Future card ideas

[Knightmare13]

One thing Ive always wanted but for obvious reasons never happened in CCGs was a set made up of player created cards......... sure they would need tweeked but I wonder if we can come up with 200 cards to build a full set? And by that I mean ones that COULD actually be printed not cards like (pay 2 destroy all cards on the field).


I have a list of ones ive been toying around with.

(You may not have more than two Thief Tokens on your side of the field at the same time.)
“You mess with one, you mess with all of us.”

[FireCat]

Since the rules state that resources never deplete, your resources would never work. Interesting idea though. Instead, you could change the cards and ballance them.

Your Card

Name: 31f G@r@g3
Type: Resource
Threshold: 1 (elitism)
Cost: Deplete this card.
Effect: Produce 1 resource point.
Cost: Deplete this card. Pick a character with 1 strength.
Effect: That character gains 2 strength this turn.

Modified Version

31f G@r@g3
Gearsmith Resource
Provides 1 Elitism
Cost: Destroy this card. Pick a character.
Effect: That character gains 3 strength this turn.

You had intersting ideas, they just wouldn't work. I mainly wanted to comment you on your creativity before you receive flaming like most people who try but fail do.

Awesome try,

[Froto]

Resources dont deplete or undeplete, they come into play depleted. So there goes that idea.

[haoyong]

Actually, they attach to your faction when used to pay for something. Why not just make them items or locations? That takes care of the whole problem.

[J Caster]

no resource removal makes those a little imba.

[Great White Nothing]

Well if we're looking at CAC resources, how's tis for the whole "dual" idea?

[Deception/Rage Card]
Resource

# comes into play attached to your faction.
You may not start the game with # in play.
DECEPTION/RAGE

Thoughts?

[strategin]

I like this idea for dual-threshold resources. One note on wording, unless it has a rarity of 'Staple' (which it wouldn't), it cannot start in play anyway, unless a future faction card allows non-staple resources to start in play.

Which would actually be an interesting idea for a future faction variation. Print some Magic-inspired Resource cards, and create a faction that allows you to, perhaps, start with a single resource in play that does not have to be a staple resource.

[Knightmare13]

OK guys dont grasp at straws, you get the idea. Just state that the effect can only be used once per turn instead of depleting. As for no resource destruction, they arent all that strong PLUS you wouldnt be able to start with them in play since they wouldnt be staples.

Plus the design interview already said that NON staple effect resources are comming in the next base set so wether or not we have resource destruction, special resources ARE comming.

[Great White Nothing]

unless a future faction card allows non-staple resources to start in play.

That was my thought process when I was wording it.

[FireCat]

I magic, they tried straight up dual lands in the first set. It didn't work so well, they were too broken. Then they switched to comes into play tapped, bounce lands, pain lands and many combinations of those.

Basically I think there should be some cost to play a dual resource. Otherwise it would be B@hghrok!n. I definitly want them though.

(Waves Hand like Jedi) Say yes to dual resources!

Also, another one of your cards:

Name: Swift Black Jester
“Man he’s quick.”
Type: Character
Threshold: 1 Obsession 2 Deception
Cost: 4
3 / 1 / 4
Cost: Pay 1, remove this character from the game till the end of the turn.
Cost: Pay 1, return this character to the field restored.
This character may only attack once per turn.

You could make this card less powerfull if you remove the "till the end of the turn". That way if you don't pay, you don't get it back. I just like to comment.

Yeah after looking at it a bit more, I think your right, but 3 threshold with 2 of one type is kinda rough.

You mean ALL cards...including resources??? If so....no way. Giving rage the ability to restart the game, except for the influence, is far too broken. The point of rage is they bring early beats before other trades can stablize, but once stablized, other trades stand a good chance of winning. This guy makes it so you can bring early beats, then potentially start the game over (but even worse since you take away your opponents starting resources...possibly the only ones of that trade they play. If you meant all non-resources, then hes just bad...lol

yeah i forgot to word it correctly, i wouldn't have it destroy resources since i hate resource removal/ destruction stupid spastic. now i'd word it to say pay 4 deplete this card destroy all none resource cards on the field your opponent cannot respond to this cards effect.
in fact i think i'll change the original post.

all non banker cards you play cost 1 less to play. to a minimum of 1.

[Taramoor]

One of the things to realize is that as part of the terms of posting here, any card we design or post we make is the property of Tenacious. If they want to use our card ideas (unlikely, but possible) they will. And because they're awesome, they'll give credit or at least homage in the flavor text or art, just like they gave notice to Great White Nothing with the Ferret's flavor text.

