Tripwire | Tripwire

[skyironsword]

SoSac would be insanely OP with this, tripwire and some SoSac is enough to kill a FG. I also don't think poison should count, since it doesn't target anything.

Taking these cards out of the picture would make this more balanced (at least SoSac) and it could be great for bluffing too.

Cards such as Heal and SoSac are not redirected to the opponent. They, for the purposes of the card, always target you. Which is why poison counts: For the purposes of the card, it always targets your opponent.

(... Unless you can target SoSac when you normally play it, in which case I have no idea what to do.)

I assume it has to be possible to target the spell.

What happens if the opponent tries to destroy this? or even steal it...

Not sure. Do you think it should trigger before or after? I mean, it's a tripwire, so logically if you tried to blow it up...

also important:
in which order are the cards cast?
highest-> lowest, lowest->highest, or random?

for example: the opponent has 3 hp, and I have a fire bolt and a holy light.
Not that i'd run this with holy light in my deck...

Random I suppose, unless anyone has a good idea for a different order.

The top cards in your hand to the bottom cards in your hand. 

[skyironsword]

Why top to bottom...?

[dragtom]

because that is oldest->lowest.

[skyironsword]

... But why should it be oldest to newest? You're not answering the question here.

I prefer a random order. It seems more coherent with a trap theme and having less control over the order would help balance this.

IMO I would want tripwire's cost to be lowered, and to have tripwire be destroyed after use. It would make the card more viable (lower cost) and add a least a little bit of counter play to it (IE, as soon as someone lays down a wire, you drop a spell).

[skyironsword]

Hm, that's an interesting thought. It means you have to reserve some extra card slots for many tripwires... Might add a poll

Intentionally triggering a trap to get rid of it does make sense.

[skyironsword]

Does it make sense for a tripwire to only work once? What do you think?

(Not gonna add a poll since those get like a vote an option anyways. I'll just ask in-thread.)
