Existing Card Reworking Entry: Hematite Golem

[coinich]

Mildly related: Stability + Growth...  If stability is a passive ability (and I'm pretty sure it is) it could be an interesting combo.

Give Growth to a Hematite Golem and then we'll talk.

It'd just have no effect.

When HP 0 or less, remove Golem from field

I like this one.

Aw man, are you going to make me change the artwork for Steel Golem to the PROPER upgraded version?  C'mon, don't be picky...

Not my call, its YoYoBros and his rule says its INVALID. Personally I don't care but it would seem lame to me if you missed out on a chance because of something so simple.

I got permission from Scaredgirl to use the images as is.  Also reuploaded the pics because of forum wonkyness.

Blessing cancels itself out, simple as that.

Rage potion conserves the sum, as the resulting 8/1 on a Hematite one is still sum 9, same as 3/6.

K, code it for me.

Ready for this?  It's gonna be awesome.

Start of turn.  CurrentAttackPower = AttackPower;  CurrentHealthPoints = HealthPoints;

End of turn:

If AttackPower!= CurrentAttackPower{
HealthPoints = 9 - AttackPower
}
If HealthPoints != CurrentHealthPoints{
AttackPower = 9 - HealthPoints
}

This means blessing increases attack power by three and decreases health by three, but other than that it works.

Cool. Just need some votes then.

Nice attempt, but it does miss some things according to the original idea.

If the Golem gets Firestormed then his Damage should immediately rise by 3. Also using Heavy Armor would do nothing, as the +3 would not reduce the attack power and then the end of turn step resets the hitpoints of the golem back to what it was at the start of turn (olr inverse the current power). This coding does not cater either of these cases at all.

Might as well have had the idea just say "Hematite Golem is always 3/6"  or "At end of turn Hematite Golem becomes 3/6"

Edit : Fix Typo

[Delreich]

Change "Start/End of turn" to "Beginning/End of spell code" and the timing is as you want it. Though comparing it to Scarabs, doing things at end of turn might be better.
The Armor case should work just fine; the first if statement is skipped as atk is unchanged, the second lowers atk.

Wait what?  Are you saying that's what my code does and shouldn't, or that's what it should do and doesn't?

Didn't say the code was perfect, just that the card is doable

why did you change the card? this is a contest after all, correct? in my book that would be considered cheating. unless someone gives me a reason not to, -1 karma

Change what card? They look exactly like when they were first put up.
