Card Idea Engine (Communal Card Creation)

[Flayne]

@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.

oh i see what you mean, thanks for the heads up

[EmeraldTiger]

i just thought two phase cards both  Details need to be figured out all i have are names. Aether Well | Aether Well and Well Keepers | Well Masters.

Edit: For the phase series.  I need to see what we have In an organised easy to understand format.

BTW I vote EVERY NAME currently in the active members header list is part of The Communal Card Creation Team

This post seems to have been very ninja-ish, it seems to have slipped past the Unread post notificiation, which is why you may not gotten replies (in response to your PM).

Anyway, I will try to create at least one of the mentioned cards when I get some time.

Forgive my noobiness, where is the active member header list?

[OldTrees]

Please do not create individual threads for these ideas until after they are exposed in a series thread for awhile

I agree that all contributors (people who posted in this thread) should be considered members of the CCC.
A list of this is near the top of the thread but below the poll.

I think Aether Well would be a permanent with Minor Phase as an ability.
Well Keeper could be a creature with Phasing In or Phasing Out as an ability.

Current compilation of Phasing ideas (I will double post a refined compilation)

Phasing Out N,M
Type: Passive
Effect: After N turns being targetable this card becomes untargetable for M turns. This repeats after another N turns.

Minor Phasing In N
Type: Passive
Effect: After N turns being untargetable this card becomes targetable.

Minor Phasing Out N
Type: Passive
Effect: After N turns being targetable this card becomes untargetable.

Phase N,M
Type: Active(Activated)
Effect: Target becomes untargetable and gains Phasing In N,M as a passive ability. This effect replaces any previous Phasing passive.

Minor Phase N
Type: Active(Activated)
Effect: Target becomes untargetable for N turns. This effect replaces any previous Phasing passive.

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


Don't forget this one.

[OldTrees]

I think we have enough parts and assembled creatures for you to make the series thread with your selection and additions Emerald Tiger. Remember that a series requires 6 cards minimum.

[EmeraldTiger]

I would like to give everyone a job on this team. If there are any jobs that are needed but not listed feel free to make a suggestion. Our main mission is to come up with new a exciting ideas together. I want our secondary mission to make card curators job easier. I want our third mission to be figuring why ideas fail. I have my ideas of who should do what job, but I will leave that up for discussion.

Leader 1 position
Co-Leader 1 position

Analytics 4 positions
Critical eyes 3 positions
Art 4 positions
Idea Promoters 4 positions

[Nepycros]

Mind giving a little more insight as to exactly what the "analytics" and "critical eyes" do? I'm interested in one of the 2.

[EmeraldTiger]

@Nepycros
critical eye look at an idea from the meta-game aspect and can find holes in concepts.
yes you could this
analytics is more of what OldTrees does im not sure how else to describe it.
yes you could this
the third thing I think you are good at is Idea Promotion you fairly well at selling ideas to the community.

[Pineapple]

"...what OldTrees does..."
You mean looking at the card-cost patterns in in-game cards and creating heuristics which he then uses to base the costs of new card ideas on?

I'd like to be the guy who looks at the giant wall of text and says "I'm pretty sure that can't be coded... ^^;;"
Which one is that?
