Flagbearer | Flagwaver

[Pella]

Agree with Drake and WIIDGC.  ANY duo is a legitimate duo.  Just because it hasn't been done before (much) doesn't mean it can't be done.  Sometimes, a new card is all that's missing to create a new synergy.  Go for it!!

Well! All right then! Earth/Air it is.

EDIT: Updated.
Experimenting with the upped's mechanic. Tell me if it runs.

"All other creatures gain +1/+0 until Flagwaver leaves play."

Would that work?

It sounds like they keep gaining +1s until Waver leaves, which is right, but it could be misinterpreted to mean that they keep the buffs afterwards, which I want to avoid.

I'll change it to "All other creatures gain +1/+0. Lasts until Flagwaver leaves play" once I get an image.

[whatifidogetcaught?]

If they keep gaining 1's, then a better way is "All other creatures gain +1/+0 every turn. Lasts until flagwaver leaves play".

[krackocloud]

Well, they can keep gaining 1s, but each buff is triggered by 2 more .

Hmm... The unupped seems ok to me in terms of balance. Does the +2 attack buff stack? If it does, then I think a higher cost and according stats would be good to prevent fractal abuse.

The upgraded version is a little odd. If I'm reading it right, it would allow you to continually buff the attack of all creatures. This will probably be OP. Particularly if used combined with fractal.

Also, the mechanic is sufficiently different from the unupped that you should probably give it a unique name.

Balancing and fractal / mitosis abuse aside, I do think its a pretty cool card idea.

I find it interesting that you chose for the duo... I would have thought to use myself, but air seems to fit well with the flag concept.

+2 does not. Since it only lasts one turn, you have to keep paying for it each turn if you want it to stay.

I didn't think much about having multiples. You bring up a good point. I could just increase the cost again, unless there's a more creative way to balance it while keeping the basic mechanic...

Also, the mechanic is sufficiently different from the unupped that you should probably give it a unique name.

I'll probably just call it 'patriotism' then.

I also chose because rally gave me the impression that Bearer would shout at all his comrades to invigorate them. And shouts and sound are kind of airy I guess.

Turns out I never added an image to this, nor Crucibled it.

So! I got an image in. If anyone has any last remarks before I Crucible this, go for it.

[OdinVanguard]

As long as the attack buff doesn't stack, it seems fair enough to me.

The big difference from eclipse, of course, is that the opponent's creatures aren't similarly affected... although that is minimal since this would occur infrequently.

[kaempfer13]

you can make a viable creature-only deck with this, using damsels, gemfinders, wyrms, wardens and this card (ok quanta would be a bit tight).

Maligant cells, six flagwavers. Novelty deck but hilarious.
