New Shard ideas? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=34386.msg434059#msg434059

Okay, so i was talking with some people about why i think SoR stand for Shard of Repentance, when it stands for Shard of Readiness, and we came up with this. This first shard, i have to give violenceisanart credit for, as he came up with the idea.



For anyone who might not quite understand, here's an example: Say your opponent has 1 Shreiker on the field. It has attacked you for 5 turns. That means it has dealt 40 damage to you. If you were to use Shard of Repentance on it, you would be healed for 40 damage.

This second card i came up with the idea when i was looking at voodoo doll decks. It is the same idea as a voodoo doll, only you are the voodoo doll instead.



For an example for this card: Say you have 200 HP courtesy of a couple stone skins. If you use Shard of Bonds, and then Fire Bolt/Fire Lance yourself. You take 12 damage. Your opponent will also take 12 damage because Shard of Bonds is active.

Please leave constructive criticism below, i hope you like these shards. Let me know if you think they are OP, and how to nerf them.


The Third Shard i also came up with, Shard of Anguish. Since all fire creatures are fairly susceptible to CC, i thought this would give fire a fair advantage against them.

Nice ideas, though I'm no expert as design theory and card design.
I do like Shard of Bonds as is- it fits the revenge theme of :darkness quite nicely.

Shard of Repentance does seem rather OP, in my opinion. It costs 8 random quanta as opposed to antimatter's 8 entropy- making it easier to cast. And when you do cast it, it heals much more- ALL the damage means all the damage the creature has ever dealt, and if you've already been healed from other sources (healing stalls would love this), it could bring you to full hp for 8 random quanta, which is far more effective than a miracle. The effect is too unbalanced, though I do like the idea.

Shard of Anguish is okay, but I'm not sure why 'anguish' would be the term for it.  It also seems OP in terms of cost. You could immolate a photon, play a lava golem, and then play SoA from the random quanta generated by immolation to get another pheonix by turn 2.
