EmeraldTiger's Workshop

[EmeraldTiger]

Project 1:
I would like to develop a series of cards that uses the Remain skill.
The skill cost 2 quanta of a card's element.

Project 2:
I would like to create a creature that
has an active skill that
gives it attack power boost then as it attacks,
returns the attack power to the previous value

Project 3:
Pillars/Towers with proper names Example:  Mt. Dracon's Spire 

[Rutarete]

Are you thinking of just mono cards for this?
Also- should a common theme be based on things that fade away/don't last long?
e.g. gas disperses, night -> day, etc.

[EmeraldTiger]

q1 Mono cards = yes.
q2 We will see what we can come up with, because I am not sure ATM.

[ZephyrPhantom]

I'd recommend focusing on one project at a time.

For remain, how about something like :
Shifting Beast
5
7 | 4
When this creature leaves the field it goes back to the top of your deck.
  : Remain - keep this creature on the field.

So that one would get rewound instead of killed?

[OldTrees]

Project 1:
1) Investigate the balance of Absorb. Maybe make a design theory thread asking how adding an Absorb 1 cost would affect the balanced casting cost.
2) Remain cost 2 is expensive. Slightly less expensive than Absorb 2 but more than Absorb 1.

Project 2:
You mean like Dive or Ambush/Pack Tactics?

Project 3:
I do not think ETG is meant to have that detailed a mythos.

[ZephyrPhantom]

So that one would get rewound instead of killed?

Yep. If you don't maintain it properly it locks down your draw. I didn't want this to be in though as it has the same niche as GoTP does.

Project 1: Doomed Servant: 5 -4|5, 3 : Remain: Do not attack.
Forced upkeep!
I guess it might need balancing.

Project 2:  : Avalanche: Gain +4|+3, then reduce 1|1 for 4 turns. While reducing, Untargetable and Momentum.
It's sort of like a real avalanche. It starts, you can't stop it, and then the mountain that it came off of is weaker than it was before.
Would have to be high-cost though. Balancing and all.

Project 3: Mountain of Giants: Generate X+1 random quanta. X = the average HP of your creatures divided by 6.
So Massive Dragon would only get 5 quanta, not unlike two Quantum pillars against a Devourer.

I am suprised and pleased that I would be PM'd about this in particular. Thanks.

Zblader's Idea would also be a decent immo target

[EmeraldTiger]

On project 2: How much is 3 attack boost worth for an activation cost?

[OldTrees]

On project 2: How much is 3 attack boost worth for an activation cost?

3 attack for 1 turn = 3 damage =  spark = Cost of 0q+1c, 1c=1q, Cost of 0q+1c = Cost of 1q+0c
Activation Cost: 1 quanta of an aggressive element.
This would create a +0 skill value since the Activation Cost pays for the entire cost.
Due to possible synergy with Skyblitz, I would choose the mid to lower hp in the chosen hp range.

[EmeraldTiger]

I am thinking it should be a Fire ability.
here is 1 possible idea.
