WDC #132: All Hallow's Eve
In honor of upcoming Halloween, this week's contest asks for Night cards... but not just any Night cards, they have to be "in costume".
This weeks contest is to design a Night card that has at least one other (non Duration) type. I'm excluding Night-Duration, as there are already several official cards. Your design can still be Night-Duration, as long as it has at least one other type.
Official Cards that would qualify:
Werewolf
Vampire
Raider
Ghost*
* Ghost, of course, is a non supply card; if you do something similar, please include a supporting supply card
Judgement:
My general criteria continues to be: Is this a card I wish I had designed? So I will look towards it being interesting and fun, foremost, and at least somewhat thematic. While balance is also important, if it's a card that has some imbalance but potential to be fixed, it won't lose many points. I also do tend to lean towards "simpler is better", knowing that it is sometimes in conflict with "interesting and fun".
Bonus points / tiebreaker will be awarded to cards that have an appropriate, Halloween-y theme.
Submission Deadline:
Entries and revisions must be submitted by 12:01 Forum Time (16:01 UTC) on Wednesday, October 27th. Some time around then, I'll make the outline post showing all the latest versions of the entries I've seen, so you can confirm I haven't missed any.
(And that should give me a few days before actual Halloween to get judgements finished!)
