Forum:Featured Card Issues

I hate to say it, but whoever's been writing the last few Featured Cards is just plain awful. Not only does it provide any more info than just chatter, there's no useful analysis of the card or how to play it.

Also, shouldn't a writer at least try to be a bit more formal with the language used in these reviews?

Text like this has nothing to do with the actual card itself. It's just editorializing:

* How will this card affect the Metagame in the near future? You could say only time will tell, however if you look at the success of this card’s impact on the OCG. Frog Monarchs, aka Frognarchs, have made a good use of this card in the OCG, as well as Formula Synchron, Swap Frog, Fishborg Blaster, Ronintoadin, and the recently unlimited Treeborn Frog. Considering that the OCG is a good barometer for the impact cards will have in the TCG, it’s safe to say that Effect Veiler has a lot of playtime to come.

Text like this is not analysis. Also, how do you get into a discussion about D.D. Crow? Stick to the card:

* With the upcoming format killing some decks, and making others more viable, the Metagame is going to change. The question now becomes, which do you find more problematic, the presence of cards in the graveyard, or the effect of the monster that hits the field? Effect Veiler stops the problem when it arrives on the field, and D.D. Crow’s goal is to stop it from happening to begin with by hitting key cards in the graveyard. The potential of both cards is clear, but you don’t always have room for both, as they’re likely to take up the same slot in your main or side deck.

If anyone is thinking about doing this Featured Card segments, then would it be so hard to actually do the job? Stick to the card, give good/in-depth analysis and avoid the cliches of trying to use one card to predict the entire meta!

Question: Why isn't there a featured card article for each new pack for the yugioh wiki site? And why do featured cards take so long to change? --184.96.223.211 (talk) 01:39, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Probably because the Featured Card changes monthly or something. It's been a while since the last time I saw that discussion on how often the Featured Card should change though. --Gadjiltron (talk • contribs) 07:16, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

How are the featured cards decided anyways? And I agree, I would like them more often. We have averaged about a featured card every 2 months (24 months/12 featured cards), which I think is a bit too long...--BassNettoHikari2 (talk • contribs) 15:11, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
