Naardaas

Personally, with regards to the Element Fusions, I'd just lick 5 or so that represent the Cream of the Crop or cover all the Base Elements. You haven't specified an amount of cards per deck - remember the first Yugioh starters had 50 cards. If you do something like that, you could fit a few Elements.

Now then, do these character decks have cards in multiples or no?

Aarikku

They do. I can't come up with a way to make them otherwise, though I've been trying.

Though, I figure that's fair considering that the characters used doubles of cards in their deck.

Naardaas

Excellent. They're already better than Yugioh Starter decks.

The only thing from there is introducing only one new card per deck. They're your decks and it really doesn't matter, but personally I'd do 3. But that's just me.

On another note, do you have enough of Linlan's cards from the series for her own deck?

Naardaas

Any new developments on the decks?

Aarikku

It's been three days. And I've been working on Timeline.

Naardaas

Sorry.

Aarikku

Linlan's deck cover is up.

Naardaas

Nice Orchid... though it kinda looks wilted.

Tyson's contains 5 Tokens? Since when does he use Tokens? Surely he has 5 Combination monsters. But then again, it's your set. Do as you feel.

Aarikku

He WOULD have five Combination monsters, but that would mean making Sigma Dragon an uncommon. And no, he's never used a token, but I'm giving him a Fusion-less deck, so he needs something else.

Naardaas

Makes sense.

And the Orchid?

Aarikku

...What about it? Don't even try to criticize me art-wise.

Naardaas

Nevermind. Some flowers are kinda droopy.

So... why'd you change Spire to Shrine? Seems kinda unnecessary... then again, I've changed several of my card names.

Aarikku

Because the picture of a spire would've been three vertical stalks of bamboo. Aka, really lame. The shrine is more detailed.

Naardaas

Sounds cool. Can't wait to see that.

Aarikku

Honestly, it's not great either. The best art of the new cards is Hydragon's.

Naardaas

Well... it'll still be fun to see.

Naardaas

You alt-arts look great. 'Specially Tetra Element. The rainbow background is coooool.

Aarikku

Thanks. I guess I uploaded them but forgot to post 'em.

Naardaas

How have the other cards turned out so far?

Aarikku

I'm done the new cards; I just can't decide what the rest of the deck should look like. I guess I'll upload and post...

EDIT: Posted! Check out Hydragon's 200 extra ATK.

Naardaas

Pretty cool!

Aarikku

Full lists posted.

Naardaas

Nice. Those decks are fully functional, but still decks new players could utilise. Why can't Konami get that right?
