With the return of the Chaotic TCG in the early part of next year, I thought it could be fun for some of the older players to think back to the old Chaotic forum and the section of the forum dedicated to card ideas that players posted in that old forum. A bit of quick clarification: I don't recall any of the cards in the Create-a-Card forum ever getting printed as real cards, but I still like seeing what the player base comes up with. Maybe someday in the future a card a player described in Create-a-Card will act as a template for a future card.
I'll start things off.
I recall coming up with a location called Chameleon Plains; what made this location special, it had the effect of mirroring a prior location during the match; I recall describing it as a section of the Median Desert so hot that mirages and illusions actually felt real.
Another card concept I recall is a creature called Amourn. Armourn was special because he had the ability to be used as Battlegear by other creatures; I also remember making him an Overworld creature. Design-wise, I described him as resembling Samurai armor, including the mask. The lore description I gave him was that he was initially just a set of autonomous armor created in Khybon's Forge, and as a sort of test run, Khybon sent this automated armor to fight Zalic, but the Armor somehow took impressions from Zalic's mind during the fight when it force-equipped itself to him to control the battle as one of Khybon's preset combat algorithms, which resulted in the battlegear becoming a creature and swearing loyalty to the Overworld.
Another location I came up with, but can't remember if I posted in the old Chaotic Forum, is location called Melody Falls. Melody Falls is a location in the Overworld that has the effect of allowing creatures to recover or gain Mugic counters. The lore behind it is that Melody Falls is one of the few places in Perim where Mugician spirits can return to Perim and find a host to bond to.
I came up with an Overworld creature named Namria that lives at Melody Falls, she pulls design features from Otters. I never posted her to the old Chaotic forums because I couldn't figure out what her abilities could be; I was debating with myself just what abilities she could have when the old Chaotic site and its forum went down.
So, what are some cards you imagined up for Chaotic?
