False Elements 2: The Element of Surprise (russianspy1234)

[Pineapple]

I don't know why I haven't commented in this thread before. It is a VERY interesting mechanic.
However, having too many different type of cards can make you play a whole quantaless deck and that can be OP.

The thing about Surprise is that it's basically a 13th element since "there is only one Surprise cost 'track' per player."

since there is only one track, you cant actually play a deck that is entirely Surprise cards. actually as it stands, it is far too limiting, but removing the track and making each card have its own counters would be too powerful, and i cant think of anything in between...

and basically an element that you only have a mark for and no pillars...

Change it from an alternate cost mechanic to an additional cost mechanic. Then remove the track.

Off topic: I have never played MtG, is there a good link to explanations of all the mechanics it has? (like the suspending one)

Speaking of which, you should post the background you are using so everyone can make surprise cards
