[CDC] What other benefits do I get? [closed/judged]

[Hiding]

Going off Benioin's challenge (due to my limited imagination) if there ever was a new set or blocks revolving around Faction purity or to counter Faction purity based decks, what sort of cards would you find in such a set?

Cards posted cannot have ever been posted on the forums ever before (though I have not much way to check).

Ideas may include:
- Stuff similar to Benion's challenge
- Cards that reflect other player's purity choices
- Cards that remove purity cost from cards or increase purity costs on cards
- Anti-purity cards, or cards that can be included in decks as long as you dont have the specified purity
- Maybe have a card that gets buffed the more Flame Dawn symbols it has on it and have the picture be a guy covered in 100 Flame Dawn symbols or something idk man.

The more the card introduces interactions using purity as a resource the better.

Challenge Deadline: August 26th

Comment: So your Ascended Gao Han will pretty much never fight with anything as would your Hasted Champions. Likewise, your opponent won't be surprising you with Impervious or a flying Emberstarter or a handful of Agent Coyles. And she can do it all from the comfort of the Command Zone.
Amy dies to all indirect damage but, if you're spamming Lightning Blasts and chump-blocking with Followers (via Cornicen, Heaven's Assistance and Irial) or Rita's Guards, she might not have to.

Hmm should I just give everyone here first second and third place?

I guess Ill just postpone this 1 week and see what happens.

Cuz Im lazy and dont wanna judge yet.

[Benionin]

Inquisitor
Factionless
Character--Human
Rarity--Epic
Cost 4
Morale 7
8/8

Inquisitor's purity is equal to the highest purity in your deck (if there is a tie, it chooses the left-most purity in your command zone).
Whenever Inquisitor fights another character from the same faction, it gains +8/+8

I'll be the judge of guilt

[ToxicShadow]

Theodorus, Grand Keeper of Memories
Purity: 1 of all factions
Cost: 6
Morale: 10
Type: Unique Character - Human
Rarity: Rare
Stats: 10/10

If Theodorus is chosen as commander, he counts as one of his purities of your choice, but only one at a time.

Whenever your opponent plays a card with 2 or more purity, remove all other cards with the same name from the opponents hand, deck and graveyard. Cards with 2 or more purity get removed from game upon entering the graveyard.

Whenever a card you control with 1 or less purity enters the graveyard, shuffle it back into your deck instead.

Some things have to be remembered. Others are better left forgotten.

Does this card gain purity when you deploy it, when it comes into play or is it just the leftmost purity while in your deck? Also if it is neutral purity does that count as a purity? Or is it like in magic the gathering "colorless" meaning its second part just never applies?

[Benionin]

It's meant to be state-based, so it's always the highest purity of your deck--aka that's what it counts as in your hand, in your deck, on the field, and so on. It's technically factionless for collector purposes, though.

For mtg reference, Ghostfire or Pact of Negation come to mind as cards whose rules text specifically say what color they are (colorless and blue, respectively). They're always that color. The Inquisitor works in the same vein.

My question about the neutral was if it happened to be in a deck with neutral/fd/dod would it be neutral purity or fd?

If it was all neutral would neutral count as a "faction" or would it be "factionless" therefore the second part would not apply (it would be factionless but would not gain +8/+8 against other factionless because factionless is not a faction)

Alright entries are all closed and all that gonna judge if i remember to

So if you keep targeting 1 purity artifacts, Inspector Gadget here can keep cycling artifacts every 2 turns until you get Omnitron out. Targeting a 2p Artifact gives you a 7/7 for 2 which is pretty decent for early GI defense especially needed in an artifact focused deck. A 8/8 flying that comes out if you have flux capacitor is pretty decent as well, good for early hard hitting.

Pretty powerful card that if you can sacrifice a bunch of tokens can pretty much make her unremovable. Really screws over Flame Dawn although she cost 8 so they are already at their end game at this point. I think we do need more cards that slow down the game a bit instead of all this charge/vigilance mobility creep going on.

Pretty generic concept here, but interesting include in a factionless or mostly factionless deck.
Would've been cool to have the dragon cost reduced by factionless purity or factionless characters but it is what it is.

Generally solid Factionless purity card. If used right can be buffed ridiculously huge, but requires either some kind of manipulation of purities of the opponent [if there are ever cards that end up being able to do such a thing] or infiltrating something to fight. Probably best used in defense zone to repeatedly fight things and become huge. I assume fight means combat damage? And does not require you to have to use the card Fight to work?

Pretty powerful card, in fact maybe a bit too powerful. Limiting opponents to only 1 copy of 2 purity cards is a bit too powerful especially coming from a 10/10 commander that can fit into any faction. Off the top of my head theres Mass Death and Fear which kinda screws up those decks but maybe that’s the point. Probably a pretty good card for Flame Dawn due to everything being one purity. Could be useful in factionless where everything gets shuffled back into your deck, but if that’s the case you cannot build an all factionless deck because he is automatically 1 purity of SOMETHING. Oh right this card puffys over Humble. I like that I guess.

[ToxicShadow]

With '1 of all factions' i actually meant that he literally needs to be part of an enyah deck....(or anything similar, if there ever is another deck building tool). He seems much too powerful imho to be some kind of improved factionless.

That being said, does anyone else want to host the next challenge? I don't really have a good idea for the next one right and i am not sure if i can be around to judge it when the time comes.

[ToxicShadow]

Well, I guess that means no one else wants to do the next one, so I'll give it a try. Maybe I can squeeze the judgement in somehow.
