Card Ideas and Art / Smokescreen | Improved Smokescreen

« on: August 09, 2010, 02:23:27 am »

NAME: Smokescreen ELEMENT: Air COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ABILITY: Conceal all creatures from view until the end of your opponent's second turn.	NAME: Improved Smokescreen ELEMENT: Air COST: 2 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ABILITY: Conceal all creatures from view until the end of your opponent's third turn.

ART: http://www.waterrhapsody.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fog.jpg IDEA: finkel NOTES: All creature slots are obscure by a smokescreen. "Choose Target" menus and such pop-up as usual, and the targets will only show valid targets, but which creature ability is being used and which creatures are being targeted are not visible, so you could as easily be using a ulithard to lobotomize a dragon as an otyugh to devour if you don't remember which is which before they're obscured.

Card Ideas and Art / Flying Castle | Flying Fortress

« on: August 09, 2010, 02:13:38 am »

NAME: Flying Castle ELEMENT: Air COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|10 ABILITY: Absorbs damage to your Airborne creatures. +0|+1 to your airborne creatures per castle's 5 HP.

Card Ideas and Art / Gust | Tempest

« on: August 08, 2010, 02:16:14 am »

NAME: Gust ELEMENT: Air COST: 7 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: Enemy creatures and active card effects have a 50% chance to miss/fail. Goes to enemy's side at start of turn.	NAME: Tempest ELEMENT: Air COST: 5 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: Enemy creatures and active card effects have a 50% chance to miss/fail. Goes to enemy's side at start of turn.

ART: Julian Raßmann and Floriana Barbu IDEA: finkel NOTES: It switches sides during each player's draw, so along with the draw animation the card will switch sides. Active card effects means anytime you click on a card to use its ability, there is a 50% chance that the ability will fail, consuming the quanta with no result. For example, clicking on an electrum hourglass has a 50% chance to use up 1 but not draw a card. SERIES: Swarmtastic

Card Ideas and Art / Re: Wasp | Elite Wasp

« on: August 08, 2010, 01:14:39 am »

I made a couple of my basic ideas for cards into actual cards in order to be able to patch holes. One of the ones I thought of with this one was, as you said, fractal. Edit to prevent fractal abuse. Cannot be targeted by owner.

I'm pretty sure it's overpowered as-is, and I have a few ideas for how to nerf it. Examples:
-For each Wasp on your side of the field, Wasp has a 4% chance to miss. Elite Wasp has a 3% chance.
-Increase cost to 4 or 5.
-Wasp has a percentage chance of being lobotomized each turn.

Oi! What about its ability is spent upon use? That would mean only newly produced wasps can produce new wasps. This would slow it down significantly.

Card Ideas and Art / Hive | Elite Hive

« on: August 07, 2010, 08:53:10 pm »

NAME: Hive ELEMENT: Air COST: 9 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: If a creature enters play with another of its name already in existence, they fuse and enter stasis. Upkeep: 3	NAME: Elite Hive ELEMENT: Air COST: 7 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ABILITY: If a creature enters play with another of its name already in existence, they fuse and enter stasis. Upkeep: 3

ART: Johanne Brunet http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/?q=hive&order=9&offset=24#/d29lbb0 (http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/?q=hive&order=9&offset=24#/d29lbb0) IDEA: finkel NOTES: A creature that has been fused with is marked as being the result of fusion (with a new passive ability, counter, or other way) and cannot be fused with again. The new creature wields the same ability as the original creature does. e.g.: If a pest is played while one with butterfly effect already exists, the new one will not have an active ability, but will have the passive ability. The new creature, as a result of the two of them fusing, will have the combined attack and defense of the two fused creatures. If there are multiple instances of the creature already in existence, the newly-played one fuses with the most recently played one. It does not fuse if the already-played creature is immortal or the creature being played is. This effect triggers for your opponent as well, so if he plays a pest before you do, then any pests you play with this card in play will fuse with his pest.

Card Ideas and Art / Wasp | Elite Wasp

« on: August 07, 2010, 08:30:58 pm »

NAME: Wasp ELEMENT: Air COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|4 ABILITY: X% chance to generate new wasp with each successful attack. X is equal to the number of wasps times 10.	NAME: Elite Wasp ELEMENT: Air COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 3|5 ABILITY: X% chance to generate new wasp with each successful attack. X is equal to the number of wasps times 15.

ART: Copyright 2004 by Martin Duerr/Cybersign http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/dotm/Cybersign/wasp.jpg IDEA: finkel NOTES: Upon generating a new Wasp or Elite Wasp, the Wasp or Elite Wasp enters stasis, and the generated creature enters the game in stasis. Stasis lasts until the end of your next turn, like with turtle shield. This is, of course, a passive ability. EDIT: Cannot be targeted by owner (to prevent fractal abuse) and ability disappears after use.

Very nice, really fits the elements artwork theme. Especially in lower resolution and with some touch-up in photoshop, I could definitely see this in-game. Wonderful! karma to you

With rustler, you could sacrifice 50 health for 100 . That doesn't sound good to me.
