Fire series. More or less. https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=53509.msg1122897#msg1122897

Hello.

I'm one of those who thinks that both  :life and  :fire has to few dimensions. I don't mean that they shall be completed just that they should get something more to build from.

In this thread I've tried to make a set of cards that does not only improve mono decks but also duo, trio...., I've  tried to limit the cards that would buff a rush deck and I have tried to make them feel like  :fire cards.

What I'd like some help with is.

1: Voting on which cards to submit.
2: Try to balance the cards or change the cards. For example make it cost 2 more and deal 1 more damage.
3: Try to find good names to the cards.
4: Make a vote on the cards that you think could be a fun add to the game.

Creatures

Spoiler for Hidden:
             

             
  • I know this might not be very original, either way I at least think it's a card that is worth thinking of. It also fits so very good with fire logically and play wise.
  • I'm a bit afraid it might be a bit to op with fractal.

Spells

Spoiler for Hidden:
             
             

             
  • Very risky card. I think it would be a fun splash card in rushes as well as heal decks ( life fire heal rush fun ).

Permanents

Spoiler for Hidden:
             
  • I thought it was about time fire get another weapon. I also like how it is different to most other weapons and how it's evil to everyone. Could make a pretty fun game with Ash yard and other cards( death etc ).
  • The art is made by Vrt http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-art/stuff-i-made/

             
  • A fun way to buff both mono fire and life whiteout making the rushes better, just adding more versatile to them both. I don't think it's op even if it's fairly cheep. I also think it could be a fun card to play around with.

             
  • I would really appreciate a name idea on this card.
  • It might be cheep but I don't think it's op ( compared to minor phoenix for example ). I also do think it's a fun way to combine time and fire.

             
  • ? what is this a shield that damage your opponent instead of defending ? I think it's a fun way to even further point out that fire only cares about damage and damage only. Further more it makes stalls a bit more aggressive as well as other decks.


Well thats it for me this time. Also thank you Afda for giving me a quick opinion on 3 of the cards.

Yeah, a lot of these cards need some heavy tinkering/balancing. For example, the second creature can easily be balanced by changing its ability to prevent limitless growth (e.g. "Gains +5/+0 if you own at least two other Fire creatures"), the "absorb" mechanic seems more Life/Water/Darkness to me than Fire (though that can be fixed by renaming it to "consume" or "raze"), Pulsating Lava seems extremely OP, and Wall of Fire has problem in its card text (too much math, doesn't sound like a shield) so it can be simplified (e.g. to "Shield: Attacking creatures also damage their owner equal to 25% their ATK." with rounding up implied but not on the card).

All in all, I suggest just focusing on 1 card idea at a time and making a thread of the card you're focusing on in the Smithy. This way, you'll get the most feedback for each card.

At first sorry for posting this so late. I had some connection issues.
Well some of the cards are just there as inspirations for others. It's not always easy to come up with a good idea yourself but by dumping a card others might get other better ideas. SO I agree with you the idea of a having a creature that can deal so huge damage is not very fun. About the fire shield good idea I shall consider it if/when I post it on a separate card. I actually think that absorb fits fire quite well, simply cause that is what fire do if you have 2 fires they absorb each other and make 1 fire. But thank you for the other ideas, they are still worth thinking on.About the pulsating lava I don't full agree. It's slightly op but not extremely op, thinking that in a fire bolt deck you still rather want to play Fahrenheit I think and few fire cards survive it's damage so it will be hard to play it in mono. Further more it's not a big change to the fire shield and even if they are good in combination they steal both shield and weapon slot and still damage your own. But even so I think you are right that it wouldn't hurt with a cost increase.

At last I'd like to thank you for your thoughts. ;)
