Pendulum Shenanigans

Continuous Trap

When this card is activated, you can target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone: Destroy that card, also move this card into the Pendulum Zone, and treat it as a Pendulum card with a Scale equal to the destroyed card's. Once per turn, at the start of any Phase, if your opponent does not control a Pendulum card: You can return up to 2 face-up Pendulum monsters with different Scales from your Extra Deck to your hand; destroy that same number of cards your opponent controls. If you control a "Pendulum" Pendulum monster in the Monster Zone, you take no damage from battles involving Special Summoned monsters, also Spell/Trap Cards on your field cannot be destroyed or targeted by the effects of your opponent's Special Summoned monsters. You can only control 1 face-up "Pendulum Shenanigans".

Trap Surgeon

Continuous Trap

Special Summon one face-up Continuous Trap card you control as a Monster (FIRE Fiend Level 1 0ATK/0DEF) in attack position. Then Special summon this card as a monster (FIRE Psychic Level 1 300ATK/300DEF) in attack position. (These cards are still trated as Trap cards)

Rank-Up-Magic Fool’s Force

Normal Spell

Target 1 Xyz Monster you control; Xyz Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 Xyz Monster with the same Type as that target, but 1 Rank higher, by using it as the material. (Transfer its materials to the Summoned monster.) During each of your End Phases, you lose LP equal to the original ATK of the Summoned monster (even if you no longer control it).

 

Next: A Spell/Trap that relates in some way to Main Phase 2.

Attack the Backline!

Counter Trap Card

This card can only be activated on your opponent's turn when an effect has been activated that Special Summons a monster from the Deck or Extra Deck: Your opponent cannot activate monster effects during his Main Phase 2 this turn.

 

Next: A Spell Card that counters an iconic card, be it a monster, spell, or trap. Whatever card you choose to counter though, it cannot be mentioned by name in the spell's card text.

Guard Gate

Continuous Spell

If your opponent banishes exactly 1 card from their Graveyard: You can destroy 1 card they control. Once per turn, if your opponent Summons exactly 1 monster from their hand: You can return 1 of your opponent's banished cards to their Graveyard; return the Summoned monster to your opponent's hand.

 

Guess the monster. Go on, I wonder who you think this counters.

 

Take any banned or limited backrow card, and create a stricter equivalent for one specific archetype that would benefit from having it.

Charmer's Heart

Trap

While you control a Face-Up "Charmer" or "Familiar-Possessed" monster; Target 1 monster your opponent controls. Discard 1 monster from your Hand that is the same Attribute as the target, and if you do: Take control of that target until the End Phase of this turn.

 

 

How about a Spell that punishes Ranked-Up Xyz monsters?

Acid Drop
Quick-Play Spell Card
 
Lore: Detach all Xyz Monsters that are attached to all Xyz Monsters currently on the field as materials, and if you do, banish the same number of cards on the field, then both players lose 2000 LP for each Xyz Monster that was banished this way, but both players take no further damage this turn. You can only activate 1 "Acid Drop" per turn.
 
 
NEXT UP: 
 
This time, I call for a Field Spell that helps bring the rules of another card game to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel in some way, even a playing card game. The catch? The card game's name must be hinted at, but not replicated, in that Field Spell's name.

Spell Collection

Field Spell

Cannot be activated, except at the start of your Main Phase 1. Cannot be destroyed or targeted by card effects. Neither player can Set cards. Both players can activate Trap Cards and Quick-Play Spell cards from their hand. Each player must remove a number of Mana Counters on their field equal to the Spell Speed of a card they would activate (cards with "cannot activate cards or effects in response" in their text are treated as Spell Speed 4) or Level, Rank, or Rating of a monster they would Summon. Once per turn, the turn player can reveal 1 monster in their hand, and keep it revealed until the End Phase to place 1 Mana Counter on themselves. Once per turn, the turn player can place a number of Mana Counters on any card they control equal to the number of Mana Counters currently on themselves.

 

Get dunked on, literally everyone, we playing MtG now. Simplified rules, obviously, but good luck surviving to the point that you can actually make an ED monster (at minimum, it takes 4 turns to make a Link-4). A half-decent Level 3 or lower beater can utterly crush most game plans by virtue of being difficult to counter under this, because nobody runs wall monsters anymore, unless your opponent specifically saves up Counters to drop a bigger monster (by which point you can also probably beat over their thing). Welcome back to caveman YGO for a good few turns, if you get this turn 1.

