The Valhallan Set

[sebihp2007]

[font="Lucida Console"][u][size="4"]The "Valhallan" cards[/size][/u][/font]

Valhallan monsters are monsters of a variety Types, but they only use mostly the LIGHT attribute, with a few exceptions. Their play style implies keeping an as small as possible number of cards in your Graveyard. As such, most Valhallan cards contain effects like "If you have no cards in your Graveyard" or "For every card in your Graveyard" or "Remove X cards from your Graveyard from play to ...", as such, making an advantage out of a disadvantage. A sample card, which is already in the TCG, which may help you have a guess of the card effects you are about to see is [url="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091001113038/yugioh/images/5/50/TreacherousTrapHoleCSOC-EN-ScR-1E.png"]Treacherous Trap Hole[/url]

my card r go see ok pal

[Daigusto Sphreez]

Well, heres my judgement (:

I give you 5/10

Good Points:
Nice idea for a deck - good consistant theme
Some interesting effects
Some interesting features such as tons of types and decent pictures
enough cards to make a decent deck, or near enough anyway.

Bad Points:
Flaws in your OCG
Quite an underpowered deck, quite easy to defeat
I might be wrong, but your card effects that bring cards back when removed from play aren't allowed, I don't think.
Some shabby pictures and predictable effects.

Thank you for the review

Could you please point out the mistakes in my OCG for further reference?
I was focusing quite hard, since the mind of a card creator often flies towards imbalance (and that is to be noticed in 90% of the cases). Nobody says that all cards have to make top-tiers, though (points and laughs at Skull Servant )

As for the pictures, yeah, I know .. haven't really put too much whoop into it

NOTE: cards that bring back RFGs are allowed (a classic example from the current TCG is Burial from a Different Dimension)
