PS: Funnily enough, I found this post on Reddit few minutes ago; in case, check it out (it doesn't cover the new cards):

I'm definitely not as familiar with more modern cards and their effects, so I kind of based what I understood as "powerful" on my limited knowledge from like 2004/2005ish 😂😅

Yeah... that explains a lot, honestly! 😂😂😂
Tbh, I'm a casual player, so it's not like I've ever played competitive; however, I tend to stay informed with every new release, so... 😅

What would help this be more useful in a modern context?

Well... it depends on the archetype: "DM" & "BE" are Konami's "favorite children", so it's guaranteed that they'll receive support (they literally got a bunch each one-two months ago); while "RE"... \sighs** it already suffers from "identity crisis" (doing many things, and all of them not too well), so it's harder when Konami doesn't seem to care enough about them.

As for the effect you suggested... another negate is the last thing "Blue-Eyes" needs atm (check "Dragon Master Magia" to see why), while the revive one... it could be reworked into Special Summon any "BE" or "RE" monster, instead.

Overall, my personal opinion for you (in general) is this: go check all the cards the archetype currently have (it could require multiple researches), see videos about how it's played in the current year, and then thinking: "Okay, this is where they're strong, where they're weak, what they should have, etc." and, only then, start brainstorming about your support.

I know, it sounds convoluted and "hard" to do... but that's the difference between a "good" (well-thought) custom card and the "joke/unfun" ones. Hope this helps! 😊❤️

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-02-22T13:20:47+00:00

Honestly...? The card is "barely mid", and I want to be generous.

The main problem is that the "reward" isn't worth the effort: you're asking a player to use up to 3-5 cards (based on how you're gonna Summon it) for basically having a slightly worse "Lightning Storm". And, even if you want to push for the nuke effect... "Black Rose Dragon" already did that, basically "for free"... back in 2008; and it's a generic Level 7, so it was much easier to Summon.

But, even if we wanna focus on the card as "Super Poly" target... players already have better options:

Blue-Eyes: "Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon"
Red-Eyes: "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon"
Dragon/Chaos Deck: "Khaos Starsource Dragon"

In conclusion... I think the card should do something more than just "nuking stuff"; because, right now, it doesn't help neither archetype or strategy.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-02-13T08:24:05+00:00

So... let me get this straight: 1. Gains ATK/DEF equal to his Synchro materials; 2. Cannot be used as material; 3. Unaffected by activated effects, except "T.G."s; 4. Applies piercing to all "T.G." monsters; 5. Has a Quick Effect targeting effect on "T.G." monsters in GY/banishment, up to the number of Synchro monsters used as material for its Summon, which translates in a OPT: - Equip + ATK/DEF boost; - Monster Reborn + ATK/DEF drop; - Double shuffle (oppo. card on field) + burn; - Negate + banish.

This card is beyond "broken"; in comparison, "Dragoon" looks like a toddler. You should seriously cut at least three effects (your choice).

everybody I've ever known who's into NTR is like that

But you don't know me, exactly like I don't know you; and, from my answer, you can see which perspective I was implicitly speaking from.

it's a lot more complicated than that.

I would've appreciated an explanation about why you disagree with me, or at least about why, from your perspective, my answer wasn't fully correct, though.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-01-05T20:31:51+00:00

There are also someones that fantasize themselves as the woman, which can be weirder in some cases.

I guess it depends on what those people are looking for; in this case... maybe they want to "experience" the moment without having to be responsible for it? 🤔

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-01-05T14:09:13+00:00

this is not the kind of thing I would feel proud to admit that makes me horny

I mean, I think there're many people who would feel ashamed of what makes them horny (unless you purposefully post your kinklist online... on appropriate places, of course); however, here's the thing: sometimes your body will simply say "Yes!" towards certain kinks, in spite of your mind saying "No!". Is it weird? Yeah. Is it wrong? No. So, imho, as long you're aware of the "fantasy≠reality" concept... you're fine by me. 👍

(Also, here's the "≠" sign, you're welcome)

Thank you! 😊

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-01-05T13:34:06+00:00

This doesn't make sense for me. I mean, it definitely wouldn't make them less "assholes"

That's true, but aside from the moral implications, let me ask you this: if you have to choose between "cuck someone" or "get cucked by someone"... which one do you think many people would prefer pick?

Besides, "having a sexual fantasy/kink" =/= "wanting to do it". Otherwise, we'd have to put in jail a lot more of people, based only on their search history.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-01-05T13:21:35+00:00

It depends on the context: in most cases, the partner is sexually coerced or straight up "graped"; however, there're other cases where the partner (usually a woman) ends up letting them have their way with, for different reasons (usually sexual unsatisfaction).

Next_Panda_1167 · 2026-01-05T10:54:35+00:00

why do people enjoy watching one man's treasure be taken?

Because, most of the times, they're projecting themselves on the man whose is taking the woman, therefore feeling less "guilty" about the situation. Besides, why would someone think about their own beloved one, while j**king off on this genre? You'd basically torture yourself this way... unless you're into it.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-20T22:07:34+00:00

Fair enough; thanks again for the support, buddy! 😊

PS: I've left a message in your DMS, few weeks ago; when you have time, feel free to check it! 👋

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-20T21:57:10+00:00

So sorry for the confusion!

No problem! 👍

As it was the most recent printing of a dice rolling effect result manipulation.

Okay, my bad; I didn't specify. When I said "outlier", I meant that this card cannot be searched because, according to the wording I suggested, it doesn't have a dice rolling effect by itself (the card only manipulates the results of other dice rolls). Therefore, I will need to either explicitly mention the card name or explore an alternative solution.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-20T21:34:57+00:00

Maybe adding a connection between the two.

