Title: "Tournaments may offer Promo cards as prizes."
Post by: vishwathg on September 04, 2018, 12:16:48 am: This sentence (on the Wiki) took me waaaay too long to parse. Then I realized "prizes" was lowercase.

In all seriousness, what if some of the Promo cards were Prizes? The two best candidates seem to be Prince and what-you-get-when-you-turn-Summon-into-a-card.

what-you-get-when-you-turn-Summon-into-a-card.

Wouldn't that be a bit close to Cobbler?

Probably more than two, and those ordinary cards can be Goons, King's Court, etc. I'd get it over Diadem and Bag of Gold a lot, and sometimes over Followers.

Post by: ackmondual on September 07, 2018, 08:52:02 pm: Sauna + Avanto would be tops! Here, I'm thinking they should be gained as a pair, as opposed to having 2 separate instances to gain each one.

Post by: vishwathg on September 07, 2018, 11:39:37 pm: One of each? Because that seems a bit lackluster.

Post by: crj on September 08, 2018, 12:04:25 pm: If we're talking about multi-card prizes, you could offer Village Idiots as a prize: each Village Idiot is just a Village, but the prize is a complete stack of ten.

That would be an extremely powerful Prize.

Post by: crj on September 08, 2018, 12:24:35 pm: Powerful? Yes. Situationally the best Prize? Yes.

But it's nothing like as powerful as Champion, so not completely broken!

(Plus, I wasn't being entirely serious.)
