[21:29:34] plastiqe: field affecting is an under explored mechanic for sure
I've noticed recently that there are a lot of card ideas that affect cards based on their position in the field, or are affected by their position in the field. IMO it would be fun to see a previously-unexplored mechanic in the game, and to that end I wanted to put together a list of such cards similar to ZBlader's Compilation of Pseudo-Elements (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24822.0.html) topic, to maybe inspire other users to make field-affecting cards or cards that could combo with such cards.

The list is organized alphabetically by unupgraded version, and includes the name of the card, the creator, and the part of its ability that qualifies it for the list (I included Flooding|Inundation in the list even though it's already in the game; it's separated from the rest of the list because of that).

If I've missed any, or you think a card idea qualifies, please post a link. Thanks!

*Raises his hand*
Though not explicitly stated on the card text, this card's effect does affect the field by affecting creature slots somewhat.  Would it qualify for this Compilation?  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,33562

Order of attacks is another aspect of the game related to where your creatures deploy on the field.  Specifically for Bone Wall, I often find myself counting out where the charges will run out and if I should Deflag a charge to get my big Golem through in slot 3.

First I'd start by defining the spots better in game, maybe numbering them like Slot 1 for the first (middle) creature, Slot 2 etc and showing the info when you hover over the card.

You could go further and let the player choose where to deploy their creatures, with an extra click to the target Slot.  Then you can have positional deployment and formations, or defenses that are strong in the middle but weak on the sides.  Give an advantage to Flying creatures in your forward slots, that sort of thing.

You could have something like a Gravity Shield that let only even # creatures attack you for 3 turns.

Someone also created a spell that dealt damage to a creature and all creatures next to it, like a cone of attack or something.

It would add a metric ton of strategic layers to the game if you had to think about where your creatures were deployed.

Thanks! I put a [SERIES] tag in front of Ambush to distinguish from individual cards.

EDIT: I think I remember that, I'll try to look around for it.

Would you please add "Later refined into Bloodthirst (See Ghorapines)." to the Ambush description? Thanks.

I had noticed this trend as well. Thats why i had posted this card in the idea board. It didnt get much attention because currently the game does not have much in the way of field position cards. But i think field position is something that should definitely be explored.

After seeing this in the water element discussion topic "Sailing the Seven Seas - A discussion about Water", it gave me an idea for a good field affecting card
Thanks for starting a topic like this.


Also, it's been a while since I came to the convinction that what Water really needs is a unique, new quanta producer. Sort of like a new Nova or Immolation, only suited for Water (I think a synergy / trio quanta producer would be great). Without entering in too much details as you don't wish to discuss of card ideas, would you agree that a quanta producer would be a good addition / complement to this element's arsenal?
Abysal stores: A Permanent or spell like equivalent to luciferin that affects creatures in flooded areas. I.e. any creature in a flooded area that does not have an active  ability gains the ability to produce 1  :water each turn and increases  :water storage cap by 1.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
