    Another idea just popped into my head. Observe

    Raging Rust
    Counter Trap Card

    You can only activate Raging Rust during a opponents' Standby Phase. Skip that players Battle Phase. In addition, remove all Machine type monsters in play from the current Duel. At the end of your next End Phase, Special Summon all Machine type monsters removed from the Duel this way under thier owners control. Monsters special summoned into play by this card do not activiate any effects on any Monsters, Spells and Traps in play.

    EDIT: And another based off a Magic card design i posted here earlier

    Possessor Of Objects
    Monster
    Type: Fiend
    Element: Dark
    4 Stars
    1500ATK/1150DEF
    Effect: If this monster battles a monster with an Equip Magic Card Attached to it, all effects of the Equip Magic Card(s) attached to that monster are instead applied to Possessor Of Objects until the end of the Battle Phase

    Fallen, your cards are riddled with miswordings and your irregular presentation makes them a pain to look through for pricks like me. Please, for the love of all that is sweet and sugary, stick to the basic format here (see cards by me, ACC, and Frostweaver for said format) and at least try to follow the wording practices of actual cards. -.-

    Te-hee...actually, ACC, the full brunt of the Curran/Pikeru support comes now. Last night I finally figured out a set of cards that would be simply perfect for my character. >D

    Court of Nobles
    Field Spell

    While this card is face-up on your Field, increase the Atk of all 'Curran', 'Pikeru', and 'Royal' monsters by 300. During your Draw Phase, instead of drawing a card, you may add 'Coronation of the Princesses' from your Deck to your Hand.

    Royal Emissary
    Warrior/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1900 Atk/ 1600 Def

    If 'Court of Nobles' is not on your Field, this card is destroyed. Discard this card from your Hand to add 'Court of Nobles' from your Deck to your Hand.

    Royal Justice
    Spellcaster/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1300 Atk/ 1200 Def

    Whenever you negate the summoning, effect, or attack of a card controlled by your opponent, inflict 500 points of Direct Damage to your opponent, and if 'Court of Nobles' is on your Field discard a card at random from your opponent's Hand.

    Royal Sharpshooter
    Warrior/Effect
    3 Star/Wind
    1200 Atk/ 800 Def

    While 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, this card can attack your opponent directly.

    Royal Enforcer
    Warrior/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1400 Atk/ 1300 Def

    While 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, negate the effects of all effect monsters destroyed by 'Royal' monsters in battle.

    Royal Treasurer
    Spellcaster/Effect
    3 Star/Dark
    1100 Atk/ 700 Def

    If this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent while 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, draw a card. During each of your End Phases, if there are no cards in your Hand draw a card.


    Yay for royalty. I'm honestly of two minds about Justice: should it be above recruiter range at the benefit of becoming useful on the field or stay recruitable but with weak stats like it is now? :3

    Hm... I'd say that Justice could come up with five hundred more attack points, so it would still be recruitable but gain a little more usefulness. I don't really see anything wrong with these cards, so...

    Nyu, giving justice 500 more might be a bit too much seeing as how it will also gain 300 from Court (Resulting in 1800) and that ability does some rather nasty stuff in combination with cards like Forced Back. Meh...maybe raise it up to 1300 at most. Now to sort out this jungle of messed up wordings:

    @Fallen:

    Zach Young: There's no pyro attribute; that should be fire. Also, the effect should just be "Increase the Atk and Def of this card by 100 x the combined number of Zombie type monsters in both players' graveyards." Meh, weak card; zombies don't make a habit of staying in the graveyard and this card is worthless if they don't. At most you'll probably get a boost from a Pyramid Turtle or two, but most likely this one will just fail. :\

    AJ Valentine: What's with these card names? o.O Anyways, same wording problem as with the previous card. Slightly more useful than its predecessor, but still pretty much a failure because so few people uses zombies. Lukewarm Atk boosts in general aren't that hot anyway.

    The Fool: Screwed up wording once more, should be "During each of your Standby Phases, your opponent loses 250 Life Points." Also, that's tribute; not sacrifice. Meh, the damaging effect is way too weak to be useful, but the Atk is passable.

    The Magician: Wording, wording; "During each of your Battle Phases, pay 1000 Life Points, otherwise this card is destroyed.". That LP cost renders it utterly useless, though; the protection isn't a big deal since big monsters get stolen or Smashing Grounded anyway.

