I hear he can't spell "Commodore."

I have a holographic Forest Elemental, a badass old school card.

*removes mask* I was here all along! Mwahahaha! Now that I've learned at least one of your evil secrets, I'll-





take note of it.

All my references are just obscure enough that nobody ever notices them! Everyone always thinks they're just bad jokes or mistakes! D:

That's what your mother said.

about your birth.

[DedlellyDeth]

Do you have a templete? That sounds interesting.

No, sorry. Not good enough of a computer artist and I don't have a scanner. Could someone care to make a template?

FEATURES:

Front picture of monster in its natural habitat with the following translucently superimposed:

 *HP (Doesn't need to be a large number. Think DnD HP.)

 *Elemental Defense Multipliers for Blunt, Sharp, Liquid, Gas, Fire, Electricity (EXAMPLE: 3x Electricity for a Robot or -1x Liquid for a Water Nymph.)

 *Abilities, usually with Elemental Association and Damage Count (EXAMPLE: Flaming Arrow [Sharp] [Fire] 30 or Psionic Blast [None] - Stuns 1 Animal-type monster for 1 turn.)
 
 *Blank space for better view of monster

 *Description of monster with type (EXAMPLE: White Dragon's Master - Living>Animal>Walking>Human - Wizards have long fought with the enormous reptilians of Osland, attempting to tame them for use in battle. This man has succeeding in that task, and now has the awesome power of blizzards at his hand.)

I think that the features should be in that order from top to bottom, with HP in the upper left corner in the same row as Defense. The Elements I think should be abstract symbols with numbers superimposed on them.

I don't know if that's harsh or awesome...

I could give it a try. I'd relay like to try this out. Ever since i quit YGO I've been starving for some strategy in card game.

I used to play Pokemon, but recently a friend of mine has got me playing Yugioh. I hate the game, but for some reason collecting the cards is somewhat addicting...

For the most part, I just use YVD (online Yugioh program) if I want to play some children's card games. Collecting the real cards is far too expensive, and I have way better things to waste my money on.


EDIT: If anyone wants to waste some time... http://www.yugiohcardmaker.net/

Whoever created the tcg really is something of a genius.

"I'm telling you, kids will pay big money to buy bits of paper with pictures on"

[TGF]

Dude, I used to have a Holographic Gardevoir EX. That thing ROCKED.
As did my Blaziken!

[Rahl]

I remember over here there was a Dollar Store that sold ripoff ygo cards with the exact same pictures and discriptions, just not ygo on the back. And they were all super rare cards lol.

[Terradont]

I played Yu-gi-oh! & pokémon. I also collected Digimon, Magic: The gathering and one other TCG i cannot remember at the moment.
I was more of a collector than a player, but i got pretty good at Yu-gi-oh! xD

That's my point. What is practically different about these two products? Nothing. And yet one of them is a "ripoff".

[Rahl]

Well its a rip off because if they were actually a part of the game then the rares wouldn't be rares anymore and everyone would have the best cards, and thats whats fun about tcg's, that you collect common cards and try to get what rare ones you can. Just like it wouldnt mean anything to a baseball person if there were a billion Babe Ruth hand signed baseball cards.
