poison berry

[marks]

i thought life needed a spell against enemy creatures so here is what i made

poison berry
cost 6
has a 75% chance of hitting the creature
if it works target creature has a 50% chance of missing every turn

any pictures comments or anything please

idk, life is about healing not hurting opponent creatures...
On the other side, the card is really nice balanced. Good job.

I always liked thinking of life (green) as the forest as well as its inhabitants...
Life's creature control should be like water's:

Vines: 2 - Target creature with power <5 can't attack for 3 turns. If that creature has dive, it also takes 3 damage.

Pit Trap: 3 - Target creature with power >1 takes 3 damage.

Falling Tree: 5 - Destroy target creature with power >10. This cannot target creatures with dive.

Bed of Pinecones: 3 - Shield: Creatures with power <4 take 1 damage.

yeah, the last one's a little silly I know... just havin fun

Nice ideas MadEvil. As to the first card:

It is balanced and a good effect but the proability of it doing anything would drive me nuts. Like a lot of others here I prefer to get away from the random effect and if it is to stay move it over to Entropy.

Thanks for the card idea though it is a well thought out card the only thing that irks me is the % chance of working.

Thanks

you misread...what the card means is that if the power of a card is less than 5, then the ability comes through. If the power is 5 or greater, the card does nothing. Think of a giant Dragon crashing through a forest...do you think a bunch of vines are really gonna stop it? That's the basis for what I was thinking.
Basically, there's no % chance of working or not. If power is 5 or more, nothing happens, you shouldn't have played it anyways (knowing that power is 5 or more, since it can't change during the time the card is played).

I've always had problems with percentages.  They seem like a copout.

I've never really had much fun using random-type cards until playing Elements. That still doesn't mean I entirely like it, I still enjoy the non-random aspects of games more, and I'm glad Elements has a little of both to keep it from being quite the grind...at least I can see what kind of wierd mutants pop up, and how much I get from my Quantum Tower vs. how much 

But the point is, so far I have not designed any cards that include any random chance. I've played far too many other games for my mind to think that way after this long...

My Apoligies MadEvil I meant the first card in the thread, Poison Berry, yours I understand perfectly and they have much advantage over a random hit %.

Thanks and sorry about that

"Oh, nevermind."

No Problems.

I'd rather play a Dusk Mantle and do this to all creatures with 100% initial probability. They both cost 6.

...drop the cost or make it affect all with this 75% for each. Useless as of now.

you guys could change it a bit. I just thought life needed something against enemy creatres
