[Vuurjopi]

Thank you for your submissions! The CDC is now closed. I'll try to have the results tomorrow.

The Results

Prince of Lies

Name: Altar of the Doomed
Faction/Purity: Sleepers of Avarrach or Exiles
Type: Location
Rarity: Epic
Cost: 6
Rules Text:
Any non-Unique Demon and Undead Character you control cannot be affected by non-targeting effects of cards other than itself.
Exhaust, sacrifice a Character you control: Target Character loses all text and becomes exhausted this turn. The first time that the targeted Character dies, it moves to your Support Zone, gaining Infect and Consume 2.

Flavor Text:
A small surviving portion of a lavishly-decorated cathedral.
The space for the altar seemed to have been completely obliterated by someone's... or something's inhuman rampage. The area now sporting only some few pieces of ripped-up fabric and rotting wooden furniture with numerous eerie symbols in red paint, it reeked of decay and corruption more than ever.
Hearing a strange dissonant chorus of groaning, moaning, hissing and sneering, the men of the rescue unit faltered in their footsteps when they turned to meet the sight of a seemingly infinite number of shambling corpses and malformed humanoid creatures steadily marching towards them.
Frozen in fear and disbelief at the unheard alliance, they could only watch in muted horror as they were devoured by the undead and the demons alike.

I feel you, the worst thing that can happen to a horde of zombies is a calamity. I love the flavor by the way! As for the design: I like the idea, (Imagine what a coyle assimilator could do with this location standing) but I think this card would be a better idea for double or triple purity.
 

Hiding

Yana, Life Merchant
1p OoS
5 cost
13 morale
Unique Character- Angel

Vigilance

Whenever a character you control dies, it gains +3/+1 permanently.

When Yana, Life Merchant kills a character, return the character closest to the bottom of your graveyard to play.

Pay 3: Yana, Life Merchant kills target character you control. This can only be used if Yana, Life Merchant is deployed.

5/10


Damn.. with the vigilance this card will be the nightmare for all FD players. I love it! As you said: this card is a more risky version of awaken. You might get a nice buffed up card, you might get a 3/2 cannon fodder. As most likely the weaker cards (from the early game) are in the bottom of your graveyard. The 13 morale is very high however for a character with vigilance. And morale is actually a big thread for the sleepers.

Number 11

Pain Embodied
1 purity CoV - Common
0 cost
Ability

Kill a character you control and target an opponent character. The opponent character takes 1.5X damage (rounded up) where X is the morale cost of the killed character you control.


A bit like splat, but with morale. Not as strong as splat in terms of damage, but it is a zero cost ability. A lot of the CoV ability combo decks would be very happy for a zero cost ability. They have to kill a character though, so you don't make it too easy for them. Nice!

Masc

Name: The Drone Workshop
Faction/Purity: 3 GI
Type: Location
Rarity: Rare
Cost: 3
Rules Text: Sacrifice a deployed artificial character, exhaust: every unending drone you control gains +1/+1

Flavor Text: Still not good enough


Nice! Cheap, easy and makes the unending drones a bit more viable. It's always a good thing when seemingly underpowered cards get a sudden advantage. The 3p might make the card unreachable for the players playing the unending drones decks though.

ToxicShadow

The Avalanche
Purity: 2Ex
Cost: 1
Morale: 2
Type: Unlimited Character - Demon
Rarity: Common
Stats: 3/3

Consume 3

When you deploy the Avalanche, sacrifice all other deployed characters you control with the same name as this one. The Avalanche gains the sacrificed character's power and remaining health, and an additional +1/+1.

"There is always a bigger demon."

XD I lolled when I read this card for the first time. I'm not sure if the guys in ranked will appreciate this card. But I know the trollers in Normal will.

VefomeT

Name: Meat Grinder Cannon
Purity: 1 SoA or 1 GI
Cost: 3
Morale: 0
Type: Artifact
Rarity: Unommon
Stats: -
Rule text:

Pay 4, sacrifice an Undead character you control - deal X damage, spread beetween all enemy characters on the battlefield, they become poisoned, taking X damage each turn, where X is the amount of health of the sacrificed character.

Pay 4, sacrifice an Artificial character you control, choose 3 enemy characters on the battlefield - deal X damage, spread evenly beetween those characters, where X double of the sacrificed character's attack.

Pay 4, sacrifice an Artificial Undead character - Exhaust target character, that enemy controls for 2 turns. It loses -2/-0.

