Played that system with my girlfriend last night. She said she had fun with the basic cards, but was worried about complexity. I think I agree. The way I have envisioned the game is a Best of 5 with quick deck iterations between games. Anything that slows things down (e.g. turn by turn combat)...

I printed some cards out and playtested against myself. Which isn't ideal, and I'm tired from work, but.... I don't know that it really added a lot, maybe lightweight combat allows you to dedicate mental resources elsewhere. Maybe combat is supposed to be easy and sequencing difficult. I'll...

Interesting. This seems pretty close to the style I had in mind, with a few changes. I was already working with a "blocking" ability word, but was looking for some way to avoid or reduce the "lambs to the slaughter" system Hearthstone has when you play creatures into your opponent's board...

Thoughts: I really don't like how Magic's combat system leads to board clogs. When running cube nights, the most miserable I saw players was when two high-value, low removal decks ran into each other. Both players staring, pained, at the board trying to figure out if there were any profitable...

Yeah, I started playing Faeria a couple weeks ago. It's made here in Belgium, which is pretty cool. It more or less has Hearthstone's combat system, with spatial limitations (most creatures can only attack creatures they are adjacent to, damage is permanent, Taunt is a passive ability).

I may begin posting here again soon. I've gone though about 5 completely different prototypes of games made in varying degrees of "from scratch". At the moment I have one which is pretty fun to play, but maybe lacks originality. Currently lies somewhere between Magic and Hearthstone, with Grid...

This is exactly cube related, but I am interested in discussing the fundamental combat systems in Magic-like games. For example. Hearthstone Restriction: Players only act on their own turn Attacking: One creature at a time, creatures or enemy can be targetted Defending: Taunt (passive...

Finally, the archetype is complete! Ajani's Pridemate

I think the biggest thing with Storm is that is had to be designed for Constructed and Limited and it's hard to tune the cards to be reasonable in one and balanced in the other. For what it's worth I think Hearthstone has a pretty good take on the Storm mechanic. (Combo) Personal opinion is...

What cards are your favorite closers? Most fun to win the game with? Or make you happy because you had to satisfy some deckbuilding requirements to get them to work? Make it rain card images.

Can confirm, I am not Mad P. Unfortunately.

I really like the idea that in-game decisions can affect your future deck. What if you had a spell that you could cast for a regular effect, or trash it forever to get it's enhanced effect once. Your future deck would (likely) be weaker, but you give yourself a better chance of winning THIS game.

Uh, I was thinking more along the lines of, the winner gets 3 to pick from (pick 1) and the loser gets 2 (pick 1). It's probably not that needed though. As I think about it, it seems best for the post-game actions be winner-neutral. Maybe what is best is for there to be two grids after each...

Yeah, I was thinking first to 3 wins. The other idea I was playing with would be other treasure cards. Like maybe for each round there are 5, and the winning player gets to select from 3 and the losing player from 2. And the losing player selects first from the grid?

So I've been prototyping a bunch of different card games that use Grid Drafting, all of them failures so far, and the last play session made it abundantly clear: !!!! You can't have somebody draft a deck for a game they've never played before. !!! It's obvious in retrospect, but I kept...

I have about 250 Full Art Zendikar lands a friend gave me. Also a couple Unhinged lands mixed into the box.

What a good term for this concept.

I tried Ghostly Prison once and it wasn't all that fun. I think there are interesting concepts, but for me I always felt the interactivity can be hard to get correct. I'd be interested in seeing a different iteration in action though.

**stacks triggers hopefully correctly** Take 14?

Vial Smasher the Fierce Fireblast On your upkeep... take 10.
