Vote for Winner: Best Card Idea

[Delreich]

11) Spellbreaker: Am I right in assuming that all Spell cards played by your opponent will have their effects changed into "Deal 3 damage to Spellbreaker"? If so, what happens when Spellbreaker gains the Immaterial status? Would the Spells' effect not be changed, or does it permanently alter all your opponents' spells into "Deal 3 damage to Spellbreaker"? (via Quintessence or Anubis.)

You are correct on your initial assumption. If it is quinted, it will still take damage and die. It exerts itself to stop the spells, and eventually dies from exhaustion.

Right now Crusader is in the lead, with Loki and Inevitable behind. I'll be glad if my own card can make the second/third place.

For those that haven't voted yet: Please vote for Crusader! It's currently in the lead, but please keep it up there by casting your vote!

It would have been interesting to see what the results would have been like if there were no images, only text.

We have to improve the image quality in the next competition so that there won't be cards that look better and have an unfair advantage. After all this competition is supposed to be about the idea, not the art.

Crusaded might have still won because it is a pretty good idea, but I'm sure it would have been a closer battle.

Sg, I have an idea.

Since card images built with the template are much more looked at than plain text, what about a contest where the card image is left blank? Or filled up with a gradient, or just a single color.

Before voting, I'd like for all card makers to justify how their card specifically contributes to a Mono-Deck of their card element. Bonus points if you can make out a combo with existing cards from your specific element.

Air has no useful way of dealing with Immaterial creatures. It does have Fog Shield which can help, but this is a better counter because it allows you to use air's abundance of creature control on them (Owl's Eye, Thunderstorm).

Mostly this isn't designed explicitly to promote mono-decks as it's a support card - though it could be very useful in one. It's more designed to promote people taking Air in duo- or trio- decks.

The element choice could even change; I chose Air partly because it fits the theme of the card and partly because Air needs some better support cards right now.

5) Glitterdust: Just to clarify, does this include creatures on your side of the field as well?

As written, yes.

I thought about it at first but that would make the competition boring. It's nice to have some pictures to go with the idea. Sometimes the picture even helps you to understand the idea faster.

I'm collecting a list of links to some very cool art websites as we speak. When we have the next tournament, people can just use one of these links to get an image (or find one themselves if they choose so). This way  everyone has a quality image.

This is probably a good place to start: http://www.fantasygallery.net/ (http://www.fantasygallery.net/)

Also I'm adding some link to galleries by individual artists, like Jason Engle.

Personally, I would like new cards to strengthen their respective elements to create stronger Mono-Decks, so I will be casting my vote(s) based on how much it helps its own element. I know this may be unfair to a few of the cards with an activated ability requiring quantums from another element, so I'll have all of you card makers answer some questions I have for all the cards so that you may attract someone else's votes.

Here's questions for all the cards. (If any of them are already answered in previous posts, just point me to the page and I'll look it up.)

25) Quantum Scales: What do you mean by "balances 10 quantum between elements"?

The problem with this competition is that the idea is neutered down to what you see on the card. That was Scaredgirl's condition. This is not what happens in a real think tank for card design (well in any that I have participated in anyhow) but is what the voting is suppposed to be based on.

Here is a link to my original post for the submission section.
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2128.msg22903#msg22903 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2128.msg22903#msg22903)

The card is not generally useful for a mono-type deck unlesss you need a particular quantum to fuel your activated abilities. It will guarantee access to all quantum types but you will be having your mono quantums distributed which may be a disadvantage at the same time.

For dual / trio / rainbow decks, after you have spread your first lot of quanta you are at an advantage because you are now guaranteeing any quanta you require albeit in limited amounts when compared to long term Quantum Pillars. This limits the use of Farenheit, Drain life, Fire Bolt etc, but they should be restricted as they are designed for monotype decks.

The Balancing effect is an absorbing of your current quantums and then returning them to you so the quantums are spread evenly amongst all elements if possible. Mechanics are somewhat unknown as I have not and would never pull apart the game code to see what makes it tick. So to make the idea easily implemented, it absorbs 10 quanta then triggers a nova burst.



if you have any other queries I'd be happy to answer.

SG, just one question: how about multiple accounts? I din't read all posts in this discussion, but is allowed more than one vote fo IP adress??? 
Just to express my opinion, the answer is NO.

Multiple accounts are strictly forbidden in the forum rules.

Our forum software restricts you from making more than one account per IP, and if you get caught using two IP's and two accounts, both of those accounts will be permanently banned.
