Weaken | Cripple

[Xenocidius]

Wow, it buffs Voodoo Doll too. Win!

I'm not sure if you're suggesting that it's OP or merely pointing it out, but in any case: 2 Unstable Gases > Voodoo Doll combo.

[EvaRia]

Voodoo (2 ) 2 BBs (2 ) 1 Weaken (2 ) 1 PU (6  ) is an OTK.

I dunno, it's pretty scary thinking that 3 ttws are possible with that combo.

Screenshot of 3rd turn, only my second try.

Hmm ... yikes.

I can think of a possible fix: both versions lower maximum HP (no damage, just debuff). Depending on how the game is coded, it should fix it. Upped version cost is decreased by 1.

[EvaRia]

Hmm....

Definitely needs fixing, yeah.

After thinking it's possible to 2 TTW, which is taking things too far.

Opening hand 2 Nova 2 Towers 1 PU 1 Voodoo 2 BB

Play Novas/Towers. End turn. 7 , 2 , 2 , 2 . All you need.

Next turn, draw a Weaken.

Play Voodoo, drop 2 BBs on it. Weaken does 59 damage. PU doubles 59, doing 118 total, which is completely unstoppable.

It used to reduce the max HP to 1, but was changed, thinking that there wouldn't be much change if it only set the current HP to one. I guess this should be reverted back...

[Xenocidius]

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out.

I guess we can't haz 2-turn wins.

[Thalas]

Fixed.

I would now increase cost by 1.

[Pineapple]

Fixed.

I would now increase cost by 1.

Since there isn't much creature healing in the game (only Holy Light/Flash and Angel), the current mechanic is situational enough to warrant a cost as low as "...set HP..."

I like this card, but i'm not sure if it's balanced or it needs a little buff.
Maybe a soft side effect? Like triggering a death effect (but then it would need a name that justify the pseudo-death)?

Interesting idea. Maybe Reap (the name of one of my old ideas)?

I think it's an appropriate name. I was thinking something like Coma or Apparent Death, but i was not satisfied with them. Maybe these names are best suited for other mechanics.

pretty much gem of weakness as a death card
