Welcome to Team 2! This first design phase you will be submitting cards and voting on 5 to make it onto the cardlist.

Spoiler: Game Rules (click to show/hide)

Design and Modify Phase
Initial turn:
Both teams will design and vote on five cards to be added to the game (ie. five team designs as below).

Further turns:
Both teams will get at least a selected design and 2 team designs; the team that lost the previous battle will get two selected designs instead as a consolation. The selected design(s) will be chosen by me from among suggested cards, and will be chosen from a different player’s set of suggested cards than the team design and other selected designs if able. The team design will be two cards from among suggested cards with the most votes. Cards suggested on previous phases can always be voted on and can be reposted to be added to the pool of cards available for the selected design. These cards will be revealed when they are played in the battle phase, but will only be available to use by their designing team until the next round, when (if they were played, revealed, discarded, or otherwise shown to the other players) they will be added to the global cardlist. Players may also submit any number of appeals to existing cards. If I agree the card would be better changed, I will change it.

Deckbuilding
Decks will consist of 40 cards, with no more than 4 copies of a common, 2 of a rare, or 1 of a unique. You may use any created cards except cards not yet revealed by the opposing team.

Battle Phase
After the Design and Modify Phase, players will sign up to battle the other team. Battles will take place on Discord. Three games will be played between 3 pairs of players, and the team that wins the most games wins a point. If there are not enough volunteers, a player may play two games, or the GM may play a game.

Each player starts a battle with 5 cards in their hand and 20 life. The starting player is determined randomly. The non-starting player starts with one universal mana (can be used as any type). Players may mulligan (shuffle their hand into their deck and redraw it) once.
At the start of each player’s turn, they draw a card.
During each player’s turn, they may play cards, attack with summons, and activate abilities of cards.
A player may only play one card per turn (cards with the quickplay keyword ignore this restriction). To play a card, you must pay mana equal to the cost of the card of the type of the card. For multi-type cards, you may use either type of mana in any combination. Summon, item, and gem cards are placed onto the board. Spell cards have their text resolved and are then discarded.
A player may attack their opponent’s summons. Summons can only attack once per turn and cannot attack on the turn they are played. Fighting summons deal damage equal to their strength to the other summon’s health. If the opponent controls no summons, the player’s summons can attack them directly, dealing damage equal to their strength to that player’s life.
Changes to cards are permanent unless the card leaves the board (then it is reset to its base state), or otherwise stated. This includes damage to health.
At the end of a player’s turn (which may be whenever they choose to end it), they should write down the board state so their opponent can easily keep track. Except for your hand (and if otherwise stated by cards), information you know should also be available to your opponent.
When multiple triggers would resolve at once, the active player's cards have their triggers resolve first. The active player decides the order of both groups of triggers. Card destruction is only resolved after every triggered ability is resolved.
Players cannot act at all on their opponent’s turns.
The game ends when a player is reduced to 0 life. (The player with more than 0 life wins). Draws will be resolved by replay if necessary.

Cards
Cards have a number of stats:
Name: the name of the card.
Cost: the mana cost of the spell.
Type: the magical type of the card (may have multiple types). Mana of this type must be spent to cast this spell. Typeless cards may have mana of any type spent.
Class: summon, gem, item, or spell. Summons are fighting cards, gems generate mana, items are miscellaneous cards that stay on the board, and spells have a one time effect.
Subclass: a group of which the card is a part.
Rarity: common, rare, or unique. How many copies of this card can be in a deck; 4, 2, or 1 respectively.
Effect: any unique effects or abilities this card has.
Strength/Health: if this card is a summon, the strength and health of the card.

[FallacyofUrist]

Over on the Discord, we have a preliminary agreement that we'll design two cards for Might, two cards for Market, and one card for Eldritch, and Team 1 will design two cards for Anime, two cards for Swarm, and one card for Eldritch.

Basically, the intention is to make sure each flavor of magic has fair representation before further turns begin. After that, it's anyone's game.

Here's a few initial card submissions. Mostly focused on simple stuff - more a foundation, as opposed to legendary complex cards.

Name: Logging Camp
Cost: 1
Type: Market
Class: Item
Subclass: Building
Rarity: Common
Effect: At the start of each of your turns, gain 1 Wood token (Item). It has no effect. Once per turn, you may sacrifice 2 Wood tokens to draw 1 card.
Strength/Health: N/A.

Name: Mercenary Soldier
Cost: 1
Type: Market
Class: Summon
Subclass: Soldier
Rarity: Common
Effect: When you play this card, you may sacrifice a Gold card to create a token copy of it. The copy has no effect.
Strength/Health: 2 / 2.

