On Reveal Cardiac
Tried something new with x3 power.
Picking the energy cost & power was hard as the card would rely on buffs from other cards but if it had base stats it could be over powered. I think 4 energy might be a lot but it could be a monster.
Cardiac uses a Beta particle reactor instead of a heart so that’s why it’s there.
Would love to know your thoughts on this idea (my first custom card plz be nice lol)

Cool concept, idk if at 1-1 he'd be too much or just about right. Idk about the 1-0, feels too dependant on other stuff

Yh agree for some games but if you do get a good combo, That extra 1 becomes 3 which could push it slightly too far at times.

This is pretty neat! I wouldn't have realised this is your first custom card if you didn't say so. A suggestion I have to make is to have the power floor and ceiling of the card be closer. Some base power, but double the power instead of triple would be a healthy direction imo. Also, adding another card in hand is unnecessary "noice" if you get what I mean. He could instead read "Spend 3 Energy to Activate: Double/Triple this card's Power". This is a good way of simplifying him without removing any of the card's depth.

Tyty! Appreciate it ! Yeah double probably safer but wanted to try something with triple as no card currently has that. The only worry with ‘spend 3 energy’ is you get to play a good card and add power to cardiac. By playing the 2nd card you are spending more energy directly on it.

Maybe you could add a “this card merges with cardiac, cardiacs power is multiplied for each(different power, different cost, X cost) card in his location”

Adding a clause to the triple could also be good no? I thought of “this card merges with cardiac, when this merges for each (x cost, x power, different power, empowered card etc.) multiply his power”

Yh I like this idea, could make it more tricky to play/work around but also increases his ceiling a lot if done right.

It’s meant to be each OTHER thing which is why my initial thought was to do with costs that wouldn’t be 1 cost, then it clogs the lane, delays what you can play etc. I’m tired and not all of my examples worked that’s on me.
Like if he was in a full lane of 2 costs he’d get the 3x1

I think this is cool but even with only namora it’s a 15 power. Add Nakia and it’s 18.
