Why does everyone use the name "Hero Cards"? I got inspired by SG, but I forgot to mention that in my post at Kongregate, so she called me a pathetic idea thief. But she does have a point: if you got the name from somewhere else, you should say that; if you didn't, you should that it is a coincidence, to avoid confusion and/or misunderstandings.

Hero Cards and similar super-creatures are kinda overused right now. Why didn't anyone else think of legendary permanents and forbidden spells? I have a series of imaginary cards on Kongregate, and they're called the Avatars (godly creatures), the Relics (legendary permanents), and the Taboos (forbidden spells).

Comments on each.

Mimic: Could be useful, sure, but... it's very brittle and pricy.
Doppelganger: I'd rather use PU, really. Cannot be stopped, doesn't take a turn to execute and is cheaper.
Antigravity: Is alright, dragon combos sound scary at first but shoudl be edible
Pit Viper: Kinda weak and pricy
Blood Asp: Much better, could be a good addon to a Life deck, not specifically poison ones.
Zombie: You're firing Skeletons.
Lich: A very brittle, better Gravyyard.
Archer: On such a brittle creature Sniper is alright. Same for the upgrade, still Paradoxable and under 3 HP.
Ancient Fossil: Yay free Poisons! Also, could be useful sometimes, like for EQ+freePoison+Some Earth deck. Also, there aren't many Earth or Death abilities anyway.
Second Fossil: A pay-to-play Boneyard. Not as useful.
Rusty Automaton: I'd rather use the Hematite Golem, after the fourth turn it's more profitable. This card is like useless.
Goblins: Good idea
Gorgon: I guess the cost is  accepTable for a Mono creature.
Medusa: Much better if the enemy doesn't have some supershield.
Shadows: Two for Growth? Other creatures get it for 1. Unfair. Could be useful for one of those Vampire Blessing decks as another beatstick.
Palace Guard: Fairly good idea, damage soakup with the same ratio as Armagio but with the shield.
Paladin: Worse ratio, bigger shield. Could be useful against mobspam.
Giant Squid: I hope you do realize it can only Devour creatures with 1 HP at first, yes? The ability price could be affordable for Mono.
Kraken: Costly, but much better. Could be useful for Water/Earth doing Poseidon and Armoring Krakens.
Apprentice: Just a step for the upgrade, I see.
Necromancer: A very brittle Boneyard. Seeing as both cost 3 Death, I'd rather use Boneyard.
Mage: The ability is too costly for what it does, really. Aside from that, fairly nice but brittle.
Priest: As above. Drop the ability cost to 1 and it'll be perfectly fine, for now it's underpowered because of the high cost.
Overlord: Good card. Really good in Earth/Dark/Quantum deprivation with Devourers and EQs.
Will o' the wisp: Not really useful. Other quantum generators survive longer. Raylights...
Plague Bearer: What's the point of having Skeletons if they die after one turn?
Gravity Bolt: Seeing as there is a way of avoiding Reflega anyway, this card isn't very useful, especially with that Gravity doesn't have any quantum fasteners found in other elements (Brimstone Eater, Immolation, Devourer).
Shield: You ripped this one from Bloodshadow.
Kiteshield: As above.
Buckler: Also, it makes other-element weakshields pointless.
Leopard: Effectively does 9 damage, for 3 Life? Too strong.
Mist Leotard: Effectively does 12 damage and I can't get rid of it, for cheaper than an Immortal from Aether? Too strong, dood.

HEROS

Destroyer: Passive destroying is way too strong no matter what you do.
Unerring: Compared to other heroes, kinda weak. Good creature control, but with two Owleyes I could do the same thing cheaper and with more precision.
Raging: Fast buildup, but expect it to get Paradoxed immediately. Designing a Hero for Fire is hard because the theme makes the Hero easy to lose.
Imperturbable: I guess this one is survivable, stopping up to 4 creatures and no more. An Arctic Octopus can do this thing, just much pricier and is brittle.
Illuminated: 2x SoD + non-instant creature control prevention. Is alright. Pisses Plaguers off.
Avaracious: What kind of a word is that? Also, it might be hard to control out manually, and aside from that it's just a bigger Vampire. Is alright.
Twisted: So, I can end up with a weak thing or a brittle thing, and it drains quanta. Is fairly alright, I guess.
Unstoppable: Momentum on steroids, and... a 6 attacker. Notverygood.
Eternal: You ripped this from Bloodshadow. Also, very good and balanced card, as it can be only delayed and deals high damage, and high damage is what Time needs.
Adam Savage: VERY OP. Does 4 free Snipers at the end of every turn, and can strike Immaterial? Not nice. Would clean out the enemy field immediately.
Foul: VERY OP. The poison will build up really fast. 9 poison, 18 poison, 27 poison... heck, normal poison DECKS don't get to 27, and this can in 3 turns. The other passive effect is a nice concept.

