Abstract Monsters and Construct Spells - Dueling Fantasies

[ExtremeG]

Reposting my old idea with some new mechanics, ideas, and cards.

 

 

Abstract Monster Cards
Abstract Monster Cards are a new Monster Card Type that all share the common theme of being personifications of immaterial or imaginary things, such as dreams, virtues, mythology, fantasies, and more. The monsters are placed in the Extra Deck at the beginning of each duel, similar to Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link Monsters, and can only be Special Summoned properly via an Abstract Summon.

 
Construct /kawn-strukt/ Spells Cards
Construct Spell Cards are a new Spell Speed 1 Spell Card that stays on the field once they are activated. All Construct Spell Cards share a similar first line effect (similar to Ritual Spell Cards and cards that Fusion Summon).
 

If the Monster Card Zone directly above this card is unoccupied: You can Abstract Summon 1 Abstract Monster from the Extra Deck to the above Abstract Zone, if you control Abstract Material monsters listed on the Abstract Monster.

 
A single copy of a Construct Spell Card can only be used to Abstract Summon 1 Abstract Monster once per turn. After one use, the card needs a turn to 'recharge'. Multiple copies of the same card, however, can be used during the same turn, unless otherwise specified.
 
Abstract Zones
The Abstract Zones are a new field mechanic that has been added to the traditional field layout. These Zones are located between the Monster Card Zones and the Spell/Trap Card Zones, the bottom directly on top of the latter, and the up half overlapping the above Monster Card Zone. If a monster is placed in a Abstract Zone, the intercepting Monster Card Zone cannot be used. Non-Abstract Monsters in the Abstract Zone cannot attack or be attacked, cannot change their position, and their effect(s) are negated. Abstract Monsters in these Zones cannot attack or be attacked, but maintain their effects. A monster can only be Summoned to the Abstract Zone by Abstract Summon or by the effect of a card that specifically states that the monster can be placed there.
 

[spoiler Field]

 
Abstract Summon
An Abstract Summon requires 4 conditions to be met.

• Control a Construct Spell Card in a Spell/Trap Card Zone.
• The Monster Card Zone direct above the Construct Spell Card must be unoccupied.
• A player must control cards listed as Abstract Materials in the Abstract Material Box on the Abstract Monster.
• The Abstract Material listed on the left/right side of the Abstract Material Box must be directly adjacent to the left/right side of the unoccupied Monster Card Zone, respectively.

If all of these conditions are met, you do not have to special summon an abstract monster into the extra monster zone or a linked zone.
 
When an Abstract Monster is Summoned from the Extra Deck, they must first be placed in the Abstract Zone above the Construct Spell Card. The Abstract Materials used to Summon an Abstract Monster can be in either a Monster Card Zone or an Abstract Zone.
 
Abstract Monsters can be moved manually to its above Monster Card Zone. Once they are moved this way, they cannot be placed manually back into the Abstract Zone.Upon being summoned from the extra deck to the field, abstract monster become unbound by their materials and can exist regardless of the positions of other cards on the field. If an abstract monster is properly summoned and then sent to the Graveyard or banished, it can be Special Summoned to any position on the field. Any Abstract Material that is listed in the Abstract Material Box can be used for an Abstract Summon, regardless of whether or not they have been previously been to perform another Abstract Summon.

If an Abstract Monster would be destroy by battle, you can send Abstract Materials Listed on that monster you control to the Graveyard instead.

https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/321505-ycm-experimental-rules-updated-1162015/

 

BASIC RULES

 

10. You must have your card's effect printed underneath, for ease of reading.

 

This is to make it easier for members to read your card's effect, and if necessary, to fix your OCG.

 

Remember that some members access YCM on a mobile device and/or have visual problems, and cannot read the effect off the card's picture.

 

This isn't a warn-able offense if text is already readable, but just as a courtesy for others who take the time to grade your card.

