Title: Slow Down Ideas
Post by: Sean on February 02, 2011, 10:53:01 AM
Unconfessed Sin
Palegreen Enhancement
Territory Class
Place in one opponent's territory.  That player may only draw two cards during their draw phase while this card remains.

Heavy Burden
Palegreen Enhancement
Place on a Hero.  Each time that Hero enters battle, the player controlling it must place a card from hand on top of own draw pile.

Equal Scales
White Covenant
Any time a player draws a card (except draw phase), that player must place a card from hand or territory beneath owner's deck.

Horridly broken. These cards would entirely undo the SitC fix.

Hmm, I was thinking there was enough counters to place cards.  Anyway, I think slowing decks down would be an interested strategy to expand.

Don't like the draw 2. But I really like the other cards. There ARE plenty of counters to place cards. Or why not just make it a game rule that there can only be one of those types in territory? If you place another, the first gets discarded.

RBD does a good job of that already.

I wouldn't say RBD slows decks down.. I'd say it returns them to their original speed (3 cards on draw). It shuts down all of the extra drawing, sure.

I especially like that these seem pretty balanced. One is only activated when a hero it's placed on enters battle, and the other affects ALL players.  Neither of those are overpowered in my mind. Unconfessed Sin is though. :P

Equal Scales is broken if you use Demons/Gates.

Demons/Gates don't really need any help being powerful and I don't see it helping that much, there's already an artifact that let's you put demons under your deck, I can't see this one being that much worse.

Laver doesn't effect your opponents.  You could combo Scales with Abom for mass hilarity/sadface.

Yes, and scales doesn't let you draw. Also..

Would solve most/all of these problems.

I actually really like these. A bit unbalanced, and could use some work. But good overall.