Some card ideas, of course, are inevitable. Multi-threshhold cards WILL happen, I mean, the possibilities are too awesome to contemplate. I want my Dragonmajig, damnit!

As for a player-created set... it's unlikely. Almost as a rule, people design cards they wish they had, whether they realize it or not, so they're almost always things that are a little bit too strong.

I think a cycle of cards like this could work, but who knows if Tenacious already thought about it or already has it in the works or if it's just plain worthless from a deck construction perspective.

Rageaholic 5/1/1
Cost 4 - 1 Rage
[/I]"I WILL RIP YOUR TONGUE OUT!"[/I]
Warlord Character - Berserker

While this card is in play, the threshhold
for all cards in your hand is reduced by
1 rage.

"DO YOU HEAR ME MOM? YOUR TONGUE...
OUT!"

-----------

Shopaholic 1/5/1
Cost 4 - 1 Greed
CHAAAARGE...
Banker Character - lackey, mau

While this character is in play, the
threshhold for all cards in your hand
is reduced by 1 Greed

CAAAARD!

------------

Then you have a 1/1/5 Rogue character called Kleptomaniac that does the same thing, a Gearsmith card, an Arcanist card. It's just something that would allow dual decks a little more maneuverability or make three-color decks more viable.

The thing is, though, those are cards I occasionally wish that I had, it doesn't make them any good though.

[Lord Kuato]

The 300
Warlord Character - soldier
Their numbers will mean nothing
4/4/3

When a blocking party is formed that includes the 300, that party must only have one member.

When The 300 blocks an attacking party, resolve combat with each member of the attacking party individually. Your opponent may decide the order in which the combats resolve.

Wave after wave of their attacks will be SMASHED against our shields.

Note: The Lord Kuato card only attacks and blocks alone.

[SteveE1959]

The threshold requirement has never been addressed by the cards. So along those lines:

Overpriced Bargain
Banker Item
5 BBB

Reduce the threshold requirement by one to a minimum of one

At the start of your turn, place a token on this card.
Destory this card when there are three tokens on it.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

And its opposite:

Anchor Chainmajig
Elitism Character
2/1/2
4 GGG

While this card is in play, your opponent must increase the threshold requirement by one to a maximum of 6.

[jin]

Card Name:Luteoderm Controller
Cost:11
Threshold:8elitism
Gearsmith item
Card Affect:

Tracking
Pay2:Search your deck for a luteoderm card(luteoderm prototype,etc..))and play it at -4 cost to a minimum of 1 cost to play.Cannot be used to get another luteoderm controller out.Can only be used once per turn

Controller
Pay4:Take a luteoderm item(luteoderm prototype and so on) that is attached to your opponents character and take control of that item until this card is destroyed or the creature the item is on is destroyed.Cannot take a luteoderm controller.Can only be used once per turn.

I can't think of quotes but you guys can i bet!

[Wihl]

What about adding something like the quests in the WoWTCG? They may look like this for example:

(they only work as resources)
"Pay 2 to complete this quest.; Reward: Reveal the top four cards of your deck. Put a revealed item card into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your deck."

This seems way too powerful. A better suicide squad that can be activated twice per turn for the duration of the game, playable on the first turn, would wreck just about anything but Martial Artists. 8 damage to characters per turn is a bit much.

I agree with fishman that the Captain is too powerful. Cannon Squadron only does 2 and it takes 9 to pull him out.

Kitten is a little too beefy for its cost too.

Also, I think the plant evidence ability is better suited to the Rogues.

The breeder and authority are ok enough i guess :)

This is great flavor text. I love the idea and actually formed an image in my mind as to how this card's art would look. I'd love to see it as a 2/1/4 instead of the 2/3/3. Kittens are fast, hurt things, but squish under the Plodding Brutes spikey boots.

Note: The Lord Kuato card only attacks and blocks alone.

I guess I would want this card to be more like:

The 300
Warlord Character - soldier(s)
Their numbers will mean nothing

When this card blocks, all damage dealt in this combat, regardless of speed, is assigned to The 300.

Wave after wave of their attacks will be SMASHED against our shields.

I would word it thusly:

When this card blocks it cannot be destroyed by battle damage until step 9 of Battle and all damage assigned by the attacking party must be assigned to this card.

Since the rules state that resources never deplete, your resources would never work. Interesting idea though. Instead, you could change the cards and ballance them.



