Ambush! Series

[The_Mormegil]

Dual abilities on a creature are scary bad...

Well, not really. Scarabs have two abilities, Pests also. You can always get rid of the ability and just say "gravitons have Ambush". I was trying to keep it more in line with the original idea (as such, instead of spawn + ambush, ambush + something). But probably you are right - the "general" passive ability could work.

About the General, yeah, I thought as much. It does make sense, but I also think it will step on Pharaoh's toes (both are ).

Radically altering the concept... What about a Graviton General (maybe with a lower cost) that gives Ambush to all Graviton Guards (Mercs unupped), with a ability that gives a +2/+0 to a target Graviton? Or even Ambush to all Gravitons (Firemasters included). And the ability could also use different quanta for different effects to avoid the synergy, 'cause it's strong already. Maybe...
to grant +0/+3 to target Graviton (+0/+6 upped) - heavy armor, better survival training...
to make target Graviton invisible (stealth mission?)
to grant a Graviton Momentum (charge!)
to heal a Graviton (mending the wounds)

Just a thought, but it would keep it different from the creature spawnings and allow for some variety and theme inside Gravity...

I do not think General and Pharaoh will get in the way of each other. One is control and the other is blitz.
The General was designed to show how Ambush would be balanced if used by a spawning mechanic. However I do like your new idea as well and I think I will adapt it into a parallel card idea.

went for simplicity
Graviton Lieutenant|Graviton Colonel
Cost: X |X-1
Stats: 1|5
Effect: All Gravitons gain Ambush while Graviton Lieutenant is on the field. This effect does not affect mutants.
I wonder how much this should cost? Feels like an 8|7 but I think that is probably too low.

No it will be a new card.
However if you are willing I would appreciate if I could use some of your art for it. I really like your style for the biped tactics creatures.

Sorry, I should have clarified: I meant dual abilities with different activation costs. I just meant that would be scary and bad, if I were on the receiving end...



When are we going to get some previews of the set? I'd like to see everything (cards, abilities, etc) associated in one post so I can get a better feel for the Wedge...still not quite sure I understand all the pros & cons yet.

I am constantly updating the OP.

ok, but will the "graviton general" idea stillbe on? or are u replacing it with this card?

They will both still exist.

ok, then i´ll continue with making art for the Graviton marine and then i´ll make the art for the new card.
for the new card, im thinking its simlilar to a graviton guard design? or somthing similar to the Graviton general art but that gives a different idea?

I think similar to the Graviton General art but with a different pose and different armor (like how Graviton Fireeater uses different armor from Graviton Guard)