    The Empress: Do I even need to mention that the wording is all wrong? *Sigh* "Discard two cards from your Hand to select one card on your opponent's Field and destroy it." Bad trade-off; I'd sooner take my chances with Snipe Hunter.

    The Emperor: "Tribute this face-up card on the Field to Special Summon one [Insert card names here]"...there's just so much wrong with how you have worded this. First off: as it is it can't summon anything because there are no cards with the names you mentioned. In effects like this you have to give the full card name of the monster you want to specify, otherwise it won't work, and since there's no 'Type whatever' in the cards declared here the effect has no legal targets. Also, special summon from where and how many? :\

    The Hierophant: What the fudge is up with that flip effect? If you want a burn effect then make it a burner, but risking an 1800 Atk beatstick for 500 direct damage is just plain stupid.

    The Lovers: Again, there are no allowed targets. 'Tarot card' means 'Card with tarot in its name' and there aren't any. -.-

    The chariot: Why on earth would anyone want to play this? 500 LP is practically nothing, and because it's a flip effect this one effectively can't be used as a wall without suiciding itself. Also, that should be "Gain 500 Life Points then this card is destroyed.".

    Justice: Tribute; not sacrifice. Also, it's ridiculously exploitable since you haven't put any limit on what fusion monsters you can summon. Just play this to pull out Cyber Twin, the recur it with Premature Burial later and tribute again for another Cyber Twin. Also, you have to learn not to give every monster a beatstick Atk. There should be a balance in power between card effects and stats. -.-

    The Hermit: "Reduce the Def of a monster on your Field by half, then increase the selected monster's Def by 1000.". Absolutely lousy card; to apply that effect the target monster would have to be face-up, and it takes an incredibly stupid player to attack a face-up defense position monster with a weaker monster. Plus, anything with a def of 2000 or more doesn't gain anything from this effect, bringing it to an all new level of pointlessness.

    Wheel of Fate: Wtf? This card can only be summoned when it's special summoned? That's a contradiction in term. "This card may not be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by tributing [Insert situational tributes here] from your Field." I'm not even going to bother sorting out that messed up Atk and Def determination since the boundaries are already overlapping. While you have 2000 life points then it should, according to that effect, have both 2000 and 3000 Atk and Def at the same time. If you can't tell the contradiction here then you're a lost cause. Also, five situational tributes for a monster that's barely worth it in the first place is just plain sad. I see no use for this card whatsoever.

    Strength: "During each of your Standby Phases, pay 1000 Life Points. If you do not, this card is destroyed." Seriously, how many high Atk monsters will it take to make you satisfied? Not really worth it either.

    The Hanged Man: Again, why would anyone play it? The moment you try to attack with it its Atk immediately drops to 1500 and then it's all downhill from there.

    Death: Exiled Force does this already.

    Temperance: A but if an overblown effect concerning the stats and level, but it's hardly going to bail out all the other pointless ones. Brain Control and Smashing still get rid of it.

    The Devil: Again, your wording is not from this world. 'Turn against' is not a card effect, that's "Select and control one monster on your opponent's Field". Also, the first provision should be "When this card is summoned (including Flip Summon) tribute all monsters on your Field except for this card. While this card is face-up on your Field, you may not summon or set any monsters.". This one is just crying for a Fiend type too. Anyways, giving up a field's worth of monsters for this just seriously isn't worth it. -.-

    The Tower: Where do you get these wordings from? Please, go look at an actual YGO card right now. The first effect can't really be worded out in YGO style, and quite frankly there's no feasible reason for anyone getting to use it, but the second one should be "Once per turn, when your opponent declares an attack against a monster on your Field you may switch the target of the attack to this card.". Another one that's not even nearly earning its keep.

    The Star: See above for the life point cost wording. Second effect: "At the end of your Battle Phase, this card is switched into Defense Position.". The stats are complete overkill; even Goblin Attack Force tops at 2300, and that one stays in defense for two turns.

    The Moon: That first effect has got to be one of the randomest ever. *Sigh* "While this card is face-up on the Field, 'Umi' on the Field is destroyed. Increase the Atk and Def of all Water attribute monsters on the Field by 500."

