I've been scheming a way to publish a TCG for several years now. I just don't know about the legality of the situation. I don't want to be too similar to Magic: The Gathering, but none of my cards are "rip-offs" of any of theirs. I want my mechanics to be as unique as possible.

So I missread flare and voted for it. Thought it could target player which would mean: have more than two life than the opponent = instant win. With a one mana life gain it would make an ftk possible. Not being able to taget players resolves that problem.

After that probably spark: damage card draw for one seems great.
I am a magic player so thats where I get my comparison from.
Other than that the greater command board wipe is great as well.

In play testing, Greater Command was awesome, so I increased its cost to 3SS, because 2SS was too easy to Deploy.

I had a 15 energy cost "Instant win" in play testing and my opponent had one in his deck and won with that one game, even though I had 8 counters in my deck. 15 energy for an instant win seemed fair though, because it's also "Heroic" which means you're only allowed one copy of it in your deck.

What does 'disrupt target deployment' mean?
If thats a creature counter spell I switch to that. Its bassically free as well. I love counter spells.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Yes, it's also at "Disrupt Speed" which in my game is faster than "Instant/Fast Effect speed". I forgot to write it as Disrupt Speed. Thanks for asking about that.

Which one has the coolest artwork?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

That would be subjective, but probably either Great Serpent or Forever Knight for artwork. Just realize Forever Knight is an energy hog, even though it's ridiculously hard to destroy.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Yeah, I’ll go with the Knight.
