New Mechanic- Magnify

[El Pez]

Magnify- low cost Characters and Tactics that get better for each card of the same name you reveal from your face-down resources. For example:

Rocket Rogue
Cost: 2
Threshold: DD
2/1/3
Rogue Character

When this character attacks you may Magnify. This character gains 1 speed for each time it was Magnified.
If this card is destroyed, flip it face-down under its owner's control instead.

Magnimajig
M4r7y, wh47 15 17 d01n9?
Cost: 1
Threshold: E
1/1/3
Gearsmith Character - majig

When this character attacks you may Magnify. This character gains 1 str and 1 life and loses 1 spd for each time it was Magnified.
If this card is destroyed, flip it face-down under its owner's control instead.

or a Common/Uncommon tactic

Attach to Character
If the attached character Magnifies, you may add 1 to its Magnify total.

EEEE - Mega Magnify
Use this only while this card is a face-down resource. When you play a tactic with Magnify, you may reveal this card. If you do, add 2 to its Magnify total.

These are just examples, remember I'm suggesting the Mechanic more than the specific cards. I suggested this mechanic in my post about Unique Tactics, but it can be a mechanic that exists on several different power levels.

I like it.

[Sigorion]

Interesting. They have to be careful when designing the cards though (maybe even more than usually). I assume that you can only magnify once per revealed face-down resource (of the same name) you control. Really cool idea anyway.

[El Pez]

Yeah, it would trigger, and you would reveal all simultaneously.
In the Character example, you could attack with 2 Rocket Rogues- Magnify triggers for each. Say I reveal 2 face-down for one but then for the second trigger reveal 1. Now I'm attacking with a 2/1/5 and a 2/1/4. If they block with an X/2/3, the 5 speed kills a blocker, the 4 speed damages the faction.

Now if it was an activation not a trigger... Combat gets ridiculous.

That's where the mechanic idea came from, in a more grandiose form. I plan on templating those examples as Magnify cards as well

I added a gearsmith character and item.
