Aloyzo's Arsenal Discussion Thread

Is there some instruction somewhere of how people are posting the card images in the submission thread? Are they just hotlinking from the wiki?

 

yeah pretty much. Copy the image adress of the size you like and paste it into the "insert image" dialogue.

 

I just copy the image from the wiki and paste it in, it's also possible to insert the image's URL into the image function when writing a post.

As for Ooze Shove, it gets boosted by at least Blind Rage, so I think it and all similar cards break the restrictions.

 

Okay, thanks. I dressed up my post a little.

 

Wondering if Arcane Aura / Shell are disallowed here, as they indirectly cause damage. Well, more damage than would be originally dealt.

If they are, then any damage buff would be disallowed as well, I'd think.

 

Can I have a clarification on:
Accelerated Thought/Unholy Wellspring | Unholy Energy | Demonic Feedback/Demonic Power

 

Pretty sure those all cause damage, so they would be out.

 

I was thinking about putting in a Quick Reactions, but left it out because drawing a card could mean drawing an attack card. Maybe I'm overthinking that one.

 

Quick Reactions can't deal damage.

Those cards don't deal damage, but yeah, I'd say damage buffs aren't really in the spirit of things.

 

@Flaxative
With the impending debut of Negative Energy Being, are cards with the "Heal" keyword permitted?

 

Yes.

 

Oh man, Flax. I see you've had quite enough of the travelling curse/blind rage spam?

Gotta say though, this AA is already looking to be an interesting one!

 

What? No! I'm just running a tight flavor ship is all...

 

I like the idea of this. Lots of variety available, but lots of gameplay rules to take care of. Good show!

 

I'm assuming Misguided Heal is illegal, although it would give some interesting flavor...

 

Yes, it deals damage.

 

What about Inspiring Presence? It doesn't deal damage itself, but it tries to draw attack cards.

 

I suspect that damage boosts, attack draw cards, etc. are permitted (they don't deal damage) but that they would not be in the spirit of the pacifist theme.

 

This is a great theme, even better than last month's, I think.

I assume cards that move the opponent (that don't deal damage) are fine, even though they could theoretically do damage with Path Of Knives, or move them onto bad terrain?

Looks like the theme favours priest items, though the other classes have some interesting possibilities. Divine Weapons (unless some sort of Mind Worm thing)/Weapons are probably out as they break they would break design rules.

My thoughts as to what might be dis/allowed:

Spoiler

Attack cards: All disallowed except Perplexing Ray, Short Perplexing Ray, Boiling Armor, Forgetfulness, Counterspell, Memory Loss, War Cry (dubious?), Mind Worm, Scouting Run, Elvish Insight, Hypnotic Beacon
Other cards: All allowed except any sort of frenzy, any armor that does damage or creates attack cards, traits that do self damage, draw cards that deal damage, Accelerate Time (dubious), Smashing Spin, all charges

 

Yes, that's fine.

Good card breakdown!
