Tidus's Customs

[Tidus]

Here are my customs... I have split each faction into 7 different sections starting with the Guild Dwarves on this post. I will try to keep the cards as balanced as possible. I will likely never actually use these because i like to play with official cards. Just something to look at. I am limited to 4 Pictures per post so there may be multiple posts of one faction. The pictures that have the faction symbol's are from [replacer_a] from the Faction's section. the pictures of the units are from an online game called Poxnora, [replacer_a], events have no picture. I hope you find the customs interesting as i did creating them.

[Jivatma]

A lot of unique abilities. A few gripes and concerns....

Drunken Rampage seems like a weaker variant on the Cave Goblin's Berserker.

I like the looters and Fire in the hole!

Dreadnought is broke. 11-cost is far too expensive. and 4 unhindered attack dice is also really freaking good. Only Grognack and Blarf get 4 unhindered attack dice as the sets sit now. You've also given him an already existing ability (Archangel's Greater flight) and allowed him to transport up to 3 CG units.

Cave Goblins are already "hurting" for magic. Its hard enough for them to get 5 for mook or the eater. 11 for Dreadnought is quite spendy. On top of all that, 2 for a trainer and 2 for a ravager is plain robbery.

Trainer + Ravager is a nice combo, but its too "situational" in my honest opinion. 3 life common units are also a little overpowered. Charge is a nice ability on the other hand, though the wording is a little.....wordy

ice hail is a little grrr. 1 damage to all adjacent units, or 2 damage to target and all adjacent units. It seems kind of good. but almost too good.

mana release is nice. a few people trying to make "magic recycling" abilities. Dunno how it interacts.

shard shooters are stalwart archers for tundra orcs -_- feels a bit redundant and just blah...

I like frostburn. 2 free damage on any summoner (hahaha @ prince) is a little too good however. Its a little redudant also. I'd just it for the 2 free damage. why the need to do 1 now and 1 later?

Quickdraw is a "reverse burning blade" nice concept. once again, 4 dice (2 auto hits) is a little high.

firestorm fits with the "burn" spell-base of the deck. However once again, targeting summoners with "free damage" is a bit scary. within 2 spaces is also quite large.

Gargoyles are fun. Lots of people have been messing with "moving walls" There is no distinguishable way to discern a molded gargoyle from a non-molded gargoyle right now though.

Placing one wound marker on a card as a "set-back" or "penalty" for a good ability is fine and dandy. I don't think it needs to be on every other card.

holy shield already sort of exists as in the form of intercession. The ability to prevent damage and that much is a bit too much in a primarily 'healing-oriented" deck however. As far as speculation goes, there isn't a unit in Vanguard that has 1 life, so with this champion and a nearby full-life common, you need to do 4 damage just to kill the common. kind of overpowered. and not really fun.

1 extra space is fun. But there's a reason movin 2 spaces is the rule. 3 spaces make the board much too tiny, and also with Greater flight, 4 spaces and fly over stuff makes for a very dead prince.

Locked bane sems just a combination of "counterattack" and magic locked. gaining a magic and preventing a magic from an opponent on THEIR turn is mean. and unfair imho

Life Drain already exists on dragos, it needs to be reworded to avoid confusion i think. currently it also does not affect Skeletal Archers. Wording is quite confusing too.
