I thought I could have a nice little contest with a nice little poll. Silly me. More than 20 entries means I have to split the contenders in no less than three groups and have a round of semi-finals.

This is group A, it contains all cards with a point cost between 0 and 80 (but don't ever call these ladies cheap. They wouldn't like that and you so do not want to get on their wrong side.)

This group contains nine entries and the best four will make it to the finals.

We all know women in general can be contradictory beings and difficult to fathom but for the ladies of Valhalla this should not be so. Please keep this in mind when picking your favorite. Do her abilities ‘work’ and do they make sense? Would you have her in your army? And last but not least, would you find it acceptable if your opponent had her in his army?

And once you have voted do not forget to check out groups B and C as well. Thank you on behalf of the contestants.

Deathwalker movement Bonding
Before taking a turn with Agent Rohe, you may move any deathwalker you control up to 5 spaces.
Legal stuff:
Some of you guys made splendid cards, but all entries are presented text only to keep a level playing field.
The groups are differently sized because I desperately wanted to keep equally priced characters grouped together.
Other than correcting some typos (did't catch them all probably) I did not not deliberately change anything in the text of any entry. Yet, to err is human, so if the text presented here is different than what you send me I goofed and I'm truly sorry. But you're only entitled to my apology and nothing else.
I will not be voting myself, but I do hold the decisive vote in any and all stalemate situations that may occur.

I thought I could have a nice little contest with a nice little poll. Silly me. More than 20 entries means I have to split the contenders in no less than three groups and have a round of semi-finals.

Cool. I think that it is great that so many people are interested. Good luck to all.

There is more than one of these threads!? I didn't realize there was more contestants to choose from; maybe you could leave a link to all the other threads so that each one gets a similar number of total votes.

I will first state that I do have a dog in this fight, so take that into consideration when you read this post.

Very few of these abilities are "clean" and many are downright clunky. If it makes you want to grab the rule book, FAQ, or make a new post to figure out when and how it works in this scenario or against this unit or ability, then it is probably too tricked up or something critical was overlooked. I encourage people to try to "break" these abilities in their mind or or on the gameboard before voting.

Also, the value of the card should be under scrutiny. Some of these entries are far too cheap and a few far too expensive.

Just me running some interference hoping that it helps my entry. ;-) :D 8)

Rychean, how dare you call my Agent "clunky"?

I probably have the most convoluded special powers on my Agent, but you can't deny that Undercover is just downright COOL. It's not even clunky at all - there is just no power like it in the game today. So what if both players can place Order Markers on her and take turns with her while she's Undercover.... that's the whole point!!! Nobody knows what side she's on!

Do you attack your own Agent 199 if your opponent puts Order Markers on her? What if she kills your units because you didn't attack her? But, if you kill her, you lose the ability to gain that inside information that only an amazing undercover spy could provide!

Who says I was talking about yours! ;-)

Pay no attention to me. I am simply trying to impress my will on this effort. My will was for a unit with some official feel to it. Forgive me Pegasus, I shall refrain from further interjection. :-D

Pay no attention to me either.... just a bit of subtle advertising there :D

Good times, good times.

Just saying there are holes in most of these..

If my agent was anywhere near winning the poll, I might have reason to be concerned.

Rychean,

Thank you for your analysis of some of the specials in this contest. I have an entry in this thread--and I will not hint at which it is--and your comments made me question any vagueness that may be found in my own custom special abilities. Sure enough, I see how one of my specials could be more specific. So in short, thank you for the critical eye & mind.
