Microwave Oven
ELEMENT:

ART:
Image from http://compareindia.in.com/latest-launches/kitchen-microwave-ovens/sharp-r658ls-microwave-oven/543/0 (http://compareindia.in.com/latest-launches/kitchen-microwave-ovens/sharp-r658ls-microwave-oven/543/0)
IDEA:
Krathos
NOTES:
Throw in has a 10% chance of mutation, 30% of damaging like fire bolt (willing to change this one), 30% of dealing the hp of the creature as damage to your opponent and 30% of killing the creature.
If you throw in a fate egg, the microwave ignites (is destroyed, deals 1 damage to every creature on the field and 20 to your enemy), an exaggeration of what actually happens :D
SERIES:
House/Kitchen Permanents Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16192.new.html#new)
Not too much to explain, another way of having some "random fun" (?) with entropy

I'll need lots of feedback in order to balance the "Throw in" ability, so please comment :D

Not to sound rude, but this is one of the silliest suggestions I have ever seen. The idea is discussable (numbers must be discussed), the name and the picture not. Just find something new :-X

very interesting. I'm especially interested at seeing what a Chrysora would look like in a microwave. Shrimp perhaps? How about if Otyugh eats a mutant created by the microwave, it gains +2|+2?

Cards with vague text is bad. If I have to read a lengthy notes section just to understand a card that means the card is poorly designed (see Adrenaline, nobody how likes how it is worded.).

That seems alot like Unstable Gas...

Well, take look at mutation, you don't know how it will act unless you read the forum thread... 10% death, 40% mutation, 50% abomination... That's why it's entropy

Actually, as it needs 2 cards, it's less powered... It's kinda of a deck synergies widener, plus being something theme-related

So, If I have out 6 of these Permanents, and Thrown in on of them, a fate egg, will all of them explode?

No, if you throw in an egg, it acts as an ignited unstable gas, only explodes itself

ignore uppercut, he pretty much says that in any thread with a creative mechanism.  as long as you can tell what to do with the card from the text, that should be sufficient.

What if you put in a  :water creature in it? Would it ignite as well?
Title: Re: Microwave Oven | Microwave Oven
Post by: ArtCrusade on November 21, 2010, 10:46:14 am
Call it Magic Pot and I'll make art for you and it'll be fine I think. Wording - as I already said - must be changed or I see no chance for this card.

Suggestion: You can throw in creatures and permanents, including pillars. Throwing in pillars would generate 3 quanta of the type the pillar normally produces + 1 entropy quantum. An Empathic Bond would heal you by 3 for every 2 creatures you have, Unstable Gas would just ignite normally and return 1 fire quantum to you. Basically, the card's effect gets stronger.

Technically speaking, I don't think a dragon could fit in a microwave, why not say it is a colossal oven?

You'll probably get a titanium shield back, because titanium has a very high melting point.

If you think that, I recomend you from the heart: don't even try to put any kind of metal into the microwave oven.

Well, the reason metal wouldn't be good in a microwave is because of its sharp edges (that's the reason! and don't ask), so if the titanium shield is really polished, I guess it would be okay.

Well, maybe "Magic Pot" it's not the best idea, since it is a permanent... What wording do you suggest? I don't want to change it every time someone says it's badly written. I was thinking of "Throw in: The target creature may lose life, die, mutate or attack your opponent with their hp and die. /press enter/ Eggs will ignite and destroy the oven."

About the permanents, I like that idea, but it won't fit the card space  ???
Actually, it's true, the card's effect gets stronger, but the card dies :P

Technically speaking, I don't think a dragon could fit in a microwave, why not say it is a colossal oven?
It's a magic oven, since it has an extension spell.

Call it Disaster Box or Mistery Box  8)
I'll run a poll as soon as a few more ideas come out... But those 2 are my favourites

You'll know once the card is in crucible :P

If the new system is implemented, you'll equalize every single quanta your opponent has, and the uneven ones goes to a random quantum, or maybe it'll just ignite :P

How about if I put in poison? Would it turn into a toxic vapour and intoxicate anyone or anything that breathes it?

Well, poison is not a permanent, so it's a bit difficult :D
I guess it'd make that poison gas and add 1 poison counter to the upper and lower rows, and deal 3 poison damage to your opponent

That's an AWESOME idea... I was wondering what else to add to a kitchen-permanents series, so if you do it someday, please post a link here so I can add it to my series, if not, I wonder if I can steal your idea :D

Refrigerator | Freezer

I don't see why not, after all, I was given 50% of the Ant series for helping EmeraldTiger out.

Table
Permanent
All creatures with Devour pay one extra quanta for their ability and gain +2|+2 per devoured creature.

OK then, post those 3 ideas, or if you want I can post some of them, I'll make the blender, unless anonymous want that idea  :)

Nah, it's okay, you can have it (well, if I have credit for that it will be really nice.) I'm currently making another series anyways, but the reason why I hadn't posted for a whle is because I'm having trouble with card art.

Here in Spain we use this frase when something goes from bad to worse. A damage spell is bad, double the damage is worse (and the grill burns like hell)

Traduction fail :P
I guess it's On the edge of the grill... Anyways, it'll be a permanents series :D

EDIT: Already done the House/Kitchen Permanents Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16192.msg221053#msg221053), so please comment your ideas there
