But I didn't say all of them have no purpose. I just said that some can't do anything without support. As in "They will be destroyed without another card backing them up." But to answer your question, if a vanilla has no purpose, then it is there to gain a purpose.

Well I said that sentence about purpose because most people do think they have no purpose. And you are right. They cant do anything without support. However, if they are supported then they would be pretty powerful.

Oh... Sorry about that. Actually, some Effect Monsters don't have good effects... But I don't really like Effect Monsters either. I don't like much... >_>

Is that sarcasm?

Just so you know, Vanilla = Normal Monster

All hail Icy for putting this up. Finally somebody upstair is taking charge.

schyshter · 09-12-2009, 11:06 PM

a novel idea (no pun intended), but it's been, what, a few months now, and i've yet to see someone actually take initiative and do a story-based Vanilla Set. then again, i only pop in here once in a while and i may have missed said Set(s), but i seriously doubt that. not even the dudes who posted here lifted a creative finger, yeah? if i'm wrong, could a good Samaritan point them out for meh...?

*waits in suspense*

i have not seen your cards yet Bishop, but do they have interlinking FLaVoR text that forms part of a story, as Icy suggested we should try to make them? i'm guessing not, yeah? and that's the point i was trying to make...

I get what you saying as my cards tell a small decription of what they did to become that card or their history. They may not be creative to most people but they are to me because I made them unique from other.

Wow dude, thats REALLY inspiring. I'm sure other members will now look on you as a role model. I'm also sure Valian will be very pleased with you.
Good on ya mate!

Thanks! Normal Cards are sometime fun to create because instead of putting some effect you are putting time in telling about them and are molding them in your image.

regalsword65 · 09-14-2009, 09:49 PM

I think the text on vanillas tell the story of the card. Its just for fun. You can come up with anything you want. In an effect, you have to make it to where its balanced and has no OCG errors, etc.

I'm coming here for feedback on my Normal Monster archetype, The Vanillas. I'm gonna post them here:

The Golem isn't a vanilla! It needs a cool effect.

Rook Bishop · 09-21-2009, 04:58 PM

Those are pretty good

~Shadow Thief~ · 09-21-2009, 08:26 PM

Next you should convince people not to flame fake types...

GHawk · 09-24-2009, 12:39 PM

Thx Icy. This will come in handy for me and others.

DMZ · 09-24-2009, 12:50 PM

Why do people hate vanilla cards anyway? I think they are cool, whether home-made or in TCG. The Anime series also used vanilla cards like epic stuff Smile

. Like Blue Eyes White Dragon, I don't see anyone flaming that.....

GHawk · 09-24-2009, 01:02 PM

People hate vanilla cards because most people like to see effects on cards. Effects that change the outcome of the duel. Most vanilla cards dont have that high of an ATK or DEF. Most othe time vanill card's ATK is around 1800 ATK / DEF. Now, if a vanilla card has a good equip card to go with it people will like the overall of the vanills card because of the equip card.

Now about the blue eyes white dragon. People, like myself, like that card because its a 8 star 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF card. Yes I know its a vanilla card but because it has a high ATK peopl like it. People also like blue eyes white dragon becaus its used for a powerful fusion, blue eyes ultimate dragon. Which can be offered to summon blue eyes shining dragon. Another powerful card. But with Shining dragons effect it just makes it stronger. Thats mainly why you never see people haten on blue eyes white dragon.
