Mad Experiment (Rare)
Cost: 0
All Facilities = 1
Replace all cards in hand with random rare cards not from own deck.
Replace chosen opponent's card with random rare card not from their deck.

i think that card is a good idea but much too powerfull to use it this way.

maybe change it into something like this:

cost 0,
both stock = 20
both facilities = 1
both players discard all cards and recieve new rare cards not from their decks.

mmm it gives me some ideas:
all rares

SoulCollector
(15gems)
convert all your recruits into gems

---------------------------
wizard academy(0)
convert all your dungeons into magic

-----------------------------
Army of Stone (15 recruits)
convert all your bricks into recruits
---------------------------

Diamond Structures(15 bricks)
convert all your gems into bricks
-----------------------
Ether(0)
convert all your magic into quarry

-----------------------
Stone armors(0)
convert all your quarry into dungeons

Suizide Bomber

Uncommon, 5R, 5B
-1 Dungeon
Attack: 25

Eh, the point of Mad Experiment isn't to destroy both players' facilities... that would be too powerful. The point is that you're giving up all your facilities on a risky gamble, hoping to get something useful that you can use to win. You don't get to use it immediately, though... so if the rare you just gave your opponent is something good, you may not even get a chance to use it. Not to mention the possibility of countering it with Black Market/Tribute... or, for that matter, Evolution/Micramix, which you may have just given them.

Odds are that most of the rares in your hand won't be applicable to your current situation; they're cards not in your deck, after all, so you'll definitely be getting cards whose abilities are limited by the random potpourri you've acquired. More importantly, you'll not be getting much more in the way of resources... at all... for the rest of the game. But if you've got enough resources already stockpiled, then it might be worth it.

RE: facility conversion cards

You can't really convert "all" of one facility to another as the game keeps a lower bound of one each. Would this be taken into account? (Would 3/3 become 5/1?)

yep that's a good idea:D

Stability (R)
durable
4 each
attack: 3X
wall: + 2x
tower + x
stock +x

oops... :)

x = durable cards in your hand

Ok, but what is "x"?

Hi!
I've got a pair of card suggestions, and please give me some feedback regarding balance and such =)


Draw Upon Holy Might (rare)(holy)
Cost: 15 r, 15 g, 15 b
Attack: 3N
If N > 8 Facilities +1

Where N is number of holy cards in game

----------------------------------

Essence of Medusa (uncommon)(destruction)
cost: 15 gems, 5 recruits

Replaces all unliving cards in game with Palisade Walls
Each player suffer -3 wall for every card replaced this way
If none are found enemy wall -10

I think that a "Unliving-Cleansing" card is needed, to give non-unlivingplayers the ability to keep their opponent in check.

Essence of.... is about fine I think, comparing it to a card like Sheath your sword.

About the Holy card: It pretty much demands a hand full of Holy's for it's conditional to trigger, and even then you'll need to hope that the opponent has at least 1 Holy card on hand. Summarized: The effect for Facility's +1 will probably only trigger in a Holy vs Holy match, and isn't worth it's cost if it doesn't trigger.
Asume your hand full of Holy cards it deal's only 24 Dmg for 15/15/15, wich sucks for a rare. (Compare it to Shadow unicorn that deals 25, gives +Magic and more for 15/15).

Day of Faith

same as wildfire gem but with ramdom holy cards.

Kakerlake [3each]
(common)(insect)(holy)(unliving)(barbarian)
if this card is discarded: tower -5

---

Insect Plague [5each]
(uncommon)
if Kakerlake is in your hand, discard all rare cards. enemy tower and wall -10 for each card discarded.
if none found, discard all uncommon cards enemy tower and wall -3 for each card discarded.
discards all insects

This card would help the in the sense that it would make unlivingdecks a lot easier to damage. Most unlivingplayers usually end up with 7-8 unliving cards on hand early on in the game. By playing a card such as this, you would force the unliving players to have a "plan b". That would force them to put in other keywords in their decks and make the entire game far more strategical and fun.

As it is, you pick all the unlivingcards, crack off a couple of mud elementals and then focus on breaking down your opponent, who by that time doesn't stand a chance against a relatively HUGE wall.

*EDIT* Apparently I misread kakerlake's post. Originally my suggestion made the unliving cards turn into wildfire gems and i misunderstood it. But I think that the rest of my post still stands, since it is valid critisiscm.

When you're Holy and meeting a deck with no Undead, you really want to see a card like this:

(C) 0 Quick, Holy
If there are no Undead cards in opponents hand, choose and Discard a Holy card

Might be too good with 0 cost, I dunno... I'd really appreciate a card like that, so you could get some speed vs non-Undead decks with Holy.

jakewaste, when I read your post I doubt you've even read the posts before yours.

I'm not in favor of such ridiculous counter cards. Cleansing is pushing it far enough as is; it's useless enough that people complain about wanting an easy way to replace it against normal decks... and powerful enough that it makes the Undead player cry.

Of course, Holy is an oddly specific keyword anyways, so there you go.

'Essence of Medusa' is really awful for just the same reason; it's an even more extreme example of the above. Perhaps you missed the inclusion of the card named 'Corrosion Cloud'? That's what you're looking for. Use that card.

I don't like the Medusa suggestion as it currently stands either, but I will say that Corrosion Cloud just isn't cutting it.

I've only seen it in one deck since it was introduced, and the fact that it hones in on the card with lowest brick cost makes it rather ineffective. When I play my Unliving deck, my hand quickly fills with 2 and 4-brick cards that are rarely played, just there for the keyword. The cards that are played are the Unliving ones with 15+ brick costs and the non-Unliving ones that increase facilities or unleash a strong attack at the expense of gems and recruits. All that Corrosion Cloud ends up doing is discarding a card that was likely never going to be played and reducing bricks by an insignificant margin in the face of 5+ Quarry. I've yet to change strategy mid-game due to the appearance of this card.

As a potential fix, I would suggest having Corrosion Cloud reduce bricks by the number of Unliving cards in the opponent's hand. Heck, also have it reduce Quarry by one if there are 6 or more. Then I might start fearing it, and ideally, seeing it in more decks.

I used corrosion cloud to pretty good effect my last game, but my opponent didn't have cards like stone archers in his hand either. Sometimes its just about luck.

Medusa (Rare) (Legend)

Or if that is too weak:

I've Got A Plan! (common) (quick)

Choose a card from your hand to be discarded and replaced with Don't Be Hasty
Next card you recieve will be either Cleansing, Corrosion Cloud, Reuse the Rubble or Undead Raid.
