The Infinity Gauntlet/Gems.

 

From Marvel's Earth-616 universe, one of six most powerful artifacts, the fan favorite: Infinity Gauntlet! Combined from the six Infinity Gems: The Power Gem; Reality Gem; Mind Gem; Space Gem; Time Gem; And the Soul Gem; The Infinity Gauntlet grants you control of all facets of reality!

 

[spoiler=Infinity Gems Powers]

Power Gem: The red Power Gem gives the owner access to all power and energy that ever has or will exist, and can back the other gems and boost their effects. Its most basic powers grant its user unlimited stamina and can increase the user's strength to unlimited levels depending on how much the gem is drawn upon. It allows the user to duplicate practically any physical superhuman ability and become invincible. It can also be used as an unlimited power supply for any machine.

 

Reality Gem: The Reality Gem allows its user to alter reality to what one wants or break the laws of reality and logic such as making 2 + 2 = 5, as well as the laws of physics. Minor uses allow one to resurrect the dead, distort reality around someone so it is incomprehensible, or other things that would normally be impossible. More powerful uses allow one to create any type of alternate reality one wishes. At its peak when backed by the other gems it allows one to alter reality on a universal scale.

 

Mind Gem: The blue Mind Gem gives the owner psionic powers like telepathy and telekinesis or can augment the pre-existing mental powers of its user. When used in conjunction with the other gems, it can link its user with all other minds in the universe at once.

 

Space Gem: The space gem allows its user to manipulate space anyway one sees fit. Its most basic powers allow one to teleport themselves and others any place they can picture in their mind regardless of distance or preventive measures such as walls or spells. It can increase the speed of the user. Its more powerful abilities allow one to appear in multiple places at once or altering the distance between objects contrary to the laws of physics. At its peak when used in conjunction with the other gems it allows its user to be at all places in the universe at once simultaneously.

 

Time Gem: The time gem allows the user total control over the past, present and future. Its most basic ability grants its user visions of possible futures. It allows time travel, control over the age of beings and also be used as a weapon by trapping enemies or entire worlds in unending loops of time. At its peak, when used with the other gems, it allows its user to exist at all points in time simultaneously.

 

Soul Gem: The Soul Gem is sentient; it has a desire to collect souls; Can attack another's soul in various ways; Can reveal information by peering into another's soul or using the 'Cold Light of Truth'; Can trap souls inside itself in an idyllic world; The gem's wielder can access the memories and skills of those imprisoned within Soul World; Can revert beings to their natural state; Protects its wielder from soul-based attacks; Can disrupt the anima of a soul with a karmic blast rendering the target temporarily unconscious. Certain beings are immune to this attack.

While this card is face-up, that Zone is treated as the Monster, S/T, Field, and Pendulum Card Zone simultaneously (if you control "Space Gem" and "Time Gem", each Zone on your field is treated as the Monster, S/T, Field, and Pendulum Card Zone simultaneously).

PLEASE CRITICIZE!

[Echo27]

Infinity Gauntlet can be destroyed by card effect, such as MST. The individual gems such as Power Gem's 3 effects are way too OP, and you could run 3x of it for ANY deck, and is too generic. Reality Gem allows for Rank 8 plays in a rank 4 spam deck. Mind Gem's 3rd effect is a mini Confiscation with no cost. Space Gem's 3rd effect and Reality Gem's 1st effect have no use whatsoever. Now, Time Gem's effects are completely BS. 1st effect is a built in Reckless Greed, 2nd effect can disrupt plays and create advantage for yourself. 3rd effect combined with the presence of Power Gem can disable an entire Deck. (in a few turns.) The banishing effect of Soul Gem is okay, but not super useful. However, the Monster Reborn effect of Soul Gem is entirely BS, in addition to the fact that you can activate it twice when Power Gem is on the field. At this point, I really don't see why you would need to run Infinity Gauntlet at all, because of lack self protection and you probably have already won when you have all the gems. However the searching ablility of infinity gauntlet is very nice, allows for searches of Power Gem/Soul Gem/Time Gem. The downside is that it itself is a Equip Spell. Finally, the largest flaw in the entire group of cards not the fact that Infinity Gauntlet win condition is absolutely pointless, but the fact that you cannot possibly control 7 Equip Spells :)

@Echo27 Appreciate the critique! =)

 

They are all indeed generic, haha. But they're generic because anyone can wield the gems.

 

The Infinity Gauntlet can be easily removed and it's win condition is difficult to fulfill, you do not necessarily have to control any or all of the Infinity Gems, you just need to activate it. However, I agree that it is a flaw that needs adjusting. It is the way it is because the quest for obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet in the Marvel Comics and soon the MCU is very challenging. Also, the Gauntlet can be snatched from the wielder if they're not paying attention as attempted by Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer, which is why I didn't put immunity in the first place. Maybe I should add some form of immunity and change the win conditions requirements. I'm not to sure yet on kind of immunity it would be though.

 

Power Gem is strong as intended, haha. I agree that it can be powerful against/used for certain decks. Perhaps I should just limit it to either targeting or destruction prevention(?), but I'll still keep the battle protection as there are plethora of other ways to remove monsters. I didn't think it would be too op b/c of the once per turn clause

 

Rank 8 plays in rank 4 spam decks is possible for the Reality Gem. The Reality Gem is basically a Gaga Magician. Off top of my head, you can make like Harbinger or Felgrand with Gaga Magician plus Goldfish. However you have to equip the Gem to Goldfish (unless you have a third monster) and afterwards you'll lose it, and if that was your strong play, you used 3 cards to make 1 card. Plus, you can play around with just 1 Harbinger or Felgrand. Even if you can make those plays, I don't think it is as strong like Ptolmeaus where the player could make Pleiades on your opponent's turn. It can disrupt plays, maybe i should remove it's quick effect(?). Lastly, the idea for it's first effect is just to have an extra card zone. As the Reality Gem's powers are to manipulate reality and it's laws, here it manipulates YGO's rules having a pseudo 6th zone.

 

For Mind Gem, maybe revealing mutiple cards is an issue as free information of the opponent is critical. I'll implement a cost.

 

The Idea for Space Gem's third effect is that you can occupy your opponent's, say Pendulum Zone rendering it useless unless they or you remove it.

 

For Time Gem, that third effect is an issue now that you mentioned it. Activate it during your turn and then your opponent's turn, now you have 2 cards they cant use. I'll adjust it by having the effect last until the EP, that way it doesn't cripple your opponent to much. As for the draw effect, you basically draw 2 (1 for your normal draw and 1 off the effect in SP) every 2 turns, it's a continuous Upstart Goblin with the drawback of Reckless Greed. I don't think it's op because (1) you can't activate it the same turn, you must wait until your next SP, it's not like Reckless Greed where you can activate it during your opponent's turn thus giving your opponent time to react. (2) Like Reckless Greed, it balances itself out, except your giving up 1 DP instead of 2 to draw 1 card. When the effect does resolve, you have to wait 1 of your turns to activate it again. Lastly for the Big Eye effect, it gives free information of the opponent, perhaps I'll implement a cost most likely.

 

For Soul Gem's reborn effect, it does sound powerful, but keep in mind that you CANNOT activate it if you did or have already special summon that turn rendering you to only special summon 1 monster per turn if you use the effect. Special Summoning 2 monsters is a lot thinking about it. I'm not to sure, I may remove it so that you can't summon 2, however I'm not strongly convince that it is op.

 

I'll make the edits soon.
