Time-travelling Assassin | Time-travelling Assassin

what about if the discard absorbs some of your quanta, say  equal to halve the targets hp? or something along those lines. not sure how that to write that into the card. that way its harder to kill bigger creatures in the hand

The wording becomes quite difficult and complex if I add a secondary cost.

What about "If the opponent has a creature in his hand, force him to discard 1 card after the next time he draws."

[Brontos]

Good concept!, but not matching the initial spirit of the TTA.

creatures are mostly undead so I think the theme of assassin fits better in .

Although I think the name is cool in a campy sort of a way, I don't think it fits Elements because it's too descriptive. Calling it "Traveler" or something with a based skill called "Assassinate", basically does the same thing without being too descriptive. And if it was done that way, it could be creature with ability.

I'm not a huge fan of being able to see all the cards of your opponent. When combined with everything else, I think it could make this card OP. Why not just have it make creature cards visible?

I also dislike the death trigger thing because..

A) That's not how it usually works
B) It makes no sense because the theme is traveling back in time and kill the creature before it is even "born", so how can that trigger death effect in current time?
C) It's not really a big part of the effect, therefore it's just an unnecessary addition

Those are the "flaws" I could find. The basic concept is pretty good I think.

what about

  : assasinate
Look at the creatures in your opponents hand. Discard one creature for 1/2 their health in  quanta.

[Brontos]

I'd really like it to be death-time by concept. Even if, yes, it's sneaky as a kill and may fit darkness too.
 
For the ability, you got me on point B. You're right, it's kinda paradoxal to kill in the past, and to have a death effect in the present. I'll remove this on next update. It will give me some room to find a capacity name for him.

I need suggestions for a name, and a capacity associated that will be more elements style and still in the original spirit.

  : Out of time: look at creature cards in opponent's hand, and discard one of them.

You mean a name for the creature or the skill?

Creature:
Anachron (an anachronism is something that is out of its proper time)

other than that you already have the suggestion of temporal assassin


Skill:
Temporal paradox
Chronocide

On a side note. you could make the ability similar to maxwells demon, where you only discard creatures in the hand that meet certain conditions. like attack > HP.

I agree with russianspy. Since it's an assassin, the cost should be dark/death, and since its ability is the time-manipulating one, it should cost time.

that makes sense, i approve.

or HP > attack, so it synergizes with maxwells demon instead of overlapping with it.

Picture added.
Death effect removed.

Well, I don't see how it's a Death card if it doesn't "kill" the creature (and generate death effects). Should be Darkness?

[Brontos]

The dude goes back in the past, and kills whatever family of the target to prevent him from existing. It's a murder indirectly.

Also, I'd like to avoid creating a time-darkness discard card. I think gotp & nightmare already have a huge synergy.
