RP-only Errata:
NOTE: The following text changes apply at all times during Roleplay.[/b][/u][/color]
- Clear Vice Dragon
[Lv8; DARK; Dragon/Effect; ATK?//DEF0; This card is not treated as a DARK monster while it is face-up on the field. If this card attacks, it gains ATK equal to twice the ATK of the monster it battles until the end of the Damage Step. At the end of a Battle Phase in which this card attacks, it is switched to Defense Position. By discarding 1 card, negate the activation of a card effect that would destroy this card. By discarding 1 card when this card would be destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed.]

- Elemental Hero Bubbleman
[Lv4; WATER; Warrior/Effect; ATK800//DEF1200; If this is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it. When this card is Summoned, you can draw 2 cards if there are no other cards on your side of the field.]

- Kuribon (Is spelled "Kuribbon" in-game)
[Lv1; LIGHT; Fairy/Effect; ATK300//DEF200; When your opponent's monster attacks you directly, you can reduce that Battle Damage to 0 and Special Summon this card from your hand after Damage Calculation. If your opponent's monster declares this card as an attack target, you can reduce all Battle Damage from that battle to 0 and return this card to your hand after the battle. The controller of the monster targeted by this card's effect gains Life Points equal to that monster's ATK.]

- Clear World
[Field Spell; Apply the following effects to a player depending on the Attribute(s) of their monsters:
●LIGHT: Play with your hand revealed.
●DARK: You cannot declare an attack.
●EARTH: Destroy 1 monster you control during your End Phase.
●WATER: Discard one card from your hand during your End Phase.
●FIRE: During your End Phase, receive 1000 damage.
●WIND: If you do not pay 2000 Life Points, you cannot activate a Spell Card.]
(If you're wondering what's different, controlling a WIND monster doesn't block you from activating spell cards at all now; instead you have to pay a hefty cost.)

- Take Over 5
[Normal Spell; Send the top 5 cards from your Deck to your Graveyard. If this card exists in your Graveyard during your next Standby-Phase, you can remove this card from play to draw 1 card. While this card is in your Graveyard, negate the effects of your cards that send cards from your Deck to your Graveyard.]

- Clockwork Knight
[Continuous Spell; As long as this card remains face-up on the field, all face-up monsters your opponent controls become Machine-Type and reduce their ATK by 500. Increase the ATK of "Robotic Knight", "Machine King" or "Perfect Machine King" you control by 500.]

- Power Balance
[Normal Trap; Activate only when there are no cards in your hand. Your opponent discards half the cards in their hand to the graveyard. If they have an odd number of cards in their hand, that number is rounded up. After this card resolves, draw 1 card from your deck for every card your opponent discarded this way.]

- Nightmare Shuffle
[Continuous Spell; Select 1 Spell or Trap card at random in your Graveyard and set it in one of your empty Spell & Trap Card Zones. During your next Standby Phase, switch that card with another random Spell or Trap card in your Graveyard. When you activate the card set by this effect, send this card to the Graveyard.]



Verz Bahamut
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; discard 1 "Verz" or "Steelswarm" monster from your hand and take control of the target. As long as you control that mosnter: it is treated as a DARK Monster and it gains 50 ATK and DEF.

RP-only Rulings:
NOTE: These Rulings apply at all times during Roleplay.
- Dark Tuner monsters are treated as Tuner monsters for the purposes of card effects. e.g. You may select a Dark Tuner monster with the effect of "Tuning".
- Dark Synchro monsters are treated as Synchro monsters for the purposes of card effects. e.g. You can activate "Synchro Blast Wave" when a Dark Synchro monster is on the field. When a Synchro monster destroys a Dark Synchro monster by battle and Synchro Destructor is activated, its effect inflicts damage twice because Dark Synchro monsters are also treated as Synchro monsters for the purposes of card effects.
- Kuribon's first effect which reduces Battle Damage to 0 and Special Summons itself activates in the Damage Step and does not target.
- Kuribon's second effect which reduces Battle Damage to 0, returns itself to your hand and increases your opponent's Life Points does target.
- Clockwork Knight's first effect which changes the Type and ATK of the opponent's monsters is Continuous.
***This can be added as needed.***

Please Do Not:
Synchro Spam
Xyz Spam
Fusion Spam
Abuse cards.





***All Aces are restricted to one, and all cards in the extra deck are restricted to one.***

It is HIGHLY encouraged to make your deck as close to it's theme as possibly. However, I will be willing to compromise.


If you have suggestions, or valid reasons for why a card should or should not be banned, PM me with your card and reason.

Please note, that this is subject to change.
