New Element: Space series https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=37131.msg465735#msg465735

This is just a series with a new element, space, which is mainly themed toward field movement and (not to be redundant) spaces on the board. There has been a lot of hype about slot effects, whether it be creatures, permanents, individual, or field effects. Anyway I'm really excited about all these and wanted to make some of my own.

I thought of this while also thinking about Bloodshadow's void series ( which happens to be right here, believe me its awesome:D  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21514.0.html ). Although I know zanz is not to keen on adding new elements, I really wanted void to take off. Then I thought, what would be the thematic opposite to void (like fire and water/ death and life/etc.) ? It would be space imo. So here it is, more coming soon.

If I happen to make a card that is virtually the same as another card, please message me and give me a link to your card, so I can either take my card down or give you credit.

Enjoy ;)

I think that's a pretty neat idea. Shouldn't the upped mark generate space quanta when played?

Interesting, Bird, I will see where you go with this.

Marks don't do that only towers do, i think.

Here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,33117.0.html) is a sample mark I grabbed.

On topic: I'm a bit curious to see what you do with this, though to me gravity seems to encompass the space area atm.

I like the idea of implementing positioning control, but I feel adding a new element for it would be redundant - Aether represents space already, and there's also been some position-control cards suggested for Air.

Yeah I know gravity fans will probably disapprove, but i always saw gravity as having to do with the weight of creatures, not their positions imo

I thought aether had more to do with energy itself. Anyway, I think I've seen a position based card for half of the elements, especially air, and i think it really will become the next big mechanic (hopefully)

Haha Both of these comments are pretty funny as I was just about to post my new card, which violates both of your concerns, oops :)). Anyway, I stand by it and put a little apology to both gravity and aether, you'll see why in the notes section lol

NOTES:
Basically, when you play this card, you get to choose where to put it on the creature board. After you've placed it though, thats it, no more moving.

I'm imagining the main race associated with space energy to be some sort of sentient machines, much like the Geth in mass effect. I know this will anger some diehard gravity fans (they are thematically associated with technology). This one in particular is a shock trooper with the same functionality of paratroopers in the military; elites that are deployed where they are needed most. Instead of falling out of the sky though, these machines bend the space around them to appear at their destination almost instantaneously (sorry to aether too). The technology is crude, not very accurate, and takes quite a while to recharge,  but it gets them close to where they are needed.

Hohoo, seems nice.
Say, what would the Blink Striker's effect be used to? Avoid Flooding, that's my first thought, but then what?
Or maybe it's in the upcoming support cards?

I can see this having some potential. Keep up the good work.
