Chain explode

[bigfatchef]

I see heavy armor tanks as hard to kill. So I would love to see a card to dissolve multiple equpment at once.

First try:

Chain explosion, incantation
22 mana, full action, range 0-1, target:minor non-fire equipment, fire level 4
Fire attack, 2 dice, 9+ burn
“Destroy target equipment then make the attack above. Target next equipment and continue this process until chain breaks.“

So this is a very first idea.
Level, price and so on are completely adjustable.
I like the idwa that ongoing explosions increase their impact because of decreasing armor.
A break in that chain could be an arcane ward, decoy, or any illegal target ( level 3+ equipment or fireschool equipment).

This needs to be pricy since it can possibly strip a mage blank.
Possible adjustments also could be a max count of attacks or that it has to deal damage to continue (but it would be too expensive if risky).

What do you guys think?

how does the chain break?

how does a decoy stop the incantation? So you could chain explode an item in every single slot if none of there were higher than level 3 or fire?

Yeah a decoy would't stop it. That one was wrong.
Generally you got the idea right. The chain of explosion would continue from slot to slot. At a certain point there would only be equipment of higher level or of fireschool or somehow protected left. Paladins gloves would help if they were protected themselfes.

22 mana and a full round action, is a lot, but you could potentially find a legal target in every slot. Clearly 11 destroyed items, 11 sets of dice, and 11 chances to burn is way to powerful. I would say its to strong even if 6 targets are legal . Also 22 mana is a lot, it is hard save that much mana usually.

Maybe a weaker version that can't chain as long and costs a tiny bit less?

[bigfatchef]

Sure!
Could be max 5 items or only armor-items. Plenty of ways to modify  I just wanted to spread the general idea. Maybe something gets through to a card designer or Brian himself.
