Traps: Typical capitalization stuff. Then too many of these are Counter Traps, which are the highest Spell Speed there is, and can only be trumped by another Counter Trap. In fact, none of these has to be a Counter Trap. You also seem to make a lot of attack negation cards.

Xyz Monsters: "Beast-Type monsters", not "beast monsters". "Sacred White Fang" needs to have it specified whether you're increasing ATK or DEF.
Most of this is going to be nitpicking over OGG.



Traps and Extra Deck are next.
Three way Duel: Korbin vs Kaeru vs Zack; GO! XD

They all have a complex about losing, yet SOMEONE would have to lose.

Also, you forgot the pompous Hokuto Shijima, who apparently has a soft spot for Synchros . . . or Todo Yaiba. Haven't figured out which, yet.
Alright. Time to check some stuff and do some more updates. *whistles*

I really need to get a life XD
フォング - The "Fang" part of "Silver Fang"
ファング - The "fang" part of "Naturia Spiderfang" and "Flyfang"

Japanese is different and capitalization is different. I don't think they're the same archetype. However, "Silver Fang" can be involved with the rest of the "Fang" monsters.
Would Flyfang technically be considered part of the archetype? I know capitalization typically matters.

Hmm . . . let me look into this

EDIT: Honestly, they look good to me, Scar. If Empire agrees I'll add them to the first post
@Char: I'm not saying "Silver Fang" can't be included in this Archetype. I was just pointing out card grammar stuff.

@Empire: That's right. Didn't notice that. Thanks, again :)
Oh, on the Man-Eaters, the reason I left "Man-Eating Black Shark" out most of the time is that he's a Fusion Monster and therefore can't be in your Deck or your hand. However, he can be in the Graveyard, which was why he was included in "Caramel's" effect. If you think I should fix it, I will, but I'm just offering my explanation.

And thanks for those grammar catches, there. Those two cards were kind of made on-the-spot yesterday. :)
I'll probably end up ninja'd, but here goes.

It wasn't that the card itself was bad. It's that it was improper card grammar.

Firstly, all archetypes should use proper capitalization in the card effect, or the card(s) the effect is looking for will fail to exist. Example: If an effect is looking for any form of "Elemental HERO" or "Destiny HERO", but the card text says "Hero", then instead of "Elemental HERO" and "Destiny HERO" monsters, we get "Heroic Challenger" monsters simply because of capitalization.

Secondly, saying a card gains "200 attack" is improperly saying that a monster can attack 200 times. This, of course, is irrational. That's why there is the term "ATK". Though you pronounce this term "Attack", it has a completely different meaning that the basic word "attack". This is similar to how in English, we have "they're" (they are), "their" (belonging to them), and "there" (a location). The same goes for "DEF" vs. "Defense".

Thirdly, there are terms that, no matter what, are capitalized when writing card effects. These are: "Summon" (and any distinction of Summoning form mentioned beforehand, such as "Normal", "Special", "Fusion", etc.), "Monster" ONLY when preceded by a specific monster type ("Effect Monster", "Ritual Monster", "Synchro Monster", etc.; NEVER use "Monster Card" unless speaking about a "Monster Card Zone"), "Spell/Trap Card" (and any kind of special "Spell/Trap Card"), "Zone", "Deck", "Graveyard", "Extra Deck", and any monster type ("Warrior-Type", "Beast-Type", etc.). Examples of terms that you shouldn't capitalize are "field", "hand", and "banish(ed)".

Fourthly, ALWAYS put archetypes or parts of card names in quotation marks when used in card text. If you have a card that is supposed to search for a "Dark Magician" from your Deck, but don't put "Dark Magician" in quotation marks, then it breaks the card effect.

Finally, when speaking of monster types, NEVER leave off the suffix "-Type". This is because a "Warrior" and a "Warrior-Type monster" are two completely different things. a "Warrior" is a monster with "Warrior" in its name. For example: "Junk Warrior", "Stardust Warrior", etc. A "Warrior-Type monster" could be "Dark Blade", "Buster Blader", "Gaia the Fierce Knight", etc.

Just try to stick to this. There's more, but those are some of the most important rules to stick to.
Or, I guess my family's not going to church this morning. Looks like I'm sticking around here a while.