Name: Enraged Assault
Cost: 4
Type: Might
Class: Spell
Subclass:
Rarity: Uncommon
Effect: All your summons gain +2 Strength for the rest of the turn, then immediately attack targets of your choosing. (This does not use up their standard attack.)
Strength/Health: N/A.

Name: Bloody Duelist
Cost: 2
Type: Might
Class: Summon
Subclass: Soldier
Rarity: Common
Effect: If an opponent's summon has been destroyed this turn, this card has quickplay and may attack immediately when played.
Strength/Health: 3/2

Name: Mists of Corrosion
Cost: 1
Type: Eldritch
Class: Item
Subclass:
Rarity: Common
Effect: When an opponent's summon attacks, it takes 1 damage. When this card is destroyed, all your opponent's summons take 1 damage.
Strength/Health: N/A.

Y'know, basic stuff. Cheap stuff.

The Mercenary Soldier, though I like the concept of it, feels hella overcosted. It costs 1 Mana, has below 0 Cost stats, and its ability requires you to sacrifice a Mana Generator to activate, which is more expensive than just spending a Mana for said effect. So it's a minimum investment of two turns, one Mana, and the loss of a Mana source, for less value than you would have gotten by just playing one Warrior Recruit each of those turns. I think if you made it a 0 Cost it'd at least be on-curve.

I also don't think Quickplay and Haste, especially with a conditional effect added, are enough to eat two Mana worth of stats off of a card either, so you could probably afford to make Bloody Duelist a 4/3 at least for that kind of cost.


Only somewhat related but, to be honest: I think the Market color needs extra ways to gain Mana before anything else, since currently Gold is the primary way to gain Market Mana and if you activate the secondary effect you lose said Gold.

Name: Mana Exchange
Cost: 0(Though maybe 1 is better? It is a Rare though...)
Type: Market
Image:

Class: Item
Subclass: Building
Rarity: Rare
Effect: At the start of each players turn, they may exchange up to [?] non-Market Mana for Market Mana, or up to [?] Market Mana into another Type of Mana. If there are multiple Mana Exchanges in play, their effect stacks.
Strength/Health: N/A.

Now this here is a card that I feel both perfectly fits the Market theme of exchanging resources, and the weakness of letting your opponent benefit. It also helps deal with the issue of potentially running out of Gold.

Name: Binding Tendrils
Cost: ?
Type: Eldritch
Image:

Class: Item
Subclass: Ritual
Rarity: Common
Effect: The first enemy Summon to attack each turn becomes unable to act on its owners next turn.
This effect cannot trigger two turns in a row.
Strength/Health: N/A.

This card is a way to force a bit more strategy out of our opponents action order. If they attack with their biggest creature first, say to clear out a stronger threat for their weaklings, they can't use said big creature next turn.

[FallacyofUrist]

Right, let's see if I can nail the right power-level for my next submissions.

Name: Mercenary Encampment
Cost: 0
Type: Market
Class: Item
Subclass: Building
Rarity: Rare
Effect: Once per turn, you may pay 1 Market mana to create a 2/2 Mercenary token (Summon, Soldier). (Cooldown 1 turn.)
Strength/Health: N/A.

Name: Bureaucratic Entanglement
Cost: 0
Type: Market
Class: Spell
Subclass:
Rarity: Common
Effect:
-Target summon your opponent controls gains 'You must pay 1 Market mana when this summon attacks. If you cannot, it does not attack.'
-Your opponent adds a copy of this card to their hand, without this effect.
Strength/Health: N/A.

Name: Axe Knight
Cost: 2
Type: Might
Class: Summon
Subclass: Soldier
Rarity: Common
Effect: While this summon is the only Might summon you control, it gains +2/+2.
Strength/Health: 3/3.

Name: Mindrot
Cost: 1
Type: Eldritch
Class: Spell
Subclass:
Rarity: Unique
Effect: Deal 3 damage to any summon. If the summon is destroyed, discard all copies of the summon from either player's hands and deck.
Strength/Health: N/A.

[Rockeater]

The two market cards feel like they are more of a mix of market and other stuff, encampment as a swarm synergy and the entanglement eldritch, they strength seems reasonable though

Effect: Destroy a gem you own,make 3 mana of any color combination

A few more basic designs. Well, basic-ish.

Class: Summon
Subclass:

Name: Labor Camp
Cost: 1
Type: Market
Class: Item
Subclass: Building
Rarity: Rare
Effect: Instead of playing this card's mana cost you may select one Summon you control and exhaust it. Once per turn, you may choose a summon you control and exhaust it, then gain 1 Market mana.
Strength/Health: N/A.

