Verdict | Judgement

I still find Procrastination better. It delays attack and skills every other turn, as opposed to just skills.

Also, fix the table. In the table, it says card name is "Mercy or Justice?".

Thanks. Fixed.

Hmm...

Mercy seems a bit powerful to me.

It's too easy just to run a dirk or sword to overwrite it, and it does 60 damage over 3 turns for 5 ... against higher HP enemies even more.

I have never seen Mercy's type of effect given to a Light like element. The only place I have seen it was on a Black MTG card.

Justice is interesting. Although I am not sure if Light contains that mechanical theme (temporary ability suppression).

Both effects are meant take a harsher 'Knight Templar' view on Light's theme - (Cruel) Mercy keeps the enemy alive (as a non-interventionist/kinder element, Light would probably condone the obliteration of enemies) to instead deal greater damage (I kept you alive, but you must endure the suffering your crimes has caused), while (Indiscriminate) Justice is laid out to those that attempt to harm a supposedly 'nonaggressive' element (Supress all that resist us, punish them for trying to disrupt our way of life).

Hmm. Fits a manipulating and controlling element. Strangely that seems (to me) to be more the motif of Darkness than Light.

I view it more as a deconstruction of Light's generic 'peaceful shining knights and holy priest' tendencies. Both effects are intended to be more straightfoward/obvious than manipulating/controlling/deceiving. (e.g. Justice's simple 'this is what happens' as opposed to Dusk Mantle's 'you may or may not hit')

I absolutely love this idea. I personally feel that mercy is a bit strong and should be reduced to 12 damage, but the shield of judgment is fantastic as it is.

If Mercy's damage is reduced, it should have a lower stopcap.

Added poll for damage/damage cap, please vote.

I like the concept, but Mercy might high a too high risk/reward effect imho.