    The Sun: "While this card is face-up on the Field, increase the Atk and Def of all Fire attribute monsters on the Field by 500 and decrease the Atk and Def of all Water attribute monsters by the same amount."

    Perfect Almagation: Just copy Polymerization's effect and slap on "A monster fusion summoned by this effect may not be selected as a target for 'De-Fusion'.", I seriously don't understand why anyone would want to cut down on the amount of available support cards, though.

    The rest consist of a couple of pointless vanillas, brokenly high Atk fusions, and incorrectly worded Equip Spells.

    ...

    Honestly, barely any usable ones in the lot. The names remind me of the arcana force monsters, but unlike them these have no cool or innovative effects and no synergy with each other and the few effects that they do have bear no relevance to the qualities of their tarot counterparts. Broken wordings are a rule rather than an exception. Honestly: quality over quantity. The tarot figures have some neat potential but these aren't living up to it at all. T_T

    What am I, chopped liver?

    Te-hee...actually, ACC, the full brunt of the Curran/Pikeru support comes now. Last night I finally figured out a set of cards that would be simply perfect for my character. >D

    Court of Nobles
    Field Spell

    While this card is face-up on your Field, increase the Atk of all 'Curran', 'Pikeru', and 'Royal' monsters by 300. During your Draw Phase, instead of drawing a card, you may add 'Coronation of the Princesses' from your Deck to your Hand.

    Useful card, but once you have both Princesses...why bother with the second effect? After that,it just becomes a power boost.

    ...HAHA I just had the thought of what would happen if you somehow turned Royal Decree into a monster...


    Royal Emissary
    Warrior/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1900 Atk/ 1600 Def

    If 'Court of Nobles' is not on your Field, this card is destroyed. Discard this card from your Hand to add 'Court of Nobles' from your Deck to your Hand.

    ...Ah, I see. I take that back, then. Now you're getting a Captain Gold sort of synergy here. 2200 ATK with the boost from the Field Spell? That's pretty dangerous...

    Royal Justice
    Spellcaster/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1300 Atk/ 1200 Def

    Whenever you negate the summoning, effect, or attack of a card controlled by your opponent, inflict 500 points of Direct Damage to your opponent, and if 'Court of Nobles' is on your Field discard a card at random from your opponent's Hand.

    Well, with the dangers of Dark World haniging around I'd call this a mixed blessing. With Court of Nobles out, you get a 2200-ATK beatstick, but also tossed cards from the hand, and should you run into a Goldd...If you see your opponent start spamming effects that are automatically negated, hope that you don't discard one of the big beatsticks out.

    Royal Sharpshooter
    Warrior/Effect
    3 Star/Wind
    1200 Atk/ 800 Def

    While 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, this card can attack your opponent directly.

    1500 base ATK direct attacker? I think that's actually a new record...

    Royal Enforcer
    Warrior/Effect
    4 Star/Light
    1400 Atk/ 1300 Def

    While 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, negate the effects of all effect monsters destroyed by 'Royal' monsters in battle.

    This shouts combination with Justice and Emissary. Reminds me of Ha Des...and makes the deck that much more playable.

    Royal Treasurer
    Spellcaster/Effect
    3 Star/Dark
    1100 Atk/ 700 Def

    If this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent while 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, draw a card. During each of your End Phases, if there are no cards in your Hand draw a card.

    More effects for Court of Nobles. Maybe you should remove Court of Nobles' power-boost effect and make it somewhat like the Toon World series without all the playing requirements...

    Yay for royalty. I'm honestly of two minds about Justice: should it be above recruiter range at the benefit of becoming useful on the field or stay recruitable but with weak stats like it is now? :3

    Just leave Justice as it is now. Honestly, I can't see where Pikeru or Curran could fit in the deck anymore...I think you need to come up with some more cards to fit them back in!

    Oh, remember what I said about Royal Decree? Well...

    Barrier of Resurrected Wall
    Normal Trap
    You can only activate this card during your opponent's Battle Phase when you have no monsters on your side of the field. Select up to 3 Continuous Spell or Trap cards in your Graveyard and place them face-up in 3 of your Monster Card Zones. Treat the placed cards as monsters (they have no Type or Attribute, Level 1, 0 ATK 0 DEF). These cards cannot be used as a Tribute under any circumstances. If these cards are destroyed by an opponent's card effect, add them to your hand instead of sending them to the Graveyard.

