And here we have the best card ever added to ele- wait... Wait...

Welcome to the Weekly Card Design Challenge! Each week, the Curators will host a card design challenge with a certain theme or gimmick; for the rest of the week, your goal is to design the best card you can that works with the challenge! Once that week is up, a new weekly challenge will start and the current challenge will go into the Voting Phase! The winners of each poll will be awarded points; your current score can be found on the Monthly Leaderboard (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/exhibition-hall/card-designer-leaderboard/)!

Each month, the top 1-3 players on the Monthly Leaderboard will get a cool award icon, depending on the number of people that participated.

Amount of peoplePoints given/scored
31 point for first.
4-62 points for first, 1 point for second.
7-83 points for first, 2 second, 1 third. 7 gives 2 votes.
9-114 points for first, 3 second, 2 third, 1 fourth.
12-135 for first, 4 2nd, 3 3rd, 2 4th, 1 5th. 13 gives 3 votes.
14-166 for first, 5 2nd, 4 3rd, 3 4th, 2 5th, 1 6th.

BONUS: Being the final challenge of a month, ChotM's give two more points to anyone who would get points!

This week's challenge is to Make a card that affects spells!

Any type of card is fine. It can affect only a certain category of spells, but it must affect spells directly.

Don't put art in your card. Don't submit more than one card. Submit the upgraded and unupgraded.
Please submit your ideas in this thread - whether you make a separate thread for your card idea is up to you.

We are in the Voting Phase! There is A WAY TO COUNTER UNCOUNTERABLE SPELLS WHY Good luck!

I proposed this guy for openEtG a while ago. Its in there now and is surprising well balanced.

The ability lasts until its owner's next turn. It can consume the owner's spells as well, so that could be used to buff it in a pinch.

In open EtG it only has immunity to spell damage, so this guy might be a little on the strong side with full immunity.

Does not stack, so more Spell Masters on field won't mean higher damage.

NOTES:
For those who don't know, Alchemy cards are a special type of spell. One per element, they are essentially card versions of the abilities that their element's Nymph has. Eg Black Hole, Nymphs Tears, Rage Potion.

This card, as long as at least one is in play, essentially randomises their effects. You might click Rage Potion, try to select your target, then realise that you've played Precognition. Woops.

The unupped card affects both opponents, upped affects only you.

IDEA:
andretimpa
NOTES:
The unupped is intended to speed up your deck, while the upgraded is intended as anti-CC that can backfire if your opponent is willing to spend his buffs on you.

I think it's easier to understand what I mean with a bunch of examples

  • Lightning causes no Attack changes and reduces HP by 5. One unnuped makes the HP reduction 6 and the upped buffs HP by 5.
  • Blessing is +3|+3. The unupped changes this to +4|+4. The upgraded changes it to -3|-3.
  • Rage pot is +5|-5. The unupped changes it to +6|-6, the upgraded changes it to -5|+5.
  • The unupped makes BB increase HP by 21 and the upgraded turns your opponent's BB into (nearly) instakill cards.
  • If a creature has attack A, antimatter gives -2A|+0. The unupped changes this accordingly (will depend if you are antimattering an antimattered creature), while the upgraded makes your opponent's antimatters triple attack.
  • Abilities like 'snipe', 'guard', 'acceleration' are also affected, but things like 'infect' or Plague are not.
  • Player HPs are affected. This includes spells like miracle and heal, as well as permanent abilities like SoV, SoG, druid staff and creature abilities like voodoo, vampire and psion. This does not affect creatures with mommentum, as the ability only lets you pass through shields. Attacking is not an ability :P

Unique = doesn't stack (mainly because of AoE for the unupped and because it makes no sense imo for the upped). You can still use the unupped and upped together, as they never deal with the same spells/abilities.

Finally, when action and reaction deal with the same spells (one player has action, the other has reaction) then action goes first (mostly for thematic reasons).

I have a feeling the complexity of this one got a bit out of hand  :P

And in response (hey... I'm keeping with the theme here...)
@CleanOnion, Thats a very amusing mechanic... a little niche but I really like the potential for thematics there... Since you are focused on alchemy, what do you think of having it be "unstable reagents" or "tainted reagents" or "contaminated reagents" instead?