 

Warnings WILL be given if you fail to post the card lore if it is difficult to read on the card.

Those rules are antiquated and should not be referred to (use the general Casual Card rules). Also there is no need to put that quote in 48-pt font; we can read that. 

 

(Yes, you do need to have the effects printed, but I won't penalize if it's at least readable and I don't have to squint. Right now, I don't.)

 

That being said, you too are bound by the Advanced Clause, so what are your thoughts on the concept.

Okay...I feel like there was a RIGHT way to let me know that, and a WRONG way.

 

Right way: "Hey man, just a heads up that it's a rule that cards with small text get their effects written out."

 

But hey...I guess thanks for the heads up?

 

 

Thank you, Sakura. Just to be safe, I added the effects to a few of the cards, just to be on the safe side.

[MUDKIPISAWESOME!!!]

First and foremost, I like this concept, and usually new Extra Deck concepts just bug me(I still want to go back to 30-card Fusion Decks for my old HERO cards and throw the Synchros and Xyzs out the window). I think I may alter one of my older cards that I'd been having difficulty with to be support for this idea if you don't mind, and I can send the pic to you once I finish it up so you can add it here if you like. For the cards, I'm going to just look at one, Vesta of the Winds, and probably come back to the others later but don't quote me on that.

 

To start, you have a typo - it says "you you" on the card and in the description. Sorry that that was first, but I'm a bit of an editor in my own head and I like to pretend I'm important enough to go around telling other people they done goofed.

Next, I find it interesting that you have it say "Applied/Resolved", particularly in conjunction with Vesta's last effect - if I choose to destroy the Construct Spell in the Zone under Vesta when I'd take Effect Damage, that cancels out the effect as the card itself states that the effects can only be resolved while there's a Construct Spell under it, and the sending of the Construct Spell is the Cost, not the effect, meaning that you'd basically just send that Construct Spell and still take the damage. Was this intentional so that that effect couldn't be abused, or was this an oversight?

…I was going to put more but I forgot. Good work on the idea, keep it up and maybe I'll throw up an Archetype for it here in Experimental for you! Also, adding the written effects would be appreciated, my comp is flipping retarded and won't load half the pictures and I don't think I'm alone there.

Oh wow! Thank you for the feedback! ^.^

 

Wow, I didn't even think about that with Vista. Oversight. >.> I'll definitely change that, cause I want her to be able to use that effect even with her own Construct Spell. THANK YOU!

 

I'm glad that you got inspired! I'll post a template soon so that you and any others can make some of there own Abstract Cards.

[MUDKIPISAWESOME!!!]

Glad to help! To clarify, the card I'll probably have to attach to a PM or something to send you isn't going to be an Abstract Monster, just a card that supports the concept, but you're welcome to upload it and add it here yourself if I ever get around to actually sending it to you because I have laziness issues plus I'm trying to focus on a character backstory piece for someone on DeviantArt right now and that means I have to try not to focus on other stuff because hyperfocus issues.

Also, don't know if you saw this, but I thought I'd let you know in case you didn't and would like to. The post kind of credits this one by including a link at the bottom, but I can't tell if the user asked for permission to basically copypaste your stuff into another topic. Maybe that isn't against the rules, but it's better to ask anyways because common courtesy.

THat would be fine. I would love to see what you make, and I would totally consider anything that you would like to contribute to the idea :3 

 

Also, don't know if you saw this, but I thought I'd let you know in case you didn't and would like to.

 

................................................yeah no. I do not know what that person's problem is, cause they are really starting to get on my nerves. That's not even the concept and it negates the entire idea. You're right, if he wanted to ask me it would be one thing, but no, he didn't ask, and so I'm gonna report that.

Yeah, Dad took care of the thread (and from what I recall seeing, I think he's also done that a couple times prior to today). He'll be dealt with severely.

 

This goes for any other member reading this; if you see another member ripping off your work, let one of the staff members know and we will get to the bottom of it.
