Re: Un-Official Expansion
The re-wording definitely helps, it's just a LOT of words.
I stumbled on: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=30540 this thread today that has a compendium of guidelines for making custom characters. I skimmed a chunk of it this morning and it definitely had some helpful tips on how to make your cards as consistent with the accepted wording as possible. Reading through it was helping give me ideas on how to turn a concepts into a cleanly worded ability. |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
Alright, so I've made 4 Squad creature units to accompany 2 of the planeswalkers I created on this thread. The other squad creatures are under construction. As always, I highly anticipate constructive criticism!
P.S. Also posted in an edit under the first post so people can see at a glance what I've got done and what I am working on. |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
REACH wording
I would suggest using the templating from 'Omnicron Snipers' Deadly Shot: When attacking with Omnicron Snipers, any skull rolled counts as one additional hit. (Note: Double the hits before defense dice are rolled. For example, if you roll one skull, two hits are made. If the opponent rolls only one shield, the defending figure takes one wound.) 'When attacking with Darkwoods Ranger, if the target figure has flying, any (Swords) rolled counts as one additional hit' Nightfall Predator - Revert - If a player casts two or more spells in one turn, Harvest of Flesh - I believe the proper wording would be 'remove all damage counters from each figure in this squad' or something similar. Vengevine - This seems super strong if it's a 3 figure squad and revive is guaranteed. If only a 2 fig squad could probably get bumped to 6 move. Seems like a D20 roll to the trigger would be a good solution for the revive. Being placed 4 hexes away is very very powerful, should likely be limited to adjacent to G/B planeswalker you control. I know the phoenix revive is extremely good and this unit is a much bigger threat + 4 spaces away lets you tie up their figures a lot more easily. Thraben Sentry - Wording on Vigilance took me a second to decipher if it meant 'roll again, ignore 1st shield you roll' or 'roll again with X-1 defense dice' I believe you intended the latter. You could also consider stealing Empress Kiova's reroll wording: 'When you roll defense dice for any Kyrie that you control who follows Einar and is within 5 clear sight spaces of Empress Kiova, you may re-roll all defense dice that did not show shields. Gift of the Empress Aura can be used only once for each defense roll' This is obviously a stronger ability, but I think the current wording isn't much of a buff if you look at it mathematically. Bloodbond Vampire - Bloodbond similar to harvest of flesh, I think wants to be worded 'Whenever a figure under your control removes damage counters, put a..... Agility - The new Kor Aeronaut captain in the expansion has this abillity: Ride the Currents: Whenever Kor Aeronaut Captain moves to a lower elevation during its movement for the first time each turn, it gets +3 Move until end of turn. Some similar wording to that is probably a more straightforward way to express what you're trying to do with agility. They look fun! Overall ideas all look good, it's just a pain to write them in game language Last edited by Kajoq; November 18th, 2015 at 07:52 AM. |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
Well just looking at Garruk, Primal Hunt seems a bit unflavorful.
Garruk, Primal Hunter 2GreenGreenGreen (5) Planeswalker — Garruk (3) +1: Put a 3/3 green Beast creature token onto the battlefield. −3: Draw cards equal to the greatest power among creatures you control. −6: Put a 6/6 green Wurm creature token onto the battlefield for each land you control. Magic 2013 (Mythic Rare) Other Versions Magic 2012 (Mythic Rare) Primal Huntbeast Primal Huntbeast 3Green (4) Creature — Beast (3/3) Hexproof (This creature can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control.) neither of these heal. How about calling it Death frenzy http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Ca...verseid=386513 seems more on point or search gatherer for green/lifegain. Great work, i enjoyed loooking at these builds |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
Got pre-occupied with finishing up my Associate's Degree at one college followed by trying and succeeding at getting accepted into University of Texas at Dallas for Game Design.
My next semester I will be taking Game Design 1 (since I completed Fundamentals for Game Design this past semester) which is literally design an Alpha and Beta for a custom boardgame of my own creation. As such, I will be picking this project back up for practice (not for homework) as a study in both Level Design with hexes but also Character Design and Game Balance with new Planeswalkers/Creatures/Heros/Spells (hopefully). During the winter break, I hope to re-hash these previous builds since they were designed BEFORE Shadows over Innistrad came out (which, isn't it kinda fricking cool that both my Transform ability appeared in the newest set???). I want to do this because with the release of many new Heroes and Multi-color Planeswalkers, I have ALOT more reference material to utilize while trying to find out the best way to balance. Stay tuned! |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
Ajani has several verants, one of my personal favorites is the
Ajani Vengent (young verson) shortly after his "Plainer Spark" was awakened, this is his White/Red verson before he went to his "×2 White" incarnations and evently his most common "×2 White/Green" incarnations. The Vengent verson is the one I am working on converting. |

Re: Un-Official Expansion
These are great! These customs deserve more attention from the AOTP and HeroScape blender community. AOTP is sorely missing the inclusion of more multicolored Planeswalkers, and these fill in the gap perfectly. I've already bought a few of the recommended minis and plan on printing these out soon. Did you ever hash out appropriate point costs for the 'Walkers?
I agree with Gairian1974 that an alternate Ajani could serve as a Red/White 'Walker (using the same figure). I'm tempted to make one myself, along with a Red/Blue Planeswalker. |

I'm inclined to agree after seeing all the great work that those groups have put in, but I admittedly have no experience with most of Magic and probably wouldn't be of much help. There would need to be a good number of people interested in continuing the game for such a project to really catch on. Proud Member of Platyfly!
