In Progress
The Support Project is almost complete. All pages have been reworked. There are, however, pages that could use a bit more help. linksto=Power 6000 or mor uses=Template:Cardtable

Other things to do
Create new tables on some race pages:

Darkness Angel Commands

Light Demon Commands

Light Hunters Do this for other Races that need them as well

Fix templates used below cardtables

Ideas I have

 * Make page for: Put into graveyard from anywhere
 * Category for creatures that can't be destroyed under certain conditions. (Can't be destroyed)
 * I think the Deck Collection needs some updates. Perhaps I should do add new decks.

Lists of cards with special attributes
Please keep in mind that these lists may not be complete.

Self Discard during the opponent's turn
This list does not contain all cards that can self discard during the opponent's turn. It contains what I consider (semi-)reliable self discards that can to a greater or lesser degree be used in Madness decks.

Cards that benifit from Self Discard

Thinking about adding new Category:Engine (message to Yami_Michael) Not yet ready
Hey Michael!

I'm thinking about adding the "Engine" or "System Creature" category. I have looked at the Draw Engine page a few times over the months and I feel like the page is inherently incomplete. Having consistent Draw is a fine addition to any deck, but one could argue that pursuing consistent Self Mill or Mana Acceleration is also a worthwile endeavor. I propose categorizing these cards as "Engines" or "System Creature".

Rough definition of an "Engine":
 * Able to be triggered consistently
 * Whenever one of your creatures wins a battle...
 * NOT: Whenever this creature wins a battle...
 * Whenever one of your fire creatures wins a battle... can be consistently triggered in the right deck. It should be considered an "engine". Other variations like Whenever one of your "race"/"civilization"/"card type"... can also be triggered consistently in the right decks.
 * At the start of each of your turns...
 * Whenever your opponent draws a card...
 * Asteria, Spirit of Heaven's Blessing's effect may or may not be consistent enough to be considered an "engine"
 * Whenever one of your creatures leaves the battle zone...
 * Whenever a creature is put into the battle zone...
 * Whenever you put a creature into the battle zone...
 * Whenever a creature leaves the battle zone/is destroyed...
 * Whenever your creatures leaves the battle zone/is destroyed...
 * etc.
 * Positive effect for the owner of the card
 * Negative effects for the opponent are considered Lockdown (or if the consequence is too inconsequential, it should not be considered Lockdown.)
 * While cards like Burial Worm, the Burying Insect might have effects considered negative effects in certain decks, they have positive effects in others. They are considered "engines".
 * Provides Shield Addition, Mana Acceleration, Card Draw/Hand Addition, Graveyard Fertilizer, (mana untap?,) puts creatures into the battle zone or casts spells for no cost.
 * Has a Static Ability
 * All card types that can have static abilities are qualifiable for being an "engine"
 * Spells, by nature, do not provide static abilities. They are therefore excluded.
 * Cards like Noble Enforcer have static abilities under certain conditions. They are considered "engines".
 * Not triggered by attacking or blocking
 * This is due to the unreliability of attacking (Shield Triggers, Ninja Strike, Strike Back, adding cards to the opponent's hand, etc.) and blocking (Unblockable, Blocker Removal, etc.)

A few examples of "Engines":
 * Graveyard Engine
 * Romanesk, the Dragon Wizard
 * Burial Worm, the Burying Insect


 * Mana Engine
 * Zundoko Sunny Stage, Flowery Way of D
 * Sieg Nachtfalter (+ pseudo-draw engine)
 * Totenton (+ draw engine)
 * Don Dodofel, Raging Battle Dragon (+ draw engine)
 * Terraform, Kenda Magic
 * Shura Beethoven, Zenith of "Hadou"


 * Draw Engine <-- has its own page


 * Shield Addition
 * Ov Sidia DG
 * Endless Heaven, True Holy Church


 * Puts creature into battle zone or casts spell
 * Amidanazca, Super Destiny


 * Also this entire cycle --> Soelbo_Crawler/Trivia. They are triggered by 8-cost creatures and spells

+ many, many more

A few questions: 1. What do you think about this idea? 2. What should the category be called? 3. What do you think an "Engine" should be defined by? 4. Any other relevant ideas?
