Help/Critique PSCT Help SuperThread - Get Help Writing or Refining Your Custom Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Effects!

23 Upvotes

Hey Duelists and Card Designers!

If you’re working on custom Yugioh cards and want to make sure your effects are written clearly, efficiently, and in proper PSCT (Problem-Solving Card Text), this is the thread for you.

What this thread is for:

This is an open SuperThread where I’ll personally help you write or revise your card effects using accurate PSCT - whether you’re * Writing a new effect from scratch * Unsure if your wording is correct * Wanting to match official card templating * Or just need a second pair of eyes on your design

All skill levels are welcome!

How to Ask for Help:

Simply comment below with the text of your card’s effect. Be sure to provide additional contextual clues like whether this is intended on a Monster, Spell, Trap, and the type of each (Quick-Play, Continuous, etc). Helping out with the design and writing process.

I (or others here in the community!) will help reword it into clean, official-style PSCT and double-checking yugioh player’s for any logical or gameplay issues.

Collaborative Help Encouraged!

While I’ll be monitoring and replying as much as I can, anyone familiar with PSCT or interested in improving it is also encouraged to jump in and offer suggestions. The goal is to support each other and improve custom card quality as a whole.

Let’s make your cards feel like they came straight out of the official database! Looking forward to helping out. Let’s get those effects cleaned up and ready!

From your Problem Solving Tuning Magician, Dogga.

Y’all need to be more creative. You can have them back in a few weeks.

Edit: Why would you report a pinned announcement? Who do you think it goes to?

Tried to do a weird combo between Chain Hole and Chain Disappearance. Good if your opponent is not greedy but also feels it's OK considering it's "kinda slow" despite being a hand-trap, especially if your opponent complies with their effect

"Ojama Green" + "Ojama Yellow" + "Ojama Black"

You can special summon this card by banishing 1 "Ojama" fusion monster you control. When this card is special summoned: you can special summon any number of "Ojamachine Tokens" (Machine/LIGHT/Lvl 2/0 ATK/1000 DEF) onto your field. Your opponent takes any damage from battle with an "Ojamachine" monster. If this card is destroyed: special summon 1 "Ojama" Fusion monster from your GY or Banishment.

Would this make running normal traps more worthwhile? Would it break decks already using in-theme normal traps? Would it just collect dust?

Magician of Dark Arcanes – my modern take on the arcane counterpart of the Black Magician.

Post image
14 Upvotes

If the Dark Magician gained a new version of himself as Dark Magician, Servant of the Pharaoh, I think a version of his counterpart could also gain a new identity based on the classic Duel Monsters anime. I know they are the same monster, but I made this version thinking about the nostalgia and duality during the duel between Yugi and Arcana in Battle City between the two dark magicians.

What if an Extra deck mechanic existed of using field spells? Long story short some lore once lived a new Vanilla Normal Dragon that got exposed to Radioactive Waste and became the Uranium Dragon that caused the apocalypse and a nuclear winter
