Ok just let me wade in here with one comment.

In the history of CCG there have been many cards with Attack and Hp these are portrayed by 3|2 or such.

In every other game it is said you get or gain +1|+1 or -1|-1 it does not state loses as that is more confusing to people.

ie. (mtg)  Afflict, Instant, Target Creature gets -1|-1 til end of turn.

Just so we can tidy this up and fit within what everyone else is doing is what Demagog is getting at.

Thanks

I've never played MtG, so I wouldn't know. I played Yu-Gi-Oh a long time ago, and things were worded by "loses '#' defense."

Thanks for explaining this, as "loses -1|-1" didn't really sound right to me either. I'll fix that right up...

Your wording is also wrong elsewhere. If a creature loses -1/-1, it should actually gain 1/1. Instead it should say the creature gains -1/-1 or loses 1/1. A double negative is always a positive.

I thought about that when making the card, but "gains [negative number]" just sounds stupid to me. There is not a card with this type of wording yet, so I want to see how Zanz puts it.

Plus, I kind of worded it like that so voters wouldn't get confused. I can see people saying "How would it die if it's gaining stats?" if I put it those other two ways.

did I?

Unless you meant the possible plural for "deltoid," a large triangular muscle that covers the shoulder joint and serves to raise the arm laterally, I would say you spelled it wrong.

@Astaroth

BOTH are overpowered.

Yeah, well you spelled "dealt" wrong in your card.

Ok. Here's my entry.

(http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/) (http://www.screenshotdumpster.com/)

Before people scream "OMG That upgraded card is SOOO OP," there could be different percentages for the creatures. Lower percentages would obviously be given to the dragon. If left at every darkness creature having an equal chance to be generated, it still wouldn't be that bad in my opinion. That's a 25% chance of getting a dragon, 25% of getting a vampire, and 50% for the other two stupid darkness creatures.

Discuss. Vote. What-have-you.

Oh yeah... I forgot all about that. I'm dumb...

If I had Photoshop, I would take part in this. And, I don't feel like downloading those watered down versions... 

What if I had someone make the card for me, but I gave them the card name, art, costs, and effects?

Rainbow Decks / Re: MrSexington's "Rage Quit Deck"

For a 60-card deck, it looks pretty fun. That's not to say that improvements can't be made. For example, I think that one of the main goals of the deck is to infest the opposite side with the cells as fast as possible. Thus, I would take out two antimatters for two more Aflatoxins.

Also, Purify is always questionable. You're getting 30 per turn from your Shards anyway. Since your main problem against poision-heavy decks would be Physalias, you should choose to use Aflatoxin on them.

I might try to throw something together before this ends. We can't have Grimdrome be the only participant...

Forum Bugs, Suggestions and Feedback / Changing forum profile... Avatar defaults

When I go to change something in my forum profile, my avatar defaults back to (no pic). This is kind of annoying when you have to scroll through all of those Elements images again. Does anyone else have this problem?

I was going to suggest this (was going to become Essence's apprentice), but I found this. I think it would be a neat idea, even if the apprentice really didn't do much but have a special title.

I don't see how play time can't equal upped cards. I guess you could just play PvP, but wouldn't you lose to your fellow veteran's upped decks?
