See the Repository for the newly revealed cards, plus all the version 2 of cards. Note that there are no so many cards they wouldn't all fit in the OP, so I've moved the latest cards to the 3rd post.

Oh and here's the latest ban list:

Spoiler: Banned Cards (click to show/hide)

These cards cannot be played in decks.

[Unraveller]

It'll take me a minute to do mine. Maybe Tric vs Fail next?

[Failbird105]

I'm waiting for my cards to be made first

Edit: they've been made. I'm gonna start plotting out some good deck ideas now.

NQT wins the bout vs Stirk

PLAYER	W	L	D	AUTO	BOUTS	VP

That means everyone is in the design phase now.

I will review Sacrificial Numbers of the Lamb and Sonic Rings while I'm at it.

(it was about OK in the context of the other Lamb but stupid broken in combo with other legacy cards),

Design Phase Status:

Stirk can ban/review/rare if they want too, and can submit two new cards
Unraveller can ban/review/rare and submit cards.
Tric has done everything (I just need to make the new cards)
NQT has done everything.
Failbird has done everything.

I'd probably remove it's anti-damage property when attacking. So it ends up spending the rings it gains when striking something that can strike back.

Sad to see the Numbers go.

I'd probably remove it's anti-damage property when attacking. So it ends up spending the rings it gains when striking something that can strike back.

That was what I was thinking too. So you can still rack up rings if you're clever with it, but it requires some thought and another player can counter it by playing, like, a 1/4 blocker.

Sad to see the Numbers go.

This is a trickier to nerf as it has three good things going for it (agility, attack = stars, stars on death), any of which could be left off for a decent card. The purpose of the card initially was a star engine that sacrificed its own numbers to increase attack level... but in practise the way they're used is to pump up star count and then spam these out for huge attack. So just giving them a normal attack is probably the best. But I'll reflect on it.

[TricMagic]

Could just make them 1/1 and give a star on going to the discard pile. Or put a restriction that they can't attack directly. (Since normally only the lamb goes on crusades.) The latter let's them keep their thing, but not instant-killing players. At a certain point, 10 attack is no different from 20 when they only have 1 heart.

Major nerf for this token. It's still a blocker which gives a star on destruction, and as there are currently multiple ways of spamming them out, it's still a very good card. Just not a game-is-won-on-the-first-turn card.


As expected, this loses its natural immunity to attack damage, instead it spends a ring to be immune-- so dealing direct damage to a player or attacking cards without attack can allow it to accumulate rings, but otherwise it's as vulnerable as any other card. Still, a good card that I would readily field in an Agility deck.

[TricMagic]

The end of an era I suppose. May need a new breaker.

[notquitethere]

Tric, NQT and Failbird are all ready for the next combat phase: do either of you have a preference for who you fight next?

[TricMagic]

NQT, time to duel. (Thoughprobobly not today.)

[notquitethere]

OK, we will fight in Battlefield 2. Could someone else do the coin flip? I call heads.

When you're ready, submit a deck to another player to check that it's all good to go, and I will do the same.

[TricMagic]

Not entirely sure why the numbers have been nerfed so heavily though. They don't even have an 1 attack or Haste. I'll need to outsource.

[notquitethere]

They're now more equivalent to Release the Lifeboats- a cheap blocker and ritual/graveyard fodder that gives stars. You can easily get a couple out a turn on average. Still a very good card considering the support they have, I don't think I was too harsh.

--

I think I've got a fun deck idea, though who knows whether it'll actually be effective. I've sent them to Unraveller.

[Failbird105]

Arguably they're even better than the lifeboats since you get stars from all of them instead of just a few=. Not to mention you've also got multiple ways to play one or more of them for 0 stars total compared to the lifeboats which we only get 4 of for a whole star. They kinda can't be all that powerful when you can get them in bulk from 0-star cards.

If the only source of Sacrificial Numbers was cards that costed stars, I'd say your complaint was valid, but as that's not the case I feel like it's fair to make them fairly weak.
