Round 5: Divine Favor | Divine Favor

[russianspy1234]

NAME: Divine Favor ELEMENT: Light COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Increase the chance of random effects going in your favor by 10%.	NAME: Divine Favor ELEMENT: Light COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Increase the chance of random effects going in your favor by 15%.

ART: IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: The increase is based on the chance the card already has, e.g. 50% → 55% for the unupped rather than 50% → 60%.  The effect stacks, so a second one would take it to 60.5%. For situations where "in your favor" isn't clear, a "best guess" is made.  For example, "destroy a random creature" would skew towards the one with the highest attack.  Mutation makes mutating more likely on your creatures and destruction more likely on opponents creatures. For the restriction I chose: Carnivorous Drosera: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/round-1-concealing-mist-concealing-mist/ Round 2 However, the card also comboes with the below, they meet some but not all of the restrictions of the challenge. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/your-cards-are-bad-and-you-should-feel-bad/ Round 3 http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/round-2-mating-mantis-mating-mantis/ Round 3 http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/round-1-deadly-mail-explosive-mail/ Round 3, Round 1 http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/(round-1)-animated-mist-animated-mist/ Round 1, http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/(round-1)-splashing-thought-living-meditation/ Round 4 http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-idea-competition-submissions/round-2-injecting-hooksimpaling-hooks/ Round 4 SERIES:

Spoiler for Round 4:

NAME: Luminous Ward ELEMENT: Light COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: You can not be affected by creature abilities for 3 turns.	NAME: Luminous Ward ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: You can not be affected by creature abilities.

ART: IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: Regular permanent (not a shield). Stops scorpions from poisoning you but does nothing against poison you already have. Stops vampires from giving opponent health. Stops quanta drain. Blocks momentum. SERIES:

Spoiler for Round 3:

NAME: Muon ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3 | 4 TEXT: : Forcefield - Target creature gets +0 | +1.	NAME: Muon ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 2 TEXT: : Forcefield - Target creature gets +0 | +2.

ART: IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: I took the "usually" aspect of the challenge literally.  This would usually be used on your own creatures, but being in gravity, there is a nice case where you would want to use it on your opponent's creatures as well.  The synergy with Ball Lightning is a little worrisome, but I think I priced it well enough. Also, that randomizer killed my top two name choices.  I don't think majofa would have been as bad. SERIES:

Spoiler for Round 2:

NAME: Hive of Bees ELEMENT: Life COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 15 TEXT: When this card is destroyed, spawn 5 bees.	NAME: Hive of Bees ELEMENT: Life COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 15 TEXT: When this card is destroyed, spawn 7 bees. They randomly attack your opponent or one of their creatures.

ART: IDEA: russianspy1234 NOTES: Bees are 1|1 airborne creatures with a cost of 1 and have the text "When this deals damage, it dies" For the upgraded version, the bees attack immediately, even if it's not your turn.  The target is chosen randomly with the opponent having an equal chance as one of their creatures, and would be affected by shields.  Attacked creatures get no protection from shields but Fire Shield would still trigger killing the bees. SERIES:

Spoiler for Round 1:

NAME: Bloodtake ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Deal 1 damage to every creature you control.  Gain 1 HP for each damage done.	NAME: Bloodgive ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Deal damage to yourself equal to the number of creatures you control.  Each creature you control gains +1|+1.

Bump for Round 2.

GP + Hive sounds funny

Intended use.  Fireballing or Incinerating it yourself is not flavorful, but it wasn't worth kludging a way to block it mechanically, and it still makes some sense.

Concerned how this card would function with immolation. Was this taken into consideration during the design?

Hmmmm, does the cost of summoning it keep it slow enough that Immo would be only average strategy for a combo?

Once, I made a card for 3 that summoned five shrub monsters. It was broken with SoPa.
This is essentially the same card, except you have to use immolation as well. I'm unsure if the use of immolation is enough to keep the combo back, especially as it gives you cheap access to deflag.

Hmm that's true... yeah I can fix that.

Bump for Round 3.

Regarding the randomizer, unfortunately I couldn't choose them myself, because I knew the rules, and it would be unfair on folks that had landed on hard Parasite rules. At least it means that you definitely won't retain a parasite for next round

[Aves]

Unupped seems a bit too weak/expensive-- the ability doesn't justify the same cost as a sapphire charger while being -1/-2.

[russianspy1234]

Hmm that's true.  Buffed a bit.
