I actually don't think any Shmod card is realistic enough to be really attractive. Kazuki Takahashi and his many alternate arts of Dark Magician Girl kinda creep me out.

I noticed.

Anywho, have you percolated any ideas on the cards you mentioned earlier?

Fleshed out the Siren theme a bit. There'll be two main Sirens - Gracesea and Iceflood. Each one searches out the other, kinda like Gadgets, except with a restriction that prevents massive chains of Sirens. (It's a bit wordy, so I'll spare you the details).

There's also a Spell that plays Tsunami Dragon when you control both Sirens, and a couple others that will be lesser priority.

...That's thw wordy effect that you spared me the details of? That's not that wordy. But I like them. And the ritual seems pretty fun.

Meh, I just didn't remember the exact wording. And see? Told ya you'd like them. Next on the list is [Masked Mermaid] and [Queen Rapidwave].

Is Queen Rapidwave the Boss Card?

No one, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have one. And I only asked because of her title. Queen implies importance.

Whatever. She's not really a boss card. It could probably be argued that she is, but it wouldn't be a good argument.

Not really. She does have a reasonably unique effect, but most cards do, actually.

Here's Masked Mermaid:

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Or in this case, a beatstick that's easily searched. Interesting concept.

Hadn't intended it to be searched by Gracesea or Iceflood, actually.

Then it's for the support spell. Clever, but people will probably still search it like that.

It's just the wording. Remember what happened with Cyber Harpy Lady, and Harpy Ladies 1-3? The result of poor phrasing. I'm not saying yours is anywhere near that, but it's something to consider.

Now THAT was a completely different situation. Besides, Shmod doesn't have a 4 cards of the same name rule, it has a 4 of the SAME CARD rule. (Alternate arts count as the same card)

Anyway, got any new cards for the set?

Maybe. You seem to have trouble realizing that not every idea I make becomes a card. Sometimes I can't fully figure out an effect, sometimes I can't fully figure out a picture.

I have noticed tht you don't make every card you write of. I'm just trying to figure which ones you will and which ones you won't. Remember Fusion Revive? One you decided against making, for reasons undisclosed.

Fusion Revival was a card I randomly made up to make it easier for Tyson to play Omega Ninth Dragon. Like how I made Goliath Frog gain ATK so I could have Zywen play the Gluttony demon.

...Which made it a great example for the above. And yet, you chose to make the Frog but not the spell. Then again, frogs are your favourite animals.

Aarikku · Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 3:06 am Post subject:

That has nothing to do with it. I didn't make Fusion Revival because it was PURELY a random invention to let Tyson play Omega Ninth Dragon easier. When I realized Goliath Frog would actually be a huge help to frog decks, I decided I should make it too.

Fusion Revival I don't wish to make because it allows for up to 9500 ATK for 1 Mana, I don't have a picture, and the name's boring. Can we drop this now?

I thought it was 2 Mana. But yeah, it's not important anymore.

So, how go plans for the set?

Not exactly a 'Guardian' of the Sand Ring...

Allusions aside, certainly an interesting card. What filter did you use for the sand effect?

I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Lightning Dragon, Sand Wraaith, Plesio-Leviathan... LV 3 3200/3000 monsters with powerful effects. This your new theme for each type?

Aarikku · Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:24 pm Post subject:

Er... no. I couldn't think of what I wanted to do with Plesio-Leviathan, so I figured I'd base its stats on Sand Wraith. Its stats being the same as Lightning Dragon is coincidence.

Okay then. Quite the coincidence though.

Anyway, any FIRE cards for the set? Perhaps a Level 3 3200/3000?

Fire did well last set; I'ma finish the Sirens, see what I can do about adding Ra and we'll see how many card slots are left then. The count I've got in the OP is out of date.
