Jester | Joker

I think this card is a combination of, ell more a situation thing, lets say the enemy has a 50/50 forest spirit, cast antimatter and vampire then use this, and it attacks at the end of your turn giving you hp.

I think the good thing about it is that it also damages what it taunts, that way whatever survives attacks twice, whether if it is your creature or your opponent's. That is if changes are made to accommodate jmizzle's suggestion for the text and effect. It's not likely someone would play a Guardian Angel just to attack multiple times, but, it would make as a fun pinger with a side effect. Probably mutating the creature you used it on wouldn't be nice on the quanta, making it balanced as well.

this + purple nymph = winz

The ability is worded to be more complicated than it needs to be. Just have it read...

: Taunt
Deal 1 (2) damage to target creature. That creature gains an extra attack next turn.

I think this wording is very clear and produces a desired, balanced effect.

I agree with Jmizzle7 about complication.

The Purple Nymph is already a better option than the Joker because you can simply Antimatter more targets and take less damage and gain more life. Other than the situation given earlier why else would I want to use this card?

You might not have a purple nymph.

CURATOR COMMENT
- There is a point in that the ability being overly complex making it attack in your own turn during your own attack. Could it plausibly just resolve an attack against you immediately? or there is the suggestion made by Jmizzle7

[assassim]

Yeah, That's how I thought of it at first, but wasn't sure how it would look in the current UI so I changed it to gain an extra attack at the end of your turn.

[Avenger]

I wouldn't say it 'gain an extra attack' as multiple uses on the same creature shouldn't cause multiple attacks.
It would more like: 'will attack you in your end of turn'.
And i also agree with Kael Hate, that better would be if the attack is resolved immediately.
This is a fun effect!

Should be "loses" instead of "losses."  Love the art, but I feel like  already goes together.

[tk13]

Nice.  I'm a fan.

[Mastermind79]

I would like to make a deck with this and freak people out with clowns.

Idea seems unique and balanced. Good job.

[smuglapse]

I love the art on this card.

And there are several different marginal cases that would keep this card interesting and goes with the jester theme.
A few I can think of that I haven't seen listed:

- If the opponent has a card with a dangerous activated ability and is one step away from death (due to poisoning or fire shield) you can deny the use of the ability.
- You could force the opponent's high attack cards to hit your bone wall first ensuring that they get blocked.
- You could also target your own high attack creature if you are going for Elemental Mastery so that vampires or feral bonds would get their shots in before you win.
- Target your own scavenger if a number of your own creatures are about to die.

Cool idea.
