YGO Card Name Game

Dark Snake Syndrome - Kills you eventualy - death, Happens every turn - Periodic
"Synd" rome Synd looks and kinda sounds like sand

I don't know but we've just about exhausted every yugi card bout ready to start guessing Magic The Gathering Cards

Now Labyrinth of Nightmare isn't still in that someone moves at the end of every turn and I don't kow what a homophone is - maybe Night for night time and mare for Horse
 
Allright since the guesses have dried up, i'll help out a bit, then give the right answer before i go to bed., if that's not enough.

""¦ with death"¦" "It's all greek to me."

Much like we used the Skull and Crossbone to indicate that something could be fatal (e.g. Household chemicals) the Greek letter 'theta' was used to warn of the danger of death. But our alphabet combines letters to get what other languages have in a single letter. These clues only indicate that the letters "th" appear like that in the card name. (which leaves ~300 cards that it could be.)

Ignore: "Is it jargon or a foreign language" That clause was just there for grammar (so that "all greek to me" and "pirates crying in agreement" could squeeze into one clue.
--
"Not still, Despite what you might hear" Is the only clue you need to figure out what the card is. As this one can only point to this one card if it solved correctly.
 
The answer:

"¦ with death.
pirates "¦ All greek to me.
As explained earlier, the greek symbol for death was the letter Theta. (Used like the Skull and crossbone that are used on Poisons, or the Jolly Roger of the Pirates. Theta = Th

I don't owe you an answer yet.
Another hint about the letters. "owe you" = o u

with abundant elements.
Oxygen and silicon are the most abundant element in the earth's crust. Silicon Dioxide = Sand.

sand, o, u, th.

The first clue was before death.
A first
This episode has been brought to you by the letter "M."
These clues point to one of the words in the text. M = one thousand in Roman Numerals. Thousand is the first counting number to contain the letter "A."
Th-o-u-sand.

Pirates crying "¦
crying in agreement.
Homophone

If you're agreeing to something you might vote "Aye" (All for, AYE, all opposed, NEIGH.. the AYES have it...). And there is the "aye-aye Captain" that you might hear on a ship.
Aye= Eye

Thousand-eyes

Now for the easy part:

Not still, despite what you might hear.
Saying that you might hear 'still.' A synonym of still is "idle." But it's not still so it can't be idle, it has to be "Idol"

Perhaps a bit too cyptic. Maybe it's just me, but the clues seem to be getting unneccesarily hard and decidedly more vauge. This thread was more fun when there was a least a chance of guessing what the card was. Now I feel like I've used all my Life Lines and desperatly need to phone a freind. Even if my friend's an idiot.
 
That depends. Am I your friend, sir? If so, then yes.

I don't think the clues are too cryptic until no one gets it. There's nothing wrong with having these puzzles drag on for pages, that's what good brainteasers are about. But frankly, DaGuy, when YOU give up on us, it's just plain too hard. Really, if the puzzle maker gets discouraged, imagine what the puzzle solvers are feeling.

So who's next?