    What am I, chopped liver?

    Dang, I had this feeling that I had forgotten something when I posted that, now I know what. >_< Gomen nassai. .__. Now then:

    Barrier of Resurrected Wall: Ohh...clever. Either waste your attacks or give your opponent free cards...quite tricky, and either way they're dumped into the graveyard to be dug up by Mask of Darkness. If there were more cards like this Uria might be playable too. :3

    Anyways...I think I'm leaving the Atk boost since the royals are supposed to be weak outside of their little Field. That's true about the little double-trouble princesses, though...ho-hum, I think this calls for a trap:

    Judgment of the Princesses
    Counter Trap

    This card can only be activated by selecting a face-up 'Pikeru' or 'Curran' monster on your Field when your opponent declares an attack. This card's effect is determined by the monster you selected:

    Ebon Magician Curran: Destroy the attacking monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to 200 x the level stars of the destroyed monster.

    Princess Curran: Destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's Field then inflict damage to your opponent equal to 500 x the number of monsters destroyed by this effect.

    White Magician Pikeru: Return the attacking monster to the top of your opponent's deck then gain Life Points equal to 400 x the level stars of the returned monster.

    Princess Pikeru: Shuffle all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's Field into your opponent's Deck then increase your Life Points by 1000 x the number of monster returned to your opponent's Deck by this effect.


    That one any good? ^-^

    That works for support for the princesses, but...I was referring to another card that links the girls to the Royals. So far, you only have one monster and the Field Spell by extension, and that doesn't seem anywhere near fair.

    You made me think of another card, though:

    Lingering Magic
    Field Spell
    As long as this card is face-up on the field, treat all Spell and Trap cards as Continuous cards (in addition to their normal type). Their effects cannot be used more than once.

    I think I just made Hamon & Uria much easier to play :P.

    Hamon is already easy thanks to the new and improved Crystal Beasts, thank you very much. Uria needed the help, anyway. Anyway, it's not really playable outside of a Uria-based deck, and I don't see too many of those around, but go ahead and take it. Your monster!

    Well, they'd be okay if anyone wanted to RP using them, as the cards in the anime lack the little "Konami" symbol. XD

    You could also just have the person flip a coin, similar to the anime-style Arcana Force monsters' original effects. Jeez, I must have been on crack when I typed the rule page out for the RP. I forgot to mention that stealing junk is wrong.

    "Magician", "Chariot", and "Strength" are all already OCG cards, if I'm not mistaken. There's at least one other Arcana Force out there... the one with the subjective special summoning text and the massively awesome abilities. And four thousand attack. As I recall, the original Arcana forces are actually a tad more useful then your cards, as they get two "positive" abilities, one usually focusing on buffing them up for offense, the other on a trade-off, such as lowering attack strength to negating effects or swapping monsters with the opposing player. Yesh, very scary.

    Icha: Nobody cares about your card. Except Sacred Beast players. The main problem that impedes its playability is that your own cards are locked too, so you end up just as unable as your opponent to play unless you've got Hamon or Uria up your sleeve.

    As for Lingering Magic...well, you'd need a very consistent way to pull out Uria or Hamon to use that, otherwise you'd be left in a position where you can't use any spells or traps. Interesting...but I'm not sure how many players would like to risk the clog for it, even though this now makes 3x Uria, 3x Hamon a viable option for a deck. ^^

    On the arcanas: Ahh...I forgot about that. *Sweatdrop* Hmm...maybe these cards could have both logos in every corner (Inverted in the right places) so they'd look the same from behind, regardless of which way they are? *Shot* I don't want to go with a coin toss, though; that could be exploited by Second Coin Toss. :3 Also, since the arcana force cards were never printed they technically don't exist any more that Kuribabillion. =O And ACC, I'm sort of trying to stick to their tarot connotations here, so most will have negative effects (although there may be exceptions). Also, as I recall a lot of those arcanas in the anime had negative reverse effects. The Empress made you discard every time your opponent summoned, the emperor weakened all arcana force monsters, the Magician self-destructed when someone played a spell, the Strength gave all your monsters to the opponent and the Chariot went to your opponent when it was destroyed. Some of the penalties here, however, I'm turning more exploitable than others. (For instance, the Tower combined with Card of Ill Fate becomes a semi-Demise field nuke) Anyways, I have the urge to finish this set so here I go again:

