Results:Merlinix – Shockwave Demon is a semi-balanced card compared to Shockwave Giant. The 10 damage effect really suits the DoD overcharge requirement. This card is overboard and hurts the intelligent elements of the game. It could practically replace The Calamity by turn 8, with very few counters that include Martyr Golem, Cassial, and Noble Protector. Also with a 2 Purity Exile 1 DoD type of deck, this type of poor AOE is already unwelcomed.
ecliptix – Survival of the Fittest seems like a very niche card. There are very few non-unique deployed characters which cost 1 or less. For a cost that high, I’m unsure that this card would be viable against most decks or in the meta. I do see the potential in this card if made stronger, but I do not like cards that are simply play and kill. In my opinion, play and kill type cards are worse than RNG; I prefer cards which embrace the simultaneous turns and mind games that Infinity Wars has to offer such as Death Ray.
drewmb10 – Imperial Tomb seems like a card that should be in the game with all these overcharge effects showing up into the game. I found your choice of purities for this card intriguing. However, I did find it strange that you decided to make the card into a location instead of an artifact when SOA and DoD lack strong artifacts while almost all their locations are irreplaceable.
NatoPotato – Kung Ji, Advanced Strategist is a very well designed. It embraces the effects of the Kung Ji name while at the same time utilizing the unique combination of the DoD/Genesis purities. If this card existed I don’t see how anyone could not run this card in their command zone with a DoD/Genesis purity deck. Hands down one of the best card designs I have ever seen. Great job.
Nephilim – Armory Peddler is an interesting attack buff card. I don’t see the reason of forcing a DoD overcharge condition other than meeting the conditions of this Card Design Challenge. I could see this card simply existing as a Flame Dawn card by itself.
Wayfinder1026 – Mouth of the Beast is an extremely strong card. Especially with the effect working from the command zone and working with cards such as Master of Demons. I would not enjoy this card being in the meta. I feel like there should be more of a downside to this card since it is a different variation of Xi, Ascended.
Number11 – Tocol, Champion of Agreement is an amazing card. It suits the overall theme of the Overseers “Negation”. I’ve always wondered if there could be a better use for an interaction such as the Intervention card and this is it. The way you managed to include a suitable Warpath overcharge element into the card was great. You truly understand the needs of an Overseers player by making this card cost 2 resources. Great job.
Hiding – Crossroads Marauder is the type of card that should definitely be in the Rebellion set. It gives the player options without limiting their deckbuilding command zone purities. The overall idea of the card is genius, however I feel like it requires slight adjustments. Since this is a Flame Dawn card in general, I’d prefer the card to be slightly FD viable without overcharge but at the same time, I would like the DoD overcharge to move the card defensively while the WP overcharge moves the card towards a strong beast type heavy hitter with/without unstoppable below Adaptive Hulker. The balancing with this type of card is quite tough, but I do see potential.
xMatanX122 – Beast of Ascension would be an interesting addition to the Rebellion set. I do wonder how the Overseers and Warpath Beasts could get along. Strange overcharge fodder, but works well with the recruit aspects of Warpath and the Search for the Key card in the Overseers. I could definitely see this card in the Rebellion set.
ToxicShadow – Arcane Demonic Battery is a card that I could see the CoV using. I would like to see a variation of this card introduced into the game. I feel like forcing the Exile overcharge mechanic was unnecessary and by itself could be a completely separate card. I would like to see this card have an overcharge effect though. Instead of being a completely niche card that works only with overcharge cards, it would have an overcharge itself and become a demon when you need it to finish off your opponent’s health or defend from flyers. We all know CoV are lacking in the characters department and this card could really help.
Quangtit01 – Xiix, the Mischievous’s Overseers overcharge mechanic seems more like a Star Trek effect than an Overseers one, so … “No.” I don’t see the Overseers as the type of people stealing cards from opponents even with an Exile discard element. Good effort.
SweaterKittens – Purifier Squad, although it fits the theme quite well, I don’t see this card being viable in meta at all. This type of card already exists in the Factionless Spec Ops, etc. A lot of adjustments need to be made for this type of card to be viable. In my opinion, they should be slightly below curve, but when faced against their strengths, they should be above curve, but not so above curve that the card becomes overpowered in sideboards. I would hate to see a 3 cost card 7/7, but when it faces a Warpath card it becomes a 20/20. You by far had the best submission format out of everyone else. People should follow your lead in submission formats for these Card Design Challenges.
Mew28 – Dragon Knight is such a cool name for a card and I would hate for it to have such a lame effect similar to Armored Landcrawler. I feel like the card deserves better, but good effort.
Grinnin_Gin – Against All Tyrants is a viable card that I would love to see in the Rebellion set. It is a standard card, but I do see necessary adjustments. For example I feel like giving the card both Vigilance AND Reach is way too powerful for its current 3 cost. Even at “awkward” purities it does not justify such insane stats for this card. A Flame Dawn deck that runs Klore and Kali would be completely destroyed by a turn 3 14/16. I feel it is adamant that this card is kept at 3 resources as 3 drops are what DoD and Warpath need the most. I would like to see a variation of this card in the Rebellion set, but not in its current state.
