Global Cards Light and a Slight Tweak to Dark

[ajm6]

Well after a short break I'm back to making global cards. Only one this time light because dark already has nightfall.

Radiance/Brilliance
6 /5
All creatures heal one HP per turn. Cancels Nightfall effects. (does not stack)

This goes along with the light concept of healing. I chose to make this cancel nightfall because this makes it so there is a reason to play multiple nightfalls. To overcome the brilliance effect.

The tweak to dark is to balance and it simply adds to the card description cancels brilliance effects.

I can get rid of the negating effect on the card without a problem I just thought it would be interesting especially because the AI sometimes likes to play lots of nightfalls. I could also change the upped version so it heals 2 HP but that seemed like too much to me because most creatures don't have that much HP.

Please let me know what you think

Ok so this is a permanent that cancels Nightfall. Nice idea. I would say it may be easier to go with Death|Darkness creatures gain -1|-1 on unupped and -2|-1 upped rather than cancel Nightfall but thats just tweaking.

I think that Light does need something to combat Darkness in that way though as they are polar opposites and at the moment Darkness has the upper hand.

Good ability maybe a bit too cheap but that again is just a balancing issue.

Glad to see you back, hope you had fun.

The reason I went with canceling over a debuff was the debuff would kill some dark|death creatures especially skelly spam and I'm sure everyone has noticed that the AI sometimes plays lots of eclipse/nightfall and I thought it would be interesting if having the multiples of nightfall could serve a purpose besides drawing one earlier.

I agree especially after reading your post and realizing how this completely negates fire shield. As an exact opposite perhaps the prices could be the same so 6 /5 .

Ok I see what you're getting at now and understand. ALthough sometimes killing off the skellies isn't such a bad idea...lol..although it would make bone walls way OP. As all I would have to do is put out a boneyard, a bone wall and kill something. voila 2 hours later it's still cycling through dead creatures. Skellie, it dies, new skellie, it dies.....

So yeah I see you point. Does it only cancel out one nightfall per one of these in play? If so that could be good rather than an instant nerf all nightfalls.

the only other way i suppose would be If nightfall is in play all Death|Darkness gain -1|-1 or soemthing like that but then it gets wieghty.

Good work.

Yes it would only cancel one.

The idea wasn't  to simply nerf nightfall hence the healing. But in my opinion light and darkness are the two elements that are most opposed, so I thought I'd add that in the card.

[ScytherLoL]

Yes you are right there are only 4 Elements that are opposites, Life vs Death and Light vs Darkness Thus this card has a place in the Light vs Dark realm.

I like the idea of it now and only cancelling one Nightfall makes a lot of sense. A nice balance for the card.

Parasite, drain life, nightfall, devourer I think dark has a slight upper hand in controlling the opponent, I thought I was giving light a chance to fire back.

You think Mono-Dark wins against Mono-Light? I fought Xdude and lost to him 0/3. And that was BEFORE Holy Light got boosted to 10 damage/heal. Mono-Light is weak against other elements but killer against Mono-Dark.

[ajm6]

I never said mono-dark wins against mono-light, I haven't played that very often. But, light does need a boost and this was my idea for light the nightfall cancel is a secondary effect that probably won't come into play all that often in fact though this is a light card it has uses outside of a mono light which I thought would be useful.

What? How dare you?  I am going to get Light into the last 3 and, if pupp wins on jmizzle (GO pupp!!!) I might even get in the finals
