[iHop]

Hello and welcome to the world cup 2009 (Earlier version of 2010).
This is not really about football*, it is about making cards, so even if football doesn't interest you, still join.
*Soccer for any Americans here.

Best card:

From your best card I will determine what country you are.

Entry fee is 10 points for 3 stars and above, and you can donate as well. Anyone who donates more than 100 points will get 1 rep for each 100 points donated.
1 and 2 stars are free, but they can donate as well. The repping for them starts at 20 points. The reason I have let 1 and 2 stars in free is because I want some "Dark Horses". All points are added to the pot.

Specialty: Rocks and Reptiles
Best card:


1 EARTH tuner + 1 or more non-tuner monsters.
As long as this card remains face-up on the field, increase the DEF of all EARTH monsters you control by 100 for every EARTH monster in either players Graveyard. If this card is destroyed by a card effect, select and activate 1 of the following effects:
*Destroy 1 card your opponent controls.
*Special Summon 1 level 4 or lower EARTH monster from your hand.

In My Opinion (Click to View)

Once per turn during your Standby Phase you can change the location of this monster according to its current location
*If this card is in your hand you can Special Summon it
*If this monster is on your field it is sent to the Graveyard
*If this monster is in the Graveyard it is removed from play
*If this monster is removed from play, place it on top of your Deck
When the location of this monster changes due to its own effect, inflict 200 damage to your opponent.

In Others' Opinion (Click to View)

Once per turn you can Special Summon 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard and treat is as a monster (Pyro-Type/FIRE/Level 1/ATK 200/DEF 200). When a Spell Card summoned by this card's effect is used for a Synchro Summon you can remove this card from play and pay 1500 Life Points to return the Spell Card to your hand.

Angola...I was hoping for a better one, but they are hosting the 2010 world cup and seeing this has no relation to football I'm good.
