A wild Card Idea jumped from the CI&A forums!

NAME:
Blacksmith
ELEMENT:
Earth
COST:
5 :earth
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
3 | 6
TEXT:
:earth :earth ; Reforge: Reforge the last weapon that was destroyed or replaced.
NAME:
Master Blacksmith
ELEMENT:
Earth
COST:
5 :earth
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
3 | 7
TEXT:
:earth ; Reforge: Reforge the last weapon that was destroyed or replaced.

ART:

IDEA:
Torriku
NOTES:
I always get annoyed when I have that ONE weapon I need for ONE turn, but then need my other weapon which I only have ONE of. This card means you could place a Titan, then place a Dagger, and use this to replace the dagger with a Titan again.

It does not work on weapons that were AW/FWed.

Why would you want a dagger over a titan is beyond me.
A better example would be lobotomizer over arsenic, for example, or owl's eye and titan, or discord and trident.

I would suggest changing the ability cost to  :earth :earth :earth or making the card  :fire. A lot of the uses for these cards seem very chromatic.

First, it was just an example, 2nd earth is the human, hes on earth and uses metal and fire...

I like the idea of being able to swap out weapons. Unfortunately, this card essentially forces a duo which will greatly limit its applicability.
Trios, quartets, and up are usually too unstable / unreliable to be useful.
So basically you can only use this in :earth :fire or rainbow decks.
Essentially, you would be relegated to using it to swap out type "Other" weapons plus pulverizer (not too useful without :gravity ) and farenheit.
For this kind of mechanic to be really useful, it generally needs to be flexible enough (cost wise) to be used in any element combo. This is because most of the weapons in the game are element specific and the ones that are not generally do not have an ability that would make them worth swapping in or out.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
You might be a unix junky

So I make it all earth, or ability cost rainbow?
You could also make it a weaker creature and drop the casting cost to like 1 or 2 :earth and drop the skill cost to 1 :fire for both upped and unupped
Anything a 2 or fewer quanta can be safely considered splashable into duos.
If ability cost is fire and cast cost is low, then it can function under any fire duo that uses immolate or novas.
That's still a little restrictive but its much better and hopefully still holds true to the idea you were going for originally. ( I do really like the fire earth thematic and synnergy as long as it doesn't make it too situational)

Wasn't there a Forge | Armory card (name, not level) that did something like this? I think it was an Earth Permanent

Aw man, my next one was a card that would build a random other weapon.
