MArcomage

For me guildmaster is cheated. It can give 400 ressource with no problems in one time... It's too much. il should have a maximum or use max facility/2 or have a higher cost.

I did some math and found out that Bastr is right.
12/12/12 cost and N limit of 10 should do it. When player managed to build 10/10/10 facilities, he deserved his 564 net gain.
Or… We can do something funny: halve current stock before production effect happens. Or even set it to 0…

Raising the cost would make the card weak on the lower end (3/3/3 facilities). I would simply add a max value. With 7 or 8 I think it would be on par with Clay Valley and Miriam.

New cards preview is now available :) Please note that this is only an alpha build.

Feedback is appreciated.

- Sin City could be transformed into a hand replacer for Demonic cards maybe.
- Traitoro: What "Cannot be discarded" exactly means? Cannot be discarded manually or by discarder/banish cards, or both?

Also, glad to see Shadow Warrior in the list :)

Traitoro is probably a bluff, Mojko loves to do stuff like this every now and then (I'm still waiting for "snow bunny").
Demonic needs some other uncommon attack cards, it has good rares but it's not enough.
Rainbow fairy and whirpool are probably the best common cards of the last 3-4 updates
About Shadow warrior, the "replace with self" is part of the "if not new"? Anyway it doesn't seem good, maybe an enduring bonus will help

Does Rainbow fairy have a 50% chance to summon a rare from your deck? That might be a little too good for its cost. I also had the same question as Fithz Hood with regards to Shadow Warrior.

Guilty as charged :D

Regarding Shadow warrior, the replacing effect is not conditional, perhaps I should reword the card effect. Rainbow fairy has indeed 50% chance of drawing a rare card from your deck.

Ah yes! It would be interesting to see it though, if the card is not at all discardable.

The standalone Arcomage game had a card that was like that. A cursed amulet or something.

Indeed, such card existed - it was called Lodestone in the original Arcomage. Our system doesn't support it currently.

3 resources for 50% chance of having a rare, isn't it a little too powerful ?
Magic portal cost 5 to have an uncommun card...
With Rainbow Fairy, it's at least an uncommon for only 3

It also has production x0, so it costs 4/4/4 with standard facilities.

Balance changes updated preview preview now available :)

Keyword changes:

Rebirth now counts Demonic cards as well.

Card changes:

Avatar of vengeance - cost lowered to 16G from 25G, added Demonic keyword
Cleansing - cost lowered to 3G from 5G
Gateway - cost lowered to 60G from 75G, lowered facilities gain to 3 from 5, added wall gain
Gnome thief - attack removed
Moon priestess - no longer effects player
Purifying fire - removed Holy keyword
Shifting mass - cost lowered to 3/3/3 from 5/5/5, can no longer summon self
Stables - conditional summoning effect is no longer conditional, summons non-rare Charge instead of Soldier with Charge
Summon master - token condition raised to 60 from 50 (compensation for token gain mechanic change)
Thief - recruits cost raised to 3 from 2
Titan soldier - attack lowered to 3 from 4, added card replacing effect (like Militia)
Veteran militia - card effect text corrected
Wishing lagoon - cost lowered to 4/4/4 from 15G

Good call on Purifying fire, since it currently makes Cleansing useless. Though with this being the case, I don't think Cleansing needs its cost adjustment.

The change to Wishing lagoon... has me concerned. Making it easier to play, I feel like it's going to be the deciding factor in more matches, and not in a fun way.

Leave production x0 on Wishing lagoon, please.

I actually like the change, to Gateway and WL in particular. It would make the Gateway based decks viable at last (I hope). WL used to cost 10G iirc, 15G cost kinda kills this card usefulness. 4/4/4 is a slight nerf to Piramids and Orc Regiment summons, and a big buff to Gateway. Reducing its cost along with lowering facilities gain makes the Gateway strategy more reliable, and wall gain helps against fast decks. It will probably need the second Gateway to achieve the serious advantage over the opponent though.

I actually think it makes it easier to use for Pyramids and Orc regiment summons rather than a nerf. If you're trying to save up for either of those cards, you're going to need to be using your gems in the mean time. It's far easier to play 4/4/4 than 15 of any one resource, and it's nearly impossible for the opponent to prevent its play based on resource reduction. (That is to say, it's a lot easier to keep an opponent below 15 gems than it is to keep them below 4 of any one resource.)

A statistical note here; my Gateway deck is at 42w/42l, and my Gateway/Curse deck is at 28w/30l, which may not be anywhere near as good as 60/22 for Barbarians, or 36/17 for Aqua, but is still viable. Perhaps the word you're looking for is "strong"?

(Apologies for double post, but) I like how the update gets applied to games in progress; it's not a huge effect, but some games could get tipped by it.
