Is the Throw damage blocked by damage reduction or reflected by reflective shields? Or neither?

[TheAccuso]

why aether mark advantage, it has yet thunderbolts, i'd will say life.
i misread, anyway i like the general concept of deal damage to a target and come back to your hand, very nice idea.

[OdinVanguard]

Is the Throw damage blocked by damage reduction or reflected by reflective shields? Or neither?

As I envision it, it should be doing physical damage when thrown so I would guess damage reduction from shields would apply.
I still need to add the bonus to martial training so maybe it could be physical without but the training will give a chance to do spell damage and bounce to multiple targets... that would link in the and elements as well.
Any other ideas for the martial training bonus are welcome though.

[Zaealix]

Hrm...While I do get the 'spell damage' idea, I feel like that would be better set to a wand, or some weapon typically associated with mages, instead of a chakam, which brings to mind throwing weapons...

[Annele]

I like this idea, though 1 damage seems a bit weak. By the way, you don't need to add 'ranged' to the card text. It is sufficiant to add it to the notes.

[OdinVanguard]

Yes, the 1 damage is mostly to add a little flavor to the card to keep it from being too vanilla. It also gives a way to play other weapons without losing this one.
It occurs to me that it will be a rather poor choice for flying weapons.
Might be fun with crusaders though since it would act like a self cast reverse time (nice soft counter to CC).
With martial training, it will get a chance to bounce around, damaging other enemies. That should make it more of a threat.

I could bump the throw damage a little, I was just worried it would overshadow Owl's eye if I make it too large.

[OdinVanguard]

WOOT! My first card that's made it to Forge!

[thesudanman]

I like it. If I crusader the weapon, can I throw my crusader?

[OdinVanguard]

Kinky... but I would say, yes. So its like having a crusader w/ self rewind (sort of a soft anti-cc).

[Submachine]

This card is now in openEtG, though I haven't used it so far. I think it should be a useful splash in some decks, and if it is used when you have 7 cards in your hand, you can delay deckout with it.

[dracomageat]

A 1 for 1 damage to cost ratio with infinite reusability seems super strong. And in other no less.
One nova = 12 damage.