Exhaust: The Summon cannot attack or use activated effects this turn.

Name: Sacrificial Charge
Cost: 0
Type: Might

[Failbird105]

Name: Unspeakable Thing
Cost: 2
Type: Eldritch
Image:

Class: Summon
Subclass: Horror
Rarity: Common
Effect: This card cannot be targeted directly unless it(and cards with similar effects) are the only applicable targets remaining.
Strength/Health: 4/4

A slightly meaty unit that is all but untouchable as long as it's not alone.

Name: Forbidden Knowledge
Cost: 0
Type: Eldritch
Image:

Class: Spell
Subclass: Curse
Rarity: Common
Effect: Shuffle 4 random Cursed Word Tokens into target player's deck.
Flavor Text: *Gasp* You can't just say that!

Subclass: Cursed Word
Rarity: Token
Effect: When you draw this card, choose a Summon you control that could attack this turn. That Summon can't attack this turn. Then Banish this card.
Strength/Health: N/A

I really want to play into the Cursed Words theme with Eldritch. Not for all Eldritch cards of course, but I want to get at least two or three more cards that play with the gimmick.

Name: Enraged Brute
Cost: 1(I'd prefer you raise the cost than lower the stats if it's currently undercosted)
Type: Might
Image:

Class: Summon
Subclass: Monster
Rarity: Common
Effect: This card attacks a random other Summon every turn if able. If there are no other Summons in play, it will automatically attack the enemy player.
Flavor Text: An excellent stealth operative, after all, there's nobody left to talk about it.
Strength/Health: 5/5

A nice big unit for cheap, provided you keep it alone.

Name: Heart Engine
Cost: 1

Class: Item
Sublass: Equipment
Rarity: Rare
Effect: Each time Equipped Summon declares an attack, it gains +3 Strength, but takes 1 Damage
Flavor Text: The burning heart of a hell-born warrior.
Strength/Health: N/A

This was my very first Equipment idea actually. Well, no second, but the other one I still don't have a good plan for yet.

[FallacyofUrist]

Some more synergistic basics.

Name: Mercenary Soldier
Cost: 0
Type: Market
Image:
Class: Summon
Subclass: Soldier
Rarity: Common
Effect: When you play this card, you may sacrifice 1 Coin token to create an effectless token copy of this card.
Strength/Health: 2/2.

Revised version of Mercenary Soldier. A bit stronger, I think, but you still need to get the Coin.

Name: Debt Collector
Cost: 0
Type: Market
Class: Summon
Subclass:
Rarity: Common
Effect: During your opponent's turn, they may activate this card's effect. If they do so, you gain a Coin token, but this card is banished until the end of your next turn.
Strength/Health: 4/2.

A dangerous attacker, but the opponent can choose to let it be a source of Coins for the user instead.

Name: Treasure Trove
Cost: 0
Type: Market
Class: Spell
Subclass:
Rarity: Common
Effect: Quickplay. Draw 1 card and gain 1 Coin token. You may only activate 1 Treasure Trove per turn.

An engine card.

Type: Might
Image:

Class: Summon
Subclass: Warrior
Rarity: Rare
Effect: This card can attack twice.
Flavor Text: The angrier he gets, the faster he goes.
Strength/Health: 4/6

This here is a card meant to synergize with Heart Engine. With the Engine, it can go from a 2/6 to a 5/5 to a 8/4 in one turn.

[FallacyofUrist]

Merchant House
Cost: 1
Type: Market
Image:
Class: Item
Subclass: Building
Rarity: Rare
Effect:

Mercenary Soldier (1): Fallacy
Merchant House (1): Fallacy
Forbidden Knowledge (1): Fallacy
Brutal Marauder (1): Fallacy
Enraged Brute (1): Fallacy

Since we're meant to be putting up 5 cards this turn, it's probably fair for each of us to place five votes, just spread out over 5 different card proposals.

[VermilionSkies]

Name: Hired Gun
Cost: 1
Type: Market
Class: Summon
Subclass: Mercenary
Rarity: Rare
Effect: Whenever you attack with this card, you may sacrifice one Coin token to allow it to attack again.
Strength/Health: 1/3.

I like the idea of Hired Gun actually, though I believe it's undercosted and needs a buff. I could be convinced to change my Mercenary Soldiers or Brutal Marauder votes but for now this is what I want.

[VermilionSkies]

Fixed, based off of advice from the discord.
