Darkness cards section suggestions

[TheonlyrealBeef]

As a master I want the Darkness section to look at it's best. Previous term I changed the format of most cards to contain more information, but I have run out of ideas on how to make it better. Hence I would like everyone to give feedback on what you want and expect of this section. It's meant for you, so by all means tell what you'd like in this section. I tried to leave out my personal opinion (like how to use a card, cards are most interesting when used differently than most would).

Please stay on topic! This question is posted in the wrong section entirely.

And TorB, how about adding the featured cards by Kuroaito to the respective topics? Maybe even adding popular decks wich use the cards, I'm willing to help you if you want, just pm me!

i agree. that would really help a lot of  runners out. me for 1.

also having a poll or vote that others could participate in on the most popular, favorite, ect... card, deck, ect...
i think that could help this thread out a lot. it would deffinately bring all us  runners together. also making a kind of strategy guide people could use against other decks.
but its all up to you really. im just pitchin ideas.

I'm personally a bit against listing popular decks with the cards since I find it important to get creative with cards, no one -not even me :P- should be telling you how you should use cards to build your own deck.

nightmare vs rainbow decks = too risky?? just a thought though, because i remember a fairly good amount of times, where people nightmare'd me, and i was able to use it as a fractal XD

I know exactly what you mean! I often use nightmare and I have learned that using it can have numerous benefits based on the situation. Even if the opponent can play one or more of the card you nightmare, you can strategically fill their hand with a card you want them to use, or you could simply be keeping them from drawing their own cards and taking advantage of the health drain. Nightmare really does not work very well if you use it on a cheap creature, especially against a rainbow deck that likely has only limited amounts of each quantum element.

Maybe you should create some sort of lore for each card..Not saying the whole elements story has to make sense. But maybe a bit of "background" information on a card. Maybe even text flavor/card flavor would be f**king sweet. Having some sort of  theme would be appropriate.

maybe have some sort of vote for what card combinations are best?

As Absol stated in another topic, we probably should start adding the wiki articles DIRECTLY to the topics in question to make them more 'beautiful'. Masters should know how their cards work, and by extension, should also correct discrepancies in the wiki articles to make them nicer (and more consistent between the 'wiki' and our boards). Perhaps you can start adding some of the older Darkness articles (such as Voodoo Doll and whatnot) to give your page more "pop"?

Hmm, since there are an extreme amount of card combinations a poll would be... inconvenient to say the least. Duos with Darkness is the second best thing, though. Replies specifying the actual card combination implied with this duo. On that note, I just re-added the polls since they were missing after the forum migration.

Hmm, I've never intensely looked at most of these articles (sorry :P) but I could look into it some time.

I think it would make the section much better, if there was a direct link to the section :3

Also, I'd allign the stuff in the Table differently:

Pretty Picture	a really really big text thingie	Pretty Picture
1	hp	1
this card is really totally uber awesome	huh?	this card is even better
right	center	left

looks prettier IMO.

Removing random spaces would be a improvement as well, like in "Nightmare | Nightmare" in the "Weakness" table, there is 1x no space in front of the "-" and 2x a space in front of the "-".

Another thing is that I'd make it look somewhat the same for all cards.
Compare "Nightmare | Nightmare" with "Drain Life | Siphon Life". -> one fat table vs. one thin table.

Nightmare | Nightmare is not up to date. The notes are outdated if you look at the GotP section in the notes. Didn't check the other cards, if there is something else outdated.
