Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I like the design. I'm willing to review it, but I think I agree with superfrog that the markers should have a different name.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
It is plainly not canonic to recycle a theme-y marker name like that.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I agree with the others. Please change the name of the markers.
As for using the destroyed figures instead of markers, that just causes a lot of problems. There are a few powers in existence (like Viking spirits) that dictate where a figure places itself other than its own card; a power that captures figures it kills is in direct opposition to such powers. It's a one-way street that's already been paved. (Soon to be renamed) Soul Markers are an elegant way to avoid that. |

I personally like the idea that a soul eater can counter a viking spirit by devouring the soul.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Agreed, and a good viking spirit counter is IMO overdue.
life's short, why not make an impact on the world? make some peoples lives better, have a few good laughs, and then when it's all over go out with BANG! |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
While it may be thematic to place a figure on their card, it is not practical in a tournament setting. I have seen people rush off and forget a figure many a time, and this could easily lead to someone else having your figure. Plus, fitting Nilfheim, Braxas, and Zelrig together on a card could be a bit difficult.
And it isn't liking Viking spirits are OP or anything. Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Your points are understandable so I will go ahead and update the card in my submission post to use "Spirit" Markers instead of "Soul" Markers. Not quite as perfect but close enough given the circumstances.
As far as a soul eater goes, I think that is a potentially interesting idea for a future custom but it remains outside the scope of what I'm looking for with this unit. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Personally, I would have rather had the markers stay Soul Markers. They get them the same way as Akumaken, so there's a connection there. They may use them for different things afterward, but they're still the same resource. Having every 'powered by the souls of their enemies' card have an increasingly obscure synonym for 'Soul' seems like a bad idea long term, and there is already precedence for two different powers using the same marker name.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Oh, which precedence do you refer to?

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I've given up explaining the difference between "precedents" and "precedence." I'd say something if it was on a card.
