Why did I start this page... Nevertheless, now that it exists, I shall provide some info as to what you can expect to see from my presence here.

My Presence
I found my way to this wiki from the [Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page]. I visit that site in particular very often, to continually strengthen my knowledge of the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. I like the site's convenient access to Rulings as well as the many other details involved with each and every card. I try to remain as close as possible to mastery of the rules, and may be doing a good job, but I still make mistakes since there are so many circumstances.

Dueling
I duel on average twice a month, and primarily with just two close friends. While I even have YuGiOh Virtual Dueling, I don't plan to open up to other duelists easily. I don't like what many people have turned the game into. I cringe everytime I hear the term "OTK". I duel by Traditional Format only, because myself and my friends can be trusted to not abuse cards. My top philosophy is "I have a deck of 40 cards, I'd like to use 39 of them". The longer the duel the better. The outcome is irrelevant if it was a good match.

I've been with the card game essentially as long as it has been around (the gap being only a matter of weeks). By comparison to how long it's been around, I've been making custom cards almost as long. Only within the past year have I looked outward to the presence of other people making custom cards.

Custom Card History
My first implementation of a custom card system featured a mediocre edited background and inverted colors, card pictures were taken from preexisting cards and edited in a number of ways. If I felt something needed to be changed or brought into existence, I did so. Cards were printed on ordinary printer paper which was cut and glued to the cardboard of generic folders. They were distributed through a "Star Points" system, having to earn or gamble Star Points to then purchase a desired card. That system I eventually came to dislike and scrapped it (or maybe I can say it imploded upon itself).

Despite disliking the general concept and the difficulties of custom cards, I have implemented a new system among my friends. Card backgrounds have been edited in high detail by myself and will be their natural colors (with major "custom" distinctions), so their type is still identifiable at a glance. Rather than creating redundant cards, card creation will require a specific recipient in mind when creating it. Then rather than hindering distribution with a means of purchasing, the planned recipient will either receive the card as a gift or as a reward for a simple task of entertainment (such as simply playing a good match in a particular video game). Though the biggest focal point, in showing how serious I am about my custom card system, I shall be creating original images for the cards themselves.

Custom Cards
All cards I create will be released as one set, labelled either JCCS or TCCS (depending on use of my alias or not in the actual release). They will be assigned numbers in sequence of when they were created (specifically when I've finished creating the entire card image). I will also attempt to make use of the "Other Card Information" section on card templates, including Rulings, Tips, Errata, and Trivia.

I would generally prefer that people not edit any cards I put up, because they all have real-world equivalents. If a change needs to be made to details of the card, that will be reflected in both the wiki and real versions. Though there is the inherent fact that by putting them on this wiki, the community is officially in control of the page. Perhaps with the exception of Trivia and Tips sections, communicate any changes with me to bring my attention to the matter.

Forced Fusion
The first major focal point in my modern system is the card titled "Forced Fusion". Its concept had been in development for a long time, but Dark Fusion helped finalize the concept. The idea is to be a gateway to fusions that aren't intended to happen, and the focus in this regard is Dark Magician fused with Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Many fusions will feature cards not normally found in the same deck, so it has a costly secondary effect to use your opponent's monster if they have it. All fusion monsters of the Forced Fusion concept will have the following text: By saying "except by", it allows the Fusion Monster to be special summoned by most means such as Polymerization. With the "from the Extra Deck" condition, you can still revive it from the Graveyard like a normal Fusion Monster.
 * If this monster is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck except by the effect of "Forced Fusion", it is destroyed during the End Phase.
