The food counters would be real fun, but definitely require everything to key into them.<BR/><BR/>I guess, to me, they were kind of all ready The Galactus as soon as they ate Surfer. Eating him just gave them more of the same. Hmm... You know I just got an idea... I'll have to think on it and may have a revised Amplifier and a new ongoing plot twist. :)<BR/><BR/>-MikeRanmaSolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282237064952616453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666870886960584212.post-18505918492180121342008-05-17T11:47:00.000-07:002008-05-17T11:47:00.000-07:00Well, if you want to see what I did, which was dif...Well, if you want to see what I did, which was different (I also went with a different concept):<BR/>Cosmic Amplifier<BR/>1<BR/>E<BR/>Equip only to a Zombieverse character.<BR/>Exhaust any number of Zombies you control >>> Stun target character with DEF equal to or less than the ATK of the Zombies you exhausted. Put food counters on each of the Zombies you exhausted. Use only once per turn.<BR/>“Hit him again!”<BR/>Rare<BR/><BR/>Basically, my whole thing is that zombies are more powerful, but require food. Whenever a zombie stuns a character, you put a food counter on that zombie. At the start of the recovery phase, you stun all zombies without food counters, then remove a food counter from each zombie. This has them using their power combined to take out one big guy, basically a giant team-attack, except none of your guys get stunned back.<BR/><BR/>As for Galactus, I guess I understand, but still think that you shouldn't give them a version that they don't represent on the card.Pi_3.14159...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16917554445602762905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666870886960584212.post-35193961851306088812008-05-17T02:18:00.000-07:002008-05-17T02:18:00.000-07:00The thing with the version is that it's too cool n...The thing with the version is that it's too cool not to use... But if I really used it to represent them only after they ate Galactus, I'd have to make them all rather big and more "Galactus-y". It's more like something I wanted to use to tag them and potentially revisit.<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling you're right on about the Amplifier. What do you think would be a fair cost for it? I could do away with the flavor text and let you KO zombies to make it cost less, but then the stun at recovery becomes a steeper restriction... Hmm, what if it gave +4 ATK?<BR/><BR/>My intention is for it to be something you'd only play on a kill turn.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>-MikeRanmaSolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282237064952616453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666870886960584212.post-53735349008419536202008-05-16T23:49:00.000-07:002008-05-16T23:49:00.000-07:00Well, Hank certainly is interesting, although I am...Well, Hank certainly is interesting, although I am not sure if I agree with the power, given the version. When he was part of "The Galactus" he had already used the Cosmic amplifier to take out Galactus. After that, the device was never seen or heard from again.<BR/>The equipment has too many drawbacks for its effect, IMO. Basically, I could pay 3 resource points and have my characters all become stunned at the start of recovery (while not bad, still annoying as hell), or I could team-up with X-Men, get a Blackbird Blue, give all my guys flight, and not have them die and get 1 less ATK. Which could easily be supplied by something like Forward Assault. With the resource cost and the steep cost of attacking, I don't think it is worth it. Plus, by turn 7, when you can get it for free, you probably have done something so you should win, or at least have something more powerful.Pi_3.14159...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16917554445602762905noreply@blogger.com
