When I was first swarn in here, Aarikku told me about Chaos Liger and how an official version was never made. Now, as my final Create-A-Card post until my series starts up, I give you my prototype for Chaos Liger.

(Level Five) Chaos Liger (Dark)
Category: Demon · Beast
Effect: This card does not inflict Combat Damage to your opponent. If this card would normally deal Combat Damage, remove up to 3 monsters from your opponent's scrap pile and deal that many damage to him/her.
ATK/ 4000
DEF/ 4000

That's not quite what I said. Bryan made Chaos Liger in what I like to call 'First-Series Shmod'. It lasted until 'Second-Series Shmod', in which Mana was introduced, but he lost the card when I was making everything digital.

I'm not a fan of the Light/Dark thing - that's Yugioh's chaos.

Tantamount to the same thing. You got any problems with the other design aspects.

Not other than the fact that it's Bryan's favourite card, and considering I stole the game from him, the least I owe him is to keep it as he created it.

(5) Chaos Liger [Dark] All the Mana paid for this card must be done with Dark Mana. When this card is played, your opponent must discard 2 monster cards in his/her hand (if he/she has 1 or less, he/she doesn’t have to discard). 4000/4500

A very noble gesture dear Eric.

(Adult Male Voice) You're right, you do owe it to him to leave it as is if you plan on readding it.

(Adult Female Voice) I noticed you listed nothing for the category. Did you forget that, or is it like Egweena (no categorry at all).

Categories were added between Shmod #2 and Shmod #3 (virtualized).

I do like the Demon - Beast categories. I'll have to get working on a picture; I did the sketch for it not too long ago.

(Adult Male Voice) From there the card is pretty good, but even more difficult to play than my Bluude card.

Yeah. I might make the effect better to compensate. Something like:

When you play this card, your opponent must Scrap 2 cards from his/her hand. If (s)he has 1 or less, (s)he Scraps all of them.

Would the idea of Chaos Liger Support work out? And that did the card art look like?

It doesn't look too chaotic now, but it'll really be all about the background and aura.

Feel free to add some Chaos Liger support.

Not bad, Dragon-Infused Leric. I like the design. I could probably draw up a new Liger design, but you never did like my work very much.

It's not your drawings, it's the tools you have available. A tablet and Photoshop always - or at least almost-always - creates better work than a marker.

I notice you called my avatar by its true name; did you download the plugin?

Heh, I wish. Because of my bloody dial-up, downloading a plugin takes hours. I found it on DeviantArt.

It's also why I've asked you for Lightning Dragon's stats twice now. Did you think I was just too lazy, or that I was trying to pester you?

The first one.

Now that you gave me a good reason, it's on Card Review.

I screwed up on the mane. Alas. It's so nonthreatening

I've messily redone Chaos Liger's head with an experimental style for hair:

I think it looks much better. Just noticed I accidentally cut out some of its stripes.

Uh, dude, why the Hell does a creature that fierce have a mullet?!

Let me try a hand at creating a Chaos Liger. I'll create something that doesn't look like a country music regect.

But my cards look better than yours. Photoshop > Markers.

You sketch templates first though. I could sketch a template and E-Mail it to you for you to colour as you wish.

No thanks. The colourshopping only turns out well because I can repeat my own drawing style; I doubt I can do yours.

Das fair. Just don't keep redesigning the creature until it's had every musician haircut in existence. My idea looks nothing like a human haircut.

In all fairness, a liger's natural 'haircut' looks kinda like an afro.

Das true as well. But you've switched to a mullet, and I'm worried it'll end up with a mohawk or something. A pompadour, however, would look kinda cool.
