I can do it.

[FallacyofUrist]

Field Hospital is shockingly good defensively, since it'll instantly repair any of our Critters that are attacked.

Since it's using a secondary resource, 'Medicine', it'd make sense for it to be pink / yellow, but I can't appeal that this turn since I already used my appeal.

Let's take a look at our cards overall, ignoring the Grey starter cards.

0-cost cards: Tea Plantation, Mountain, Factory
1-cost cards: Polluted Wasteland
2-cost cards: Modern Reactor, Field Hospital
4-cost cards: Ushibo

Critters: Ushibo
Stickies: Tea Plantation, Mountain, Polluted Wasteland, Factory, Modern Reactor, Field Hospital
Tricks:

Hm.

Uh-oh. Don't like that.

Problem A: we only have one custom Critter, the Ushibo, and it's a 4-cost. While the Mountain creates token Critters, they're weaker than even the Generic Mooks, and get eaten by the Wasteland if we use it. Which may or may not be desirable, but still leaves us with only one real Critter.

Problem B: we have no custom Tricks.

Problem C: we have no lategame other than buffing up an Ushibo and praying it won't die to whatever their trump cards are.

We can't wholly deal with the consequences of our actions in just 3 card designs, but we can at least mitigate it.

I propose that we make one 0-cost green Critter, one high-cost Critter to serve as a true boss monster (7 or higher Rads cost and some absurd effects), and one high or medium-cost Trick.

ignoring the Grey starter cards.

Unless we make a replacement, we should put 6 Modest Demolitions in the deck.

Speaking of,

Cost: 1 Rads

Type: Trick
Color: Yellow
Effect: Destroy target sticky
Flavor text: Nothing a few crates of TNT won't fix

Another deletion card to be considered. A little more generically targeted, and costly, but I think also more likely to be accepted by the GM.

Type: Trick

And everyone's favorite:

Nope, it's hard against the rules to play cards or manually use effects during your opponent's turn.

[NUKE9.13]

Since it's using a secondary resource, 'Medicine', it'd make sense for it to be pink / yellow, but I can't appeal that this turn since I already used my appeal.

If you made a second card that could add more Medicine to a card, or move it around, or burn it for some other benefit- that might be Yellow. Just having a fancy name for keeping track of an effect within a single card doesn't make it Yellow.

And everyone's favorite:

Nope, it's hard against the rules to play cards or manually use effects during your opponent's turn.

Indeed. You can make a Counterspell effect, but it would have to trigger automatically with the opposing player able to resolve it themselves*. Otherwise they'd have to check in with you every time they played a card. In a game that is played live, that's not a huge hassle. However, rather than require players to wrangle schedules in order to be present at the same time, this game is designed for maximum Play-By-Post efficiency.

*Jerick actually proposed something along those lines a while ago:

Name: Disruptive Echo
Type: Sticky
Effects: If your opponent plays a trick they must discard it without activating its effects and then disruptive echo is also destroyed. (This destruction bypasses any and all effects that would prevent disruptive echos from being destroyed). If disruptive echo is in the discard pile you may pay 1 rad to add it back into your hand.

Name: Psychic Nexus
Cost: 8 Rads
Whenever a rad is generated place a counter on psychic nexus. Your opponent's cards cost additional rads in order to play equal to the number of counters on psychic nexus. [other stuff]

While 8 Rads can get you some very powerful effects, this could very easily lock the opposing player out of the game entirely- just a single counter when they have no Rads remaining, and it's game over. I can think of ways of making it work (for example, 'opponent can remove (some amount of) counters if they don't play a card during their turn'), but bear in mind that I will be very hesitant to allow cards that can become literally unbeatable without significant setup.

E: Feedback requested:

Name: Demolition
Cost: 1 Rads
Type: Trick
Color: Yellow
Effect: Destroy target sticky

A bit bland, but technically fine.

Name: Godzilla
Cost: 8 Rads
Type: Critter- Kaiju
Color: Green/Black
Effect:
This critter may not be the target of enemy tricks or stickies
When the controlling player gains a rad, this critter gains +10/+10
Trample
Strength-Vitality: 100-50

If this creature deals more damage to a critter than that critters vitality it may attack another time, with it's strength reduced by the amount of that critters vitality until end of turn.

Would probably get buffed a bit in the Vitality department- 8 Rads is a lot, having it die to a few attacks would be rather anticlimactic.

Yeah that's plenty fair. I could maybe make it work by having the enemy be able to remove counters by discarding cards or something. But I'm not that bothered, it's too much of an anti-fun card at its core. I was mostly just brainstorming massive cards since we've got so much rad generation.
