Card Idea Engine (Communal Card Creation)

So, maybe a absorb 2    and a cost of 4 might be appropriate?

If you expect an average of 5 creatures per turn then yes.

Well, we need to consider the how the production of different elements works.

If this is in a mono-water deck, it is producing water, but costs to start, and is dependent on creatures.
If this is in a water-something duo, it produces both elements (probably) but to a small degree, and requires water upkeep, which, in a duo, is harder.
That is worsened for a trio.

In a rainbow, you have some creatures from each deck, and after those creatures are played, that element becomes much less important to generate.

Thus, I think even if we can expect more than 5 monsters, this would be a fair cost/upkeep.

What would M_cell generate  or random?

[doublecross]

In the style of malignant cells (which is that they should bother the player who has them) they would not produce anything.

Would the art from here better fit your needs?

That could work. Emerald, you are the best.

You want to do the honours of making the card? (You could get the glory if it makes it to the top, and rightly so)

I will draft the CCC's seal this weekend or sooner.

The next competition will begin on Monday, Voting will open on Friday and close on Sunday.
You have the rest of this week as a head start

New Competition:
Time has Rewind and Hasten
Expand upon the Time and or memory aspects of Time by creating 1-3 cards that each have a NEW mechanic. Since this is the third competition I will be a little harsher with the qualification. I do not want to see an old ability modified. Try to shock me with a thematically logical but innovative idea.

[OldTrees]

New competition:
What is a new mechanic for Time?
 Voting for New Time Mechanic Begins
 Voting for New Time Mechanic Ends

Requirements:
Entries must not use a mechanic that is in the game as of now. These are to be unique ideas.
Authors need to agree to the voting rules below.
All card ideas need to have an individual thread in the Smithy.
All card threads must have the crucible ready table.
Card Ideas do not need art.

Ideas judged to be not unique enough will be turned down with an explanation of what part is derivative from a previous mechanic. A card can be disqualified if the ability becomes derivative. This includes new cards appearing in the In Development section or Card Changes section.

The top third or less of entries will win the competition.
The bottom third or less of entries will agree to forgo the crucible in there form as presented in the voting option summary.
The middle third or more will have the option to compete again in the crucible but probably should be improved significantly before attempting.

Each member can enter 1-3 entries.

I would like card ideas/critism, and votes for the Card Designer Challenge : Your Own Rare? (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21688.0.html). If the CCC could participate/critique the cards, that would be greatly appreciated.

[doublecross]

So, my idea for a new time mechanic would be a creature than has much higher attack than what it's cost justifies, but every turn it has a 30% chance to case reverse-time on itself.


Also, would you guys mind looking at my new card? http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22033.0.html

Permanent control, moar Time-Nightmare synergy, and a memory theme that actually makes sense this time.
What's not to like? (Besides my bad puns...)

[doublecross]

I like this. (Repress)
