Weapon Card Contest Entry: Blade of light

Disregard any past entries, this is the one I'm using now.



flying is 3/6 and 3/9

Holy flash can heal yourself right?

Double target isn't coded yet.....

If the ability is only one use per turn, it seems like a good card.  Imagine this in a hope spam deck....

Wouldn't something that could target only photon's also be able to target ray's? And for that matter, don't unupgraded scarabs boost regular scarabs, or does that only work because they have the same name?

I think he's getting at:

Scarifice a Photon or Ray of Light, Cast Holy Light.

or something like that. This clarifies it works on either not both (both being you need to kill one of each).

I like the card just has a spam quality that I think will turn it towards OP.

Generation:
A great concept and definately useful for Light but now with Hope in play it would become completly OP in a few turns. (imagine 6 of these flown with a Hope shield, you would reduce damage by at least 6 every turn becoming invincible very fast)

Maybe it generates 2 Photons for 1  or something like that to make it activable rather than automatic.

Thanks for your great work keep it up.

Yeah, I did mean "or".

[ScytherLoL]

Yeah most of us know that but it saves the confusion if you write it in on the card.

What did you think of the idea of costing for Photons rather than making them automatic?

Well you can't have to activated abilities on one card...but I could make it remove a light quanta and make a photon every turn if possible. I would probably make more sense flavorwise as well.

[ScytherLoL]

Hmm a passive ability that says something along the lines of:

Light: Absorb 1  , brings a Photon onto your field.

I like that idea that way it costs but would be nuts if you had more than 1 of them as every turn you lose light (imagine 6 in play thats 6 Light every turn).

I am unsure how to balance it maybe it should just stay the way you wrote it but I am sure that it will end up being nerfed anyway as it brings too many to the field.

The other way would be to bring a Photon into play each turn if you have a Photon in play. So you need one in play first.

Just thinking but keep up the great ideas.

One other thought on the original card posting, probably because I'm playing a  deck at the moment:

This is a destroy-all-death/darkness-creatures-for-5- card.  At least with holy flash you have a limit of 6--this thing would go on ad infinitum...

[cthulhu]

Actually, since holy flash is getting buffed to 10 I may have to change this again...

[Glitch]

By double target I mean that you'd have to target the ray/photon, and then target something with the holy flash.

[ScytherLoL]

Ahh I see that opens up a whole new can of worms. I'm unsure how that would work myself and see that it could be difficult to code that in at the moment.

Another way would be that it spawns a different type of Photon that has that ability as an Activatable one.

Ie. Scarifice: Destory this creature, cast Holy Flash on target creature.

Somthing like that but then you get into having a different type of card.
