12 rare cards for each card type

[Istari.]

Element	Creature	Spell
	Phase Dragon	Fractal
	Firefly Queen	Sky Blitz
	Gargoyle	Steal
	Mummy	Aflatoxin
	Graboid	Earthquake
	Schrödinger's Cat	Pandemonium
	Phoenix	Immolation
	Otyugh	Black Hole
	Forest Scorpion	Adrenaline
	Crusader	Miracle
	Pharaoh	Reverse Time
	Arctic Squid	Nymph's Tears

I'd say Maxwell''s makes much more sense for the  rare than Schrödinger's Cat

Element	Creature	Spell	Permanent
	Phase Dragon	Fractal	Mindgate
	Firefly Queen	Unstable Gas (/ Sky Blitz?)	Wings*
	Gargoyle	Steal	Nightfall
	Mummy	Aflatoxin	Boneyard
	Graboid	Earthquake
	Maxwell's Demon	Pandemonium
	Phoenix	Immolation
	Otyugh	Black Hole
	Forest Scorpion	Adrenaline	Empathic Bond
	Pegasus	Miracle	Hope*
	Pharaoh	Reverse Time	Golden Hourglass
	Arctic Squid	Nymph's Tears	Flooding

I liked almost all of these so I used this as a starting point.

Looking at what this does for deckbuilding, I'm against the entire thing.

Don't let the word "rare" fool you. All crafting skills are Tier 1 skills, easily obtained early in the event. Producing any of these "rare" cards is easy, but requires a bit more time and Electrum than with other cards.

Yep, you are probably right.

So it's safe to assume that if/when the new cards are implemented into the real game, they will not be allowed into WoE?

There was some talk about semi-rare cards in the past, but now that we have 6 different crafting skills, each with 12 rare cards, there's no reason to have these semi-rare cards. In fact, having then would make deckbuilding very difficult because of limited card pool.

Yes, that's what I was trying to say.  I don't think we should make things too hard to build decks.  I was thinking though, since most would agree that some elements have a stronger pool of cards than other elements, we can add extra "rare cards" to those elements to help even the playing field a little.


Here's my take on the different rare cards.  I'm against making an element's only form of CC a rare or making all of an element's CC cards rare cards.  I'm also not so sure about making any PC cards rare either.

Element	Creature	Spell	Weapon	Shield
	Phase Dragon	Fractal	Lobotomizer	Dimensional Shield
	Firefly Queen	Sky Blitz	Owl's Eye	Wings
	Devourer	Drain Life or Nightfall	Vampire Stiletto	Dusk Mantle
	Mummy	Poison or Plague	Arsenic	Bone Wall
	Graboid	Earthquake	Pulverizer	Titanium Shield
	Lycanthrope or Maxwell's Demon	Nova	Discord	Dissipation Shield
	Phoenix or Lava Golem	Immolation	Fahrenheit	Fire Shield
	Otyugh or Sapphire Charger	Black Hole	Titan	Gravity Shield
	Horned Frog or Cockatrice	Adrenaline or Heal	Druidic Staff	Emerald Shield
	Crusader or Pegasus	Miracle	Morning Glory	Hope
	Pharaoh	Precognition or Hourglass	Eternity	Procrastination
	Toadfish or Arctic Squid	Freeze	Trident	Ice Shield

All news cards will be added to WoE as they appear. Either we somehow add them to the events, or we simply add them to the store without any backstories.

Looks good to me. We'll probably go with that, or some slight variation of it.

I added Poison as another rare option along with the original Plague in my table.

Also with Darkness, I'm not sure about taking Drain Life away from them since their only other CC requires a Duo.  I don't like the idea of making their PC rare, but the only other option that I see is not a spell but a permanent—Nightfall.  If we did take Nightfall as their "rare", you could make Time's "spell" "rare" Hourglass instead of Precognition.

12 rare spells should be the alchemy spells IMO. Makes things a lot more simple.
Quint, Unstable Gas, Liquid Shadow, Aflatoxin, Baslisk Blood, Antimatter, Rage Pot, Black Hole, Adrenaline, Lucferin, Precognition, Nymph's Tears

And we already have 12 rare creatures, the nymphs, too bad we can't use those though. But I have a question, how do we craft nymphs in this game?

[Daxx]

I'd prefer if the Alchemy cards weren't rares as such, since it makes more sense to make them accessible a different way.

[Kamietsu]

As far as I know, and it seems Alchemy won't be rares, since they will be craftable. Unless you consider craftable cards as rare.

I cannot confirm or deny that we may or may not have thought of some way of dealing with nymphs.

maxwell called and he wants his demon back
also, although i think Life is in dire need of better creature base than what they've got now, Forest Spirit would make a better rare for Life than Forest Scorpion (the same reasoning why i choose Lava Golem as rare for Fire...until i notice the utterly broken Phoenix staring back at me)

Current version of rare card crafting is very different from what I asked on this topic. Sorry was wasting your time a bit, but that's how creative projects sometimes go.
