Haven't thought too much on specifics, just curious what people think: A spell card that upgrades any card on the board. I'm envisioning probably entropy, perhaps around the realm of 3
. Maybe it actual toggles between upgraded/nonupgraded, so that it could alternatively downgrade an opponent's card. Or maybe the downgrade ability gets added with the upped version.
Of course, to be used well this would require that people are knowledgeable about upgrades. Many cards would be useless, as the upgrade merely decreases the cost. (Or you could use it on an opponent's Phoenix or abomination to comedic effect : P) Many cards receive a pretty minor attack/defense boost that could be achieved through other means. But some would be really valuable, such as Fallen Elf, Titanium (Diamond) Shield, Sundials, Pulverizer, etc.
Minor point: An upped card that returns to the hand remains upped, since it's an actual change to the card, not an effect...unless this creates coding problems.
One of the reasons this appeals to me is because newbies too poor to afford an upgraded card could have a lot of fun with it! And the more I think of it, the more I like the flexibility of the downgrade option as well.
Thoughts?
