CYOGTCG Wars - Team 2 Design Thread

Click here to go to the Core Thread.

This is the thread where you can discuss things such as tactics, complain about your team members, and review all of the cards that were designed by your team so far.

When a new design phase is declared here, you may create a new card by filling out the below template. As a reminder, there is no limit to what changes the GM can make in the name of game balance, and the actual card you get may be radically different from what you wanted.

Fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory. You may use words such as "Low" or "High" to describe stats instead of providing a number. The "Metadata" field can be used to tell the GM what you hope to achieve with your card design. The "Reference" field is for if you want to make a card that refers to things like a specific character that the GM may not be familiar with.

"Hehhe hehhe... good to have you hear, young man... now what card do you favour?

So far, it's Team G (Gallant Gentleman & Gruscilla) vs Team E (Erik and Emil)!

The different regions are already suggesting to me some card ideas. I think I'm going to go with the Brown theme, and include at least one expensive spell-like effect (for Mire synergy).

[Supernerd]

Alright, I see no reason to delay the first design phase any futher. Design Phase 1 has officially started! You may now go and fill out that form thingy. Any fields that are non-mandatory can be left blank if you prefer. the final card will do something even if you leave all the non-mandatory fields blank.

Card forms submitted prior to now will be processed at the end of this design phase.

"Ahoy! You remind me of an old song grandma! 'Pale was the wounded knight, that bore the rowan shield'...Uh, I'll take the one on the left."

I'm just going to make whatever card I feel like in the instant. Team G is a great idea that I support fully, even if we end up accepting non Gs.

I had this one left over from last game, might as well start with it:

*Card Name: Star Wish Waifu
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Black
Attack:
Hearts:
Stars:
Card Effect:
Flavor Text: "It's said love is the most powerful force in the universe. I am attempting to harness that power to create a weapon of mass destruction."
Metadata:
Reference: A flash game from over a decade ago that was popular for a while. Man I'm old.

[notquitethere]

OK, Team G we shall be.

I'm going to start with a card I can't afford to play, and the later add in cards for star growth.

"Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Card Name: Hell-Broth
Card Picture:
Background Color: Brown
Attack: 0
Hearts: 0
Stars: 2
Card Effect: Take control of other player's cards in play which have a combined cost of no more than 2 stars.
Flavor Text: "For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble"
Metadata: Intended as a powerful 2 star spell effect to make use of the half cost in the Mire.
Reference: The theme is as per Macbeth witches.

[Supernerd]

The next design phase starts now! View the second post to see the Cardlist, which is where cards will be put upon creation!

I will point out that cards cannot actually have a black background, as black text would be invisible on it. I'll automatically turn any requests for a black card to a dark grey one.

[Stirk]

Our thread name must be changed from Team 2 to team G, so the other team knows we're better than them.

*Card Name: Pacifist Gunslinger Waifu
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Red
Attack:
Hearts:
Stars: 2+
Card Effect: This card can not destroy any other cards directly.
Flavor Text: You have to value people's lives
Metadata: I just wanna see what I get for that penalty.
Reference: The flavor of the month is licorice. Character is essentially Vash if he wore a skirt and had yuribait with Wolfwood.

[notquitethere]

Card Name: Ghost Eel
Card Picture:
Background Color: Grey
Attack: 2
Hearts: 2
Stars: 0
Card Effect: This card is a ghost and a fish.
Flavor: Nothing is more slippery than an undead eel.
Metadata:
Reference: A basic creature card that combines the ghost and fish sub-types.

"Welcome to Team G, Miss Galloc. Oh it's 'Dalloc'? Very nice, Miss Galloc. I am Gruscilla, mistress of the unseen arts, the stuff from which nightmares are wrought, and this is the Gallant Gentleman, a sailor with a penchant for waifus. By our cards combined, let us conquer the world!"

[Stirk]

TGG coughs politely.

"It is actually The Gallant Gentleman. My first name is 'The'. I think my parents where going for 'Theo' and missed the 'O' part. I'm also a student, not a sailor. This is just the uniform of my school. Except the hat. I'm actually terrified of the water."

[notquitethere]

"My apologies, Ghe Gallant Gentleman. Nothing is more fearsome than the stygian depths of the dank waters below, waiting to swallow us all up, so your fear is entirely well placed... geh heh heh. Feast on that terror, embrace it, let it envelop you like the waves that will one day claim us all!

_{"Ahem got a little carried away hehe."}

[Failbird105]

'Okay Dalloc, don't question the crazies you're shacked up with, you've dealt with worse.'

"Dalloc, information specialist and go-to eyes on anything that they don't want you seeing." She... begrudgingly extends a 3-fingered mechanical hand, equally begrudging to disable the stun-shock feature.


*Card Name: Nightly Sweep
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Grey
Attack: 0
Hearts: 0
Stars: 1
Card Effect: Deal 2 damage to all cards you control. For each card destroyed this way, create a 4/3 Sweeper token.
Flavor Text: When night falls in the Backstreets, they will come. When the sun rises, there will be no remains.
Metadata: Idea is that you can sacrifice a group of weaker units to get a group of stronger tokens. Token image here

Reference: I don't plan to go too deep into most of the characters and stuff my cards will be based on, just know that Sweepers are Government made heavily-armored cannibals that only come out in the dead of night in order to keep the population down by 'sweeping up' anyone caught outside/with their door open.

[Supernerd]

Next design phase begins now!

[Failbird105]

*Card Name: Organ Harvest
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Yellow
Attack: 0
Hearts: 0
Stars: 0
Card Effect: Deal 3 damage to target biological card. If it is killed, gain a star.
Flavor Text: No such thing as clean money in the Backstreets.
Metadata: On the one hand, that is decent damage to be doing while still gaining a star. On the other, the card has no health and has a fairly hefty limit on what it can target, so I think it's fair.
Reference:

(please tell me if you think the image is against the site guidelines. It's gruesome but I'm not sure if it's quite graphic or detailed enough to qualify as properly 18+, I have an alternative image that could work for the effect but it doesn't fit nearly as well)
