Yugioh in MTG Final
Custom Cards forum
Posted on March 22, 2023, 1:30 p.m. by Stardragon
This is my final yugioh conversion to mtg as you guys seem to have lost interest in it seeing as how no one commented on part 5 and only 1 commented on part 4

I don't mean this as an accusation, or as blindly stating the obvious, but this is a Magic forum. Not everyone is going to have the same depth of knowledge about other topics, even fairly adjacent ones. I'm willing to comment on these as Magic cards, but I'm with FormOverFunction at this point. I recognized most of the part 1 cards, some of parts 2 and 3, and now I don't have any context for how similar these cards are to the originals.

legendofa FormOverFunction IK it's mtg and not a yugi forum, but yes i would like everyone's comments even if you don't know yugioh tell what you think of these as MTG cards.

It's going to take me a couple of days, but I'll give these a review.

This will focus more on the text box than on the costs and stat lines, so those are still up for review.
Gaia, the Fierce Knight might be better served as a kicker-style card. Tracking a first strike counter would be a lot easier than tracking the rules text it doesn't have.
Curse of Dragon is pretty good. It's more of a build-around card, since flying + either means it won't be blocked often. You're going to need another source of -1/-1 counters. Maybe Crumbling Ashes + Blowfly Infestation?
Does Honest gain the stats of the creature you control or the creature blocking/blocked by the creature you control? The wording's a little ambiguous.
I don't know if this is your intent or not, so I'll make it a straight observation, but the Ward on Goyo Guardian is somewhat worse than Ward . You can tap two lands, a land and a token, a token and a planeswalker, or any other combination of two permanents. This one is a big glass cannon.
Stardust Dragon needs a sentence break and some more punctuation. This might be a good place to use stun counters to track which permanents are tapped for its effect. Or just give it hexproof, since it's almost there. Between ward and optional targeting denial, I know I wouldn't target it except as a last desperate resort. Pure hexproof is less interesting, but it will be functionally the same most of the time.
In Red Dragon Archfiend's "When this creature attacks and deals combat damage," cut the "attacks and." It's redundant with combat damage. This is an all-out aggro card. This one can get live testing, but I'm sure it would get tweaked some more, maybe become slightly faster and less punishing, but weaker stats and buffs.
Re-templating Black Rose Dragon: "When ~ enters the battlefield, you may destroy all other nonland permanents and put a drought counter on ~. This counter remains on ~ as it moves to any zone other than a player’s hand or library.
Exile a Plant creature from your graveyard: Target creature has base power and toughness 0/1, loses and can't gain indestructible, shroud, hexproof, and deathtouch, and must block this turn if able. Activate this ability no more than once per turn, and only if there are three or more nonland permanents on the battlefield and if ~ has a drought counter on it." This is another case where less might be more. There are a lot of effects and restrictions here that more or less work out to "target creature dies in combat." And the creature can still be regenerated, or have protection, or damage prevention, or...
Ancient Fairy Dragon is pretty good. Very heavily anti-enchantment, so abusable with Enchanted Evening. I would require destroying four enchantments (no "up to", compare Hex) and drop the life gain down to 1 or maybe 2 per enchantment, using Fracturing Gust, Paraselene, and Cursebreak as references. The first ability is pure pillowfort value.
Please define "card effect" for Black-Winged Dragon. Is it anything that targets you? A triggered or activated ability that targets you? Instant or sorcery? Some combination of the above?
Lifestream Dragon is another card I would make legendary. At six mana, it's very powerful. Even with legendary, it's probably safe to tune it down somewhere.

I really like the work you’ve put into all of these! Sadly I don’t know a damned thing about yugioh, so I won’t be good for any conversation...
