Aloyzo's Arsenal #3 Peer Feedback & Discussion

Even with a small margin of error (if Aloyzo has differing opinions), this is still obscene! Sadder that not many will do as I did, and use this to learn. (I've talked to you about this briefly timeracers).
I hope things get better looking forward, and can't wait to read your reviews when the next AA is over! XD

 

So far only one AA out of 4 has had such a tight constraint, so this invalid % is definitely higher than the norm. That said, bad submissions in general are usually a pretty high %, and most of the invalid submissions were also poorly designed items. The community has a lot to learn

 

For those willing to learn. May I grow and flourish with our community

 

So what do people think of my item?
(Submission #4)

 

It's really well designed and themed around Monster Hunt version of Chupacabra, who mostly has range 1 draining attacks. Enervating Touch and Draining Touch are not in the decklist, but they nicely average out Chupacabra's Consuming Touch. I also like the alliteration in the item's name (Chupacabra's Claw).

It's reasonable powerful compared to Hand Of Melvelous & Wuuna's Vampiric Shroud. Basically more common and range 1 only version of the mentioned items.

Because it's a divine item and tokenless, it's quite easy to slot three copies of the monster only card Devouring Touch for one character.

Being a divine item and so similar to existing items mentioned earlier is the item's biggest "flaw". In a vacuum, Chupacabra's Claw is nice submission and solid design, on par with Storge's Proboscis, that will be crafted next month. What makes Storge's Proboscis stand out, is not the monster card (Sneaky Bloodsuck) in my opinion, but the two Wings Of Faith cards.

There are many (tokenless) divine items with draining attacks, but only one divine weapon (Blackhammer) with Wings of Faith. Storge's Proboscis doubles the amount of Wings on a divine weapon and is quite different and unique compared to existing items, so that's why it's better AA item in my opinion.

 

I feel that having all the vamp attacks range 1 does make it a bit different(Wuuan's Vampiric Shroud still has only 1 range 1 attack).