It reminds me of when I took a lab practical as an undergrad where somebody accidentally contaminated one of the reagent jar and it messed up the test for half the class.
@Discord
How would the reflection be resolved? I.e. would it hit random creatures or would the user pick a target?
@TiankPL ... it seems a little odd to have acceleration and overdrive affected. The damage is actually being done by the ability the spell creates but not by the spell itself... unlike rage potion which does directly apply damage.
... This would be very potent with AoE effects. It might be a little OP with psions.
@andretimpa would this apply to Miracle? The auto EM would certainly be popular... also, I'm assuming SoV would be affected as well, correct? That would be a nice side buff I think. I guess the upped version would act as a hard counter as well.
If you have action in play and your opponent has reaction, what is the order of effect?
Lastly, since psions do "spell damage" would action affect them as well?
@LinkCat
Interesting, but doesn't seem real useful. It would be interesting if it could push that status / ability onto other creatures though... Sort of a pseudo rewind then.
@Treladon
Interesting. Reminds me a little of the card "ricochet" that was posted a while back. I assume by "go astray" that some kind of random targeting would happen, correct? Or did you have something more dramatic in mind?
Sorry bout that Treldon.
Some of these are really cool this time around... I like timpa's a lot, but it could be a bit confusing to figure out.
TiankPL's seems very similar as well. I think timpa's "unique" idea is good though since it limits psion abuse which TiankPL's might have problems with.

I was only thinking about HP changes affecting creatures. I'll think a bit if it would remain balanced if players HPs are affected. I like the idea of nerfing psions/SoW by turning reaction into a mass antimatter for them.

Action goes first, mostly because of theme :P

You're right, I didn't think about it this way. The -1 hp occurs after turn ends, so it's not really direct damage. I'll change it.

*Can't ... resist... tangent conspiracy theory...*
Then that must mean that all house elves were Force wielders...

Maybe they were descendants of a lost race of jedi that fled when the empire began its extermination campaign and subsequently became lost during cryo sleep in the long dark between galaxies before arriving in our solar system...

Was Dobby actually a descendant of yoda? His race could have lost his greenish tinge as a result of generations spent on earth?...

Can muggles be transformed into magicians via a proper transfusion of Midi-chloritians?!

Were Salazar Slithrin and Tom Riddle actually descendants of the ancient Sith Emperor Lord Vitiate?!

Were the Deathly Hollows constructed using knowledge gleaned from ancient Sith and Jedi Holocrons!!!?

Only Luna knows for sure ;)

okay... gonna stop now before I break into Gree language patterns resulting in Blue nonogon inducing Green Perpendiculars.
okay, back on topic...
I actually like that card idea a lot. I think you should post it after the competition ends.
... If only there was a permanent or creature that could create an endless stream of alchemy...

Reaction affects both spells and abilities, but it does affect spells directly (ie: It's named on the card.)

Its a really hard choice between Contamination, Action/Reaction, and Snow Cloud.
I'm going to have to go with Snow Cloud though. It provides a very nice anti-CC in a quite unique way.
Even though the upkeep is pretty steep, limiting fairly strongly to :air :water duos (or perhaps quartet pillar builds in cygnia), it could still be quite useful in several archtypes. Gas, Nymph queen swarms and arctic toadfish spring to mind first.

This brings the scoreboard up to a healthy:
*Drumroll*

In first place, for this month, with 11 points...
Is Andretimpa! Andretimpa will be recieving gold. Conglaturation. Remember to bite into it to prove it's not lead.

In second place, for this month, with 10 points...
Is Treldon. Treldon will be receiving silver, and I congratulate him.

In third place, with a joint 5 points (It makes you wonder how balanced these points are... x.x)
Are TiankPL and Clean0nion! They'll both be getting bronze. Did you know that 1 cent coins cost more than 1 cent to make?

Monthly Leaderboard Updated. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/exhibition-hall/card-designer-leaderboard/)

Thank you for this season, people.
I hope we enjoy the next.

Wow, 3rd place. It's really cool :). I'd like to thank everyone who voted for my cards, as well as my mother (she won't read it, she has no idea what Elements are, but whatever, thank yous are thank yous ;) ).

Also, it's an honour to share 3rd place with Clean, I find his ideas interesting and inspiring. Keep 'em coming!

And of course, congrats for Andretimpa and Treldon for getting top places!

Also, I think it's really great, that there's such a thing as weekly challenges. I'm not a good card designer but I like to force my imagination to create stuff like this, each week. And seeing others' ideas, how they handle with certain task, is very inspiring. So big thanks for doing this!
