OldTrees, EmeraldTiger, Rutarete, and I have developed a playtesting system that was originally formatted by Artimies7 and NikaZaslavsky for their Donuts vs. Noodles Competition.
The results can be seen here (And within the boards it links too) :
http://sync.in/CardIdeaBattle . We've played
2 a lot of matches so far, and both have been very enjoyable and have taught us how to streamline our organization in the battle.
I would like to suggest this system as a valid playtesting system for ETG cards ideas, as well as a fun battle system that allows PvPers to use the ideas they have posted.
Discuss.
(if you are not part of the Idea Factory, please post your thoughts here The Idea Factory Feedback Thread (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25499.msg347573#msg347573). We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Note : For maximum efficiency with the system I recommend 3 players (1 Organizer, 2 Players) - having 2 players is possible but relies on the honor system instead (And part of the goal is have fun, so if you want to whip up a 2-player game go right ahead.

If you want to request a Card Idea or Card Idea deck to be tested, feel free to post it in The Idea Factory Feedback Thread (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25499.msg347573#msg347573)! (Please make sure to include
at least one deck in your request post and assign a number to each card in the deck from 1 to [#Cards]. These deck(s) should involve the card idea(s) you link to help playtesters determine the uses of the card.)
If you want to use your card idea or see it in action, feel free to jump over to here with someone else to play against :
http://sync.in/CardIdeaBattle(I recommend that if you're new to the system that you ask someone who's used this before (Shown on the above list) to play against you to help you get used to it.)
Please record your battles in http://sync.in/CardIdeaBattlefieldarchives2 , since almost all playtesting battles use card ideas and will likely result in helping balance the card ideas used.
