Zeno's Top 10 Ideas for New
English Cards
Everyone likes making up cards, but
most of us probably won't ever see our fantasy cards used in the real
game. These are cards I think could be created for the game if the
creators ever think of the ideas. They aren't in any order,
either.
10. A Giant Trunade for Creatures: I would
like to see a card that works like Giant Trunade, only it returns all monsters
on the field to the hand. If it were a Trap or Quickplay Magic Card, it
would be very powerful, but even as a Normal Magic card, you can send that
problematic Tribute monster or any other annoying monster from the field or kill
a whole horde of Spirit Reapers or token creatures.
9. A Trap Version of
Harpie's Feather Duster: This would probably be less broken than its Magic
counterpart due to the fact you have to set it first, until Executioner Makyura
comes out that is. Less broken equals more playability, meaning there's
less of a chance it will be banned.
8. 1900s for some neglected types:
Fairies, Warriors and some other monster sub-types could use more powerful
creatures. I would like to see some more beef for warriors besides the new
Blade Knight(which I hope I can get), as well as more beef for light
monsters.
7. Something based on Imhotep: Not the mummy, the real
Imhotep. This was the man who perfected mummification and designed the
Great Pyramid unless I watched the wrong special. For a time, he was
actually revered, and people came to his tomb for miracles, kind of like an
ancient
6.
Something like Dark Magician of Chaos for Traps: Although Jinzo makes playing
Traps less of a good idea and forces decks to limit the number of them, I think
it's really cool to be able to get back a Mirror Force, Call of the Haunted or
any other Trap to use again. Although not capable of the one-turn kills
the Dark Magician of Chaos can do(which should have been limited here like they
did in
5. An Imperial Order for Special Summons:
When Mask of Restrict, End of Anubis and Necrovalley won't do, this card
will. Preventing a Chaos deck from summoning its big guns as well as
negating other cards like Dark Necrofear, Magical Scientist and many other cards
is good. For those that hate Chaos, this is your card.
4. A
Tribe-Infecting Virus for Spells/Traps: If Tribe was bad, this thing may be
worse. It can clear your opponent's field of either Spells or Traps,
depending on which you call. Of course, you would only be able to use its
effect once, but you'd know ahead of time what you're up against.
3. More
cards like Thunder Monarch Zaborg: While Thunder Monarch destroys a monster and
its buddy Ice Monarch Mobius(in the next set) destroys Spells/Traps, it would be
cool to see an effect like that with different variations. Drawing a card,
causing a discard and even some burn would be cool just for sucessfully Tribute
summoning a Lv 5 or 6 monster. Cards like this may make more people like
Tribute monsters other than the chaos monsters and Jinzo.
2. More cards that
attack twice: Hayabusa Knight and Mataza the Zapper have really great effects,
but their stats require you play Equip cards. Make a level 4 with 1500
attack or more within reason that can attack twice. A 1900 with the attack
twice effect isn't broken due to the number of played monsters that are most
likely to be on the field such as Spirit Reaper, Archfiend Soldier, Berzerk
Gorilla and select others. Some cards though would need to beware.
1.
More cards based on Mythical Heroes: Upper Deck really should have kept some
names the same, like Airknight Parshath being Perseus in Japanese and Ha Des
being Hades(BTW, Hades has nothing to do with Satanism as Hades was king of the
Underworld which had Heaven and Hell in the Elysian Fields and Tartarus
according to Greek Mythology). Hercules's card could be self-powering,
while one for Thor(not the Marvel character) could hit all monsters with his
hammer. I'm a huge fan of mythology, so I wish Upper Deck would grow a set
and publish cards from other
mythologies.

have up there are already in
