ART: Steaphan Greene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2-Dice-Icon.svg IDEA: ChemMan13 NOTES: I know that people often curse the RNG when their dusk mantle fails or nothing ever seems to go your way, so I thought, why not change that? Presenting entropy's answer for bad luck... a second chance. -Multiple copies will not stack, just provide some protection against PC -If both players have a copy, then the effects cancel (no repeated attempts) -Thematically, santuary cancels this card's effects -Examples of chance based effects include:  -shields   -skull shield: if enemy creature doesn't die to unholy, retry occurs                  if your creature would die to unholy, retry occurs   -thorn carapace: if enemy creature doesn't get infected, retry                    if your creature would get infected, retry   -ice shield: if enemy creature doesn't freeze, retry                if your creature would freeze, retry   -fog shield: if enemy creature would hit, retry                if your creature would miss, retry   -dusk mantle: if enemy creature would hit, retry                 if your creature would miss, retry  -Other cards:   -chaos seed: if effect doesn't kill enemy creature, retry                if effect would kill your creature, retry   -mutation (card and elf's ability): if enemy creature doesn't die, retry                                       if your creature would die, retry   -pandemonium: if effect doesn't kill enemy creature, retry                 if effect would kill your creature, retry   -ice bolt: if enemy creature doesn't freeze, retry              if your creature would freeze, retry   -shard of freedom: if enemy creature would get critical, retry                      if your creature doesn't get critical, retry I think that is all of them, but please post if you think of more.

Seems well thought-out. The problem is that this card would have to be updated each time a new chance card comes out.

I suppose, I have no experience in how the cards are coded, but could the dice card create a second check loop that is activated whenever a RNG calculates a card effect, and then only use this secondary loop under the conditions like creature death, or status conditions? Any suggestions on how this card could be less complex coding wise?

That can be easily fixed.  Just tack on a marker to each effect code, and then the dice will read the effect marker and decide if the effect needed to be redone or not.

In any case, whether it's difficult to code or not shouldn't affect whether it's a cool card or not.

It's a simple mechanic with concrete and well thought-out interactions with other cards that can be extended to future cards. +1

This card has already been positively reviewed by Pineapple. I can only say the same. And it fits perfect thematically. Bravo!

[ChemMan13]

Cool, is there anything that I should do for it to be considered for moving up in the Crucible? (This is my first major idea that has been this well received, and that members have actually said could be plausible.) Maybe add a poll?

You did not provide a source for the art for the curator to verify whether it's copyrighted or open-source (and if the artist has requested permission before use, you should say somewhere that you have received permission). Alternatively, you can use a stock image, for example http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1256359 (remember to include the source in the "Art" section of the table).

Now, formatting. You should change the forward slash character "/" in the topic title (edit the topic in your opening post) to a pipe character "|". I would move your opener/introcution into the "Notes" section of the table. Finally, the un-upgraded card, in both the card image and table, seems to have an extra space in its name "Lop-Sided  Dice".

Everything else looks good.