 

Along the lines of Number Wall giving Numbers the Number Clause, create a Spell/Trap that conveys the missing anime effect of a monster that got neutered IRL. Try your best to make it narrow enough to avoid abuse without outright naming the thing you're trying to give back its glory. Examples:

•REDMD gaining its ability to negate Spells and its 400 boost per Dragon in the Graveyard.

•Blue-Eyes Shining having the ability to pick and choose which effects work on it and a Quick field nuke during the Battle Phase.

•Meklord Astro Mekanikle could negate monster effects so long as you had a monster card on hand and a Synchro existed in a visible space, and could revive Meklords ignoring their Summoning conditions.

•Starving and Greedy Venom both did burn damage when they nuked the field, and negated the effects of monsters whose effects they copied.

Curse of the 6-point Star

Continuous Spell Card

Activate this card by paying 500 LP. While this card is face-up on the field, all Battle Damage you take becomes 0. During your Standby Phase, pay 1000 LP or destroy this card. When this card is destroyed, except by its own effect (Quick Effect): You can activate "Herald of the 6-point Star" from your hand or Deck.

 

It's funny because the monster I chose is anime-exclusive, but the original monster for the "Herald" spell/trap was actually released and its effect got pretty damn neutered, so as not to spoil Draconus297's fun...

 

Next: Herald of the 6-point Star (If you caught my gig)

                                 or

A spell/trap card that recycles itself. Think Butterfly Dagger - Elma, but much much less broken.

Herald of the 6-point Star

Continous Trap

Once per Battle Phase, if a monster your opponent controls is destroyed by battle: Gain LP equal to destroyed monster's ATK. During your Standby Phase, pay 1000 LP or destroy this card. When this card is destroyed, except by its own effect (Quick Effect): Pay 500 LP, place this card to top of your Deck.

Darkest Hour

Darkest Hour

Normal Trap

If this is the only card in your hand, you can activate it from your hand. If your LP would be reduced to 0 by battle or your opponent's effect: Your LP become 50, also banish all cards on the field, then both players draw until they have 5 cards in their hand. Neither player can activate cards or effects in response to this card or its activation. You can only activate 1 "Darkest Hour" per Duel.

 

Create a card that sets up a fun casual combo with one move, while being only mildly restrictive so it can maybe kinda have some vague competitive use. For example, a card that Foolishes a Level 2 or lower non-Tuner monster, then adds a Tuner with the same Type and 1 Level higher from your Deck to your hand; sets up the anime Speed Warrior/Junk Synchron combo, but is vaguely maybe flexible.

Seed of Destruction

Continuous Spell

Activate 1 "Black Garden" from your hand, Deck, or GY, then Special Summon 1 "Black Rose Token" (Plant/DARK/Level 4/ATK 1600/DEF 800) to your opponent's side of the field.  While your opponent controls a token, they cannot target monsters on the field with card effects except tokens.  If "Black Garden" leaves the field, destroy this card.  If this card is destroyed, you can target 1 Plant or "Rose Dragon" monster in your GY; Special Summon it.

 

A Spell/Trap card that has no beneficial activation effect, but has an effect when sent/in the GY.

Miraculous Harakiri

Continuous Spell Card

Pay 1000 LP to activate this card. During each Standby Phase after the activation of this card, pay 1000 LP or destroy it. If this card is sent to the GY by an opponent's card effect or by its own effect while you had 1000 or less LP: Draw cards equal to the amount of LP paid divided by 1000.

 

Next: Master Kaiba's Escape Plan

Master Kaiba's Escape Plan

Quick-Play Spell

You cannot Summon non-LIGHT monsters, or monsters without an original Level, during the turn you activate this card. If you would take damage from your opponent's attack or effect: Negate that damage, also Special Summon up to 3 (min. 1) Level 8 or higher LIGHT Dragon monsters, or Level 1 LIGHT Tuners, with the same name from your hand or Graveyard. If this card Summoned "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" this way, all monsters you control whose original name is "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" gain the following effect:

●Once per turn, if your opponent's monster with less ATK than this card activates its effect on the field: You can destroy that monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the difference between this card's ATK and the ATK of the monster whose effect was activated.

You can only activate 1 "Master Kaiba's Escape Plan" per Duel.

