I've culled through the Card Ideas thread to find what I think are some legitimate ideas. (Warning: you'll see a disproportionate number of my ideas in the first post.) You're welcome to post new block card ideas here or at the old forum. I found we were repeating ourselves sometimes. Jiujitsu Block. Silver Quality. Block Melee. Push Attacker Forward 2Fly. Turn to face attacker. unblockable @tolkien Blackout block Type: hybrid block/drawback quality: tar item slot: shield/weapon/staff Block melee 4+. You discard a random card. @tolkien Magnetic Block Block. Bronze+ quality Block magic. Block projectile 2+. If this card blocks magicPush 2the attacker. @tolkien Feedback Block Block. Silver. Block any. Discard each card attached to attacker. 3+ @tolkien Cutlass Parry Paper+ quality Block melee. 2+ Subtract 2 from your roll if the attacker is in your forward cone. @tolkien Wary Block Silver quality Block any attack that would do damage to you. 3+ @tolkien Pommel Block Block. Tar Quality Block melee. 6+ @tolkien Backing Block Block. Silver- quality Block any. Move back 1. If you can't discard this card instead. Keep. 5+ @timeracers Mystic Stab Hybrid Block/Attack (Silver+) Damage 6 Range 2, Block Magic/Missile 3+ (Weapon or Elf Skill, Attack/Block) @doog37 Adaptive Block Block. Block any (3+). When you block damage, create a new card that grants you immunity to the damage type of the attack and attach it to yourself. @Vlamona Weird Block Block. Paper quality Block any, 6+. If this card was not revealed, add 2 to the die roll. That was unexpected! But I'm ready now. @Fanturluche Steadfast Shield Block any 4+ You can block cards with Unblockable; if you block a card with unblockable, push back 2 the attacker. @WexMajor Human Shield Block, warrior card. Block Any (Roll 5+), swap places with and redirect the target of the card to a random adjacent enemy, this block can only trigger if there is an enemy adjacent to you that is not the attacker. @Super4011 Dragonflame Block Block. Silver+ Block Any. 3+ Attach to attacker.Burning 2. Duration 2 @wereviper
I don't think you are the best person to determine the best card ideas, also I don't like the branching off of the thread.
Also, there is a disproportionate amount of blocks made by you, not to suggest any bias or anything. How about only pointing out others' good blocks?
Maybe I'll rename the thread. I'm totally biased. I mostly wanted my (decent) ideas in an easy place to see so I don't repeat mine or others ideas.
Negative Energy Block Block silver Quality (compare with cause fumble) divine item slot Block any 4+ Heal the amount of damage that would be done to you. "I'm feeling a really positive energy from this applicant." "I'm not."
Caught up to page 80 on the card ideas thread. I think some of these might be viable. Obvious block Handicap/block Block any 5+. Blocks in your hand are visible to opponents. Ball and chain Handicap/block Block any 6+ Keep Encumber 1 @WexMajor Vicious Dodge Block Projectile/ Magic If this card blocks an attack deal 4 damage to each {characters in} adjacent squares. 4+ Nevus Stalwart Block Block Block any, 3+. If the roll is 5 or above, this block gains Keep. Note: Inspired by Hold the Line! by @WexMajor - I guess that the two could be even combined. @Frostguard Shield Bash: Block Melee. Attacker takes 5 crushing damage. Slide Back the attacker 1. 2+ 4 damage. Slide Back 1. (this is buffed by bruiser and bash) Suggested as a Bronze+(4, C+) card. Attack, Block. Melee, Crushing. @timeracers Imperfect Block Block any. You discard a random card, then your opponent draws a card. @Goodwin War Cape Heavy Armor only Hybrid block/boost Block 6+ Melee Frenzy 1 Premeditated Block Bronze Quality Block any. 5+. Add 1 to the die roll for each card in hand. "I figured you would try to attack me at some point." Halpin Halfstaff
Bubble Block Block Any 2+ Your square becomes Illusionary Terrain (Enemies must Stop. Enemies may not sight through). Slide Back 1.
Shield Bash (alternative) Hybrid block/attack Block any 2+. Take 5 crushing damage. Range 1. Damage 5. Melee crushing. Slide back 1.
Yes, I should have said, 'you take 5 crushing damage.' cf. Jarring Block I just noticed that cushioning armor basically functions like a block with high damage attacks. I love cards that are usable but force decisions and can be risky.
Something I wrote for an old April Fool's joke... Still, I never did dislike the repeatable Block mechanic I invented to make that Black Lotus parody work. To rework it a tad: ============= Vigilant Interrupt Rare, Gold+ Block (roll 3+) Block Any. Attach this card to yourself. Duration 1. At the start of each round, return this card to your hand. "Stay sharp. An ancient magic is gathering..." - Svitlana, Warden of the Forest ============= I think I'm satisfied with the new level of obscure MTG parody alluded to in its title, hinted at in its flavor. $¦^ J