    I was wondering where the discussion for the "create a card" topic was being held, hehe. Also, I don't think I can give any valuable criticism since I'm unfamiliar with any previous discussion that may have been held on previous pages (and I'm not about to look through them all) but, in relation to Alter Ego's post and the Arcana monsters, wouldn't the opponent just choose the end of the card that's most beneficial for him/her? Or is the selection random, like spinning the card and saying when to stop. Because if it's not random, then the effectiveness of the selection (top or bottom) is only beneficial for the controller if he/she is versing someone who has never seen Arcana monsters before. Because if you're versing someone who has played against Arcana cards before, then he/she'd know which end to pick to help themselves. Just something I'm curious about.

    Anyway, onto my own set of broken cards and hopefully suggestions on how to not make them broken.

    Monster Cards

    Name: Armored Core
    Attribute: Earth
    Type: Machine/Effect
    Level: 5
    ATK: 2200
    DEF: 1500
    Effect: If there is a face-up "Original Armored Core" on your side of the field, you can Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned this way, you can add 1 Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Then shuffle your Deck.

    Name: Normal Armored Core
    Attribute: Earth
    Type: Machine/Effect
    Level: 1
    ATK: 500
    DEF: 200
    Effect: When this card is Normal Summoned, you can add 1 monster that includes "Armored Core" in its card name from your Deck to your hand. Then shuffle your Deck.

    Name: Next Armored Core
    Attribute: Earth
    Type: Machine/Effect
    Level: 7
    ATK: 3300
    DEF: 2400
    Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summon except by Tributing 1 "Armored Core" or "Original Armored Core" on your side of the field. If this card is Special Summoned this way, you can add 1 Spell or Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. Then shuffle your Deck.

    Name: Linx
    Attribute: Earth
    Type: Warrior/Union/Effect
    Level: 3
    ATK: 1000
    DEF: 0
    Effect: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if you control this card on the field, you can equip it to your "Next Armored Core" as an Equip Card, OR unequip the Union equipment and Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. When equipped to a monster by this card's effect, increase the ATK/DEF of the equipped monster by 700 points. (1 monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead.)

    Name: Original Armored Core
    Attribute: Earth
    Type: Machine/Effect
    Level: 3
    ATK: 1300
    DEF: 700
    Effect: If there is a face-up "Normal Armored Core" on your side of the field, you can Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned this way, you can add 1 Equip Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Then shuffle your Deck.

    Spell Cards

    Name: Primal Armor
    Type: Equip
    Effect: This card can only be equipped to a Machine-type monster. When a monster equipped with this card is attacked, decrease the ATK of the attacking monster by an amount equal to the DEF of the equipped monster.

    Name: Overboost
    Type: Normal
    Effect: Select 1 face-up Machine-type monster on your side of the field. The selected monster can attack your opponent directly this turn. During the End Phase, destroy the selected monster.

    Name: Anatolia
    Type: Field
    Effect: As long as this card remains face-up on the field, monsters that include "Armored Core" in its card name gain 500 ATK. In addition, make the Battle Damage to the controller of an "Armored Core" monster 0.

    Name: EN Gauge
    Type: Continuous
    Effect: Once per turn, you can pay your Life Points (in multiples of 100 points) to increase 1 of your Machine-type monster's ATK and DEF by the same amount of points until the End Phase of that turn.

    Trap Cards

    Name: Kojima Particles
    Type: Counter
    Effect: Negate the effect of a Trap Card that targets a Machine-type monster on your side of the field and destroy it.

    Name: Quick Boost
    Type: Normal
    Effect: You can only activate this card when your opponent declares a Machine-type monster on your side of the field as an attack target. Negate the attack of your opponent's monster and end the Battle Phase.

    Name: Kojima Shield
    Type: Normal
    Effect: This card can only be activated during your opponent's Battle Step. If a monster that includes "Armored Core" in its card name would be destroyed by battle this turn, it is not destroyed. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)

    I'm going to assume for the responses that some of these cards are overpowered, so I was thinking that some of them should be semi-limited or limited.

