[MerliniX]

Herald of Madness
1 Cost
2p Exiles
3 Morale

3/3

When Herald of Madness is Deployed all cards in your hand that do not have Exile gain Exile, where the Exile cost is equal to the cost of the card.

dayuum knockin that sht right outta the park

Doesn't the character need to be unique? Just a heads up.

InvertedEye's design challange:

Create a unique character that costs 1 resource; don't know if it was implied or not.

Fixed.

I will be judging sometime tomorrow.

Judgement time

 Hiding

Nano-Mass, United
2p GI
1 cost
4 morale
Unique Character- Artificial

Nano-Mass, United enters play with 2 charge counters.

Characters you control gain +1/+1 for each charge counter on them.

Pay 1: Move any amount of charge counters from Nano-Mass, United to target character.

Pay X, Exhaust: At the end of the turn, Nano-Mass, United gains X+2 charge counters.

Exhaust: Each character with a charge counter gains another charge counter.

0/0

Another way for GI to mass buff its characters, it gets points from me for requiring you to plan out the optimal way to distribute them.

 ToxicShadow

Azir, Lord of Misfortune
Purity: 1CoV
Cost: 1
Morale: 10
Type: Unique Character - Demon
Stats: 1/1
Rarity: Epic

Untouchable

Everytime a player causes one of their own characters to die by one of their own abilities, put a might counter on Azir.

Azir gets +3/+3 for every counter placed on him.

If you control Azir at the end of the turn and he has 13 or more counters, you lose the game.

"Was it really such a good idea to summon this demon? I can't help the feeling that something is not right about him." - Last words of a Verorian Summoner, shortly before she was caught in a Mass Death spell by accident.

I like how the card can complicate mass death mind games when COV has a bunch characters on board which without it would be easy to guess that they won't play it. The drawback is interesting too and the untouchable can even make it harder to get rid of when it starts getting too many counters.

  Number11

Herbert, Master of distraction
3 purity FD
1 cost
4 morale
unique character - human
5/4

When deployed, target a character on the battlefield. Target character on the battlefield is moved to the support zone. Just before the Combat Phase starts, if the target character is not exhausted he moves back to the battlefield to the back of the zone the character was in.

Since you didn't give him a name an I asked for a unique character I decided to name him Herbert. I do like the many options Herbert provides though i am not sure if FD needs more ways to dodge removal or removing blockers especially not in 3FD.

 Pelagoth

Name: Jubalia, Demonic Angel
Type: Unique Character, Angel Human
Purity: 2p Exiles, 1p OoS
Cost: 1
Stats: 4/4
Morale: 12

Untouchable, Flying

Pay 1, Exhaust: Discard a random card and give target character +2/+2
Pay 7, Exhaust: Jubalia transforms into a 12/12 Angel Demon with Untouchable, Flying and Consume 2

Jubalia, don't give into madness! Jubalia? Jubalia? Noooooooooooo!

I don't like the restrictive purity especially considering that it's already the purity for divinedemonic decks which would be the only deck this card would be playable in where they don't need another discard character, also it seems you smuggled in a 7 cost character in my 1 cost challange.

Agent Coyle, Sinister One
1p CoV or 1p Ex
Cost: 1
Morale: 0
Unique Character - Human
2/5

Pay X: Activate an ability

Choose an ability:
- Target character permanently gains -3/-3 (cost 2)
- Target character receives double damage from combat this turn (cost 3)
- Deal 12 damage randomly split between opponent's deployed characters (cost 5)
- Exhaust: Transform into a 25/25 Flying, Unstoppable Dragon (cost 10)

Why let big brother have all the fun?

Those are some very powerful abilities on a 1 cost character, spontaneous combustion ability would be toxic as hell if you could play it every turn. I also really don't like that you made a cheap utility character with more than 4 health, the whole point of cards like lighting bolt is to kill characters like these. We have enough Coyle cards too.

 Conquest

Letach, Soul Harvester
2 CoV
Unique Human
Cost: 1
Morale: 7
1/6

Every time an opponent's character dies, put a counter on Letach. Every time you play an ability, remove a counter from Letach. If Letach has 2 or more counters, she is untouchable.
(Maximum of 6 counters)

Pay 4 counters: Your opponent loses one resource next turn. Counters are consumed at the end of the turn

(You may not pay the counters and THEN cast a spell if you have only 4 counters; as you would end up without enough counters, and this effect would then not take place).


"Everything comes with a price, especially in the dark arts. However, the Verore have the advantage of making this part of their plan."

