Some Card Idees

The Artwork of the Blowpipe, should look like a snake with open mouth.

Very nice ideas all of them.

I like the mummy in particular.

Agreed. 4 cool idea's. Can I suggest to make the blowpipe cheaper and make it roll only an effect die with "no damage" like on "unstable fire imp" since the needle itself will do no damage and buffing it with ranged +X is weird. I especially like the blood rituals but maybe a 1:1 ratio is better.

If you save your image somewhere on the internet (like http://puush.me/), you can use the hyperlink to get the images inline.

I think 1:1 Ratio for the blood ritual is to powerfull maybe As full action would be 1:1 probably ok but I find it as fast action better.
With the blowpipe I give you right, unless you get it into the Eye:-)
Tainted is powerfull, you think 4 mana is better? 3 mana is certainly too cheap.

Agreed.

At 1:1 This spell creates an imperfect bell distribution that creates the following data:

Mana - Probability %

0 - 5.5(r) %
1 - 11.1(r) %
2 - 22.2(r) %
3 - 27.7(r) %
4 - 22.2(r) %
5 - 5.5(r) %
6 - 5.5(r) %

Ergo you can only cast Adremelech, Lord of Fire on 11.1% of your first turns.

I think the Air Elementel will look like this.

Can see your are a prolific card creator!  ;) Keep them coming!
Love the concept of the soul reaper. gain life for killing! maybe down size the power and price to see it more on the tables.
The hour glass is totally overpower in my opinion. Initiative is sooooo important at some point in most of the games that feels kind of difficult to implement.

Aye i like to think about cards and ideas it fits well into the game and extend it.

The alternative female wizard has an hourglass on her picture, I thought about what it could do.

What You say to the soul reaper now? :)

The concept of a necro summoning himself upon death is pretty amazing, but the card itself is currently awefully weak?

- Dispel kills you(?)
- You are mana drained when you revive (or cannot reveal it to begin with)
- 6 life will probably almost never win you the game. (I think you should add at least get resilient)
- Bloodthirsty +0 kinda sucks on your mage.
Title: Re: custom cards: Infectious Rat,...

When the enchantment was revealed, the spell is active, so I thought
Dispel dont Kills you.
You are a zombie = resilient

And yes Bloodthirsty sucks on mages.
Perhaps, it would a bit different better...

Lich Transformation is the answer of the dark school to the holy spell Restore

You are doing the community a huge favor; keep coming up with amazing cards!

Thanks :)


Maybe the Tank should be a conjuration but that would bring problems with it.

Bad Luck can't be a Full Action. All enchants are Quick.

Ups
My mistake. Of course you are right!

Amazing cards with very Unique ideas! Thanks a lot your sharing them!
There could be single thread for each one of them to discuss :)

- Hourglass seems way to powerful.
- I like the idea of necro coming back as zombie, however I am not sure how it would feel in play.
- the steamtank us great! Thematically you are right that it should be a conjuration, but for all purposes of gameplay it is perfectly a creature.
- how does phoenix come back a second time? He is epic. Do you want him to be playable from the discard pile or as zombie or what is the idea?
- tornado should push in random direction

I'll come back with more feedback 👌

Tornado should push in random direction  Aye you are right!
Do you find the hourglass, generally too strong or should it simply cost more?

I would like to see a card or idea of me in a future set ;-)
But what I really want is that the future Shaman mage will be a lizardman.

Swarm:
Just like Extendable for Walls, you can pay extra mana to summon one more Wall, you can pay the Swarm +X cost to summon as many more creatures with the same name as you want or can.
Pay the swarm + x cost for the additional creatures to summon them instead of the normal cost.

Exempel: To summon 3 Mosquitoes you need 3+4+4=11 Mana.

At Night he produces more mana.

Should the mushroom have regeneration 1? Mushrooms do not regenerate like plants.
Title: Re: custom cards: Infectious Rat,...

You should probably use commas to separate the keywords on your cards since you don't add the dots the official cards have. it's better than nothing, and would help with readability.

No plants in real life regenerate as fast as the plants in Mage Wars. Magic Mushrooms man, you could have them regenerate 3 if you wanted to.  :D

You are right, of Course,
but according to my feeling they should have less regenerate than plants, so maximum regenerate  1.
