Vampire Shield | Vampire Aegis

[tintinwong]

haha lol. couldnt balance this. so much for trying.

NAME: Vampire Shield ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 4 TYPE: Permanant ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield: all your draining cards heals you twice as much	NAME: Vampire Aegis ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 6 TYPE: Permanant ATK|HP: TEXT: Shield: all your draining cards heals you trice as much

ART: N/A IDEA: tintinwong NOTES: since there are 3 draining health cards, overpowering the effect would not really be that bad. I was thinking of this card giving draining cards an extra "eclipse" instead but that would be too powerful. what do you think? SERIES:

The comments before my bump was referring to when this card effect was "Heal if your vamp stiletto/dagger attacks"

I would say that is a forced combo.

I would say that is a forced combo.

I would agree on that. If this shield comes out but the vamp dagger doesn't, it would be near useless. Guess something has to be done about that.
Thanks.

Let me think on it a bit and will the give suggestion.

Forced synergy with exactly one other card in game is almost always impractical at best (most players will prefer to use the card slot for more flexible cards like Drain Life or Steal), as ET mentioned above.

How about having it trigger whenever you Drain HP or Drain Quanta? It keeps the drain synergy, but improves on it to work with more cards in 's arsenal (Drain Life, Nightmare, Vampire Dagger, Pest), as well as a few cards outside of Darkness (Black Hole, Flooding).

Curse of Shadows is what came to mind while thinking of this.

Making this apply to any vampires you own would go a long way to avoiding "forced combo" issues.

That could work. Perhaps something like "All healing to you heals an additional +2". It'd allow much more synergy and not be a forced combo with 1 card.

[tintinwong]

Got rid of my first draft.

Now it is "Heal hp when you drain hp" rather than "Heal hp when vamp dagger attacks"

Thanks guys.

Still seems a bit UP. As of now, there are only a few cards that drain (DL, vampires), and there's a huge cost to play  (+50% efficiency unupped, +67% effiiency upped and 1 dr)

[tintinwong]

okay. tried again. is it better now?
