Official Appeal: A Certain Scientific Waifu

This is a 0-Rad card that can generate Rads twice as fast as a Modern Reactor. And we're not talking about some very unlikely scenario here, because the trigger (a card being destroyed) happens nearly every turn.

It has a real drawback because it deals 1 tick of damage to your own critters per turn, however we believe this is not nearly enough to compensate for the Rad acceleration the card offers. Having a Near Immortal Waifu on the table turns the drawback into a benefit because you gain more Rad.

Of note, ACSW is guaranteed to generate at least 2 rad because it activates when it is destroyed itself.
Spending a removal card on it, even a 0-rad one, is a bad trade because one side played a card and gained 2 Rad while the other side played a card and gained nothing.
Killing it with an attack means that the card deals 2 damage on top of gaining two rad.

In short, the Rad generation is extremely strong and it comes on top of a 20-10 body.

In my opinion the card would still be good if the Rad generation is reduced from 2 to 1 and the body reduced to 10/10. That still leaves it a 0-Rad card that can generate Rad as fast as a Modern Reactor. Perhaps a better alternative is if the body remains 20/10 but the Rad generation can only trigger during your own turn.

I'll start the voting.

Heard that we can pick 4 designs this round, which is a relief.

Number one, I still really want a wall.
Number two, Treason looks like a great tool to add to our arsenal.
Number three, I want to add a card that can be a win condition. Either the Rifle or Bombardment. My feeling is that the Rifle would synergize with our strategy best. This is hard to explain, but the gist of it that a direct damage card like Bombardment works best if you can reliably beat down the opponent in the first half of the match and then just need some way to finish them off. That is not how our deck works, especially not against Waifu aggression.

Number four, I want an extra generator to prevent dead hands. This could be the Ramshackle Generator, the Merchant Marine or the Bubble of Radiation. The Merchant Marine is pretty stylish, but could you please add a description of the Naval keyword to the text?

[a1s]

Naval critters may only attack and be attacked by other critters with Naval

[Quarque]

Can Naval critters attack face?

[a1s]

They can not. They also do not block.
(being naval is generally a drawback, though we are using it as an advantage here, because we're sneaky)

I guess I'll start then:

[Quarque]

Seriously, we need a good blocker. We're facing an aggro deck and the lack of early defense is what really kills us.

The hospital needs something worth healing. The hounds need something to protect it.

Voting on Wall of Slime, but Spawnling would work too.

(2) Lightning Rod: a1s, fallacy
(2) Treason: a1s, Quarque
(1) Merchant Marine: a1s

(1) Wall of Slime: Quarque
(1) Martini-Henry rifles: Quarque
(1) Fabrication Drone: Fallacy
(1) Chrome Metamorph: Fallacy
(1) Ramshackle Reactor: Fallacy

[Jerick]

It's a great sign that I have such trouble picking between options. But in the end, I settled for early meat shield slime wall (which we desperately need). Rifles, which go fantastically with our high str low vit creatures. Fabrication drone to help stop the deck from clogging itself and lets us be sure we'll get wasteland, mountains, tea plantation or whichever sticky we need for the combo we're going for. And finally ramshackle reactor for ramp

(2) Lightning Rod: a1s, fallacy
(2) Treason: a1s, Quarque
(1) Merchant Marine: a1s
(2) Bubble of Radiation: a1s, Quarque
(2) Wall of Slime: Quarque, Jerick
(2) Martini-Henry rifles: Quarque, Jerick
(2) Fabrication Drone: Fallacy, Jerick
(1) Chrome Metamorph: Fallacy
(2) Ramshackle Reactor: Fallacy, Jerick

[Quarque]

I would consider the fabrication drone if it could search for hospitals and modern reactors. Limiting it to 0/1-rad stickies makes it a poor choice. If the purpose is only to prevent being mana screwed, you're better off with a card that generates Rads directly.

[Quarque]

Changing the wall of slime design a little after feedback

Barbed Wire

Black common critter
20/40
0 Rad

Wall - can't attack

[Quarque]

Actually with how little value walls get we really should go with this. Crude and effective.
It would certainly make us less predictable to have at least 1 good basic critter in our arsenal.

Black Common Critter
2 Rad

Attack 40
Vitality 60
