Remove words that arent necessary.

Suggested rewording:

Gain 1  when played.



Suggested rewording:
Change it to 5/(permanent symbol)
In card description just put down the effect

Just makes the game seem more smooth to me. The wording seems uneccesary and cluttered
Abilities with Names, just as web/devour, could just have the name on them, or even a symbol to represent it. Other card games (notably magic) do this.

I actually liked the redundant wording for Towers and Web, don't ask me why, it just felt sort of... ETG-ish.
Also, 5 / Permanent Symbol? Do you mean new a symbol that symbolizes weapons? I don't really like that, it just seems better to me when I can have a straight-out explanation of what the card does.

It's to help new players. A more worded and descriptive description helps when you first use that card or see it used. 5/(permanent symbol) is rather different and could be potentially confusing. It has five attack and then a symbol for HP? That doesn't correlate with the rest of the game. Even if all the weapons were like that.

Some can be worded better, like your tower suggesting.

And for some abilities to just have a name or a symbol is a horrible idea, no offense. It's completely deterring for new players. More experienced players like us would know them easily, but new players wouldn't have a clue. They'd have to either understand it through seeing it played, or just experiment for themselves. Even if there is a pop up window or something that would explain the ability, having the description of the ability on the card is best and more user friendly.

Well, yes. I'm down. Been sayin' it for months now. I'd even be willing to help.

I mean having the regular permanent symbol, but having it be 5/permanent symbol to symbolize 5 attack and for defense it is "permanent" This would just be to remove the wording of the "deal 5 damage on each attack"

If you're going to go that far adding HP would make Flying Weapon make more sense too.

Atk|Def permanent symbol would make sense. The one symbol prevents it for being mistaken for a creature while it also gets rid of the vagueness of another card.

That makes things a bit more confusing. it has attack, and HP, yet cannot be outright attacked? That's how a lot of people will see it and if it were to happen, lots of questions like "How can I hurt the opponent's weapon?" would come up. Keeping permanents and spells free of atk/HP helps with the clarity between kinds of cards as only creatures get the atk/HP.

Oh, right. I forgot Elements is only played by 9 year olds and the mentally impaired.

I don't think thats what he meant.
The thing is that it might confuse people. Not everyone will make the connection between Animate weapon and the hp. They might even asume its a creature.
And by the way, I too like the extra bit of text.
+ I don't know about you, but I know some really sharp 9 year olds.

ok, along side the need to keep the game simple for the benefit of noobs, it would (i think) also take quite a lot of programming. not difficult stuff, just dead boring for zanz and whoever. imagine having to change the wording of every single individual card plus changing the layout of all the weapons. i'm against the idea (duh ).

I would like to bring Chimera To The Stand


Now Chimera, you dont explain your effects. Is that correct?

Chimera: RAAAH

Why is that?

Chimera: RAHAHAH

It isnt necessary you say? Well, thank you for your time.

Chimera: RAAAAH *starts charging*

aHH, that was too close.

No further questions.