 

Create a card that makes 1 or more all but useless old Spells (Hinotama, Goblin's Secret Remedy, De-Spell) far more useful, or even necessary on a competitive level.

Material Dealer

Quick-play Spell

Reveal 1 Fusion, Synchro, or XYZ monster in your Extra Deck with at least one specifically named material. Special Summon all the named materials for the monster revealed from your hand, deck or GY, ignoring their summoning conditions. Their effects are negated, and they are destroyed during the End Phase. Also, for the rest of the turn that you activated this card, you cannot summon any copies of the Extra Deck monster you revealed.

 

Really unsure if this is balanced enough or if it is broken or just too restrictive but that's why i like it

Shapeshifters_Tools.png

Shapeshifter's Tools/Continuous Spell Card

Once per turn: You can destroy 1 monster in your hand or face-up field with 1000 or more ATK, and if you do, add 1 monster from your Deck to your hand whose ATK/DEF is equal to that monster's ATK/DEF, but a different name. If this card is sent to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand with the same name as a monster added to your hand with the effect of "Shapeshifter's Tools" this turn. You can only use each effect of 'Shapeshifter's Tools" once per turn.

 

NEXT UP:

A Spell/Trap that invokes the rules of a different card game or format from Yu-Gi-Oh! within the Duel, whether trading (Magic: The Gathering, Force of Will, etc.) or otherwise (Poker, Blackjack, Uno, etc.). The catch? The card name cannot include the name of the card game you're echoing in the effect.

Stygian Sparrows

Field Spell

The turn player can activate this effect: Excavate the top card of your Deck, and, if it is a monster that has 2100 or less ATK, add it to your hand but keep it revealed, then send the top card of your Deck to the GY. If the combined total ATK of the revealed monsters exceeds 2100, banish them face-down. After you have finished excavating as many cards as you wish and have not banished them face-down, your opponent must also excavate and reveal cards in the same manner. If your opponent's revealed monsters' combined ATK is equal to or higher than the combined ATK of your revealed monsters (without exceeding 2100), send all your revealed monsters by this effect to the Extra Deck face-down. If their revealed monsters' combined ATK exceeds 2100, they must send all monsters revealed by this effect to the GY. If your revealed monsters' combined ATK is higher than you opponent's, inflict 2100 damage to their LP, then shuffle all revealed monsters except 1 back into your Deck. Spell/Trap cards excavated by this effect are immediately placed on the bottom of the Deck.

 

 

Sparrows Noir

Field Spell

The turn player can activate this effect: Excavate the top card of your Deck, and, if it is a monster, add it to your hand but keep it revealed, then send the top card of your Deck to the GY. If the combined total Levels of the revealed monsters exceed 21, banish them face-down. After you have finished excavating as many cards as you wish and have not banished them face-down by this effect, your opponent must also excavate and reveal cards in the same manner. If your opponent's revealed monsters' combined Levels are equal to or higher than the combined Levels of your revealed monsters without exceeding 21, send all your revealed monsters by this effect to the Extra Deck face-down, then you lose 2100 LP. If your opponent's revealed monsters combined Levels exceed 21, they must send all revealed monsters in their hand to the GY. If your revealed monsters' combined Levels are higher than you opponent's, inflict 2100 damage to their LP, then shuffle all revealed monsters except 1 back into your Deck. Spell/Trap cards excavated by this effect are immediately placed on the bottom of the Deck.

 

2 for the price of 1. It's Blackjack now. What you get for winning: Damaging your opponent and a free monster search. What you get for losing to yourself: A light punishment. What you get for losing to your opponent: Say goobye to your monsters, they aren't coming back.

 

EDIT: Added clause to simulate burning cards so that it is no longer an instant search for all 5 Exodia pieces if you run a Deck of nothing but Spells and Traps with only those 5 monsters.

Utopia

The trick? It's a Field Spell that must directly function as anti-support to the "Utopia" monster archetype.

Utopia - The War that Never Ends

Field Spell

While this card is face-up on the field, cards and effects cannot be activated during the Battle Phase. If this card is in your GY during the Battle Phase when your opponents activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): Banish this card face-down, then negate the effect and end the Battle Phase. You can't activate this effect on the same turn this card was sent to the GY. 

pretty simple, pretty effective

Next: A card that supports Normal Monsters. The catch is it must not contain any kind of effect related to Normal or Special Summoning.