I am really not sure about resource denial cards, also this card is kinda win more as you have to kill a lot of their characters at once to activate it. Cheap utility characters should not have more than 4 health the whole point of cheap kill spells like lightning bolt is to kill them.

Dante, Herald of Madness
1 Cost
2p Exiles
3 Morale

3/3

When Herald of Madness is Deployed all cards in your hand that do not have Exile gain Exile, where the Exile cost is equal to the cost of the card.

Well this card basically fixes the badly designed exile mechanic the faction was built around on its own. If there was any card from these design challenges that I wanted to be added to the game it would be this one.

Benionin

Avatar of Kung Ji
1 cost
3 DoD
0 Morale
Epic
Unique Character--Spirit

March through the night to arrive at the battlefield first, that you may secure the advantageous ground--Kung Ji, Glorious Strategist

Vigilance
Whenever a character you control is dealt combat damage and survives, your opponent loses 2 morale
If CARDNAME would be killed, instead it becomes exhausted for the next turn (a la sages)

Either 2/6 or 2/8 (probably 2/6)

I don't think the avatar design is meant for 1 cost characters, also the card punishes the opponent too much for attacking which will probably lead to games where they stick to the support zone for a long time before launching a large attack which doesn't seem that fun, its better for the faction to provoke the opponent to hurry and attack than for both players to wait around.

Nephilim

Project 0D-0P-T3R
cost 1
1 GI
moral 5
unique character - artificial
at the end of the turn Project 0D-0P-T3R gets +1/+1
as long as Project 0D-0P-T3R has the greatest power of all characters in play it has flying, shield 2 and unstoppable
1/1

This card is basically a character for constructor to stick stuff to, I think the abilites it gives are too strong and would likely win the game the moment it is buffed and opponent can't answer it with removal that can get through shield 2.

Brueson

Pure Energy
Purity: 1 GI or 1 CoV
Cost: 1
Morale: 10
Unique Character - Elemental
2/2

Haste

When Pure Energy attacks, it gains +2/+2 for each max resource the opponent has and then your opponent gains an additional maximum resource.

At the start of each turn, if Pure Energy is in your defense zone, you gain 1 extra resource for the turn.

I do like the idea of a  resource increasing card that needs to be protected in the defense zone. I think its drawback for attacking won't matter much late game so it gives you a huge hasted attacker for cheap which I don't like.

Goldschuss

Commando recruiter
Purity: 2 FD
Cost: 1
Unique charakter Human.

3/3
While Commando recruiter is deployed, all characters you control with a cost of 1 or 0 gain +2/+2.

Buffing health is outside of what the faction does and I don't think making aspirant deck a thing is fun.

The winners are:

3rd place Hiding you win 1 collection pack

2nd place ToxicShadow you win 2 collection packs

1st place MerliniX you win 1 faction pack+ 2 collection pack which you probably don't even need by now also you you get to host the next challange

[InvertedEye]

Sorry if I was a little harsh on your cards guys.

[Brueson]

Sorry if I was a little harsh on your cards guys.

No worries here. You were spot on in my case and I didn't fully think that part out late game. I was thinking it would be great to have a 1 cost card be viable late game, but giving it haste and buff ON attack was a little much. If it gave at the end of the turn, I think you would have liked it better, or maybe a cap. Maybe even if it goes above 20 attack, it immediately dies.

Anywho, thanks for judging this round!

[Number11]

Congrats MerliniX on the win. Very good card idea.

Since you didn't give him a name an I asked for a unique character I decided to name him Herbert. I do like the many options Herbert provides though i am not sure if FD needs more ways to dodge removal or removing blockers especially not in 3FD.

The idea of the card moving a character to the support zone and then back to the battlefield before the characters do battle is to make it not just another push back for an attack like stumble or flashbang. You need to do something to the card while it is in support and the cards that do that tend to be to slow for the 3 purity FD. A good example is Proctul, the sniper. Most would not pick the card for 3FD as it would be too slow for the FD rush. With my card idea you could push a character for a moment to use Proctul on while also gaining a 5/4 body for 2 cost. This would be more cost efficient with rush than to try using stumble with Proctual. The card design is so that it would not help as just another push card on the enemy and make current decks just more powerful but is more for making cards that don't work so well for 3FD better in 3FD in order to diversify the decks made for 3FD.

I don't think it would be enough to make proctul playable and most of the cards that combo with it in 3fd, I get what u are going for and this card would be 4th place, I just don't think its enough to really diversify 3fd.

[ToxicShadow]

Congrats to the wizard for winning the challenge.
