Weapon Card Contest Entry: Sol Viajante

[Novelo]

>>
Sol Viajante means Sun Wanderer in portuguese, written in a peculiar - and wrong - way (because the literal translation would be Wanderer Sun).

Flying weapon status: 2+N/5

Example: the opponent have 5 quantum pillars and you use the Focus of the Horizon Skill. The pillars will gain a effect called "Lighthouse" and those 5 pillars will add +5 attack on the weapon, being an 7 weapon. If the enemy play another quantum pillar, it will be on a separated from the affected ones. If the skill is used again, the unafected pillars will gain lighthouse effect, raise the attack of the weapon and gather with the effected pillars, since they're now the same kind of pillars.

And sorry for my bad English and convoluted explanation.

Most people run 10-15 pillars in a deck.  So for 2 light, you could have a max 17 damage weapon?  On average, at least 5 are out pretty soon.  So that's at least 7 damage pretty quickly, with only a 2 cost to get even stronger?  A tad strong, no?

Fahrenheit does 7 damage almost right away, can do way more than 17 damage by the end of a game, and you pay less for it. to keep this weapon dealing more damage, you have to be investing  probably every turn. i would hardly call it over powered. that being said, light already had a weapon that just does damage, so i don't really like a card that just does more damage. if we were to have another light weapon, i'd like to see an ability that creates more interaction with the board.

Hmm, that's a good point.  I didn't think that out as well as I should.

Love the name and art. Hate the effect.

Really nice art. (Like it partly it's like some Protoss structure) I'm feeling I got beaten. But this competition is about the idea but not art, right? (Although most people, including me, judge cards base on the art)

For the effect, raise to 3 and it's balanced

[assassim]

This would tear the FGs a new a**hole those guys can easily get 20+ pillars in mid game

I like the card, the concept is really nice and I don't find this to be OP at all. Good job !

[Glitch]

Hmmm, the only problem I have with it is stack splitting, which hasn't been done before.  Perhaps, the stack would get a counter element to it, like Hope has?  That way, it would say how deep the stack is and how many are lighthouse'd, but I'm just being nit-picky.  As far as the name goes, it's cool, but doesn't fit well with elements.  I guess now would be a good time to start the scoring.

Start with 3.
+1 art.
-1/2 ability.
+ 1/2 name.
- 1/2 no synergy.

3.5/5 is my ranking.

Interesting idea, counter strategy; if you already had 15-20 pillars, you can nuke your own pillars with a trident and still win (who needs that much quanta). If you have a dissapshield who cares if the opponent doesn 25 damage with a weapon, you generate 60 quantum per turn. Never got whether that was 180 damage blocker per turn or just 60.

[lunter]

Well the card itself seems a little OP, really, you can play thsi card with a fully up deck in the second turn and already do 6 damage maybe just lighthousing 2 pillars every time (Offtopic: sol viajante means also the same in spanish, would be nice to have a spanish card in the game)

[Lucifear]

The name is a good idea, and the effect isn't bad...
I'm just pretty sure that the art is stolen.
