Just a reminder that these contests started out as being about adding a card to each set, so entries should ideally mix in with them well. I'm not the host of this one, of course, just saying.
About this… Yes, I guess that ideally, the submitted card should fill a niche that is not found within the expansion currently being judged. Likewise, on paper, it’d be cool if it could complement the other existing cards of the expansion in a meaningful way.
However, I did not make that point clear in my competition post; and so I won’t hold it against any entry submitted this week. For instance, there is already a “-1 Coin” token Attack (Bridge Troll) in Adventures, but that won’t affect your submission if you too wish to submit an Attack card that also uses that token. IRL, that’d feel redundant. But here, it’s all good. I won’t subtract any point toward your card if such a situation occurs.
Should I win another contest (I doubt that, but let’s dream amIrite), I’ll address this more clearly.
also i think this is all a moot point because that style of attack-duration isn't on the accepted submissions list
I honestly would not have minded an "Attack – Duration" card as the inspiration for this week’s contest. I mean, I know it wasn’t on my contest post, but I ain’t so stuck-up on rules that I can’t judge the card for what it is. Besides, my contest post is merely an inspiration for what’s expected here. It’s not a hard-coded guideline
. Plus, you explained where the borrowed mechanic came from, so it’s not like that was a super random idea.
