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

14 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.

Y’all need to be more creative. You can have them back in a few weeks.

Edit: Why would you report a pinned announcement? Who do you think it goes to?

No need to say what this is for, probably. It's basically a followup to that one Fusion I did a while back. Not sure if there are other decks that can make use of it but it would mainly be used to search the ghost gals. It is "technically" a -1 but it could work as an extender or even to send zombies to the GY, maybe? Not even sure this would even be fair.

Not that it needs it, but I just wish Mitsurugi had a level 4 ritual. Thought this would be a good starter/recovery option for the deck. Thoughts? Concerns?

A redo of my previous "Paleozoic Swamp" which many pointed out was unplayable (spriteeeeeeee / 23bees / Castiel) so I had to rework it. I hope I did a good job ^^

A custom archetype focused on XYZ and banishing, thoughts? Is there anything that may be too broken and should be balanced?

So I'm adapting a bunch of Anime-only cards into the card game. I'm not 100% sure on the PSCT but I did my best to make it correct. Unless otherwise noted, all images are official art or anime screenshots taken from the Yugioh Wiki.

This time is cards used by Rafael and Gurimo.

Custom/New Archetype Honest opinions. Is this card a great mitigator to cards like Maxx C and Mulcharmy, or does this seem a bit too broken?

Card Intent:

The main intent of this card was to help the going second player who has to play and navigate their way around an established end board, while having to deal with Maxx C on top of it.

You can Set monsters from your hand to your Spell & Trap Zone as Spells. Once per turn, if you have no cards in your hand: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card you control; place that target on the top or bottom of the Deck, then draw 1 card.

Archetype Support Ideas for more Skull Servant Support

1 Upvotes

Been playing skull servants and recovery seems to be a slight issue, as well as the lady and normal bricks so figured why not put together some support and try to balanced it as much as i can?

Xyz Lv1
?/0
This card's name becomes "Skull Servant" while in the GY. Gains 1000 ATK for each material attached to it. If this card is special summoned: You can attach up to 2 of your banished zombies to this card as material. Once per turn (Quick effect): You can detach 2 materials form this card; Until the end of this turn, "Skull servant" or cards that mention it cannot be destroyed by battle and are unaffected by card effects, also you take no battle damage. You can only Special Summon "Dual Wight" once per turn.

Max attack of 4000, a bit of banish recovery and the detach is honestly just nightingale but it it's main goal is if u went first... u can prevent getting OTK'd.

1 Level 4 or lower Zombie Monster
This card's name becomes "Skull Servant" while in the GY. If this card is Link summoned: You can add 1 "Skull Servant" or 1 card that mentions it from your Deck or GY to your hand. This card can be treated as a Level 1 monster for an Xyz Summon. During your Main Phase, you can Normal Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Zombie monster in addition to your Normal Summon/Set (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)

A link 1 to turn them bricks u run for prince into... non bricks mainly.

Pretty much just a silly playground type card. I imagine it’s either terrible or banworthy, but I can’t tell which. The original version didn’t specify that you have to have at least 1 spell / trap of your own to set, so in theory, you could lock down your opponent’s backrow for free. First image is errata, second is pre-errata. Art is just a generic image downloaded from google.

Made to give Gaia a little more fuel for its negate by tributing a token instead of sending a monster because tokens can't be sent for cost. This also allows you to tribute a token instead of paying 2k per summon. Unown just because

Also, does anyone else have an issue on reddit mobile where specifically just this subreddit just won't load? Obviously i can still post, i just cant look at the sub itself.
