I am working on designing cards for the "Blood" series I am working on.
The idea is to use "Blood" as a means of storing / converting player HP into a resource for cards.

Feel free to suggest your own, or better take the Blood mechanic idea and run with it. (Just make sure to credit EmeraldTiger for his mark artwork)
So far I have only gotten to making the first two (a pillar and a nova like permanent) to get the topic rolling

Vial of Half God's Blood | Vial of False God's Blood---
Blood Pillar | Blood Tower---
Bloodthirsty Vice | Sanguine Vice---
Blood Buckler | Blood ShieldHere are some ideas for future cards:
