Code: CW15 History: [-] |
i think cards like this show the limitations of glory in its current form. it's hard to staple a relevant effect onto a removal spell, and because it affects all creatures it can't offer up anything truly weighty.
a good example of this is battalion (Firefist Striker). it could have been "attacking creatures you control gain X", but that would have been overly limiting (and battalion itself already felt pretty narrow as it is). instead they made the flavour element part of the condition rather than part of the output, and i think that's the best way to go about it IMO; means you can have abilities that run the gamut of power levels
just a suggestion, but i think you're going to have a hard time making powerful uncommons/rares with glory on them
I dunno; it's a 4 cost common removal with upside. I'd draft that. It's nice on the Defense if you want to multiblock with tokens
Oh yeah I agree this card is fine, but it's fine because the effect is good enough without Glory. If that's true of all Glory cards and Glory can never grant powerful things then it's only going to be considered as an afterthought. Not a good outcome for a keyword mechanic
I see. Don't worry; I have more exciting ones to come
First strike -> Lifelink
Glory Rework
From flavor standpoint I don't get the connection between 'glory' and token creatures.
The idea is that the glory of the power of gallasthene nobility inspires the lesser folk to do great deeds.
Maybe "inspire" would be a better name then. It seems you have tweaked how to represent "lesser folk" any way. (By which I presume you mean something classist, racist or sexist. :P)
Classist, most definitely
Changed from Inspire to embolden, seeing as how inspired is already an ability word. Might change it back to glory and have bonuses provided if you control a certain number of token creatures. (Probably 3)
Complete overhaul
Might be able to push this down to . Tapping creatures is usually more useful before blockers are declared.
