Pre-Smithy Ideas

[rohlfo]

One of Zblader's ideas got me onto this:

creature, perhaps called Troll
with lowish attack and highish HP
ability: charge: swap attack and HP for 1 turn.

things to decide
- should 'charging' make you need a turn to recover (i.e. 1 round of time bubble)?
- I'd like it to be dual elements, which two do people think best (as in for card and ability)?
- would this just be too OP with things like BB?

[/spoiler]

Pegasus Naito?
Considering BB, I'd say 1 turn to recover or a dual-non  ability cost would make sense. Actually, this card could be  and the ability could be  .

or one could create it as Pegasus Knight with  and  like I originally intended.

Def not earth for that reason I guess. life and grav works for me.
Is that how you intended it? I didn't quite understand the mechanic from reading the card I think (as in if it was for one turn, or until you used the ability again kinda thing etc)
Tis a good idea, we could keep yours for the alternate upgrade series, but also co-create a stand alone card with this mechanic if you want? I imagined a troll having this - tough, think skinned creature (high HP) but a bit stupid and charging headlong into opponent will cause more damage, but also chance to injure itself (more attack, less HP) kinda thing?

could cause some kind of growth in a creature? the thought here would be a creature that is subject to intense gravitational forces. survival at first would be questionable but then the creature adapts and embraces the intense gravity field.

I don't really see it as 'growth'. The idea is it charges, so picking up speed and by the time it's about to hit your enemy it can't slow down due to natural forces (the  bit) which make it have a hefty impact on collision, but makes it obv more vulnerable as well (which is shown by having the low attack switch with the high HP)

I would like to make a Series using these.

Those images are very abstract thus the theme would need to be abstract.

I think this would fit best with a new mechanics that had very strong thematic ties to the element and to the element's personality.

I think this would be a good project for the CCC. (it even ties into the 3rd competition: New Time mechanic)

So how do we want to use them?

only just read this, been away all day, first suggestion posted in the other thread, would here be better for further development/ideas?

Cool images! well, the time one definitely looks like a wormhole.
And i don't know if this will help, but they all remind me of this card: (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=96891&type=card) (gotta love the flavor text )
So by that, perhaps it could be, as the quote on the card says: Plasomdermic. and you can make a creature per element from there.
Do you plan on all permanents, spells, or creatures?

What should we do with this?

[OldTrees]

Flayne's art is great but the card reminds me of a Gravity Mark.

That's the point OT, this inspired the gravitons insignia in the 12 Realms Fanfic. I think I'll use it, since I've already made Flame Archer in correlation with 12 Realms, and seeing this inspired me.

918 is making the card.