Good thing that they can be Mutated or Reversed, otherwise all of them would be OP. Don't fix this.

If I didn't comment on the upgrade separately, apply the same comment as for the normal version.

Actually I didn't call you a "pathetic idea thief". I said that you stole my idea and I said that it was pathetic. Both of those are true. You didn't "get inspired" by my idea, you copied it.

Of course you have now made changes to that original post, like changing card names and giving me credit, but when I was there, it looked a lot different. When I was reading it, it was like reading my own post only you claimed it was your idea. Too bad I didn't take a screenshot of it so I could show what I mean.

Btw "Hero Cards" was not invented by me or anyone else on this forum. It's a name and concept that has been around for a long time so there's no harm in using it. But when people copy-paste other peole's text and claim it to be theirs, that's not cool.

Xavious if you have any Photoshop skills, you should make pictures of these card ideas. There's a sticky thread with required files.

[Xavius]

An idea i saw earlier, my replies are in this wonderful bright green.

Comments on each.

Mimic: Could be useful, sure, but... it's very brittle and pricy.
Doppelganger: I'd rather use PU, really. Cannot be stopped, doesn't take a turn to execute and is cheaper.
ok, good points on both. But it lets Entropy decks get in on the fun as Mono, w/o Nova
Antigravity: Is alright, dragon combos sound scary at first but shoudl be edible
Pit Viper: Kinda weak and pricy
Blood Asp: Much better, could be a good addon to a Life deck, not specifically poison ones.
The idea is that Pit vipers are less amazing, and the Blood Asps are better, but still cheap.
Zombie: You're firing Skeletons.
That was the idea. All the other 1 cost creatures are all 3 points divided between A/H, but skeles are 1 cost for only 2 points speread between A/H. the others like that are free.
Lich: A very brittle, better Graveyard.
My original idea was that it plagues for 1 death quanta, but i decided against it.
Archer: On such a brittle creature Sniper is alright. Same for the upgrade, still Paradoxable and under 3 HP.
Ancient Fossil: Yay free Poisons! Also, could be useful sometimes, like for EQ+freePoison+Some Earth deck. Also, there aren't many Earth or Death abilities anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I forgot to add in the "can't reduce below 1 cost". again, sorry.
Second Fossil: A pay-to-play Boneyard. Not as useful.
But it produces every turn, rather than 1 every death, so even if nothing dies or a skele dies, you're garunteed a skele every turn. with 6 you will always get 6 skeles, and with 6 otys...
Rusty Automaton: I'd rather use the Hematite Golem, after the fourth turn it's more profitable. This card is like useless.
but it's cheaper, which is the idea.
Goblins: Good idea
Gorgon: I guess the cost is  acceptable for a Mono creature.
Medusa: Much better if the enemy doesn't have some supershield.
Shadows: Two for Growth? Other creatures get it for 1. Unfair. Could be useful for one of those Vampire Blessing decks as another beatstick.
They do? i thought I typed 1. oh well. This is what I get for posting while i'm really tired...
Palace Guard: Fairly good idea, damage soakup with the same ratio as Armagio but with the shield.
Paladin: Worse ratio, bigger shield. Could be useful against mobspam.
Would reducing the cost to 4 or 3 be better?
Giant Squid: I hope you do realize it can only Devour creatures with 1 HP at first, yes? The ability price could be affordable for Mono.
Yes, the idea is that while it can't eat alot at first (1/1s and sparks, mostly) but it can still deal damage from the get-go. Mostly the idea was to try seperating Devour from Gravity, as it could easily be used in a lot of other situations otherwise that shouldn't need Gravity quanta.
Kraken: Costly, but much better. Could be useful for Water/Earth doing Poseidon and Armoring Krakens.
Apprentice: Just a step for the upgrade, I see.
Necromancer: A very brittle Boneyard. Seeing as both cost 3 Death, I'd rather use Boneyard.
Mage: The ability is too costly for what it does, really. Aside from that, fairly nice but brittle.
Priest: As above. Drop the ability cost to 1 and it'll be perfectly fine, for now it's underpowered because of the high cost.
Ah, well perhaps dropping cost of priest ability and all costs by 1? I'm trying not to create overbalanced stuff in this part.
Overlord: Good card. Really good in Earth/Dark/Quantum deprivation with Devourers and EQs.
Also good in a time/dark stall deck. I've tried one and it works on everything, unupgraded about 50% of the time. And I do mean against anything. training and false gods both have equal chance of beating it, which really sucks.
Will o' the wisp: Not really useful. Other quantum generators survive longer. Raylights...
it's meant to provide one quick quanta (two with upgrade) and some soft damage. of course, if you put a Momentum or a plate armor...
Plague Bearer: What's the point of having Skeletons if they die after one turn?
Dont use skeles then.this is meant for an anti-creature deck, such as against Graviton. With Quintessence, they stay alive indefinately.
Gravity Bolt: Seeing as there is a way of avoiding Reflect anyway, this card isn't very useful, especially with that Gravity doesn't have any quantum fasteners found in other elements (Brimstone Eater, Immolation, Devourer).
There are direct damage spells that get around Reflect??? what are they?
Shield: You ripped this one from Bloodshadow.
Kiteshield: As above.
Buckler: Also, it makes other-element weakshields pointless.
These ones were from a friend that said he thought it would be a good idea, for multi-color decks. I put them in 'cuz they sounded like a good idea.
Leopard: Effectively does 9 damage, for 3 Life? Too strong.
Mist Leotard: Effectively does 12 damage and I can't get rid of it, for cheaper than an Immortal from Aether? Too strong, dood.
Maybe increase cost or remove Immortal? Or both? I was copy-ing an idea from MtG.

