Give me the average defense for a monster and also would the abilty "Mimic - Can mimic any summon's stats on the field" be ok to use for an abilty?

You should probably "mimic-Symbol Symbol", defining which stat it copies. To copy and entire row or column you'd just use one symbol. To mimic ALL stats just us mimic.

Average defense is the same as average attack, however, as defense isn't as tactically manevurable as attack, it does raise cost up as much.

Hello Dark, awesome idea you have going there! If you'd like, I can try to help out. I have Adobe Photoshop, a keyboard and a mouse! So yey... Very Happy

Edit: Decided to do it for fun now, I had nothing else to do so why not... right? I don't know if your cards are coded into a game and needs to be made in separate pieces, but here's a little revamp of your card, feel free to use this layout. A lot of this was made using the pencil tool [1px dot, doh] so it took me like an hour or so I guess... maybe two since I "phail".

Just a few suggestions, instead of using symbols for your stats, I recommend using actual text - it will help new-player immensely.

I also resized it because your current card is waaaay too big. I don't know why, you probably have a good reason i.e., coding purposes perhaps? Either way, real life cards are much smaller than the current one, and last time I checked, the Earth was bigger than my monitor. D:

A simple passer-by throwing his two-cents in, he wants a penny back by the way, if you use this layout do give credit. Otherwise, this is free to distribute, steal, copy, sell, whatever the hell you want to do with it. Just-give-me-credit-damnit.

Uber Edit: I just realized this is an extremely old topic, I really hope you didn't scrap the project or anything. o-o;

Enjoy,

The project is still in working-ish. I'm a bit frustrated with the coding right now, so I'm not working on it immidietly. I was going to make a new thread if I made any more progress.

I do appreciate your interest by the way, but I can't see the picture. If you want to make further discussions, please make a new topic.

The current size of the pictures is primarily so I can print them and put them into magic sized card cases with as much details as possible.

You can't se the picutrE? I uploaded it on image-shack as a .jpg file =[. Here's the direct URL, I don't hae access to my computer right now, so I can't re-upload it now. I'll look into it later.

Edit: Ah, I just got what you meant by printing them into magic sized cards... you mean you're using these as real life things? If so, I suggest NOT making them oversized, instead, use the dimensions of the card xP. When things are shrunk, they tend to look weird sometimes.

CJ Darkanjel · (Wed Jul 25, 2007 6:26 pm)

actually, I can't get them to print perfectly at that size, on word perfect I believe, I've done it before with made up magic cards.\

EDIT: I looked your design, qualitly wise its good, but three things.

1). I want to keep the symbols around the grid.
2). The layout is very futuristic looking, whereas the card game isn't.
3). There's signifigant amount of space that would be better spent on text area or picture.
