What does Ammunition actually do? The only cards it is used for is this:


So for a card play, you can currently either do 2 + 2, spread out over two turns, requiring a specific (weak) card to survive during that period. Doing 4 damage to a single card without restriction is already 0 star card by itself:


So ammunition for damage is weak. So a new principle: ammunition should be quickplay. Then you can play a card that takes ammunition, and load it in the same turn. Quickplay here then justifies the much weakened effect.

Now how does the other Loading card stack up?

->
It currently allows three damage, quickplay, if one specific unit is in play. By increasing it to 4, it's even with the other load card but still offers a different tactical choice: one big attack, or the ability to target two cards over two rounds (possibly better for board control).

And what about the healing card? The cards either allow 3 + 3 healing over two turns, or 5 healing in one turn. So, still pretty balanced but different.

->

I dislike cards that break the turn sequencing as they make the game more confusing and slow to play on a forum, so I got rid of that. But to compensate for the power reduction of allowing the opponent to pick what card is discarded, I stopped their card draw for that turn. This could be brutal! Especially if you keep doing it... but it's only worth doing once you've gotten a board advantage. It might be thought a lot for a 0 star card, but it doesn't put creatures onto the field, or do any kind of damage, and some players want to discard cards for graveyard shenanigans.

(If any of these cards prove to be busted in actual play, a future review can always nerf them again.)

Um, Lambiture? Why does that say Rare when it's not yet? (Likewise, Lamb's Meal appears over Lamb's Gravedigger.)

Thought Shock makes me giggle in glee though.

[notquitethere]

You made it rare!

Divine Lambitual has been maid Rare

Ugh, I mixed up Lambitual and Lambiture. One sec... OK fixed.

Combat Phase

It's Stirk's turn to sit out, and Failbird and TricMagic have completed their design phases and go forward to a combat. Both of you, please send me a deck listing of 40 cards.

Failbird vs TricMagic will be fighting in Battlefield 1.

[TricMagic]

Just to double check, I can't attack on first turn right? Otherwise this might end as another blowout.

[Stirk]

Just to double check, I can't attack on first turn right? Otherwise this might end as another blowout.

I'm not sure why you think a turn 1 victory wouldn't be fair but a turn 2 victory would?

[notquitethere]

Currently, if you got a perfect draw, you could do 15 damage from the off. Which is horrible because the Endless Hordes is a profoundly broken card, but the chances of that draw is very small. If you would like to have a fun match, I suggest not fielding hollow victory cards.


Unraveller won their battle vs Supernerd. Both now enter the design phase.

[TricMagic]

My deck is ready at least. So won't have to deal with any hits this battle phase.

[Supernerd]

I'm going to drop out of the tournament thing.

[Unraveller]

Ah that's kinda sad. I was enjoying that the progenitor of the game on these forums was involved. Was interested in seeing more of your deck. Did you feel my play was a bit too much? Or rather, how could I have made the game a little nore fun for you? As a rule I don't have an interwst in playing extra broken or anti-fun stuff, and like to lean more on the thematics.

[Supernerd]

Its not any fault of yours.

[notquitethere]

Thanks for playing, Supernerd. I enjoyed watching your match, it was very close right up until the end. I would have liked to see more from your deck, as it had loads of fun tricks. I'll keep the unseen cards secret (at least until the end of the tournament), in case you'd like to play a casual match with anyone (I'd happily play a randomised deck vs yours).

Everyone else, I will give four points for Supernerd's forfeited bouts: less than a full win, to honour those that actually played, but still some points so as not to prejudice those that didn't get to play.

Spoiler: New Revealed Cards (click to show/hide)

The next bout will be between Unraveller and Stirk. I'm still waiting on new cards from Stirk, and also to see if Unraveller wishes to ban/review/rare.

[Unraveller]

Nothing to review, rarify, or ban for me this round. I most likely won't ever do the latter as taking cards away from people might make them sad. ;c

[TricMagic]

Can always review some old cards. Like Frostgiant's old merling deck.

[notquitethere]

I'm interested in joining the tournament with a legacy deck (100% existing public cards, possibly randomised), and nominating one of you as a 3rd party adjudicator for any given match. It would mean everyone else would get two more battles.

What do people think? Any objections?
