Title: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 13, 2011, 01:07:00 PM: I had an idea for a card but after I made the Image I couldn't think of an ability... Any ideas?

1 Samuel 16:23

Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 13, 2011, 01:25:31 PM: I like that, more demon killers.
One thing though... I thought it'd be cool to have a card that can "stick" on musicians like a weapon.

Maybe a instrument card that can stick to them! like cymbols, harp, and so on

Post by: RTSmaniac on May 13, 2011, 02:09:39 PM: maybe more of a melody type ability like everytime it enters battle it recieves a melody counter to shuffle x demons where x equals the number of counters on card.

be sure to limit ability to 5 lines on card.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: SomeKittens on May 13, 2011, 02:36:53 PM: Musicians can add counters in 4/4.

Post by: megamanlan on May 13, 2011, 03:14:09 PM: I would put it as 'Place on a Musician or David. Protect Holder from cards that Target this Musician. Once every 3 turns, Shuffle all Demons into Owners Deck.'
How's that? I think of when David played his harp for Saul and when he did Saul couldn't really do anything to David, and he missed when he threw the spear at him.

I would put it as 'Place on a Musician. Negate effects that target this Musician. Once every 3 turns, Shuffle all Demons into Owners Deck.'

It would negate itself the way you're wording it. How about "Protect Musician from effect (except this card)"
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: megamanlan on May 13, 2011, 04:34:52 PM: Actually it wouldn't because it's already on him. It no longer targets him after it's placed on him.
But I do think that 'Protect' might be better too.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 14, 2011, 12:02:08 AM: Seeing all these ideas I thought I could make something like: Place on your musician. Your musician ignores demons and is protected from discard.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Minister Polarius on May 14, 2011, 02:46:53 AM: I like the original SA, just add "Profit!" as the 3rd ability.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 14, 2011, 09:06:34 AM: "Place on your musician...profit!" ?

"Place on your musician...profit!" ?

.....or...... Place on your Musician to gain the identifier "Green brigade Prophet."

I believe he was trying to connect the card idea with David...
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 14, 2011, 03:43:54 PM: Well, it does say "Place on your musician..."
Isn't David a musician?

He is.

However, I was playing on the word "profit" from the post before mine. ;)

I think he meant prophet. I agree w/ having the effect make the holder unable to be targeted by other effects.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: SomeKittens on May 15, 2011, 12:32:24 AM: I'm fairly sure he meant Profit. My personal card is a green brigade Profit. (business major)

I noticed that this would completely anihalate an all-demon deck... I'd change it to "immune to" instead of "ignore"

Nice ;)
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: SomeKittens on May 15, 2011, 12:41:58 AM: Immune would also make it useful if they've got Golgatha. White's full of ignore already, and they've got Mary Magdalene. Perhaps something not anti-demon? I understand the biblical relevance, but if you want it to be playable...
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 15, 2011, 12:43:54 AM: True...
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: megamanlan on May 15, 2011, 04:15:33 PM: I like the shuffling Demons every three turns instead.

I changed the original image, I thought this was a good idea for the ability.

Post by: SomeKittens on May 31, 2011, 04:31:10 PM: The image doesn't load for me.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 31, 2011, 09:30:34 PM: Fixed.
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: SomeKittens on May 31, 2011, 11:32:08 PM: I like it. One correction: David's already a musician (or should be)
Title: Re: Harp Help
Post by: Aelec Enitnel on May 31, 2011, 11:33:51 PM: Oops. Yeah, I think he is.