They could create resources token creatures.

These creatures could have rule text like
Deplete this charcter, attach it to your faction

This turn it is treated as a resource card, destroy this card at end the turn.

Maybe somebody could play with this idea but there it is.

[woshimikel]

That sounds an awful lot like a Shadowfist card of the same name....

[Hordak]

!?!?!? Another Shadowfist player? I thought we'd died off...

Anyways, this version is different because it's an offensive card instead of a defensive card. And how else would you describe forcibly committing all of your resources to one single aggressive act?

[Doomguy 2000]

I got a very card called


Deck Destruction

3
R
Look at your opponent's deck
and select a certain card.
Send all cards of that name to the graveyard.

[s0b3k]

sounds like incriminating photograph but not an item so you can't destroy it and it combo's nicely with deception cards like swashbuckler... oh and i choose your resources and win? seems slightly over powered... and you look before you call it...

[FromTheShadows]

its like cranial extraction but WAY better. How about this

I would be the guy who names a card that isn't even in the deck...

then be all like... why are you not playing this in this deck? And after I call em out on horrible deck building get beat down by them

I don't like this at all. Making Heist Planner into a tactic is bad. Heck, he's bad enough as it is.

[Anders Møller]

Yeah not to mention if you run it with Heist planner you can look through the deck before you wreck it. It's like a Jester's cap from hell. :)

Maybe it should only take out three cards instead of the whole playset?

[Hordak]

Maybe it shouldn't exist at all. There is very little discard recursion, and in general I think it's a bad move to add ways of taking away your opponent's ability to play his/her deck.

[Anders Møller]

I completely and utterly agree. :)
One of the reasons i got fed up with MtG was people playing decks that wan't more than an advanced type of solitaire. If anyone remember the kobold-skullclamp-tendrils of agony.dec they'll know what i mean. I even made a lockdown deck that was so disgusting I couldn't even bear to play it myself. :)

[FromTheShadows]

it does have a 4 thresh so u can tacticians it, and unless u are runnin mono d, u aren't going to play it that quick. Anyways, it was just a toss out at trying to fix a card some one else proposed.

[Hordak]

I understand, and I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing peoples' ideas, but we're brainstorming so if something seems like it shouldn't be printed then I intend to voice that opinion :)

Elitism Card (because I think of the Nodes as a bunch of Perverts)

I have an idea for a Banker Tactic:

Initial Public Offering
"We'll all be rich..."

Numeric Cost: 3
Threshold: 4 Greed

Cost: Pick a number for X. Destroy X resources you control.
Effect: Your faction gains 2X influence.

"...even if the company goes belly-up next month."

[s0b3k]

An idea to modify Hordak's....

Total War (i even took the name)

3RRR
cost pick up to 2 characters

effect those characters gain X strength where X is the total number of unattached resources you control
Destroy all unattached resources you control.

Not sure about the cost of 3... possibly 2 or possibly more than 3 i have no idea i'd have to test it

Nice... no fingertraps and the such.... napiform would still kill it... but no beefing it up with things of the sort

I like this idea

[Inoki]

Honestly I forgot about napiform, but the card also is great with Yoink.

I'd probably have some changes to the card now that I noticed Napiform, since the idea was that I wanted any character removal to nail it, while at the same time create a multi-use card.

I like your acupuncture idea :)

[Knightmare13]

Personally Im not very happy with the lack of power in discard and mill type of decks. In magic I ran Black/Blue control discard. Ive tried and tried for that type in spoils to no avail. Id really like to see more valid discard tech.


Underground Drilling Device
rogue item

Destroy this item.

Name a card type. Your opponent draws 10 cards, discarding all that are not the type that was chosen.

This one is gonna need tweeked its too strong I think lol.

[Hordak]

Discard and Mill decks shouldn't be powerful. It's an unfun experience to play against.

[FromTheShadows]

yeah, they are unfun to play against, and kinda lame to play. Dont get me wrong, they are good and win alot, but kinda... eh.

PS. HOLY GOD FREEBIRD. that thing should not have a 5 speed. not at its cost.

[Knightmare13]

I dont know. I always really enjoyed facing different kinds of decks. Mill, discard, reanimator, stall, control, there are just so many different cool deck types. PLUS I really do not enjoy agro. I really want some megrim type cards.

Grasping at straws arent we? OH NOES HE CALLEDS IT LIFE!!!!

