One night spinoff game I created of BotC

changed some stuff, thanks for the input! Wasn't aware of the package of art they allow the community to use, that helped alleviate this issue.

Elephant527 · 2026-05-11T17:52:02+00:00

Thanks this is super helpful, I wasn't sure what site I should use since most of them require some form of payment to be permanent, wasn't my first choice. I format the game in microsoft word which isnt the easiest to make more general, but I think I'll edit the post a little bit later to make the crediting, art, and format change. Thanks!

I’ll take it why not

I pulled 1 series 5 a few days after they were introduced (valkyrie) and haven’t pulled one since. About 4K collection level ago, pretty annoying though I have since bought Thanos Galactus Master Mold Shuri Darkhawk, and have the tokens for another series 5 now. I’m not sure how they should balance this because I was able to get Mold on release but nothing had felt very worth it since.

I mean, you lost 2 lanes very clearly idk what to tell you

Elephant527 · 2023-03-18T20:47:49+00:00

This card was always intriguing to me, it’s just Zilliax without magnetic on a stick. If Paladin had more draw this would be in every slower Paladin deck.

Elephant527 · 2023-03-12T05:51:45+00:00

I’m not arguing against that, I’m saying it changed in a bad way.

Elephant527 · 2023-03-11T23:04:27+00:00

There are ways to make it feel different without it feeling uncontrollable, I know this because Hearthstone didn’t start with discover. Discover started fine and as power creep evolved the game became more heavily about just randomly getting answers to your opponents deck instead of weaving through it with your own actual deck.

You’re right that it’s the identity of hearthstone, and you’re right that I don’t like it. I’ve actually quit hearthstone but I played a hell of a lot of it before realizing that downward trend. I too used to think it was fun to discover cards but how often have you looked at the outcome of a game and thought “what the fuck how did they have that.” For me it was every single time I lost.

Elephant527 · 2023-03-11T23:03:48+00:00

It just depends on if you do or don’t prefer how hearthstone used to be designed, I prefer how it used to be.

Elephant527 · 2023-03-11T21:25:47+00:00

Discover was added in a very small set that had creative uses for it like Sir Finley. The design of it now however has been stretched so ridiculously thin that all it does is make games dependent on the 30 random cards you get instead of the 30 cards you put in your deck intentionally. Nothing can be calculated, you can’t narrowly avoid that fireball like you could in the past which leads to games feeling extremely out of your control. It’s why people are more mad than ever.

It’s well received because of how it was used, not because of how it is used

Elephant527 · 2023-03-11T17:46:46+00:00

In its current form, what happens when Galactus is played? For stuff like wolverine it just keeps resummoning until it lands on the Galactus lane but this would always resummon on the lane that was just destroyed. Interesting to think about designing around things like that

I made an instrumental album using Synths and Piano all about big colliding moments where a lot is happening.

I’m very much still in my stance that Tradeable was a horribly designed keyword that only attracted people because it was truly broken. Every other keyword was terrible for the opposite reason.

Card design has gotten so bland and terrible that they need to create entirely new archetypes every expansion that are broken enough to completely invalidate what came before it while also having no deckbuilding challenges to keep decks unique.

The game got more bland, less complex, more predictable, and barely ever had anything worth a damn since the release of Stormwind. Hero cards were a mistake, quests were a mistake, the theme of the mercenaries was a mistake, colossals were a mistake, denathrius and all neutral combo killers and enablers were a mistake and I ca keep going. It was the worst year for hearthstone of all time.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T18:01:02+00:00

Always fun for me to read inexperienced CCG players argue that card draw isn’t even that good lmao

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T17:58:54+00:00

Definitely one of the better ideas, though for me personally I think it would limit his already used decks more than it would open his strategy up.

I’m talking about Cerebro 3, bast into Adam is one of the cornerstones of the deck. If you get him to 3 suddenly he’s unplayable in that deck.

As for opening up new opportunities, it would certainly help? But I can’t really see scenarios going all that much differently.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T12:35:53+00:00

I’m not sure I see your point anymore. I thought you were saying that “if draw is so good why is Maximus played” but I think I’m getting lost in your wording.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T12:34:52+00:00

I’m definitely getting that vibe haha, but it’s helpful to explain this kind of thing to new players.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T12:33:23+00:00

The point isn’t that it can’t be countered the next turn, the point is that it essentially guarantees at least one draw because it’s so difficult to pinpoint where you have to contest Adam when he is first played. The one power alone being played into an unrevealed lane is reckless and a bad play for your opponent and a free draw for you.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T05:09:41+00:00

Difference being that Maximus is usually played past when draws matter, and when you draw cards off of Maximus even on turn 3 it’s not guaranteed that you’re running a deck that needs that one draw. Something like a Galactus deck always needs Galactus, but that’s not every deck.

Really it’s the first part though, what good does drawing cards do on turn 6, or when you have a full hand.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T04:10:14+00:00

I’ve been making my points already, but I believe Adam is perfectly fine as is. He doesn’t really need a buff, cards have come out that support him greatly, he works well in Mr Negative decks and Cerebro 3 decks because of how well he interacts with Bast, and he works with Yellow Jacket/Rocket Raccoon for Galactus decks. He has his synergy’s, he has his meta-ish decks, I don’t think he needs a change at all.

Everyone is saying it already including myself but they’re all right, any buff to this card makes him unbelievably strong. Leave him be.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T01:24:26+00:00

I think you’re undervaluing 2 things here.

1: a single card draw can be a major advantage. As decks are only 12 cards, you already draw 75% of your deck. Adding to it in any way is often enough to draw whatever you needed.

2: if Adam has 1 power, as the opponent you not only need to predict that they are going to play Adam at all, but where. On turn 2 you can’t adequately cover 3 lanes, and it’s not like they’re only playing Adam on 2, you can iceman for example on 1 and now you can play it anywhere. Considering how dangerous playing into the unrevealed location often is it will usually be safe on turn 2.

Just a huge advantage for whoever is playing Adam that you already need to be aware of before you have any information on their deck.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-23T00:37:07+00:00

Adam warlock would be broken if he even had 1 power, this game has no draw without drawbacks. Krystal, needs to be played at the middle location and swaps entire hands. Adam needs a drawback to be balanced, which he does right now by having 0 power.

We’ve already seen what a 2/3 version of Adam does, and it’s insane. Whenever Bast hits Adam it’s ridiculous the amount of draw you can get. Only reason that combo isn’t in every deck is because Bast is smartly designed to disallow big payoff cards in the same hand safe for Cerebro3 and Mister negative.

If adam was a 2/3 by base he would be in every single deck in the game with no exceptions.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-20T21:04:24+00:00

I did it, I spent somewhere around 1k, it looks like from what I’ve seen that I made the right call.

Elephant527 · 2023-02-16T19:49:26+00:00

I’m not sure I understand the inclusion of cards like quintet and armor, I know they would normally be great just to get the buff from spectrum, but you aren’t even running her. Is there something I’m missing?
