Lightning Rod
« on: October 26, 2012, 02:26:07 PM »
Zone Equipment (an equipment placed on the arena) (something I just thought up)
Quick cast
Mana cost: 12
Target: "Zone" (0-2)
School: Air (5)


Whenever a player cast an air spell, all creatures on the zone with Lightning Rod takes 2 damage. When a mage is next to Lightning Rod, they may spend one full action to transfer lightning rod 1 zone away.

"Do you hear the roars coming from above? they yearn to put you in their embrace"

Note: Here, I tried something new. I didn't want to make it a conjuration/enchantment because it IS made of metal, and I think getting rid of it with cards like dissolve makes more sense than using dispel .  Hope you guys like it. Items like these would definitely increase the amount of chaos in the arena.

nice idea but i believe the rules state equipment is only attached to a mage.  most of the temples and totems look to be made of metal as well.  something like this should be unique if not zone exclusive which would restrict its placement somewhat.   range would probibly be 0-1  just my thoughts, sounds like a cool idea!

Yes it does, but hopefully the expansion gives us something new :)

As for the range, you are right. It would be much better if the range was 0-1.
Glad you liked it :)

I think Zone equipment is impractical but a super cool idea

i really dont see any reason for equipment applying to zones. this is already covered thematically and mechanically by enchantments and conjurations.

for example this card is just fine as a conjuration. i cant think of a single situation where this wont be the case.
