Best Weapon Idea Contest entry - Soul Eater / Soul Harvester

[ajm6]

Couldn't have said it better than Delreich, its overpowered regardless in my opinion the nightfall synergy just makes it even more so.

[icybraker]

I hate to agree, but I agree. This is basically Owl's Eye on steroids. I'd simply remove the damage-dealing ability and be done with it, and even then, it might be too strong.

Good concept, though, if overpowered.

[Demagog]

Dislike.

Even if it is a nice card, you need to change its element. I don't care what you pick, just not darkness. You give darkness way too much attention, and all the other elements don't like it. Better change it before you're smote eleven times :-o

And the rare weapon for Darkness is absolute crap. And it's a freaking dagger. As the Maste of Darkness I cannot stand this, thus I've made Darkness a much more powerful weapon.
Any other reason why you don't like it? If not, congratulations, you just made yourself look like a jerk.

Wow, I figured by now you'd realize I just tease you about your fascination with all things dark. Forgive me if I thought you'd get the joke. I'll be sure to never joke around with you again.

And it's funny that you say I don't like it, considering that I said "even if it is a nice card..." which obviously means I like the concept. And I don't have a problem with it being dark, I just enjoy giving people a hard time. I completely expect to receive a hard time in return.

It's also funny though that I'm only a jerk if I don't have any "other" reasons why I don't like it. If I actually did have a problem with it then I'm not a jerk? Interesting...

I'll stop messing with you now though :-p

This looks OP, when you have nightfal out, it deals 3 damage to the target AND generates a 5/1 vampire, which makes it better than EE in every way except that you have to have a target and use the ability to make the creature. If shades were 1/1 or 2/0, it'd be a bit more fair. Also, I'd dim down the damage to 2.

[Bloodshadow]

How about changing the ability from dealing damage to reducing ATK? That way it's a little less powerful and less EE on steroids.

@Demagog: If you were joking, then make it look like you're joking. To me it looked like you were serious. That smiley didn't cut it, because it made you look shocked that I'd even suggest such a thing.

[icybraker]

Good idea. Still powerful, but it also makes it more unique and interesting.

[Terroking]

Yeah, lowering attack by 2 or 3 I could live with. But when nightfall is in play, even unupped, a shade does the same thing as vamp dagger did.

That's why Vampire Dagger sucks.

Anyways, I'll change it to drain ATK later. No time right now.

EDIT: Done.

Free Shades ftw!

[Bloodshadow]

Er... How about this doesn't work on 0-ATK creatures? Or it starts to damage HP after ATK is reduced to 0?

You're not going to have free Shades. That is overpowered.

So reducing the attack of an opponent's creature to get a shade ISN'T?

Let's see... Make a shade, or make opponent do 3 less damage and make a shade. Which is better?

[Bloodshadow]

But I wanted this sword to take a chunk of soul out of an opponent creature, and make it into a Shade.

Oh well, I'll just make this card unable to target creatures with ATK less than 1 (that means 0 or negatives). That way, no free Shade.

Really, if it's that overpowered, I'll increase the ability cost to 4 and upgraded 3 .
