ART: World Market IDEA: skyironsword NOTES: Inspired by MtG card Clockspinning Stacks. Ability is a normal, once per turn ability. Exists to make your Scarabs and Dune Scorpions overpowered. You can't use this to make your opponent's creatures have negative attack, since you can only use the ability on your turn, and on their turn the attack will be high enough so that ability uses will only reverse it. You can make your own have negative attack, however they still attack for 0 or positive due to the automatic ability being like acceleration. Reviews: Spoiler for Disclaimer: I asked chat to say rude things about my card. Though they seemed pretty sincere, hmmm... [21:17:31] ‹Dm1321› ‹@skyironsword› "Don't Read This Thread | I Mean It, It's Shit" [21:20:31] ‹Malignant› "Weaker and Reverse Acceleration Tower" [21:25:25] ‹BumbleSting› ‹@skyironsword› Is too hard to balance [21:25:40] ‹Malignant› Your instawin card was better. [21:25:11] ‹Dm1321› ‹@skyironsword› Your card idea is shit [21:25:17] ‹Dm1321› It is bad and you should feel bad [21:25:27] ‹Dm1321› In fact it is so disgusting I am surprised you even had the courage to post it [21:25:35] ‹Dm1321› People like you are the reason no one wants to moderate the CIA board [21:25:48] ‹Dm1321› I honestly recommend you delete that thread and never post a card idea again.

Is clockspining meant to reverse the effect of the card by turn, or be a spammable ability like Rustlers? If spammable, I see abuse with it and growing creatures.

Reverse the card effect by a turn.

[dragtom]

does it stack?

does it stack?

Yes.

I'd recommend finding a way to make this thing activate before your creatures attack, because otherwise your opponents will get the ATK buff before you do, and your creatures will die at around the same time. It helps your opponent more, in a sense.

Works like acceleration. In other words, it already activates before your creatures attack.

Interesting idea... I like this card quite a bit, although with 6 of these in play you have an awfully strong mass CC effect.
Basically its like spamming 2 RoF each turn.
The combo with anubis or quint is so obvious its practically a forced combo... graboids or other burrowers could be useful as well.

In any of those cases, you would basically dominate the field against almost everything except gravity decks or decks that can also use immaterial.

I'm not sure what to do about that balancing wise. It has too much potential for abuse... Which is too bad because in not for that it would make quite a fun card I think.

Probably affects immaterial as well, due to being sundial with acceleration instead of dim shield.

I absolutely love this card's mechanic, but I do fear for stacking. Perhaps place a stacking limit on it or lower the cost and make it unstackable.

An easy way to do this is to just silently (no card text) leave it unstackable and add a moderate length turn limit... like 4 or 5 turns.

As long as it can't stack to RoF level CC damage, I think its quite good.

Not the best thing to use in a stall, and time is not known for its high health creatures.

But it is a stackable fire shield. Cost suggestions?
