CUSTOM ARTWORK ONLY
I am available to make the art for your cards. You can make your art if you want to. All art must come from Bay 12 users!
I will also create the cards in the editor for you if you wish, but you will need to post the card image when you play your move.


MECH VANITY CARD
While you can switch mechs at any time, the audience favors repeat mechs. When you PM your registration, post your vanity card in the thread visibly.


CUSTOM CARDS
Provide image links to your cards.

• You may add the medal icon(below stats, 4th slot) if the card has been exchanged and used by another in battle. Do not do this for an "illegal" card.
  
• If your card was rated "illegal", you may add the crossbones icon. The amount of information in the warning message will be reduced.

JUDGING LENIENCY
Allocate 3 points as desired, no more than 2 in one.

• Add a "+" to the end of this number, if it has been used in combat before.

STANDARD CARDS
Balance your standard armaments for each category. Allocate 3 points as desired, no restrictions.


OLDER VERSIONS
You may reuse cards with outdated mechanics if you do not care how I interpret them. Otherwise if you updated them provide a link to the original. Old cards must be remade with custom art, if not already.

BASIC COMBAT

GAME MECHANICS ARE NEVER FINAL, AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO SUDDEN AND DRAMATIC CHANGES.

DECK COMPOSITION

20 cards:

3-12 custom cards
• (3 types, 1-4 each)

8-17 common cards
• (1 or more types, 1-17 each)

0-1 exchange card "X card"


HOW TO FIGHT

Battles will be 1-on-1 matches. Can you climb the top of the ladder? Be the best of 8 to earn the title of "Champion".

This is a card game. Some cards are attacks, but they can be utilitarian.
You will design 3 custom cards. Their power will be judged by me, and you will get 1 to 4 copies of each based on this assessment. See the Custom Card Virtues section for further details.

The main aspects a card might have are:
Priority - How soon it activates. AKA "ZIP"
Accuracy - The chance to hit the target. AKA "HIT"
Damage - How much destruction it wrecks on the target. AKA "POW"

Turns will have 3 phases:
Card Set Phase: PM your turn. Wait for me to announce both are in.
Card Reveal Phase: Post your turn.
Card Resolve Phase: Cards are played and changes to your hand are PMd to you.

All players begin with 5 cards from their deck of 20.
Players can play 1 card.
Players can assign 1 blocking card, even the played card.
Players can discard any cards.
Players draw 1 card at end of turn, 2 if a mech opponent was successfully damaged, up to the 5 card hand limit.
When the deck runs out, the discard pile is shuffled to remake it.

When you take damage your new total damage is rolled, and on a 10 or higher you are destroyed.
When you take damage your blocking card is destroyed, if it is the last copy of a custom card you are destroyed.
• Your blocker's name is then revealed.
If no blocking card is chosen at the start of your turn, then one is drawn from your deck.
• Your drawn blocker is never revealed.
An assigned blocker is no longer "in your hand".
If the card you played is assigned as your blocker, if it is destroyed first it will do nothing.

Cards that target another mech or their cards, regardless if they inflict damage or not, are divided into Near and Far. Others are Self.
Near cards return to your hand if they miss.
Which ever card type was played last between two mechs is now their current range, even if it missed.
If the next card each play are of different type, the one that matches their distance will go first, ignoring priority.
Self will always go first in a tie with Far and Near.


CUSTOM CARDS

CUSTOM CARD VIRTUES

  • Only up to 5 cards in your hand at any time.
  • Only up to 20 cards in total deck at all times.
  • Execution of a card and its' effects within a turn are brief and straightforward.
  

Cards that uphold these virtues are considered 'Legal', and no special handicap cards will be needed to balance them.
Competitors will be warned of an 'Illegal' deck, and for which reason...if extra caution is advised.

Make the title and sub-title in CAPS.
Make the sub-title "CUSTOM".

See the common cards for a basic reference.

You can refer to priority, accuracy, and damage as ZIP, HIT, and POW respectively, for brevity in the description.

ABOUT

Welcome Pilot!

This is the happy descendant of several mech game iterations, namely REDNECK MECHS, first posted under the title "Mech Card Battle", and more recently several brief test which culminated in where you are now, the true "Mech Card Battle 2".

This game is made to be both spectacle and sport. Balance will evolve to make the game more fun to play, and watch.

CHANGELOG

Update 1.0.0
DECKA STRIKE

I had so much fun with Colosseum 12 and I think you guys did too. Here are some changes:

• Custom art used on all cards

• "Self" distance

• Rankings ladder

• "Anime" story

Spoiler: Original OP (click to show/hide)

i'm glad you put a lot of meaningful thought into this because honestly i'm just happy to be blown up and be part of an anime
