Okay, guys, sorry to impose, but I thought up a concept this morning and it has been HOUNDING at my brain and I just had to get it out there because my own card theme unfortunately doesn't really have anything that fits(of course, I can absolutely skip out on the card theme for the sake of making a well meshing card, but still). But the fact that we had waifus and are kinda working on figuring out some solid weaknesses to make nice high-stat beatsticks out of, it gave me a brilliant idea.
First off will require adding a new Verb to the games mechanics. This has of course been done before with Banishing. That verb being
Equip. Idea being that Equipped cards get 'attached' to another card, essentially making them a non-entity on the field for as long as the Equipping card remains(without dedicated effects interfering). They can't be targeted individually by another card(again, without dedicated effects), nor damaged([insert dedicated effects clause]), and in turn would have effects that related to
being equipped.
The main thing just being to distinguish Equipping from essentially being self-Card Casting with extra buffs and keep anti/pro-banish cards from triggering off Equipping.
From there, we make Pilots, who can Equip themselves to specific types of Card, and Mechs/Vehicles/etc., that have high stats but can't attack, defend, or deal damage unless equipped with a Pilot.
The reason why this would be imposing on you guys is that... well, 1, as I said, I don't exactly have much in the way of vehicles or pilots in my deck. I mean, funnily enough I do have a matching pair but otherwise nothing and it'd essentially mean a dead card for one turn unless I spend my Victory Points on it, and even then it'd be a dead card for the
rest of you for a turn and only at its best in specifically my deck. And 2, I only get to make one non-Reward card this turn so I can't do it all myself. So, instead, I came up with a pair of cards that works for two of
your decks!
One for The
*Card Name: Dragon Pilot Waifu
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Green and White
Attack: Low if any
Hearts: Low
Stars: 0
Card Effect: At the end of each turn this spends not Equipped to a Card, you may Equip it to one Aircraft card you control. If you do, that card gains +1/+1. If the Equipping card is also Draconic, it gains an additional +1/+1.
Flavor Text:
Metadata: Equipped cards are intended to be in a sort of vague 'off the board but still in play state', that can be damaged and destroyed but require dedicated anti-equip cards to do so.

*Card Name: Morphing Jet Dragon
*Card Picture:
*Background Color: Red and White
Attack: High
Hearts: Medium
Stars: 1?
Card Effect: This cards attack is Halved while not Equipped with a Pilot.
Flavor Text: It's more comfortable in there than it looks.
Metadata: Intended to count as both a Aircraft and a Dragon, since he's a Dragon that turns into an Aircraft
