ART: OdinVanguard, created using Hexagon and GIMP with GPL textures from http://opengameart.org/ IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today the old must give way to the new" "The Sword of Damocles, is hanging over my head... And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread!" -The Rocky Horror Can serve as either a potentially suicidal high damage weapon, or as a unique form of anti-weapon PC. Combined with deflagrate or other PC, one could potentially build a deck around this card. As flown weapon, this ability would cause you to gain a flown version of the opponent's weapon while this card would get put into their weapon slot. The damage on destruction will also trigger if the flown version is destroyed. The damage on destruction DOES NOT TRIGGER if: 1) The weapon is replaced 2) The weapon is destroyed while the ability is inactive, e.g. before one turn is passed or if the weapon is delayed or frozen. This means that you cannot trade with your opponent and then destroy it on the same turn to get the extra damage. You would have to wait 1 turn. Also, you could not freeze the weapon with icebolt to try and avoid taking the hit (although a bonewall would do the trick) This also means that the opponent would effectively have to wait for 2 turns of damage from this before destroying it would inflict the destruction damage on you.

Maybe a higher cost on both the ability and the actual weapon cost, also less damage (10 is too OP for a weapon, and perhaps for unupped destroying it should be less damage, maybe 7-9 damage?)

Titan does 7 / 8 damage and has similar cost with no downside... and it bypasses shields to boot.

Also, Fahrenheit regularly does far more than 10 damage (up in the 20s at max if I recall) and has an even lower cost.

The ability cost is on par with steal I think


I think raising the casting and ability cost is reasonable, but I'm leery about dropping the damage too much or else it will become UP.
Raising the cost might be reasonable but I think it should do more damage than titan.

Fahrenheit and Titan don't have added PC attached to them.
You're in death, the element of bone wall and SoSac. The downside of taking 10 a turn isn't one.

Ah, that does make sense then. Bonewall combos I was counting on, but I forgot about SoSac... Ill bump cost a bit and drop ATK slightly then.
I'll update in a couple days and go with the values from the polls I created.
