Notice: PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNTIL I STATE IN ALL CAPS ON THE LAST RESERVED THREAD THAT IT'S OKAY TO BEGIN POSTING. I have multiple previews to upload. Thanks in advance!
Okay, I'll provide detailed information concerning this Mod @ a later time. To start off let me state that the overall mod will feature themes and aspects from both the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe. Other comic universes such as Dark Horse, Image, and Valiant will be added later according to feedback.
Here are the five promotional cards from the Marvel Universe:
Design Theory: Instead of the typical design one would expect to see concerning a card like Captain America in the game of Magic: The Gathering, such as "All soldier creatures you control have +1/+1" I instead opted to take a divergent path and decided to design him according to a slow form of suicide. Yet, in doing so I still wanted to show that he is still very formidable even in his declining state. Thus, the powerful EBT effect. I still think he should have Exalted and First Strike though so I may add them to his arsenal to demonstrate that he can not only lead a team through the use of Battle Cry but he can also fight alone effectively through First Strike and Exalted.
However, not shown here is Captain America's Shield. This Legendary Artifact equipment is Indestructible, gives him +3/+6, Reach, the ability to block any number of creatures and all damage that would be dealt to you may be dealt to Captain America instead. But most prominently he can "Throw" his shield to "Choose one - Deal 9 damage to a creature; or deal 4 damage to a creature and each creature that shares a color with it; or tap all creatures your opponent control." Perhaps he should have a ETB effect that searches your library for his shield and place it in your hand. An additional passive bonus the shield provides is that it counteracts the -2/-2 counters placed on him by increasing his Toughness. Thus he can maintain a longer battlefield presence with it equipped while continuing to put out some serious damage. Lastly, here is an interesting fact: With his shield equipped Captain America's P/T becomes 9/11 (get it?).
The DC Universe has been implemented also but its five promotional cards will be showcased after reserving a few slots. The DCU card Braniac 13 is, in my opinion, very overpowered even when compared to the already outrageous cards displayed here.
Remember, everything concerning this mod is preliminary and subject to change. Nothing pertaining to balance has been considered at this point because this was just a personal mod for my brother and I to implement according to some of our favorite characters. Therefore, the main aspect that will need tweaking when we reveal the entirety of the set we currently have is balance and interactivity. Remember, your feedback is vital. It will help to further expedite the process and push this mod to be release as DLC faster.
Marvel has 38 completed cards so far.
DC has 21 completed cards so far.
I'm not sure why the flavor text is missing from Gambit and Omega Sentinel. I've never had this problem before. If someone would like to take a look @ their XML files let me know and I'll provide the codes here.
Design Theories will be added beneath the pictures later.
What characters, , locations, items, themes, etc would you recommend from the MU and DCU?