HEROS

Destroyer: Passive destroying is way too strong no matter what you do.
Unerring: Compared to other heroes, kinda weak. Good creature control, but with two Owleyes I could do the same thing cheaper and with more precision.
Maybe let it hit through reflect or immortal??
Raging: Fast buildup, but expect it to get Paradoxed immediately. Designing a Hero for Fire is hard because the theme makes the Hero easy to lose.
I knew I was forgetting something... it was Paradox. as I said earlier, I was typing this here while very very tired.
Imperturbable: I guess this one is survivable, stopping up to 4 creatures and no more. An Arctic Octopus can do this thing, just much pricier and is brittle.
Illuminated: 2x SoD + non-instant creature control prevention. Is alright. Pisses Plaguers off.
Avaracious: What kind of a word is that? Also, it might be hard to control out manually, and aside from that it's just a bigger Vampire. Is alright.
Avaracious: very greedy, extremely 'me' centered. Wants to own everything in the universe, including people. Miserly. very Scrooge-ish.
Twisted: So, I can end up with a weak thing or a brittle thing, and it drains quanta. Is fairly alright, I guess.
Unstoppable: Momentum on steroids, and... a 6 attacker. Notverygood.
Eternal: You ripped this from Bloodshadow. Also, very good and balanced card, as it can be only delayed and deals high damage, and high damage is what Time needs.
If I ripped this from Bloodshadow, it was not intentional. All of these were written by me and my freinds, after a bit of explaining to them. We all play MtG, so they wanted some stuff like alot of the newer cards.
Adam Savage: VERY OP. Does 4 free Snipers at the end of every turn, and can strike Immaterial? Not nice. Would clean out the enemy field immediately.
Sorry, should read that it ONLY targets Immortal creatures
Foul: VERY OP. The poison will build up really fast. 9 poison, 18 poison, 27 poison... heck, normal poison DECKS don't get to 27, and this can in 3 turns. The other passive effect is a nice concept.
Ah, I thought something was off with this. should be half damage, can't inflict more than 3 a turn. Again, typed while VERY tired. Sorry.

