I disagree with this idea. Rather than solving a problem that might not even exist, we should focus more on creating problems that the opponent would need to address.

[Kashyyk]

The Anti-Waifu stuff? Probably not worth the risk no.

But Sticky Rad Generators are definitely a thing that exists, and they'll at least have the 0-Cost Generics if not other Stickies that we would want to delete.

[Supernerd]

There's a lot of things we may need or want to do, but only two cards per turn. I would recommend making cards that are highly versatile, combining multiple ideas and being usable for many things.

[Kashyyk]

There's only so much versatility we can give a Card before it's too impotent or costly to be worth using. Otherwise we could move to thr extreme and just design a dozen variations of the "Do Anything" Card.

Nothing else we have suggested yet can touch Stickies, and the Generic can only remove cheap ones. Those high Cost Stickies will likely have seriously detrimental effects, and we need a way to get rid of them.

[Jerick]

Uncommon isn't actually a rarity. There's Common, at 6 per deck, Rare, at 3 per deck, and Unique, at 1 per deck.

You are correct, let me fix that.

There's a lot of things we may need or want to do, but only two cards per turn. I would recommend making cards that are highly versatile, combining multiple ideas and being usable for many things.

If you're talking about cards like Engines of Infernal Fury then I have to admit I'm wary of them. If we combine multiple full-strength cards into one versatile one it'll be heavily nerfed if we chose it as a proposal. I can pretty much guarantee it. Each card only has so much potential and those versatile, combination things need to share that potential to an extent. More focused cards can be stronger. Many of the tokens in those combo cards you've proposed would be perfectly fine and even rather good cards on their own. Better to have a strong card with lots of possible uses than a card that plays several nerfed and weak cards.

Yes we need some removal. I don't foresee many decks being made without stickies.

Versatility is its own strength, and therefore costly.

Some more effective means of banishing Stickies would be a good idea, yeah.

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

Probably needs to be adjusted to avoid being overpowered - since as written, putting up a Naval critter would prevent all non-Naval critters from ever being able to attack directly.

Edit: I checked the rules, and it looks like I was wrong, the rules do explicitly state that a critter must be able to be attacked by an attacking critter in order to prevent it from attacking directly. Still, the below edit is good for clarity.

Naval critters may only attack or be attacked by other critters with Naval. Naval critters do not prevent non-Naval critters from attacking players directly.

Name: Eminent Domain
Cost: 3 Rads
Image: nil, this is an incomplete proposal
Type: Trick
Color: Red
Effect: Destroy a Sticky your opponent controls and search your deck for an Engine or Station card, then place it on top of your deck. Both of these effects must be valid in order for playing this card to be valid. Your opponent may draw two cards at the start of their next turn.
Flavor text: It can't be unjust if due compensation is given.
Strength-vitality: N/A
Rarity: Rare

An upside to the nature of this game (as opposed to a traditional card game made by professionals) is that you can be a bit looser about how you word things. Like, yeah, it doesn't hurt to be more precise, but I understood the intention of the original wording, which is the most important thing.

Name: Eminent Domain
Cost: 3 Rads
Effect: Destroy a Sticky your opponent controls and search your deck for an Engine or Station card, then place it on top of your deck. Both of these effects must be valid in order for playing this card to be valid. Your opponent may draw two cards at the start of their next turn.

While unrestricted Sticky destruction is potent, and being able to search up cards is too, this would get a significant buff from me. I'd probably reduce or remove entirely the opponent's card-drawing.
E: (Thought about it a bit more, I wouldn't remove the card drawing entirely, just reduce it. Destroy+search for 3 is too much, it does need a downside)

[FallacyofUrist]

Would that mean that the same effect would be valid at a lower cost, maybe 1 or 2 Rads? I can't see it working for 0 Rads, though.

[NUKE9.13]

Oh, yeah, no, it would never fly for 0. If I was only changing the cost, I'd probably go with 2.
Another note, if it retained the giving-opponent-cards thing, it might deserve to be partially or totally Pink. Mechanically, Pink is far more likely to offer that sort of a consolation prize.

[FallacyofUrist]

So something like...

Name: Eminent Domain
Cost: 2 Rads
Image:
Type: Trick
Color: Red / Pink
Effect: Destroy a Sticky your opponent controls and search your deck for a Locomotive or Station card, then place it on top of your deck. Both of these effects must be valid in order for playing this card to be valid. Your opponent may choose to draw 2 extra cards at the start of their next turn.
Flavor text: It can't be unjust if due compensation is given.
Strength-vitality: N/A
Rarity: Rare

I made it 'may choose to draw' so the opponent can choose not to draw if that would be more advantageous for them.

Such as in a deck-out scenario.

Such as in a deck-out scenario.

Note that getting decked isn't an automatic loss:

Alternatively, to prevent battles becoming an endless stalemate, if both players have no more cards in their deck, then the player with the highest Player Vitality wins (if that is tied, it's a draw).

...of course, if you have a card that can insert more cards into your deck, but they aren't able to overcome some sort of renewable defence on the other side, a game could technically still wind up an endless stalemate... but I'll deal with that incredibly unlikely event when/if it happens (by manually declaring a draw, and then probably change the cards to patch that specific scenario out).

E:(For reference, the reason one player being decked isn't a loss is because I don't want to have to balance the milling potential of cards if I can help it.)

[FallacyofUrist]

E:(For reference, the reason one player being decked isn't a loss is because I don't want to have to balance the milling potential of cards if I can help it.)

Yeah, but if a player runs out of cards in their deck, even if they don't automatically lose, they're in for a rough time anyways.

Of course, since there's no maximum hand size, a perfectly reasonable strategy is drawing your entire deck, then just having every option available to you.

Assuming you can draw your entire deck, of course.

I have decided to drop out of this game, so don't wait for any votes from me.

Have we not received Nuke's approval on the last batch of cards or did I merely miss it?
