Legend Of Legaia Cards

[VictorSempra]

I had these in the written section for a while, however I talked this over with a good friend and we came up with a different concept to do with them, and I turned them into actual card designs. Let me know what you think. Criticism, tweaks, etc are all appreciated, try not to be terribly negative :)

The Ra Seru are special beings that attach themselves to the arms of the three Heroes here.

I cannot in good conscious take all of the credit for these. This has been a collaboration effort between me and a very good friend, MachinaGayhem. If not for him, this wouldn't have been possible.

[spoiler= Main Monsters/Heroes]

Any suggestions on what else I can add to make the set complete and playable?

[Rocket Grunt]

Cool idea! I like them Too bad there isn't better image quality out there for these guys :/

[/quote]I know! I was searching for ages for better Ra Seru pictures, and I have an idea for their "true forms" already so I didn't want to use those. Hopefully, these will turn out better than my Legend of Dragoon cards when they're all said and done.

Problem. I can't find a good picture of Terra, not sure how to proceed e.e

[VictorSempra]

There we go, all six of the main cards are up.

[VictorSempra]

New trap is up

[VictorSempra]

Le bump.

[♦~Thug-Life~♦]

Great cards. The pictures are decent. Effects of the cards are balanced, but once the monster cards are equipped with their union monster; their powerful. It makes it a good combo.

9/10 (It's the pictures man)

Side Note: OMG, I remember this game from when I was a little kid. I never got the whole story of it, because in the beginning you get attacked by some weird bird things, and it's something to do with trees.

[/quote]LOl, thank you for the feedback, appreciate it ANd if you like, I can try to explain the story to you xD

[VictorSempra]

New card is up, tell me what you think

[VictorSempra]

Le bump. =/

[VictorSempra]

So, I'm debating making a form of Spirit Barrier for them, since the Unions are 0/0 monsters. Would that be a good idea?



Owait, I forgot, nobody comments in Pop Culture.

[Love of Ghibli]

Okay since you asked...repeatedly I normal don't comment anymore but here it goes.

As whole they are woefully underwhelming as in weak, underpowered, etc. Sure none of there effects are broken and are nicely balanced but that is purely because they aren't really useable as a set by themselves. Its actually pretty weird because the two dudes are pretty decent if you just look at them stat wise but I guess the punch and the win condition here are from the Ra Seru which are just...not great.

Vahn: His stat's are nice for a searcher, in fact all things considered he combo's with Union base which I guess you have to use in this deck so you could attach your Ra Seru to their appropriate person quicker. So yeah I actually have no problems with him.

Gala: A 2200 Cyber dragon thunder type. I feel Battery's may have use for him or maybe not idk. He's a dark cyber so he automatically replaces any deck that used vice dragon and he makes excellent BLS fuel. Yeah he's just great in principle. And he searches when he kills. That's just beautiful. Once again beautiful.

Noa: Meh...not so beautiful, She's dark resonator without the beauty of being a resonator or a tuner an most of the time people will kill her off meaning her searching is useless. The sad part is that I'm thinking that their effects are somehow related to whatever game/show their from so and since I have no idea what that is outside of the name I am not really in a position to pose solutions (hence why I don't really make my way down here..ever). But yeah girl should be redone.

Meta: -____- no to all of this. 200 points of damage is so small it is literally unrecognizable. Even in the anime standards where they have 4000 lifepoints and they will do back flips and herp derp combos they still at minimum burn 500. King Pyron the most horribly built gemini pyro monster burns 1000 per turn. The ONLY thing redeeming about this is that its a union monster. Well then again its a monster specific union monster so it breaths dead draw. Yeah I think I want to set fire to an orphanage after looking at the greatness of Vahn then seeing this.

Ozma: ANY random equip card does this things job better than it does. This thing is completely unworthy of the great Gala. At least in the anime when they gain 500 ATK its the random plot hax backwater effect that followed something epic. This is its main ability? No to all of this. And yes I did note the discard thing but since it too breeds herp derp dead drawness I figured it would balance out.

