Magnetic Sword | Magnetic Blade

Please clarify for perspective:

- On general grounds, should the card be judged from a power level perspective (i.e. is its strength comparable to other weapons) or from a metagame perspective (is it desirable to add this weapon to the current set of cards)?

The first is a subset of the second. (See the negative impact of OP cards and the lack of positive impact from UP cards.)

If you want to compare it to something, compare it to Titan.

As for those 'cost calculations' of cards... I guess according to that, Dimensional Shield should cost: 3 turns of no damage + 1 card = 20 ?

Dim Shield: 3 turns of no damage
for 6 + Shield Slot + 1 card.

1 turn of damage prevention is different than the 1 turn of delay (to ready the ability) of Magnetic Blade before the effect takes place.

I was using a similar attack weapon with a similar cost with an ability that was not influenced by its attack value. Aka Lobotomizer not Titan. Remember this was the comparison to the usage that prevented the smart opponent from playing weapons.

Uh... What happens if you absorb a bunch of magnetic swords

Then it would get very powerful, but I don't someone would play another Magnetic Sword, when you already had one down.

That's what the AI is for. 

Total lack of strategy.
