I liked the old one okay, except I'm thinking maybe it should reduce opponent's hand by two cards instead of just one (6 is a good number for evil anyway). And obviously, it should be orange.

maybe to orange and give it some effect of taking cards from draw pile or just make it the same effect as it is already

Death and Hades 8/8 Orange Evil Character
-Demon, X is number of cards in opponent's hand-

"Opponent must place cards from hand under his deck until X is less than or equal to six. You may place an equal number of cards from hand beneath deck. Cannot be negated."

What do you think?

Yes. Some card ideas from here are made as actual cards, with slight modifications oftentimes.

I don't see why you can't just say...

Death and Hades 8/8 Orange Evil Character

"If opponent has more than 6 cards in hand, he must place cards from hand under his deck until he has 6 or less cards in his hand. You may place an equal number of cards from hand beneath deck. Cannot be negated."

I love the idea either way.

The playtesters have decided, for the sake of card art that Cactus has to pay for, that, when formulating special abilities, it is proper to reduce the number of words in said special abilities, which would, in effect, allow the players to have a greater sense of appreciation for the time and efforts of the artist who performed the work on said art.

That is, shorter SA's = better.

Well, I at least understand your convictions. However, I think simpler = better.

I actually took a crack at a redesigned Death and Hades, along with the other riders of the apocalypse check out the thread here. (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=17607.0)  Just a thought I was going for a whole sub theme of the riders of revelation but I think I went overboard with the multi-colored aspect of the cards.

Yeah, I like all those ideas (especially the MC-ness).

If you ask me, Death and Hades has the wrong ability to begin with. That should go to Pestilence... heres what I think they should be like.

War - 8/8 crimson/orange evil character - Select any two characters in any territory to fight each other. Losers are discarded.

Pestillence - 8/8 Grey/orange evil character - All players with more than seven cards in hand must discard until their hand contains seven cards.

Famine - 8/8 Brown/orange evil character - Opponent must skip their next draw phase. Opponent may permanently reduce one of their heroes by 0/4 instead.

Death and Hades - 8/8 Pale green/ orange evil character - All heroes in battle become diseased and decrease 0/2 per turn. If hero(s) reach */0 or less, remove them from the game.

I have 8 cards in my hand, you block with Death and Hades. I discard Shamgar. Shamgar just suffered death.

Shamgar won't be the only one suffering death if you don't liberate those pots soon.

You mean the Miscellanian variety of pots?

You start by liberating Misthalin. I've already liberated Kandarin and I'm working on Asgarnia.
