Son of Schmilsson Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 My review [b]Rating:[size="3"] B[/size][/b] [i](Great Set, but it could be greater)[/i] A few OCG and spelling errors, see my individual card reviews for the most glaring ones (I’m too lazy to point out the minor ones though). There also seems to be a small problem in the structure of sentences, you should tweak them a little to make them sound just right. For the most part the art is great, apart from the occasional blurry picture and black/white frame, however some of the pictures feel static due to boring poses and lack of background (ex. “The Dark Lord of the South”). And if I allow myself to go all nitpicky I would have to say that some of the Warriors really look like Spellcasters, Fiends or Fairies, but that is pretty much irrelevant. Most of the effects are intriguing but at the same time they are easy to understand and imagine using in a game. I think this deck tends to be a bit OP’d, but that is easily taken care of with some polishing. The ground is set for a great deck, and that is what counts. Other than that I like that you showed all the cards in the deck, and how many of each are included, it really helped in getting an overview. [u]General evaluation:[/u] [i][b]Lore/effect: 3/5.[/b] The small mistakes pile up, easily managable though.[/i] [i][b]Presentation: 4/5.[/b] Half of the pictures are great, the names are pretty cool.[/i] [i][b]Originality: 5/5.[/b] This is where you stand out, many ideas in this set.[/i] [i][b]Balance: 3/5.[/b] Too OP'd, but in some cases too weak cards - easily fixed though.[/i] [i][b]Playability: 4/5.[/b] I could see myself using many of these.[/i] [i][b]Overall: 3.8 = [size="3"]B[/size][/b] on the rating scale[/i] [spoiler="My thoughts on some of the cards"] [b]Arabemia the Witch Knight:[/b] The Life Point effect feels tacked on. And to be able to summon a Level 9 monster so easily is not too fair, I think. [b]Iarthamus, Lord of the North:[/b] A bit OP’d; very high ATK [i]and[/i] DEF plus a Life Point effect which, again, feels tacked on. Also, I think if you give conditions to for the Summon it is not a Normal Summon, which basically ruins the entire effect of this card. [b]Knight Maiden – Elah of the Angels:[/b] Way OP’d. I do not know what else to say. [b]Knight Maiden – Ruana:[/b] Basically an unneeded vanilla with no redeeming factors. [b]Luck of the Draw:[/b] Interesting outcomes, but I do not think the stakes are high enough. Since there is a 66 percent chance of a positive effect, the negative one should be more devastating. Also, I think it should summon a Level 1-6 monster from your hand [i]or[/i] a Level 1-4 monster from your Deck, you do not want to make it too easy for yourself, right? By the way, am I right in assuming that this card is not meant to be a Field Spell? [b]The Dark Lord’s Lair:[/b] Again a very original card, but it is slightly OP’d. It both raises the ATK of a type of monsters by 800 and the cost of the card five out of six times either gets negated or has a positive effect. I think you should slim down the Discard’s effect to three possibilities and have one be good, one be neutral and one be bad to balance things out. Also, I think you should lower the raised ATK for DARK monsters to about 500. [b]Winds of Centaurus:[/b] Such a basic effect, yet I have never seen it before. Very nice. [b]The Lone Warrior’s Spirit:[/b] Really useful, balanced and original effect. Art (although a little blurry) and name are both great too. [b]Arcsine Knight:[/b] Pretty generic, but useful, effect. Though I am perplexed as to what “If you activate this effect, this monsters ATK by 1000” means. Is it supposed to say the ATK is [i]raised[/i] by 1000, because that would make perfect sense considering it has a low base ATK for a Level 7 monster. [b]The Secret Fort on the Mountain:[/b] This card feels superfluous and OP’d, being more powerful than the already very powerful card it replaces. Also the name and picture are both pretty boring. [b]Untouchable Maiden:[/b] Nice, but it does not help a Knight Maiden in Defense Position, so I think it should say in the lore that this card only applies to face-up Attack Position Knight Maidens. [b]Warring Clans:[/b] Everything is nice but the last effect about removing the monsters with the same Attribute from your deck etc. – that is really mean! (not to mention OP’d).

Son of Schmilsson Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Oh, speaking of "Winds of Centaurs", I though of some things that could make it more balanced and playable. First of all you should make it clear in the lore if all the monsters attacking sort of "merge into one" or if one of them attacks and the rest of them act as equips. For example, if your opponent plays "Skull Dice" or something and your monsters ATK suddenly is lower than that of the target, what would happen? Would all the monsters be destroyed? I think you should clarify this. Secondly, I'm not too sure how I feel about this, but maybe there should be at least [i]some[/i] sort of cost, this Spell could be very powerful.