    Well, on your arcana question: As the effect states, the card is placed face-down (and we're going by an assumption that the back doesn't have any distinguishing features like the real cards to let anyone tell which side is which) and your opponent has to choose the side before flipping, so they wouldn't know which side is which. Of course, to do this effectively you'd probably have to shuffle your deck tarot style (meaning that you draw some cards upside-down).

    Armored Core: The only thing broken is the retrieval effect, because pulling out any spell from your deck is a very, VERY strong ability in YGO (Heck, you have to make a three-for-one trade just to get one from your graveyard). This one is a bit too easy to special summon to give such a strong boost. Either limit the cards it can fetch or change it to some other card type. (Trap would already be far less broken)

    Normal Armored Core: You can just say "When this card is Normal Summoned, you may add one 'Armored Core' monster from your Deck to your Hand"; it's the new wording practice. Quite dangerous since it pulls out its bigger partner, but at the same time it has a Cyber Stein-style weakness of leaving you with a frail attack position monster on your field for your opponent to pick on.

    Next Armored Core: Again, a spell of your choice is a bit too much. Either limit that to the graveyard, add an extra cost for the fetch or limit what kind of spells you can retrieve (For instance; only Quick-Play, Equip, or Continuous). Very bulky, and the retrieval effects make it pretty easy to get out on the Field but I wouldn't call it broken beyond relief except for the spell fetch and it does need support (*Cough* Cyber Phoenix *Cough*) to really wreak havoc. Meh, maybe drop the Atk just a little, though, since the search effect already makes it quite lucrative. I'd probably still stick this is a limited simply because the search effect is so strong.

    Original Armored Core: Weak monster with an equip fetch. *Shrug* Fair enough.

    Linx: Too selective and too weak, imo. I mean, even without it being restricted to only one specific monster I'd sooner go for Heavy Mech Support Platform since it fits anything. This one only gives 200 more Atk and only fits on one monster. Power up, please, preferably with some neat effect other than a power boost on the side. Extending the range of allowed targets to all armored core monsters would also make it a far more useful play. :3

    Primal Armor: Ohh...this is good enough to run even in spite of belonging to the weakest type of spells. Nice support for the cores and easily pulled thanks to original's effect.

    Overboost: Combine with Limiter Removal for great pwnsomeness. (Dang, that beats the pants off my old Gear Golem + Shield and Sword + Limiter Removal combo T_T) Well, the self-destruct balances it out, it's only one target and since Limiter Removal is limited it's not like you can go completely berserk with it. Fair enough.

    Anatolia: Rewording time: "Increase the Atk of all 'Armored Core' monsters on the Field by 500. Battle Damage to the controller of an 'Armored Core' monster from a battle involving that 'Armored Core' monster becomes 0.". Whoa...this is patching up the low Atk and consequent battle damage problem in one fell swoop. o.o Ehh...the attack boost could easily be dropped to 300 and this would still be a very profitable spell to play. Still, there are only so many cores...so yeah.

    EN Gauge: Okay, now we've stepped into a very large farmer's pat. Summon your average machine, drop down Overboost and then use this to increase the machine's Atk to 8000 and that's game. You should seriously put a roof on how much you can pump into one monster at a go. Also, do remember that machines are already prone to explosive boosts of attack power because of Limiter Removal, so any boost this gives can easily be doubled. I'd say give it a roof of 1000.

    Kojima Particles: Sort of very specific, but most forms of trap negation have a cost attached so it balances out.

    Quick Boost: Just stick with Negate Attack; same thing but no type specifications.

    Kojima Shield: Again, "'Big Core' monster" is sufficient. Anyways, Waboku does this better since it also negates damage and protects all your monsters. Throw in protection from your opponent's destruction effects, however, and we're in business.

    Yikes, swarming machines. o.o These have potential, definitely, and the only cards that seem outright problematic are EN Gauge and the spell-fetching cores (other than original, since equips are disadvantaged by their very concept). Edit those and we're talking. :3

    Alright, ACC comments of great justice! (Take off every zig!)

    Neo-Arcana monsters:

    Empress: Fair enough.

    Emperor: Fair enough.

