Why is so many people interested in duo-cost cards? Didn't Zanz say it won't be added to the game because it would need a complete code change? Unless, well, you don't plan to use those marks for duo-cost creatures
The Proper term here is Hybrid.
Definitions: Duo: cost = :elementA and :elementB
Hybrid: cost = Any combination of :elementA and/or :elementB up to the total cost.
Hybrid would be easier to code than Duo imo.
Hybrids open up a bounty of potential themes and mechanics.
There is 66 Hybrid pairs.
In an nutshell:
Duo
- Is a card that costs something like "4
and 4
"
- Can only be paid with that exact amount.
- Would require a complete rewrite of the game's code for quanta.
Hybrid
- Is card that costs something like "Any combination of 4
or
" (So I can pay this card with 2
2 darkness , 1
3
, etc...)
- Is essentially random quanta cost limited to 2 quantum pools.
-Would require you to just add a bunch of rows and columns to the current quanta 'table'.
People are interested in the idea because it's fun to design.
Doesn't mean I'll finish them all .. but just came up with this one:
Great work with both marks.
