Card Idea Engine (Communal Card Creation)

I know it may be a little late but I just stumbled onto this thread and I'd like to contribute a trait :

Retaliation:
When you are damaged for X damage or more, creature attacks opponent.

This is meant to counter rushes, as the creature would attack the opponent for each  time your opponent's creatures attack and deal X damage.  As a result it forces your opponent to use CC or play weaker creatures.

Welcome to this thread, OldTrees is the leader of this. I guess i am kind of the co-leader. When OldTrees says we are almost done with the ambush series, I will post the Phase Series.

Welcome to the CCC thread. I was expecting you.

Good example of a mechanic.
(Needs a little expanding perhaps. Each mechanic needs to generate 6+ unique independent cards)
Currently we are not at the mechanic brainstorm step (yet).

The Current step is balancing the Phasing Mechanic and identifying the various unique independent cards that it could be a part of.

I am looking forward to what refining will be accomplished while I am "gone" during my family vacation.

A quick read over the steps and I'm pretty sure I can help out with this.  Also, I feel very welcomed.

Skimmed the concept of phasing.


I overall like the idea.  The existence of multiple phase abilities means that there is a lot of room for creation of creatures.  Also, phasing should have different triggers for different creatures e.g. one can only phase if it takes damage, another can phase willingly, and a third phases only if a spell is played.

Lots of potential in it.

[OldTrees]

Good.
Now is the time to start to flesh out the ideas for Phasing by making preliminary creatures with element, casting cost, stats, type of phasing phase and additional effects.

I expect to see at least 6 well developed ideas by new years when I return from my vacation.

Novice Phaser
Element: Aether
Cost: 3|2
Stats:3|3 / 3|4
Effect:  Minor Phases for 3 turns when a spell is played.

Phase Dragon
Element : Other (they need a legitimate creature anyway)
Cost : 10 | 12

Dancing Samurai
Element : Entropy

here´s one of my ideas posted recently http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,18308.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,18308.0.html)

also here´s a card idea,

  Open Rift| Open Portal
spell
grant a creature with the "phase" ability.

and another card idea:

  Auto Phaser|Auto Phaser(upgraded)
permanent
if there are more than 5 enemy creatures, all enemy creatures phase out for 2 turns
and this card is destroyed (only 1 Auto Phaser can be on the field)

and some ideas for a phase ability:
 -every time creature attacks, it phases out for 1 turn
-If targeted by spell, instead it phases out for 1 turn (one use)
-If devoured, enemy creature phases out for 6 turns
-every time creature attacks ´successfully´, it phases out, everytime it comes back it gains +3/0, if the creature does not phase, it´s stats reset to normal.
- phase: creature gains +3/0 and phases out for 1 turn. (one use)
- isolation: creature gains +10/0 and phases out for 5 turns.
- Mass warp: every turn for 4 turns, all creatures on the field phase to a random position on the field, at the end of this effect, creatures remain in their latest position permanently.

Here is the Air Phase Creature.

Stratus Flyer

[Flayne]

a new card idea thats based on phasing:

NAME: Bypass ELEMENT: COST: 10 TYPE: spell ATK|HP: ***Insert att|hp*** TEXT: All your are consumed, all creature cards in your hand are played for 2 turns, at the end of the effect, all phased creatures and their by-products are destroyed.	NAME: Bypath ELEMENT: COST: 9 TYPE: spell ATK|HP: ***Insert att|hp (upgraded)*** TEXT: All your are consumed, all creature cards in your hand are played for 2 turns, at the end of the effect, all phased creatures and their by-products are destroyed.

ART: only doing art if people accept the idea IDEA: Flayne NOTES: *by-products are creatures generated by the phased creature, (ex. by-product of Pharaoh = scarab) SERIES: ***Insert series name and link to series page (if any)***

[OldTrees]

@Flayne
Phasing is the mechanics of switching between untargetable and targetable. (either direction, varying durations)

@everybody.
I like most of the ideas so far. Keep honing these ideas to publishable quality and coming up with more.

[Nepycros]

If necessary, could you make an analysis of my Archetype card Aspiration | Ascendance, in order to determine whether or not it should retain its current ability, or change into a format of phasing.
