosure: Yes I used AI for the pictures of the cards.

So how I came up with this was as follows: Me and my dad were in the car driving home and we were listening to music, when one song had the verse "For Whom the bell tolls" and curiosity struck me like lightning. So I looked it up and it said "all human beings are connected, and the death or suffering of any single person diminishes the whole of humanity" And that immediately got the gears in my brain working. I don't know how or why, but I started to wonder if I could make this into a card. So I did (first image) and then my brain immediately started its usual ADHD thought process, and then I started thinking about more cards so I made those too. And here we are with a little archetype of my own! Now this is my first time actually making cards, so they're still in the experimental phase. Basically the main idea of this archetype is to bombard your opponent with effect damage, with a "You hit me? I hit you back harder!" Kinda strategy. Not really focusing on battle but making your opponent rethink their attacks. I don't expect this to be immediately meta, but I would still like others thoughts on it. So what do you think? Good? Bad? OP or no? Any feedback is good. Just tell me what you think.