Terra: Now this is weird, out of the 3 Legalia Noa was the bad one and out of the 3 Ra Seru this is the only good one...odd. Enables direct attacking which is always fun with Level Limit shenanigans. The union ability allows for her to live another bout enabling a search and its the only destruction effect that's decent. The combos with this thing and Scrap Dragon alone are just beautiful.

Trap: Its slow therefore weak...would be nice in the anime though.

Spell: Its meh


Well I have commented on the Legend of Legaia cards. Hope it helped.

[VictorSempra]

Thank you for the feedback. For Noa...I really had NO idea what to do with her. The game is more brawl-esque, it's turn based and you get to pick X attacks to do a combo move. SO really, anything I come up with on the cards is purely based on their nature (Noa being the weakest in attack and defense but best in speed, and also being WIND type hence the card bouncing).

The Ra Seru were a serious problem for me, trying to figure out how to make them useful without just balls-out breaking. I will certainly think more on Ozma, and do you think just cranking Meta up would fix that problem?

I can look at the trap again, a friend is helping me with these so I'll get his opinion on it to see how I can improve on that, and the spell as well.

Thank you very much for the feedback, appreciate it.

[Love of Ghibli]

These cards should work towards some cohesive goal. So far it reads that if you get Legalia equipped with matching Ra Seru's you should win the game. If that is the only thing they are good for then the Ra Seru's should almost tip the scale of broken. Because monsters-specific union monster tend to either undo the fatal of a monster (Lei Lei, Orc) or just break it (Kiotsu [sp]). You clearly should be the latter.

Meta: [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Needle_Burrower"]Needle Burrower[/url] and KA-2 Des Scissor...yeah that's more on the lines of that things effect and you can add something for the death part.

Ozma: Anything

Noa: Idk maybe she can be the Kizan of the group and just drop her if you have more than one Legalia and/or Ra Seru card on the field. And maybe she can search if some other Legalia does something (emphasis on the comboing)

[VictorSempra]

Okay, so using more of a multiplier effect for Meta based on a certain condition, I can do that.
Ozma....yeah, I'll re-do that.
Noa I'll have to think on, I'll try to make her more of a "relation" card between the others for better combo'ing.

[Love of Ghibli]

Well there you have it feedback brought to you by beginning. If you every need anything just PM lol

Love the new Spell Card and how it totally supports any of the three monster cards!

This set I give it a 10/10! (+Rep earned!)

I hope you plan on making some cards based off the monsters in the game. That would be awesome.

Side Note: Please, oh please, explain the story to me because I never got the point of it.

[/quote]I will be doing more than just the main, no worries there. Also, I'll send you a PM with the story

[VictorSempra]

Okay, took the feedback into consideration, fixed some things. Hopefully these are better now. Still not a complete set, of course.

[Love of Ghibli]

I agree with all of this especially if the effects stack if you have every one of them on the field meaning herp derplicon shenanigans. I approve of all of this.

You asked earlier how you incorporate trap cards for the archetype and for that I would say look at Fire Fist for I have no idea how their trap cards are so important to the archetype as a whole but they surely are so I would say look at that.

So far so good I was pretty much their for most of the suggestions so...yay you did what I suggested, as for Miracle Arts...I love it.

[VictorSempra]

All thanks to your feedback, man . And I know you said Miracle Arts was "meh" so I decided to up the ante, if you will. I will have to seriously think on the traps because i honestly have no idea how to incorporate them, or any other Spells for that matter.

[Hermit Purple]

Miracle Arts is one of those cards i wouldn't mind drawing into when i'm in a pinch (at least now lol)
But, i feel like 500 for "every card" on the field is a bit much.

Maybe only cards your opponent controls?

EDIT: I see the other card edits worked nicely