Fun idea, this card gives GI and SoA access to some stronger means of high cost removal (or actually almost every deck because of the dual faction). It would be possible to get Omnitron now while playing a lot more controll-y

Wayfinder1026

Name: Summon Cresil's Helper
Cost: 0
Purity: 2 1/2 Exile (card must be used with either 3 purity exiles or 2 exile and 1 dual exile purity)
Unlimited Spell
Rarity: Epic

Remove 2 character cards from every players graveyard: a 1/1 character named Cresil's Helper that cannot be destroyed falls into play. Cresil's Helper deals 10 damage to every player every turn.

"21/2 exile" X'D. I see the idea of this card: Just try to end the game when you're ahead. But this card doesn't meet the requirements for this CDC. removing cards from the graveyard is not the same as sacrificing or killing your own deployed cards.

MSchildorfer

Name: Exemplar Execution
Faction/Purity: 1 FD and 1 CoV
Type: Ability
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost: 3
Rules Text:
Sacrifice target deployed Character you contol
All Creatures in your hand gain Charge and Attack equal to the sacrificed Characters Cost
All deployed Creatures you control move to the Assault Zone and gain Attack equal to the sacrificed Characters Cost
Flavor Text: "Nothing like a little 'warning' to ignite a vicious fire in the peoples' hearts"

Love the flavor. This idea is also really challenging. As a FD player, you want as many characters in play as you can. Sacrificing is a huge cost. But the advantages you give with this card are really great. The only complaint I have is the purity: I think this is a 2p FD or maybe 3p FD, I also don't think the CoV should have access to a card like this About the purity: better, maybe FD CoV is getting a bit too much love. Maybe I'm being too picky.

mew28

Name: Equivalent Exchange
Faction/Purity:Factionless
Type: Spell
Rarity:Legendary
Cost:10
Rules Text: Sacrifice all selected targeted friendly characters.  Gain a X/Y character where X equals the total power and the combined total cost of all sacrificed characters  and Y equals the combined maximum health plus the combined total cost of all sacrificed characters.
This character gains all keywords of of the sacrificed characters.
Flavor Text: Everything that is taken must also be returned in full.

Wow, all or nothing I guess. Note that you have to target characters to sacrifice,
 so you can't get a untouchable keyword. This is actually a big thing to note, because your huge monster can be humbled or exhausted or (if you didn't sacrifice a 'indestructible') death rayed.
 I think this card is usable in very rare occasions.

0100161

Name: Only Lovers Left Alive
Faction/Purity: Sleepers of Avarrach/2
Type: Ability
Rarity: Rare
Cost: 2
Rules Text: As an additional cost to play Only Lovers Left Alive, sacrifice 2 deployed Unique Characters you control. If those Characters are in the Graveyard for 2 consecutive turns, they are raised to the Support Zone at the end of the turn.
Flavor Text: I just feel like all the sand is at the bottom of the hour glass or something.

Ehm, I can't really see why you'd want to play this card. It seems nice for the last sleeper. But nowhere on this card it says that the sacrificed cards gain this as rules text. So you sacrifice them ones, then they reanimate ones after 2 turns. The're is no advantage unless the character has some sick graveyard mechanics. Hekheem would be nice I guess. But a very limited amount of cards would profit from this.

NatoPotato

Feed the Masses
 
Ability
Cost 1

Sacrifice a deployed non-artificial non-spirit character you control and choose X non-artificial non-spirit characters where X is the cost of the sacrificed character, the chosen characters get +1/+1 and heal 1 damage.
(You may choose the same unit more than once.)



Basically just lets you use consume on non-consume characters without needing them to kill things.

Simple, easy, cheap and hella strong. Lov it! When you've had a rough combat encounter and you expect Yuanchi to puffy up all your now 4 health demons, feed them! It's great!

ORISOLVE

Name: Not The Calamity
Faction/Purity: Factionless
Type: Artifact
Rarity: Epic
Cost: 10
Rules Text: Sacrifice Silfurstar, The Fallen Crusader. All deployed characters you control that die as a result of combat damage while attacking, will raise from the graveyard next turn and kill the character that killed them. If this card is in play, the ability "The Calamity" will have no effect.
Flavor Text: What Calamity?

puffy the calamity! Nice to make this card so depend of a specific other card. This card is exactly what any FD player wants. You honor your banner well.
