Quick question: Is it possible for voters to suggest slight modification to the cards presented (and are the card makers allowed to make amendments at this stage?), or must we take the cards as they are?

Scaredgirl said earlier that you could campaign for cards.

If you have a suggestion on implementation/direction of a card, I say go for it.
The competition is about the Idea, not a final product.

Contestants can't actually change the presented card tho so image good or bad, wording good or bad, they have to play on with.

Actually no.

The cards have to be reviewed the way they were when the competition ended. (images you see on the first post of this thread)

This was a competition that had a clear deadline. Any changes after that deadline are forbidden. Campaigning and making changes to your card are two different things. Sure we can and should discuss about how we can improve these cards but that shouldn't be a factor when giving your vote. So if the card owned "fixes" his/her card in these discussions, that should not affect your vote.

What do you mean when you say "actually no"?
What did I say that disagrees with what you said? *scratching head*

If someone suggests that my idea is good and how it could work in the game is ok isn't it?

Its ok if I say suggest that you vote for Crusader as the idea might be good as the fill in for an Air card as a "Winged Archer", a Celestial with the Sniper ability of Eagle Eye if you have Eagle Eye to copy.

I was sure it was some kind of white magic the gathering card.. I have like 800 cards, so I can't be CERTAIN, but I was 99% I had it.. maybe you're right tho :O the picture was so familiar.. maybe it was some really really similar card I had?

I have 80000+ magic cards and been collecting since revised, only 16yrs or so and never seen anything that I would confuse. If you can take the time, find this similar card for me, it intrigues me.

Lmao SG your art FTW

Anyway, FYI, that card's art is from a MtG card, and I have that card.

Actually its a Warlord Card and I have it. Its Called Uriels Armor

So.. you both have the same card, only one is from MtG and the other from Warlord?

I smell something fishy here.

He doesn't have the Card.

My vision for the card came in stages. At first I wanted to make a creature called "Shield Bearer", a sort of squire type that would "equip" a shield, destroying the shield and freeing up your shield slot, allowing you to have two shield effects simultaneously. But I felt that would be ridiculously overpowered, so I made it so that when he equipped the shield, he gained the gravity pull status as well. I was content with that for a while, as it made a sort of living meat shield with defense, but I didn't like how it made your own shield slot useless, so I decided to go in a different direction.

I started reading the description of each element and found the description of the Light element.

Light elementals dispense blessings and befriend angelic and righteous entities. Light elementals can exalt their creatures, heal them, or deal damage to death and darkness elements.

I revisited my Shield Bearer and thought about making it equip a weapon instead. Having played this game since the beginning, my first thoughts were about Flying Weapon, as you mentioned. I tried to see if it was possible to create an ability that behaved like a warrior equipping a weapon, while avoiding a "Flying Weapon on a stick" type card. Since Light is all about boosting/exalting its creatures, I figured an ability like "Endow" would be fitting. The ability fits with the flavor of the Light element because it is like the Crusader is calling on the power of the gods to channel the power of the weapon to enhance his fighting abilities.

No more talk about the Card image eh. Back to the IDEA.

Is the crusader a human, an Angel, or something else?
Why is endow anything more than just a blessing?
Still don't get why a Crusader would have Arsenic or Discord or Lobotomizer effect.

If there's any problem whatsoever with card art, I'll remake the image for it.

I'm way ahead of you..

I hereby give Zanz the right to use this image in any way he wants.

*Hahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhahha, falling on the floor out my beanbag still laughing*

I edited the post in there so it reflects who did the art. I didn't see who did the art when I found it the first time, so thanks for finding that for me. In all seriousness, I never intended to steal anything, and if I have broken a law, please show it to me, because I am not entirely familiar with how a copyrighted piece of art should be handled when it is so freely available like this. Clearly we all need to learn about this if it really is serious, because it was stated in the card idea contest rules that the art didn't matter and it was okay to borrow an image. I eagerly await your reply.

Argh, lost my Original reply.

Anyhow.

Image owned by WarlordCCG, Phoenix Interactive and Hasbro.
They have  rights because the Idea was submitted with the image that :
- The idea or variation of the idea not be used or implemented
- That if implemented that they may recover gains aquired from the use of the idea
- If dividends can not be directly evaluated from the use of the idea, claim ownership of the product or development of the product in which the idea is used.

This in an extreme case should the companied wish to take action but if so could claim Elements if the idea is used.


In regards to the personal use of the image for gain, it has been mentioned that the image has added to the apeal of the idea and you will gain a prize for the winning of this competition. Personally I don't care. I just posted the artist name because it wasn't creditied earlier and people wanted to know. It will never have a hope of getting into the game because the image is previously licenced to another game.

I reply to the actual card idea in another post.

Easy fix to the art: I already credited the artist when I submitted the card. If it's a serious problem, I will change the art, because I'm not about to pay somebody for the art I used to illustrate a concept I came up with. I'll use a stick figure if I have to.

If you don't like my idea, don't vote for it.

The art is just an image I got off of google images, so credit to whoever did that picture.

lol @ the credit there. I'm Sure Jason is thankful for that.


But really, can you answer the questions I put forward? Maybe there is something you see that I don't when you created the idea. From the actions and notery from other posters it seems they just like a blingy new powerbox. Jason Engles art does that to a lot of people, in fact I started playing Warlord CCG simply because of his art for Ter-Soth. But in a game sense I want to know how you see it fitting in.

For my Card Quantum Scales, I hear and read complaints that the game only favors Monotype or solid Rainbow decks and its very hard to find a ground in between that is effective without being a demigod or better. So my Card was designed to try and fill that hole with as little duplicant cards and be useful to a majority of decks without replacing something that already exists or being the required card for all decks. Elements in Alchemy, Astrology and Religion all seem to work in ebb and flow and have a balance between them, light vs darkness etc. A symbol of Balance is the scales, and it is a permanent so that was figure for my effect.

But with Crusader I don't see it. Can you explain to me your vision?

Why is a Human in Armour, on a Crusade a Light Elemental Creature?
Why is copying the power of my opponents Arsenic a Light Elemental Effect?

Re Crusader: In what way does a crusader align with the elements? All the other creatures are of an elemental nature so the crusader seems odd to me.

The Artwork that was used for Crusader was done by Jason Engle and that current image I beleive is licenced to the Warlord CCG.

The idea of a creature weapon is somewhat nice, but we already see that with Animate weapon and in a more limited nature Immortals/MorningStar, SapphireCharger/Titan, Vampire/Stileto, Pufferfish/Arsenic. Do we need a creature who can steal all these best effects away from these creatures?

Does this make Crusader Innovative or a revolutionary idea?
