And crimson. Actually, the others you can take back whenever you want.

What I find funny is that you said yourself that you don't like it when the same card is printed multiple times for different themes.

They aren't the same card.  They each do something different, a far cry from ______ Horses.

I know, but four of them are in the same format.

Maybe you don't believe in what you believe in to the degree that I do...if that makes sense.

You don't understand what I said about having the "same" card in every brigade.

I am in love with these cards. A few questions/comments, though.

The Gold one seems a little under-powered. Just blocking with Huge Egyptian+Spear nets you two. So does playing Seemingly Insignificant. But for this card, you have to lose two EC's for two turns to get the same result. It is nice that you can scale it, but it scales in very bad proportion. If you wanted to Discard five cards at once (to make it better than Seemingly Insignificant+HE+Spear), you'd have to lose five EC's for five turns. I'd say make either the turns or the number of EC's fixed at something lowish (one or two) and let the other be the variable.

The Orange one seems just a little on the OP side. Maybe make it two?

The Brown one could be a lot more creative. As it is, it's just the most powerful Protection in the game.

The Black one could also be much more creative.

I love how balanced the Crimson one is. It doesn't do anything if your opponent is playing mono, but punishes the mess out of splashed.

The Pale one could use a little balancing, but I like the concept.

Love the Grey one.

love them all too...one suggestion though...maybe switch the '1' and '2' for both the black and brown enhancement? the 1 seems more powerful than the 2, which i think the 2 should be more powerful since you're setting aside more ec's.

I agree with the black one and swapped it around.  The brown one though I think is better staying as is because of the possibility of using it in tandem with Broken Cisterns and Plagued with Diseases.  Decreasing all opponent's Heroes by 0/5 or more is better than protecting one Fortress, especially considering you may not even be facing an opponent who is targeting your Fortresses whereas your opponent will always have Heroes to decrease.
