New Foil card(s)? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=41611.msg515928#msg515928
« on: June 27, 2012, 11:50:35 pm »
As some of you may know, Elements currently has one foil card, and it's Chimera. For those who didn't know; Foil Chimera has the exact same stats as a regular one, except it has fancier artwork, spins as a relic in slots and is only obtainable by donating to zanzarino.

Now, a good couple of months ago, we discussed the idea in chat of making a new foil card, and have it be available through donating to me. Other reasons for doing so can be found here, but the overall reason is that I really wouldn't mind seeing something come back for the literally hundreds of hours I've put into creating artwork for this game and the community website. Now, it's been mentioned to me in chat and in emails, that some people would rather not donate in hopes of eventually seeing art for a creature that they didn't think needed new art, or even a creature they never use - and that's a very fair point.. But I do believe a new foil would address the issues.

Mind you, while I sent this idea zanz' way, he hasn't replied on it. I'd just like to hear opinions, and possibly ideas for which cards you'd like to see as foils!
So long and thanks for all the fish!

its just a matter of time for me to get my hands on a foil chimera, would enjoy very much having other foils, especially if my money would be sent to you ^^

Definitely supporting this, but with a condition:

vrt, YOU should be the one that decides what gets foil art. It's hard to gain any new art nowadays, and forcing such creativity out of someone is hardly the way to go. While I may not have the cash to buy 12 copies of the flashy chimera, I do plan on getting all copies of such fab art. :D

The addition of Foil Chimera has had a positive effect. It is a safe and valued reward for collectors.

I'd definitely be interested in seeing a new 'foil' card - that would be awesome! More artwork for the community + more donations for all of your hard work = win/win/win/win!

What card could we make a foil of?
*Paces*
*Paces some more*
...Firefly Queen? That's a card that pretty much defines its own strategy.

1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

This. I have been thinking about donating for a while, and it seems like the reason I'm not is more out of laziness and not having a job atm than anything else. I love the Foil Chimera more than the normal one (surprised?), but alternate or 'foil' art for more cards most likely would convince more people to donate.

Yes, rambling sentences ramble, but n00b's brain be tired, so it's okay :D

-Dragons (As pineapple suggested)
