Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Refer to this thread for any specific information regarding the policies of the CC Monthly. Theme Because it's a new year, time for a fresh start on life.So, here is the theme: "Retrain a monster card of your choice" Only restrictions are that you cannot make a card based on something that has already gotten one (i.e. Blue-Eyes, Dark Magician, Red-Eyes, Buster Blader, Celtic Guardian, Gaia Knights, Cyber Dragons, etc). You also cannot retrain the original God cards. Besides that, you have free reign in whatever you wish to do. If you want to make them into Pendulums, Synchro, Fusion, Xyz or whatever, that's fine.(There's also a large pool of random Vanillas that no one cares about; those are fair game to be redone) Some of you want Konami to retrain some old monsters you like; now's your chance to do that for yourself. Helpful Threads http://forum.yugiohc...before-posting/http://forum.yugiohc...d-design-guide/http://forum.yugiohc...ds-and-casuals/ Deadline January 13th, 2016 @ 11:00 pm Hawaiʻi Standard Time (GMT -10:00) If you need help determining what time it'll be in your area when deadline hits, use this converter.(Select USA - Hawaii - Honolulu in the "convert to" area) You have 10 days to enter/submit a card. Entry Fee None.Just state interest and provide card (you don't need one right away, but it needs to be in by deadline). Rules 1. Standard YCM and Custom Cards rules apply in this section. Please remember to abide by / follow them in this contest. 2. Written Cards will be accepted, however if you opt to do this; do not use the cardmaker to generate a pictureless image. Just type it out in text format. 3. When posting a card, make sure that you have its lore posted beneath, so it is easier for the judges to read your effect. Also make sure that you post it properly using the cardmaker. 4. You are allowed to make edits to your card until the deadline, HOWEVER you should have already designed the card as a final product. 5. The usage of Fake Types / Attributes, as well as DIVINE, Divine-Beast and Creator God is expressly forbidden.You are expected to design a card that adheres to the current standards set by Konami (usage of the existing 23 legal Types + 6 Attributes). Also remember to abide by the max. 5000 ATK/DEF rules for original stats. Prizing 1st - 3000 points + 3 reps + membership in custom group for a month.2nd - 2000 points + 2 reps3rd - 1000 points + 1 rep Winners will also receive PP in Yugioh 2099 equal to their adjusted score x 10; meaning that whatever score you get out of 100 (averaged if I get another member to help out), you get that amount in PP multiplied by that much. (So, if you get a perfect score, you net 2000 PP) So yeah, if you're in it, you get some stuff for cards in there. (I talked this over with Darkness in PM) Additional prizes may be given out, if needed. Prizes listed here are subject to change, depending on number of entries and their quality.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just post that you're interested in participating, and just make sure you have a card by the deadline.You do not need the card when signing up [though if you have one ready, then you're all set], but if you plan on entering, then you need it by the posted date/time. Just as a sidenote, I have altered the requirement to encompass stuff in ZEXAL and ARC-V that you guys want to retrain.Hopefully this gives you a bit more options to play with. ---------To submit your entry, just post it.

Azure Wolf Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm in. Now to think of what to retrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 There's quite a bit you can retrain.A lot of DM classic monsters are certainly fair game (considering we've been getting them lately in the ARC-V series), as are some other things. But anyway, accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Sage Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 By the way, I remember there being a rule before about cards that have been used in 1on1s but not otherwise posted being allowed for competing. Does it still apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 in this at full throttle Alright then. By the way, I remember there being a rule before about cards that have been used in 1on1s but not otherwise posted being allowed for competing. Does it still apply? If it's past 21 days since you posted it, you should be fine.I know there were a few 1v1s that had you retrain stuff, but those were quite some time ago. (Not going to look back through the 1v1 section to see when you last posted the card, though you should've made some adjustments as necessary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yeah, I want to compete with one of my favorite creations of 2015.[spoiler=2stealthy4me] 2 Level 3 monsters During the End Phase, if this card has no Xyz Materials: Return it to the Extra Deck. During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up card on the field; Set that target, then inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. While this card remains face-up, cards Set by this effect cannot be activated or flipped face-up. You can only activate the effect of "Apex of Ares" once per turn. [spoiler=Truly a herculean challenge. (Notes)]This is a retrain of Stealth Bird, a rather cool but useless monster. Now, Stealth Bird's design was likely inspired by the stymphalian birds of Greek mythology, one of the twelve challenges Hercules faced. I decided to theme the card after the legend while keeping some of the main mechanics of Stealth Bird. I chose to make an Xyz Monster to symbolize their entity as a flock rather than just one bird. The main problem with the birds was them destroying the crops of the people living near Stymphalos, which I chose to represent by draining the opponent's options of placing cards on the field by them being taken up by cards that are useless while the card is on the field. Its drawback can be traced back to the fact that when the most of this flock was killed, the remaining birds fled to a safe place. The Extra Deck was the best place for me to symbolize that.It keeps Stealth Bird's setting focus, and burn, in addition to having the same typing and reverse stats.The name is just all kinds of fun. Firstly, it's a play on apex in the meaning of height, because they're flying, and apex predator, which they could be considered with how they had no competition in the area. And they were pets of Ares, that war god.Usage-wise, there aren't really many disruption-type Rank 3s to speak of, and being a Quick Effect, this thing can respond to most activations and summons, but doesn't do immediate removal. Also, it can flip your own cards if you're so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KING OF BRAVES Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'll enter. Just to be clear, what exactly is a retrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Basically it's a monster card that's a revamped version of an already existing stuff.Original concept derives from rehashing Vanilla monsters (usually), but any card can be retrained. Take Dark Magician of Chaos and Black Luster - Envoy of the Beginning for example; they derive from the original Rituals that were present in Yugi's deck.Original forms don't have effects [usually], but the retrains do. (These two are pretty well-known, so you should recognize them) Of course, retrains are allowed to be Extra Deck stuff too. ----Otherwise, there's a page on the Wikia that says this (although I have no idea how much they update it).

KING OF BRAVES Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 [spoiler=Entry]Provoked RagnarokLIGHT****Scale 5Dragon/Pendulum/EffectYou can target 1 card on the field; destroy this card , and if you do, banish that taget until the End Phase of the next turn.You can only use this effect of "Provoked Ragnarok" once per turn. When this card is Pendulum Summoned (and no other cards are Pendulum Summoned at the same time); You can make this card's ATK become double its original ATK, also destroy it during the End Phase. Unaffected by other cards' effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yup, you got it.Just as a sidenote for the rest of you, feel free to use the artwork from the original card if you want to.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, it's a fitting theme for the start of 2016.A lot of you guys want certain monsters to get a retrain so they become viable, but Konami won't do it. So here's your chance to make one. ---But accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanashimi Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 i forgot to ask I wonder if Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand counts as retrained version of Felgrand Dragon/Felgrand, the Great Divine Dragon? Isn't it Paladin of Felgrand in a Felgrand Dragon armor? @@ What i mean is . . . let's say Serpent Night Dragon as a base card, and the retrained version would be Serpent Knight Dragon (and it's Knight form, not a dragon form, looking at it's lore too) are we allowed making such?
