[CDC] I'll Do It Later [CLOSED]

[Hiding]

So does this count as a delayed effect? It's not a count down timer but it is (technically) a delayed effect.

The delay should be set when its deployed rather than on activation of an ability.

so missions are not considered delayed? Like percentage complete based on a certain action.

[NatoPotato]

If the mission gained X% each turn then it would count.
I'm not talking about delays in general, just specifically the challenge, which is to make a card which uses a delay that starts when it's deployed.

It doesn't specifically have to be 'in X turns' or a counter though, for example the bomb bot could just gain +2/0 every turn without needing to be activated/paid and explodes at the start of the turn if it has more than X power. (sure technically you could combo with DOD and use pacify or balance to lower its power and 'reset' the delay, but with its effect less power is not particularly useful)

Type: Unique Mission
Rarity: Epic

When you deploy Danse Macabre, it has 2 Counters. At the end of each turn, it loses 1 Counter.

These characters become undead in addition to their own character type. X is the total number of counters Danse Macabre lost while being deployed.

Pay 2+Y, with Y being the number this ability has already been activated: Danse Macabre gains an additional counter. Any player may activate this ability, but only once per turn.

Neither player can inflict any form of damage to non-Human Characters, fortress or morale until the end of this turn.
After 3 turns, choose one of the following preemptive effects to activate:
-Send all cards in play to the graveyard

-Remove all cards in both graveyards from play
-Both players have their fortress health and unit morale divided equally between them

Think it would've been a little more interesting to play if you had to pick an option when you play it rather than after the 3 turns, but it's still pretty interesting with some decent versatility, not sure how I feel about 'unavoidable kill everything in play for 3 resources' though, I know it's like tome of the dead but that ignores command zone and can be destroyed, otherwise I like it.

Traitor- At the beginning of the combat phase, this character enters combat with the character in front of it and does not attack or block the opponent. If there is no character in front of it, it attacks its controller's fortress.

Host to Horrors

Ability

Target a deployed Character.

When the targeted character is killed, create a Spider, Octopus, and Worm character in that character's zone. These are Entangled.

At the end of the next turn, kill the targeted character.

Your opponent does not know which character you target.

Birth Spider
2p Exiles
3 cost
-4 morale
Character- Spider

Reach, Traitor

When Birth Spider deals combat damage to another character, that character gains an additional Poison 3.

At the end of each turn move this character to a random deployed zone you control.
At the beginning of each turn, move this character to a random position in its zone.

5/8

Birth Octopus
2p Exiles
3 cost
-4 morale
Character- Octopus

Traitor

When Birth Octopus deals combat damage to another character, that character becomes exhausted next turn.

At the end of each turn move this character to a random deployed zone you control.
At the beginning of each turn, move this character to a random position in its zone.

2/15

Birth Worm
2p Exiles
3 cost
-4 morale
Character- Worm

Traitor

This character cannot be killed by kill effects.

At the end of each turn move this character to a random deployed zone you control.
At the beginning of each turn, move this character to a random position in its zone.

12/5

I like the idea of spawning troublesome characters on your opponents side of the field especially with the way they move around rather than just being stuck in place like infiltration, spawning those 3 characters for 6 seems a little strong to me but then again I'm not a balance expert.

Name: New Recruit
Faction/Purity: FD
Type: Character Human
Rarity: Uncommon
Cost:1
Morale:1
Attack/Health:8/8
Rules Text: New Recruit can only attack or block after being deployed two turns

Pretty simple, cheap flame dawn unit that can be deployed early, I'm not sure if it can't move into the battlefield or just doesn't enter combat, if it's the latter then you could chuck it in and get some buffs on it while it's relatively safe, but I think generally it's the former, but it can still get effects in the support zone and count for sacullas.

Exhausted Soldier
2 purity FD - uncommon
1 cost
6 morale
Character - Human
6/6

When you deploy Exhausted Soldier, move him to the support zone and Exhaust him for X turns where X is the turn he was deployed at. (A counter shows how long the card is Exhausted)
Exhausted Soldier can not be moved by other cards.
Exhausted Soldier gains 0/+4 whenever he is buffed by a mission card.

Interesting effect, though wouldn't it basically become useless at later turns? Although I guess with flame dawn you'd want to have won by then anyway so that's not much of an issue, it's cool how it doesn't just play well with tactical retreat, it also specifically gets an extra buff from it.

Carrier of Corruptoin
1 Exiles
Character--Demon
Uncommon
1 cost
5/5
2 morale

When you deploy CARDNAME, target character becomes a demon in addition to its other subtypes. After two turns, that character loses all non-demon subtypes and gains +6/+6

Pretty simple but effective, a nice cheap tool for exiles to get more demon typing in, plus a nice buff down the line, I like the sub-type removal effect and how you can target enemy units, gives some interesting combo possibility if used in a splash.

Name: Defiant Wizard
Faction/Purity: 1x Cult of Verore, 1x Flame Dawn

Morale: 8
Attack/Health: 4/4
Rules Text: At the start of each turn, this card gains 1 age counter. At the beginning of combat, if this card has 3 age counters, destroy all characters in both players command zones.
Flavor Text: He always had a problem following orders.

The effect is cool as even though it can fairly easily be killed before its effect goes off it puts pressure on your opponent to spend resources to either deploy their commanders or take out your wizard, its also fairly cheap, though of course you have to deal with your own commanders.

Danse Macabre
Purity: 1CoV/1SoA
Cost: 3
Type: Unique Mission
Rarity: Epic

When you deploy Danse Macabre, it has 2 Counters. At the end of each turn, it loses 1 Counter.

At the start of your turn, if Danse Macabre has no counters left, sacrifice it and resurrect X characters from any graveyard that died while Danse Macabre was deployed. These characters become undead in addition to their own character type. X is the total number of counters Danse Macabre lost while being deployed.

Pay 2+Y, with Y being the number this ability has already been activated: Danse Macabre gains an additional counter. Any player may activate this ability, but only once per turn.

"In the cursed ruins of Veroria, damned souls gather for an eerie dance each night. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget."

This is really cool, it's a pretty useful effect and the self balancing activate cost is a good mechanic, I like how even the opponent can interact with it and choose whether or not they want to spend resources to postpone but worsen the inevitable, just not sure what would happen if both players tried to activate it on the same turn (I'd imagine whoever doesn't have the initiative would end up not activating it), nice work.

Pretty simple, play artifact now get big ass character later, not bad, I think it's a bit strong for 0 cost since you can get it out very early and have the hen out before the opponent has the cards/resources to destroy the egg (plus there's also cards that use artifacts like omnitron).

Seems like a better version of the humans are dead, though I'm not sure why it specifically only activates on your opponents turn, does that mean turns when they have initiative? I like how even though it's a mission the opponent does have a way to stop it and it puts some pressure on them to target the artificial units specifically.

So basically everyone can now add 3 more calamities to their deck, great.
Anyways, it makes calamity easier to pull off but as a cost it also gives the opponent plenty of warning and time to prepare.

Congratulations to the winners!
Hope you get good cards from the prizes!

If you don't want to host the next contest just send a pm to the next runner up and ask if they would be willing to do it instead.

[TameRlane]

Good choices! looking forward to the next challenge.

i had robot supremacy activate on the opponents turn so that if it clears the board (since it happens on the opponents turn) the opponent can still bring in a skraar, autumn dragon, anything with charge or haste, etc... before (if) the GI deck drops Omnitron.

I'll send in the prize list momentarily!
