Design a card (or several cards) that are intended to be examples of bad design. Then, try to create fixed versions of the awful designs that other people have made. Make sure to indicate which card you're making a fixed version of.
Some types of bad design that could be used (possibly in combination with each other):
-makes the player feel bad
-doesn't work as expected
-extra text/complicated
-card's abilities contradict the flavour
There's probably a lot more that haven't thought of, and I'd to see how many different types of (bad) designs we can come up with collectively.
To get us started:
Flock of Seagulls
Aerithan, Dragon of Paradox
Paralyzing Slime Spray
Whatisthisidonteven
LOL. Oh, good idea.
For my "Horribad card" I present: Slow right the heck down,I want to do something strange
And I took the least bad, to my mind, and fixed up Flock of Seagulls into Leader of the Flock
And, yeah, ok - address the ridiculouness with Totemic Regrowth (so named because my first attempt was a totem armour)
Psichic Ankus [sic]
Aerithan, Bringer of Hope. And my next "Fix it plz" card: Foresight
Rafiq, Who Climbs Clouds as an alternate fix for Flock of Seagulls. Alternate alternate fix for Flock of Seagulls? Stop running. And stop listening to music by hairdressers with too much time on their hands.
Added Proboscidean Idol because Jack realized that I was bound to design a card around elephant tribal, and thought that it would be cool if I designed another one (?!)
To replace what I've taken, I submit Breader's Digestion, Mistress of the Machine and Razor Boomerang ;)
I created Mutato Devil in the "so bad it's horrible" category. Once my design brain recovers from that self-inflicted ordeal I'll have a go at fixing some of these :)
Created Leader's Restriction and Mistress of Innovation as fixes of Breader's Digestion and Mistress of the Machine.
Much later, created Harsh Goading as a fix of Psichic Ankus.
Made Shifter's Mist and Paradox Dragon
I also turned Whatisthisidonteven into Germination Charm and Hydra Spawn
Nirvana
Mutation Fiend, as a fix to Mutato Devil.
Strength in Diversity both fixes, and requires fixing ;)
This challenge used up all the bad cards, so I made some more for future challenge participants:
Landfall Valley
Biclops Fulminator
Shahrazad ;)
