WANDS!

[Essence]

WANDS CURRENTLY IN EXISTANCE:

The Pseudocaster (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4032.0.html) (Kael Hate)
Wand of Xaos (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5603.msg63244#msg63244)
Wand of Tartarus (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6290.msg71919#msg71919)


MORE UPCOMING!


I don't have time to do art for this idea, but here's the basics:

Each element gets a new weapon.  Each new weapon shares a few stats; specifically, they all deal 1 damage per turn to the opponent, they all cost 4 quanta to cast, and they all have an activated ability that reads as follows:

4(RELEVANT QUANTA TYPE): If you have 7 or less cards in your hand, add (CARDNAME) to your hand at the end of your turn.

The cards that would be added are as follows:

  -  Spark
  -  Shockwave
  -  Steal
  -  Poison Plague
  -  Protect Artifact
  -  Chaos Seed
  -  Rain of Fire Cremation
  -  Gravity Pull
  -  Heal
  -  Holy Flash Blessing
  -   Fate Egg
  -  Ice Bolt


These cards would only be available through Oracle spins, like the Nymphs.  Obviously, when you upgrade the wand, you upgrade the card received from the wand (and nothing else about it.)   It's only really relevant to Chaos Seed, which becomes entirely different when upgraded.


Thoughts?

I supouse it doesn't just create the card in your hand, like fractal does?
Because if so, Wand of Death+Water Death duo, will be extremely OP.
Not to mention that I feel like light is getting the shortest straw among these wands.

I'd have to look at the numbers, but arsenic might be better, actually....

Duoing these with flying weapon might be a problem...

[Essence]

Wow, Cyxnos, you're right!  Let's fix that...


Better?


(And yes, it does create the card in your hand, like Fractal but just 1 copy of the relevant card.)


And Gl1tch, you're right.  Obviously flying weapon stats will all be 1/1. 



I should explain the reasoning here a little: I wanted to make the wands create SPELLS, not permanents or creatures.  Fate Egg comes up because Time only has 2 spells (Reverse Time and Precognition), and they're both already available "on a stick".  Spark is essentially a spell and I didn't want to bite too much on Shockwave by including Lightning Bolt.

Ha. That actually makes me think of the deck possiblities. Makes Light-Fire(Rage Potion) ALLOT more viable now.
But I'm still wondering whether it creates the card like fractal does, or does it actually search it among the deck and pull it out? Because thats what I believe makes the difference between the possiblity of it being OP.

Answered. And ha, that makes it op in my case.
But I still think its a good idea. Opens up allot of options.
But I do wonder how would you exactly acquirethese wands?

These cards would only be available through spins, like the Nymphs.

Wrong?

Anyway, some or OP, some are UP. I don't think it could work...

Ultimate anti-deckout card?

Portect Artifact will be its best friend.

Essence means Oracle spins, not slot spins.

Ok. For me, spins = not Oracle spins.
