Card Idea Competition Submissions / Re: Kamietsu | Kamietsu (Elite)

  Hikikomori 引き籠もり is a strange word to use for it's ability. But, it makes sense in that a person who is a hikikomori would feel uncomfortable in social situations, I guess.

I also like this, but the increased casting cost and the ability cost is a bit much. Why not just take out the casting cost change? Or upgrade the casting cost and keep the ability cost the same? It just sort of reminds me of Fire Nymph, a card that you hardly use upgraded because of the cost.

Card Idea Competition Submissions / Arondight | Arondight

« on: July 18, 2010, 04:21:56 am »

NAME: Arondight ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent (Weapon) ATK|HP: 5|3 ABILITY: Weapon: Deals 5 damage. Drain  :darknessmark: Deal 2 damage to target creature and gain 2 life. Parry  :lightmark: Reduce all incoming damage by 2.	NAME: Arondight ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent (Weapon) ATK|HP: 5|3 ABILITY: Weapon: Deals 5 damage. Drain  :darknessmark: Deal 2 damage to target creature and gain 2 life. Parry  :lightmark: Reduce all incoming damage by 2.

ART: Elements team, edited by Arondight IDEA: Arondight NOTES: Parry does not stack if you Animate multiple Arondights. All incoming damage means almost all incoming damage, that includes spells, momentum creatures, and weapons. But, if you're wondering, negative damage is also included, reducing the effectiveness of Antimatter to an extent. Example: -4|2 creature only heals you for 2 life upon attack; this is to balance the lighter side a bit. The darkness ability is a bit weaker due to Entropy already having synergies with Darkness. Both abilities do not consume any quanta, they only become active with the right mark. Mark cards do not unlock this card's abilities, it would create a usage rift between tournament winners and nontournament winners. Arondight is sword wielded by Lancelot in the fictional stories of Arthurian folklore. Lancelot was a great knight, but gave in to adultery. I wanted to reflect how his sword developed two sides due to it's wielder actions and personality. SERIES: Vain series of being very vain in this vain, virtual world.

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Kael Hate | Kael Hate

Even if Pandemonium and Chaos Seed is comparable to Kael Hate, I think the main difference is that the former has effects based off already existing cards and that the latter has an edge as it has unique effects and potential. This card idea is just a bit too good in my view.

Maybe a bit vain, too. 

Edit: Or, I just checked the competition section after viewing the card. Happened several times already.

Nerf This Card! / Re: [POLL] Which Cards are Overpowered?

« on: July 18, 2010, 02:30:54 am »

Only voted for Shard of Gratitude this time around. You can basically put that card in any deck and gain an edge over many decks.

Slightly torn on if I should vote for Earthquake or not, as I was able to work around it quite a few times. I may be a bit biased because I simply like the card, as well.

Rainbow Decks / Re: -PVP- Dragon Rush -PVP-

That is not a dragon rush deck. That's a Dragon Stall deck.

Aw, so the card doesn't recycle anymore? Was it due to collisions with missing draws, etc?

Forge Archive / Re: Black Cat | Felicia

« on: July 17, 2010, 11:53:34 am »

If I was to redo this card I'd make it a spell, Curse of the Black Cat.
You Target a Player and give them the 0|9 Cat creature who has the Ability, Bad Luck.
Bad Luck is 5% chance for all creatures on the same side to miss.

This prevents Fractal abuse because only the spell would pass control to the opponent.
This fixes antimater effects, and handling other cats by removing the -1 effect.
You can Cure your Bad luck with lobotomize.
Its mechanically codeable without to much trouble.

That's a good idea; making the spell available and the Black Cat unavailable as a standalone. Even if you did Fractal it, you would only hinder yourself.

Incarnate / Re: Oracle : Incarnate

« on: July 17, 2010, 11:37:10 am »

It's up to you, I considered it, but I just didn't want to use Entropy quanta for anything else, since I couldn't use towers.

Death / Re: Deathstalker | Deathstalker

« on: July 17, 2010, 10:18:40 am »

The problem with that is that you need three different kinds of quanta. It would be fastest to go with Nightfall, but even then, a simple shield could overthrow it.

Have you tested how consistent your games are with Fractal, Deathstalker, and Eclipse in your deck? It was really slow for me and had a high chance to have screwed up draws. There is no protection like a Hope deck, so once you bring out the combo, often it's too late to recover.

Incarnate / Re: Oracle : Incarnate

Try this out:

Code: [Select]

4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vc 4vd 4vd 4vd 4vd 4vd 4vn 4vn 4vn 4vn 4vn 4vn 4vo 4vo 4vo 5f5 5f5 5f5 5l9 5l9 5l9


I won two out of two times. The hardest part was finding the FG in the trainer.

Note: If you already have the upper hand and need another creature to use Butterfly Effect on, you can use Antimatter on one of your Demons and cast Butterfly Effect on it. Elite Skeleton Swarming is not fun.
