Rogue Character -- The Patsy

The Patsy
1[D][D]
1/1/3
Rogue Character--outlaw

Anything that can pick this card must pick it.

When this card is destroyed, search your deck for a character card and reveal it. Put that card into your hand.

I ain't no chump... Right boss?

_______________________________________

I thought of making this card a "pluck" and having it search for "pluck" cards when it died, but I this version would be better. Too good? I'm not sure about the name either... help?

Far to mighty and mixing rogues (ferret) with warlords imho. Character-searching belongs to them.

How about:

3[D][D]
1/1/3
Rogue Character--outlaw

When this card is destroyed, you may choose a cardtype. If you do, reveal the top card of your deck. If it is the chosen type, put it into your hand. Otherwise, put it on the bottom of your deck and discard a card.

Compare the card to Key Man.

[moonfolk]

Maybe it could just be a "pluck" card then. Still too good?

The Patsy
3[D][D]

Rogue Character--outlaw, pluck

UNIQUE PLUCK

Anything that can pick this card must pick it.

When this card is destroyed, search your deck for a "pluck" card and reveal it. Put that card into your hand.

Pluck cards have the "Change Costume" opinion...
So would like to see this on this card too!
But like to read about a NEW PLUCK! (Love the others realy), so maybe it is MORE possible, to build a pluck-deck...

Maybe so:

The Patsy
4[D][D][D][D]
1/3/3
Rogue Character--outlaw, pluck

UNIQUE PLUCK

Anything that can pick this card must pick it.

If this card is picked, put a token on it.

-Change Costume-
COST: Pay 3. Remove all tokens from this card. Shuffle this card into it´s owners deck. Pick a character.
EFFECT: X is half the number of tokens removed from this card rounded up. Take control of the picked character. The character gains the rules text UNIQUE PLUCK. Search your deck for a "pluck" card with a different name and put it into your hand.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He is the only one so, who gets the changed costume on hand. Because you maybe already got one character.

I like ImInnerens version (as well as the first version, but I think it's pretty powerful).

I don't think The original The Patsy should be compared to the Key Man. It's a different trade and Key Man is a common card. I wouldn't mind seeing The Patsy as:

The Patsy
1[D][D][D]
1/1/3
Rogue Character - Outlaw

Anything that can pick this card must pick it.

If this card is destroyed search your deck for a rogue character and put it on the top of your deck.

[ImInneren]

But this is Warlord-Trade to look for characters and put it on deck.
And with my version, he cost 4 (3 more as yours) and have 4 [D] (one more as yours) and need to be picked to use the ability with cost 3 (3 more like your search).
So as RARE (like all other Plucks) it is not so overpowered
AND!!! He is Unique!

[Sigorion]

I think your version of The Patsy is awesome. I just liked the original concept as well. Could be two different cards. And I think Rogue could have some limited character search. Warlord got some recycling possibilities in SEED, which I think is a Banker thing.

Adding more options doesn't mean removal of flavor of a trade, as long as it is limited. I (obviously) think it's just fine.

[ImInneren]

Yeah, 2 cards would be fine. Rogues only have Pluck for searching Characters I think^^
And Pluck always Change Costume, or not?^^

[moonfolk]

I think adding elements that are seen as only for other trades is important for overall card and game balance. I like the remake, I like the remake of the original; flavorwise, I want the "must be picked" rule for the concept of a "patsy."