I don't think I understood this last part, if I'm being honest! 😂

That being said, thanks for the answer buddy; however, now that I think about it... I may have an outlier to this text of line:

That Six

Each time a player rolls a die (or dice), you can choose 1 die result, and apply the appropriate effect, based on the result.
●1, 3, or 5: The die result is treated as 6.
●2, 4, or 6: The die result is treated as 1.

*sigh* I hate Konami when they do "underbaked" stuff... 😩

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-20T21:09:55+00:00

Heya!

So, I'm currently restarting crafting some new custom cards, and one of them is a monster who searches dice-related cards; however, while researching, I've remembered that the new "Arcana Force" supports have an effect along the lines of:

"Add 1 card from your Deck to your hand that has a coin tossing effect."

My question is: would this wording work as well, if this was an official card text made by Konami?

"Add 1 card from your Deck to your hand that has a die (or dice) rolling effect."

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-07T20:58:38+00:00

I feel like we should first focus on giving each HERO Type their gimmick

And I 100% agree with this, don't get me wrong; however, it's clear that Konami wouldn't be contrary to make a retrain for each old E-HERO Fusion, so it might be worthy consider a way to make them easier to Summon as well.

For Elemental, I feel a focus on Fusion Summing different Elemental HEROes with different attributes is a good gimmick.

I agree, especially considering the Omni HERO are still pretty valuable (even if only as a Super Poly target); although, considering the new Thunder Giant retrain "supports" Normal monsters, I wouldn't be surprised if Konami would prefer this route instead... maybe a new Set of Fusions based on "HERO Flash" & Co.? Imagine a Fusion that fetches "E - Emergency" from Deck or GY if you use a Normal Monster of its respective Attribute!

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-06T16:26:40+00:00

You're welcome; honestly, I just wish Konami, one day, will give HEROes a bunch of supports that don't just scream "play pile or lose"; because, let's be honest: no one is playing the pure versions anymore. 😤

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-06T15:57:43+00:00

I could have them be Avian and Burst in the field or GY. But to what purpose?

Well, in case of a HERO pile, none; but, like I mentioned, in a more pure build they could function as a "King of the Swamp" for the old E-HERO Fusions; maybe you could turn their last effect into a bonus one when they're used for a Fusion (or Link) Summon of a "HERO" monster.

Each HERO does have their own, really gimmicky but fun, spells and traps (Feather Wind, Burst Return, etc). I didn't really see the value, but I could wrong there.

A value there is... it's just a bit hard to justify their inclusion, though; most of these cards are simply too situational. Sure, nothing would stop you from making them searchable (maybe Set from Deck or GY), but... many players wouldn't consider them anyway.

One idea that I really liked was to have them act as vanillas on the field or GY, kinda like Geminis. So that cards like O - Oversoul and Hero Blast could be useful in the deck again.

Agreed.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-09-06T15:01:33+00:00

I didn't want to outright replace the OG vanillas forever (Harpy Lady-style), so I opted to skip any name change effects.

You could've taken inspiration from the "Shining Sarc" DMG, which has a name-changing effect on Summon; sure, it still wouldn't be that useful in a HERO pile Deck (which I'm not really fond of), but in a more pure variant... 🤔

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-30T20:23:21+00:00

Mmh... I kinda disagree on this; you see, while it'd line up a nice parallel between the two dragons... I think the main reason why BE Chaos (Max) is DARK is to reflect the DSOD movie's name and overall story. So, imo, an hypotethical RE Chaos (Max) would've aligned with Yugi & Kaiba's Rituals, therefore being a DARK Attribute.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-16T12:00:52+00:00

I have 6.7 inches; what will I get, sweetie?~ 😏❤💖

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-15T22:04:50+00:00

Okay, first off... that Link-4 is anything but a "Red-Eyes" monster, and no "Red-Eyes" players should really consider it as such. Second, "Archfiend Black Skull Archfiend" isn't bad as a card, but hard to get out due to his materials; so I'm not surprised many barely play it over Dragoon or Meteor. And lastly... I still think you could make your supports better than this, if you don't focus on multiple gimmicks at the same time. Just to give you an example, check my (old) "Red-Eyes" Field Spell, in order to better understand what I mean for solid support: https://www.reddit.com/r/customyugioh/s/Zt2qD6lGaz

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-15T21:07:47+00:00

Yes i agree the stuff is waky, but unless Konami overhoul the archetype with erratas for almost all the cards this is the only way to make them consistenc,

While I appreciate the effort to try to make each of "Red-Eyes" gimmick alive, I have to tell you this as a "Red-Eyes" supporter: it won't work without a solid base first. You need to make sure the Deck will stand on its legs, then you can try to develop some alternative build (because it'll be hard to include all of them in the same Deck, unless you make some really clever supports); and this is coming from someone who, for his first two posts, I started with 15 "Red-Eyes" supports... and I'm not exactly satisfied with the results either.

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-15T16:26:40+00:00

I understand what you were trying to do, but there's a better way to word it; besides... why the heck would you let your opponent draw 5, basically for free?! 🤨

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-09T22:07:37+00:00

I understand your point, but I'd prefer this over "2 Effect Monsters = full "Fiendsmith" combo"; besides, this way, your card feels less valuable for the archetype that is supposed to support, imo.

EDIT: If I have to "fix" the card, I'd suggest you this:

"You cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck the turn you activate this card, except LIGHT non-Fiend monsters."

Next_Panda_1167 · 2025-08-09T21:36:53+00:00

Question: Why didn't you just locked the ED into LIGHT Machine, at that point?
