Card Ideas

When Hex of Dissolution showed up, one of my first thoughts was that the name is oddly specific; in a way that it implied (to me) that other hexes might exist. I'm not particularly creative, but I had a few ideas about those.

Hex of Immolation
Attack, Magic Fire, Damage 3, Range 6
Trigger all burning cards. This attack deals one more damage for each burning cards triggered.

Hex of Glaciation
Attack, Magic Cold, Damage 3, Range 6
Deal one more damage for each encumber card attached.

Similarly, Controlled Overswing made me think that other overswings might exist.

Reckless Overswing
Attack, Melee Crushing, Damage 10, Range 1
Attach this card to yourself. You may not block. Duration 1.

I'm sure I've mentioned that while Altruism is there for priests focused on holy cards and Talented Healer works well for vampires, unholy buffing cards get no such support. Some more ideas for that:

Demonic Blade
Attack, Melee Unholy, Damage 2, Range 1
Deal one more point of damage for each Unholy card attached.

Possessed Weapon
Boost
Trait. Attacks you play deal one more damage for each Unholy card attached to you. Duration 2.

 

I like the train of thought:

Unholy Pact
Boost
Trait. Add 1 damage to any unholy attack. You take 1 unpreventable damage. Duration 3.

Horns of the Demon
Hybrid boost/attack
Add 1 damage to any unholy attack you play.

Melee crushing. 1 damage. Range 6. Halt. Attach to target. Duration 1.

 

Mind Knife Curse

Magic attack - Type psychic
Damage 2 Penetrating - Range 4
Attach to target - Duration 2
Anytime attached character plays a card different from a move card, recieves 1 unpreventable psychic damage

 

^^^^^ Psychic Damage, even if it is intial, is usually Unpreventable, perhaps you should change that?

 

No, the first attack comes from outside. It is psychic, but it's from an external source. Penetrating works.

 

Cherubim's Blessing
Magic holy
Heal 1.
At the beginning of the turn destroy this card, create a Elohim's Blessing card in your hand.
Range 1.

Elohim's Blessing
Magic Holy
Heal 4.
At the beginning of the turn destroy this card, create a Malakim's Blessing card in your hand.
Range 4.

Malakim's Blessing
Magic Holy
Heal 7.
At the beginning of the turn destroy this card, create a Seraphim's Blessing card in your hand.
Range 7.

Seraphim's Blessing
Magic Holy
Heal 10
Range 10

 

Two things: Firstly, learn to spell and use proper grammar. I had a hard time trying to read your card with the amount of mistakes you made. Secondly, cards have restrictions, and this surpasses the max components (5) by a long shot. Also the text is too long to fit on the card. Don't ask about components to me, I only know about it due to the live card database.

 

Dimensional Door

Magic arcane, range 6.

Summon a Reinforced Door (10 hp) as an ally at target location. The door starts with 2 cards (Immobile and Solid Wood) and takes 5 unpreventable damage every turn.

The door is a minion, does not count as a character on Victory Squares, nor does it give Victory Points on death.

 

Skilled Bastion

Trait, Martial

Add 1 to every block roll you play.

Duration 3

It's not the shield, it's how well you use it.

 

There actually more overswings, but only one more: Violent Overswing.

 

(Just for Fun )

 

Love the idea, all that's needed is the option to have multiple mounts.

 

Yes! I was thinking along similar lines. But I was thinking the mount would be another "monster" on the map who would have two types of cards: gentle or wild, and a move card. This way, such a feature would only be included on a map that makes sense.
For instance, a black charger would be on a monster base, in a stable perhaps, and could be walked up to.

Monster mount cards:
Gentle: if an opponent moves next to you transform. (Transform: remove character from the board and replace unmounted monster costume with appropriate mounted costume on the monster's place.) At the beginning of the round draw the monster's racial move instead, and draw an additional monster card. (Or draw one card from your deck and one from the monster's.) If targeted by an opponent move or push card remove the monster and replace the character.
If a creature were wild, it could have ready to strike and panic in its initial deck.
The main problem with this is the nine art forms required for each mount. (18 if one includes front and back.) Perhaps the art could be done more easily if the mount was thought of as two pieces of cardstock that a figure was slid into.

 

Today I thought about forms, and had a few ideas for gold-quality werewolf cards (or somewhere in that ballpark). I'm not sure these would be good or balanced at all, really, they're just ideas.

Devour
Attack, melee piercing, damage 10, range 1
Penetrating. If this attack kills the target, you heal 3.

Pounce
Attack, melee slashing, damage 8, range 1
Step 1. Hard to block 2.

Maul
Attack, melee slashing, damage 10, range 1
Attach to target. Encumber 1. Melee attacks played by the target deal two points fewer damage. Duration 2.

 

∆ sounds nasty. They all fit werewolves perfectly. Maybe debuff howl by removing the heal and add your healing suggestion to vicious bite.

 

I think they about fairly balanced for gold (they should be about AA-, A, and A+ respectively). Obviously werewolf doesn't need a buff at the moment, and since the average card of the werewolf's card pool value is less then gold (A) it would be buffing werewolf by adding any of them to it's card pool.

 

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to imply that werewolves need a buff, or that I'd want any of these cards added to their pool. I was just thinking that werewolves only have All-out Attack as a gold-quality attack card, which is something people mostly use for its boost component, so I was wondering what proper attacks they could have. A mental exercise, if you will, nothing more.

Thanks, by the way, for the feedback! Regarding the buff given to Vicious Bite, it's at bronze currently, and deals one point more damage than Perforating Strike, which is bronze+, so with an added effect it'd definitely need to be at least silver-... I guess. I'm never sure about the exact rules.

 

@timeracers certainly, werewolves are the last to neef a buff.
I was just thinking about how to buff vampire's kiss... The only reason i include it in a build is for armor removal. But one pays a price by allowing a non-healer to heal on average.

 

Though vampire's kiss should have some good synergy with revealing the enemy's hand (hint inq bolt or elven insight).

 

Or you can buff vampires with other cards...
