    so it's a good moment to post a submission from the first page I think - opinions?

    I tried to make the name as best as possible, so I added in two puns.

    Not edgy enough, too streamlined, way too powerful.
    I think one rule of thumb for AA is, never try to introduce items with more raw power then exisiting best in class items. Odd balls yes, a new power tool, no.

    :(
    well i did ask for advice....
    I still disagree for the "way too powerfull"
    Blue Manchu choosed "Scar of the Hero", which is almost a best in slot imho, so, I'll keep it as it is.

    I also think your item is too strong and should take a nerf.

    @Aerendhil - I agree with your logic on loner, and like the overall composition of the item, but also agree that it does look a little bit overpowering. A superb block, an amazing attack and two excellent ones, and then two traits that don't lose you cards? That's hard to pass up on.

    Consider swapping Blind Rage for Raging Strike for similar, but less powerful, flavor. Also consider changing Vicious Thrust to something like Startling Strike. Both of these changes, in my opinion, lower the overall part of the item, while preserving a lot of the theme. Also, Darkforce Laser Sword is a good suggestion to avoid copyright infringement point loss. It's the same reason that I named my item repulsing gauntlets instead of directly after Iron Man's repulsor gauntlets.

    Alright, just changed my submission. I decided to stick to my original envisioning of the item but with a more appropriate item slot as per Robauke's suggestion. While I loathe editing my submission as much as I tend to, I think this version of my item is ultimately for the best. It's got an off-slot card in there, but I think the theme warranted it so I'll take that risk. While I can't vouch for its power level as I play barely any multiplayer, I can imagine a fair few matchups where its narrow use is punishing enough. There, done. No more obsessing over my submission, this month at least! x)

    But a new one will open in about 1-2 weeks. Flax has us on a wild goose chase.

    What can you tell me about my item? Please give me a feedback and some tips. Is it too powerful? Thank you in advance.

    It's way too powerful:
    • Frenzy Aura doesn't belong to a helmet
    • The only Blind Rage helmet is Angry Jack's Helmet (lvl 12), your item is lvl 16 -> so you combine more powerful cards with Blind Rage, than the currently only available Blind Rage helmet
    • Not even Mimetic Armor has been printed on a minor token item and you want to skip ahead and introduce Mimetic Crown.

    Just like all the EttSC cards are not printed on less than level 17 items.(AA items ignored)
    Mimetic Crown would be fair on a helmet with Rusty Armor and Hardy Mail.

    Its more mystic then scifi though, and i vaguely recall flaxative asking for "high-tech stuff" in the card art or your account will be deleted. Something along those lines.

    What? He made a threat to delete accounts?

    No.
    As stated previously, Frenzy Aura isn't currently found on a helmet. You could replace it with Force Field, which is on helmets, and is high tech (which is really the point of AA6), and come in at the same level, token cost, and rarity. If you replace Blind Rage a lower rarity card of equal or less value, it would be Rare instead of Epic.
    I hope you keep Mimetic Crown in any case. ;)

    I'm thinking of changing my item submission to "Time Traveler's Watch", arcane item:

    Accel Time
    Teleport Self
    Battery Explosion

    Thoughts? I do want to keep accel time and battery explosion. Not sure about teleport self...

    As @peonprop pointed out, Battery Explosion isn't on any player items, so it could be risky.
    Since Teleport Self would make the item level 18 (according to Vakaz's Item Creator), I'd recommend going with something rated lower. ;)

    Promising and fun theme, but can be definitely be improved upon. Its interesting that Llttle zap is -1 value, but since we are already in minor token territory, those or one of the bolts could make room for something else. Something more in line with the white star adventure. Zap for subtle parry?

    Yea, its good point, that Subtle Parry fits theme better. What can you say about this version?

    would certainly be an interesting itemization of arcane spray. But if it finds acceptance if picked, who knows. More of an SP item now.
