Subject: TOP 10 PROTOTYPE Cards By Angel-From-A-Higher-Plane


DMs stands for Duel Monsters. I do not like saying Yu-Gi-Oh! because it sounds too kiddy for me. Anyway onto the main topic; TOP 10.
The following list of cards I MADE-UP for DMs, just for fun. I will give my reasons for the facets/aspects that comprises each card.

1- Card of Salvation(CoSn)
Quick-Play
The controller of this card can not activate it if he/she has drawn outside the DRAW PHASE. In addition, CHAINS or EFFECTS involving drawing before and after this card resolves are negated. Both players draw until each has 6 cards in hand.
I was REALLY VERY disappointed that CARD OF SANCTITY(CoSy) was given an INFERIOR effect versus the ANIME version. However looking back I can see that CoSy in a deck with Pot of Greed and Graceful would be too powerful especially in a 40-45 cards built deck. Hence this is why I made my CoSn a bit restricted to1 per deck. In addition, if the CONTROLLER who has CoSn cannot activate it if he/she has used another card's effect to draw outside of his/her standard Draw Phase and if he/she can activate my CoSn and it resolves anything else that draws cards outside the Draw Phase is NEGATED for the Turn CoSn was played; hence if for some reason(like a Curse of Darkness is out for use with Last Turn..etc) you CAN play Pot of Greed or Graceful but their drawing effects are negated.

2- Mighty Mite Blow(MMB)
Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up Level 3 or lower Monster Card (including a Token) on your side of the field when you activate this card. When this card resolves, destroy the Monster Card/Token involved in Battle with the selected Monster Card/Token. Battle Damage is negated.
Since I'm a Burn/Stall player I wondered what a cool useful Utility Spell could aid me in this deck type. I included Tokens as Legal targets because of the SCAPEGOAT and COBRA JAR type cards. There's also the aspect that some of the best Level 1-3 Monster Cards also work well AGAINST Burn/Stall decks.

3- Blow Mighty Mite(BMM)
Quick-Play Spell or Normal Trap
Select 1 face-up Level 4 or 5 Monster Card (including a Token) on your side of the field when you activate this card. When this card resolves, treat selected Monster Card/Token as a Level 3 monster. Destroy the Monster Card/Token involved in Battle with the selected Monster Card/Token. Battle Damage is negated.
Since I'm also a Fiend/Control player I wondered what a cool useful Utility Card could aid me in this deck type against Burn/Stall decks. I included Tokens as Legal targets because of the SCAPEGOAT and COBRA JAR type cards.

4- Counter Vortex Realm
Field Spell
Put 2 Spell Counters on this card when you play it. If this card is targeted for negation or destruction remove a Spell Counter for each attempt; this card stays in play if it has 1 Spell Counter on it. During the controller's Standby Phase and End Phase this card produces 1 Counter of any type and 1 Spell Counter for this card. The Counter can be converted to be used by a Spell, Trap and Monster card that can legally recieve/use Counters of it's type. If Spell Cards are being negated by a continuous effect, this card can longer produce any type of Counters.
There several sources of inspiration for this massive-deckbuild/centered-spell card. For starters I also play Magic The Gathering(MTG) from time to time. In MTG there are Artifact Creatures which are like Machine monster cards in DMs. MTG also has cards called Artifact Spells which functions similar to Equip Spell cards in DMs. One such Artifact called Energy Chamber that I use in my first LIBRARY(DECK) allows me to give +1/+1 Counter or Charge Count Power/Tounghness(atk/def) to any 1 Artifact Creature/Artifact Spell during my UPKEEP(Standby Phase).
Another source for designing this card is from another Field Spell Card in Yu-Gi-Oh!(DMs), Necrovalley. Counter Vortex Realm is a Field Spell Card that really shines for a Deck focused on Spell/Counters. Some of the most noteworthy uses for these Counters are Breaker the Magical Warrior, Big Core, Pitch-Black Power Stone and of course Armor Exe! After my Top 10 List I'll catalog the effects of most of the above mentioned REAL DMs Cards just for your convenience; I'm cool like that, huh!?

These following Monster Cards are JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES type of monsters; the penultimate in utility monsters; unlike the Element monsters which has 2 yet all active effect options. The SPECIALIST group are here to add 5 balanced options to their respective Attributes against all others especially their opposite Attribute. I consider the opposing forces are DARK vs LIGHT, EARTH vs WIND and finally FIRE vs WATER.You might notice none have an Effect option based on their own Attribute. I figured this would make them into DOUBLE AGENTs which essentially contradicts the purpose of giving each opposing Attributes an equal version of each others. To a degree any 1 version has something for everybody to capitilize. Read on!

There you have it folks my Top 10 prototype DMs cards. Comments and critiques welcomed. If you Instant Messesage(IM) me please introduce yourself and explain how you found me. I often research online many times just for DMs so it'll help me NOT to close-out IM windows which I have a habit of doing- like with the quickness, LOL! I hopefully will complete a project for actually creating mock-up images for my made-up cards since I'm a freelance computer graphics artist intent on doing computer-generated-animated imagery might as well put in some practice while I went for my next gig!! Stay Tuned to the POJO's Top 10 and CCG sections!

Duel with Humility, Honor and Heart!