As for the card, what about the 17 thousand ways to discard in every card game on earth? Just because discard exists doesnt mean cards like this wont surface. Trust me you will see thing similar to this in the future.

From your shock of the mear suggestion of a card I take it youve never seen some of the black/blue magic decks that lurk around the vintage tournies. I had a deck that could discard an entire deck by turn 3 or 4 on a good draw. NOW obviously we arent going to let card combos like that end up in spoils but still, I hope you get the point.

At the beginning of your turn, draw a cards.

Resource: play 2, play a resource.

-----------------

effectively a slight change on the tournement faction that would still change alot. d'you think it's better, or worse?

[Hopes]

It's hard to say. I guess combo would love this faction, as it gets resources out easy, but it'd be nice to know how many starting resources it would have.

That's just an upgraded version of the Tournament Faction that is broken.

Thats wrong because the card says attach them to your faction. Still, they do get 5 resources....


That's just an upgraded version of the Tournament Faction that is broken.

No in fact, the card is worthless because you start with no resources in play, and it also doesn't give you the option of resource or draw each turn, its just draw.

[Katt Nightstalker]

whoops. you were supposed to start with 2 in play. forgott to write that.

the idea way that you /must/ draw at the start of your turn, it's very cheap to play resources, and there's no pay-to-draw ability. make sit kinda interesting (though personally, I'd rather roun the tourneyment faction anyday)

[Hordak]

The worlds card is way too good, but an interesting idea. It seems more like what Research Investment was supposed to be. Think about it, you have Greed stall and the ability to drop 5 resources every other turn.

As for that faction card...yeesh, crazy good (assuming the starting resources was an oversight).

Turn 0 (cause why the heck wouldn't you?) 9 cards in hand
play a resource (8)

Turn 1, 8 cards
draw (9)
play 2 resources (7)

Turn 2, 7 cards
draw (8)
play up to 4 resources
(you have 5 at the start of your turn)

Add a FUMAST possibly turn 3 and Cash Out/Invent


Interesting idea with some tweaking :)

draw a card or play a resource
Draw

Resource
Cost-pay 6
effect-play a resource

[FromTheShadows]

thats interesting, but i would like it a little more if you could choose two. Like play two resources, draw 2 cards, or one of each. Potentially broken as is, seeing as it would allow MANY decks that only ran their starting resources and could be filled with live cards. 3E would be particularly good.

[painted_klown]

Last Ditch Effort
I have a plan...
Cost: 15
Thresh: None
Item

While this item is in play your opponent cannot play tactics or use any character abilities.

You can attack with your characters on the first turn you control them.

Cost: Pick a number for X. You lose X amount of influence.
Effect: For the rest of the turn X amount of attacking characters cannot be blocked.
At the end of this turn destroy this card or all of your other items. If you have no other items in play at the end of this turn you must destroy this card.

Flavor text: It seemed as if we had the upper hand. If at least for only a while.

[Hordak]

Elitism would love this card.

[cravix]

I was just wondering what kind of cards or card mechanics everyone would like to see in the future. I am not just talking about SeeD, but other sets as well. I personally want to see something related to zombies.

Infectious Zombie
Brains Brains
Cost 6
2elitism

4/6/2

When this character destroys another character, take control of that character. That character loses all rules text and becomes a 2/1/2 zombie token.

Hey look its Bob. Hey Bob whats going AAAHHH.

[FromTheShadows]

thats great and all, but spoils doesn't do creature tokens (YET). Instead you could just take control of the character, have it lose all rule text. That way it would make more sense because the creature wouldn't be weaker (a zombie dragon tank is still a dragon tank) and you lose the whole im a card with no rules text and a token at the same time. But why elitism for this guy? Why not rage, as in im an angry zombie, or deception as they seem the type to do germ warfare.

Actaully I was thinking Obsession would be the best for Zombie Stuff. Magic Manipulating gone bad. However I feel a zombie deck would like be an aggro deck overwhelming your opponent adding to your army as your opponent loses theirs. Elitism has the best support for this. I also think you could have a text like

- When this card destroys another character instead remove it from the game and put into play a Zombie Token. (Treat Zombie tokens as Gearsmith character cards with 1 strength, 3 life, and 2 speed. If a Zombie token would leave play, remove it from the game instead.)

But like micromajigs I would want other ways to make Zombie Tokens.

Also I'm not sure if those stats would be balanced, just a suggestion.

[Knightmare13]

I personally really like the idea, not sure about the stats or the cost, but the idea is definitly somthing I would play.