    Justice: So it's a disadvantage for both players, no matter what?

    Hermit: Fair enough.

    Wheel of Fortune: A very effective deck thinner with the only disadvantage being that you slowly run out of cards through its bottom effect, and have to play monsters faster? Meh, I don't like this one all that much.

    The Strength: But what if the card effect was brain control? XD

    Temperance: 'Tis a powerful monster, forsooth, with the ability to end battle phases by its death. The bottom effect, in some cases, may prove more useful then the top!

    The Devil: Fair enough, but Arcana Force is starting to get too many tribute monsters.

    The Sun: A huge LP gain or a second chance at getting a beneficial effect from another Arcana Force monster? Yes please.

    Judgement: It's a graveyard recursor! Run for teh heels!!!!

    The World: Scary Arcana force monster. I want.

    Twist of Fate: This and Card of Ill Fate are about the only things that make me even want to consider playing Arcana Force

    Seven of Wands: I'll stick with Negate Attack.

    Why is "second coin toss" so problematic? It's not as if you can't use it for the real Arcana Force monsters. And are you sure they're anime only? Last I checked, Magician was out in Japan...

    Edit:

    Armored Core monsters and related cards:

    Um... what Alter_Ego said!

    Justice: Erm...nope, if you have less cards than your opponent the top effect benefits you, and if you have less LP than your opponent the bottom effect benefits you. Fulfill both conditions and it's a win-win situation. Do note the word 'combined' in both cases. If, for example. the top effect activates when your opponent has six cards in his/her hand and you have four then both players draw five, meaning that you earned one and your opponent lost one. If the bottom effect activates while one player has 8000 LP and the other one has 4000 then both end up with 6000. See? It's all about balance. :3

    Temperance: It's bothersome if it runs into Sakuretsu Armor or Ring of Destruction on your turn, though. =O But yeah, Temperance is mellow in both its sides so I made the effect reflect that.

    The Hanged Man: I'm pretty sure you were referring to the strength here. In that case your opponent got double control action. xD

    The Devil: That's why you should run Hierophant to negate the tributes or Tower to make your little monsters grow. Either that or stick to a rush strategy built on emperor and empress. :3

    The Sun: Do remember that you also have a chance of getting bitten by the monster you summon if it comes up in reverse. ;D But yeah...this was one of the goody two-shoesy tarots; couldn't find a proper penalty. <.<


    Aww...don't you have any gambling spirit? Personally, I'd play these for The World. xD Anyways, Second Coin Toss would leave an exploit opportunity for a coin-based ability system and that's not my style. If you're going to gamble; do it properly. xD Haven't heard about a release of arcanas, but if there is one I'd sure like to see how they handled the ability thing. :3

    Anyways, since Icha brought up the point of linking Pikeru and Curran with the royals:

    Noblesse Oblige
    Normal Spell

    This card can only be activated by selecting one face-up 'Pikeru' or 'Curran' monster on your Field. If you selected a 'Pikeru' monster, add one 'Royal' monster from your Deck to your Hand. If you selected a 'Curran' monster, Special Summon one 'Royal' monster from your Hand to the Field.

    Also, to add some bulk:

    Royal Bombardment Cannon
    Warrior/Effect
    2200 Atk / 1000 Def
    5 Star/Fire

    Whenever this monster attacks a Defense Position monster, destroy the monster with this card's effect without applying Damage Calculation. Whenever this card attacks, unless 'Court of Nobles' is face-up on your Field, it is switched into Defense Position at the end of turn and may not change its Battle Position until the end of your next turn.

    They used coin flips, if I remember correctly. And no, I don't like gambling when it comes to children's card games. Slot machines in children's video games on the other hand are just A-OK. (Lawlz) And what do you mean your style? Who do you think you are, Jonouchi? XD

    I just whipped this up so this post wouldn't be too spam-erific:

    A Wandering Kuriboh
    Monster/Fiend/Effect/2*
    Atk 100/ Def 200
    If this monster is in your hand when you summon a "Wandering" monster, you may special summon this card to the field. When this monster is destroyed by battle, your opponent must skip his or her next battle phase.

    Or, if we really wanna gamble...

    Ultimate Casino
    Field Spell
    All monsters whose effects involve coin tosses or rolling die gain one thousand attack points.
