Yeah... I'm very impressed by the level of effort and attention to detail put in these judgings. Thank you!
New entry - rewards variety and gets stronger the earlier you play it.
Isn't this supposed to have the Attack and Doom types also?
I've redone my design. Thanks to pubby, LordBaphomet, grep, anordinaryman, alion8me, and sorry I don't entirely understand how quoting multiple people works on this.
I wanted Night Hag to be something that wakes you from sleep, it's thematic and I like it so I wanted to keep the night phase and not make it a Treasure. I also wanted it to have a cursing effect, like all good(?) hags. I also wanted there to be a reason to go back to the Action phase and not just to be a gimmick. This is what I've got now:
Night HagQuoteIf it's your Night Phase, you may trash a Curse from your hand or gain a Curse to hand. If you do, return to your Action phase. Otherwise,
+2 Cards
+1 Buy
Each other player gains a Curse.
I am still torn about gaining a Curse to hand. I had it as gain a Copper/2 Coppers to hand, or gaining a Spirit of some sort. This seemed to be a fix. So, you might have some unfinished business in the action phase and really want that Curse, or want to trash that earlier curse you gave yourself. Most importantly though, I don't think it matters if that locket is cursed anymore...
Thank you NoMoreFun for the challenge this week and congrats on the win Carline, definitely deserved with the amount of effort you put in!
My submission this week is Night Hag:
Night hag should read "If it is your night phase, return to your action phase, +$2, and each player gains a curse. I think it seems right at 5. Comparing it to Witch - $2 is worse than 2 cards, but it is nonterminal. The return to action phase is only useful if you have actions left, which you would have used if you could have so it's not that powerful.
I would make cursed locket something bad like cursed gold so then people think should I keep this in my deck for the curse trashing or should I trash it? It seems kinda weird that its both better than a copper and also does something else beneficial.
I'm sorry if the quotes are janky I'm still new to this type of formatting
However there are some shenanigans you can do with monarch where because cards are in play, they can be copied by changeling and pilgrimage. Is that intended?Monarch v2 is very strong and balances the weakness of the ladder (without the Monarch, they are just a bunch of mediocre self-junking cards). And there is almost no marginal value of the second monarch, which is nice.
I am not committed to that version just yet though. For the time being, I’ll stay with Monarch V1 (the non-Duration one), unless this revision gains enough traction and is deemed good enough to replace the other version. I dunno, it just seems very strong to me. Like, Victory cards won’t be stop cards for you for the rest of the game. Anyway, I may be misjudging this whole affair too.
Hey, thanks for the win!
CHALLENGE #76: All That Glitters
Every expansion has one, and now it's our turn. Design a Gold-gainer. The card may gain a Gold unconditionally (like Bandit), conditionally (like Explorer), or optionally (like Courtier), but it must be able to gain Gold specifically. Abilities like "gain a card costing up to $6," "gain a Treasure," or "Exile a Gold from the supply" would not qualify.
would Swashbuckler qualify for this
VP/Coffers/Villagers interaction:I assume that it's a physical "move", and Customs House cannot multiply the tokens (otherwise it's crazy).
Maybe Privatize should give you villagers? Would two be good?Wouldn't this be a dead Event in a Kingdom with no Coffers/Villagers cards?Really love Ledger. Stuff like Courtier which deals with card types needs some love in Dominion. However, I dunno if a cantrip Hex giving Attack wouldn't result in a player's turn being completely demolished.
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but how do you insert pictures into a reply?
use the [ img ] [/ img ] tags (without spaces) around the url to the image file.
Better yet, press the "Quote" button on a post with an image and see how they did it.
