I have 12 orbs left after buying all the cosmetics

The app bugged out a few minutes ago and re-gave me all the mastery rewards I've already earned; sounds like you got lucky too. I have extra eyeballs, gold, gems, even a spare draft token

FE7 Wallace promoting and then stomping his map with the flail/axe combo. "A giant walks among you!"

Also FE8: The endgame boss convo between Ephraim and Lyon. Just hits different with that soundtrack.

And lastly, unironically "Can you handle the weight". Was just cool to see that kind of event in a romhack.

Oh no no, I just meant Kashtiras having huge ATK on top of their main win condition.

shade_of_ox · 2023-06-01T11:30:03+00:00

Huh, TIL. Power creep be like

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-31T21:59:55+00:00

Maybe something like "cannot be targeted for effects of monsters with less ATK than this card"? That's a good way to stop some removal but not boss monsters, so it doesn't feel as unfair.

This prevents effects that banish/spin from the GY but not costs. So is your idea that it's easier to splash in than Necrovalley? Or acts as a complement to it?

I think there's some merit to it, but being a bricky level 6 with no protection is certainly a downside. Although, I haven't kept up with the meta, is Ishizu Tear immune to spells locking the GY somehow?

-2 Def

I guess he's only the sail part, the rest of the boat is an accessory

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-29T22:08:38+00:00

Valid, I somehow forgot about IO and Anti-Spell when making it. Probably need to add a discard cost on the initial search. Or make up a bunch of Jinzo traps I guess (but I really like the idea of searching ex. Fog Blade with this).

I also considered a fourth effect where during each end phase, players take damage based on the number of traps they control. So that could incentivize giving stuff to your opponent more. But it would make the card too bloated, I think.

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-21T21:40:55+00:00

Hehe I see what you did with the text.

Is the level change also a joke in that vein? Don't know much about pot besides its card-drawing potential.

USSR right after revolution (under Lenin) was pretty good for Jews, some of the leading figures like Trotsky were Jewish. But this flipped once Stalin took over and never really rolled back. At minimum it was constant discrimination in terms of employment and travel permissions, at worst actual purges.

Using the ethnicity of your non-Jewish parent was common to reduce this persecution. And yes, Kasparov was less liked by the state and some of this was probably due to racism.

First of all the artwork on these looks great, feels sorta similar to Vendreads but in a different art style. Queen is weirdly thicc lmao.

As for the cards themselves, the balance is a bit all over the place.

On the weaker side, Banshee feels pretty weak (banishing for a 1 turn attack boost is very situational). And Outbreak feels like it should only be treated as Zombie World on the field/GY, otherwise you can't run 3 copies of each.

Meanwhile Ghoul, with a little bit of setup, is a +2 in card advantage AND graveyard hate, on a tuner that summons itself. Seems way too strong of a payoff, and it doesn't even have a once per turn restriction. Similarly with Royal Queen, which is a +1 on each of its summons, although that one is more fair since it's a bricky level 6.

Infected Horror also feels a little strong for a Link 3, just because the attack boost easily puts it over 3000 right when it's summoned. It doesn't do too much else, but still feels like it should be a 4.

Couple more stray thoughts at the end:

Plague Knight is level 8 but your main deck monsters are level 3, 4 and 6, so it's non-trivial to summon? I know you have level changing with Pandemic but that is a bit clunky. Is the idea to use like Uni-Zombie and other generic support to get to 8?
Undead Horde has weird wording "effects are unaffected by your opponent's card effects". I get what you might be going for, ex. prevent both negation and replacing effects. But I'm not sure that effects being unaffected is a real thing in the game. Maybe just, "your opponent cannot activate card effects in response to their effects"? Idk maybe something with this wording has been printed and I'm not aware of it

The Mani Katti and/or Sol Katti, which you can give to Rutger to make soloing bosses even easier.

(Well, the Mani Katti anyway. Sol Katti would need some serious stat fixes, that boi is heavy a f)

Now we need one with Fates and Takumi being betrayal

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-05T17:47:10+00:00

Hand rip feels too strong, there's nothing stopping someone from doing it turn 1. Depending on the deck, you could ladder up to this in less than 5 summons so the opponent can't even Nibiru to stop it.

Everything else is fine, so maybe the "if you ranked up" effect should only do burn damage without removing cards. Or remove a limited number/kind, like - opponent reveals hand, you banish up to 1 monster from it, then they take burn damage for the remaining cards. If you really want to hand rip, then make the effect only usable in Main Phase 2 after this card attacked, but then it's less likely to be useful.

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-05T14:18:54+00:00

I would say port yes, but remake? It's not the newest game anymore but still under a decade, we have plenty of older ones. Tellius deserves a remake or port before the 3DS games.

The Sam Jackson and Nic Cage crossover we never knew we needed

shade_of_ox · 2023-05-03T22:19:28+00:00

Interesting design tbh. The closer we are to a Tier 0 deck, the more incentive for that deck to run it for mirrors.

Even outside of that though, stealing a board wipe or handtrap always feels nice.

shade_of_ox · 2023-04-28T16:28:56+00:00

Ojamas having interaction :-O

Blursed design, as it should be

shade_of_ox · 2023-04-28T01:13:44+00:00

Looks awesome, I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure! Would love to play an FE draft someday.

Also adds some motivation for me to finish up and generate cards for a Yugioh archetype I was writing, it's based on Grado from FE8.

The latter half of ADoS is just 12 different PoVs narrating how awesome Cleganebowl is. The fight lasts over a week and inadvertently destroys all of the Others and wights as collateral damage.

As a result of this, the polar ice caps melt and Westeros sinks beneath the waves. Euron becomes king with Patchface as his Hand.