Good thing that they can be Mutated or Reversed, otherwise all of them would be OP. Don't fix this.

If I didn't comment on the upgrade separately, apply the same comment as for the normal version.

I I didn't reply to a comment, it's 'cuz I liked what you said.

[bobcamel]

Mimic: Up the HP so it doesn't die immediately from anything and it'll be a great card.
Dopeganger: As above. Or make him Immaterial, even.

Pit Vipers are not amazing at all due to the high poison cost. If they could 1 Death per, then it'd be better.

Ancient Fossle: Well, Deadly Poisons are 1 ea with this. Shame I can't Deathsplash when I Timesplash for Graboids.

When you have 6 Otyughs, generating many Skeletons per turn with a Gravyyard isn't that hard.

Rusty Automaton stops being cheaper after the fourth turn, when both creatures cost 5. And then the price only goes up.

Shadow: You thought. That's the problem. Don't think and it'll be much better.

Paladin: When the enemy is running Fireflies, Paladin will survive longer, when Dragons, then both will die in 1-2 hits. 4 cost could be nicety.

There aren't many creatures that have 1 HP.

Priest gives just +1/+1. 1 cost is very alright for this amount. Even Growth costs 1 and gives +2/+2, just to self, but... well, targeting option shouldn't cut the benefits in half and double the cost at onze.

If I put something on the Will, then sure.

Don't use Skeletons in a Death deck? *lung expulsion*

Well, not the straight way... you just play a Reflective Shield and cast the spell on yourself and it works.

Buckler would get the "Carapace/Solar/Skull Bucklers" out of their jobs.

Mist Leopard: Drop the Immateriality. Also... WHAT YOU DARE SAID!

EDIT: image removed due to content.

For Unerring, drop the "dontn attack this turn" and/or lower the cost.

Adam Savage: NEVER, NEVER TARGET IMMATERIALS. DANGIT. THAT'S THEIR POINT. Make it drain 5 quanta per turn passively and 2-3 3-power attacks on targetable enemies or not even only enemies.

Foul: 3 poison per turn is alrighty.

[Bloodshadow]

Bobcamel, Xavius did not steal my idea. Go to a dictionary and look up the word "coincidence". That's what I've been saying: no one has a freaking patent on his/her ideas.

[Xavius]

Thannk you, Bloodshadow, and for Bobcamel:
What's wrong w/ MtG??? Do I need to break your kneecaps??

[bobcamel]

MtG IS THE CANCER THAT IS KILLING THE ORIGINALITY OF ELEMENTS

PEOPLE CALLING ELEMENTS BY COLOURS AND SUGGESTING MIXED COST CARDS

AND PEOPLE CALLING PILLARS LANDS

LEARN THAT THIS HERE AIN'T MtG

/RAAAAAAAAGE

I hope my feedback and baloney tweaks have been helpful.

[Bloodshadow]

I agree with Bob on this one. Elements is not an MtG clone. Some people call pillars lands, call quanta mana, call permanents artifacts, call Life green, etc... That irritates me. Another thing that irritates me is someone saying "omg dis game uze spore creatures adn pillrz! stolen!!!1!111!!!!1!1!!", or something like that.

[bobcamel]

Oh. Actually, calling permanents artifacts...

Permanents can be split into four types:
-Weapons
-Shields
-Pillars
-Others that could be called artifacts just for the ease of specifying

[Xavius]

geez.... I'm not saying that it is a MtG clone, but I wanted to use some ideas that I thought could work. Oh, and the whole thing about MtG being a "cancer", it's been around for years longer than elements has. That said, I have been training myself out of reffering to elements bits w/ MtG names.
Oh yah, before you go insulting MtG, please remember that it taught me to read and do basic math.
I don't want it to turn into another clone, though. And thought alot of the 'multi-type' and other ideas from MtG would be cool, they wouldn't fit with what Zanzarino has made. If you can't see that I am interested in Elments for itself, indeed in the rich 'new-ness' of it. If I have inflamed your precious feelings, then I am sorry. I began these ideas as a way to possibly help benefit the game and all of those who play it. Again, if this is something so highly offensive that it has caused you to hate me to all ends, then I am sorry for a friendship that has withered before it sprouted (to use a long, poetic analogy) and I sincerely apologize any pain I have given you.
