NationStates: The Trading Card Game

[Slaytesics]

Edited; five turn recharge time after it loses its effects(so seven turns total), would that work?

Make it 3 + the two turns, because 7 makes it useless

Alright Jenrak/Tos, here we go.

[Milograd]

puppetry is broken, you need to have a cost (like -1 defense for your opponent's next turn)

[Aldarminia]

[Aldarminia]

Defense: 6(or w/e)

[Type: M]

[Ability - Lightning Expeditionary Force]
If played at the beginning of a turn, except for the first turn of the game, all of your opponent's played cards automatically receive -1 to their defense.

[Berserker Assault, 2 Damage]

[Shock and Awe, 4 Damage]
This card is no longer resistant to Economic attacks on your opponent's next turn.

Shock and awe... you already don't have resistance to economic attacks, I'd say decrease resistance to all forms of attacks for your opponent's next turn, decrease your defense by 1 (my common critique for most people is that you need a cost)

Not an official answer but I'm pretty sure cards don't have costs, and defense is just HP so there would be no difference between a 6 and a 3 attacking a guy with defense 1-3 (e.g. either knocks him out). May be wrong, but that's my current understanding.

Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Also, it should be noted that not every attack needs to have a direct drawback. If I just keep drawing cards, I'd run out of cards in my deck, and that is something that you want to avoid. Also, puppetry is incredibly well named. I've talked to Jenrak/Tos about it, and if anything, the more broken detail of the Milograd card is that you can use Insixurxia and Ultimatum hand in hand for some incredible lulz. Regardless, it shouldn't be an issue. It just draws a card from the deck, nothing big.

Also, I must be the most broken card in the game. |:<

no, this is not good enough, disruptor cannon: WAY OVERPOWERED, remove the latter part about the enemy card taking double damage next turn. Gamma Irradiation, make it 3 damage, and +1 damage for 2 rounds, and I THINK it will be balanced

[Mount Shavano]

Pretty sure he does have resistance to economic attacks - it's a property of military cards.

oh, lol, thought your defense was seven, as long as puppetry is once per turn it's fine xD

[Astrolinium]

[Astrolinium]
Defense: 4
[Type: Political (P)]

[Yohannes]

Oh man, this is one of the best idea i have ever seen so far. Jenrak and Tos are amazing! XD

[Milograd]

Yeah, it really is quite an old game. [ Remember this Card? ]

[Heliocalypse]

Reposting with diff ability instead and restat some unbalanced abilities

[Nation Name] : Heliocalypse
Defense: 5
[Type: Economic (E), Political (P), Military (M)] : Military
[Ability - OPTIONAL] : Fire Support, adds additional +2 damage to selected military type allied cards in play while reducing their defense by 1 when activated. Can be used once every four turns. User can select up to five cards to give the buff. Effect non stackable and will negate any damage buff cards.
[Attack Name 1] : Laser Cannon : Deals 2 damage per usage.
[Attack Name 2] : Gamma Irradiation : Deals 3 damage to the target. Target will take additional +1 damage per turn for two rounds. Can only be used once every four turns.

[Goldsaver]

Edited; five turn recharge time after it loses its effects(so seven turns total), would that work?

Make it 3 + the two turns, because 7 makes it useless

Changed it, thanks for the advice.

Is this better? Could you explain what you mean by broken? :/
[Goldsaver]
Defense: 2
[Type:M]
[Ability - Suppression, lowers a chosen card's attack by one for two turns]
Attacks:
[Sharpshooting- Does 1 Damage to any enemy card]
[Clusterbomb- Does 2 Damage to a random enemy card]

Not an official answer, but I think now you've gone too far the other way. The accepted defense values are mostly in the 4-6 range except a few outliers - you can probably get away with a 4 instead of a two.

Suppression might be better off designating a new target every turn, just to simplify book-keeping.

Sharpshooting and Clusterbomb can probably each have their strength increased by one, and still be fine. I think that would be in line with the three example cards.

Moved defense up to three.
I'm not sure that would work for Suppression, should be inactive most of the time.
Sharpshooting should be kept where it is because it can target any card. Moved clusterbomb up to three.

Here's the up to date one:

[Goldsaver]
Defense: 3
[Type:M]
[Ability - Suppression, lowers a chosen card's attack by one for two turns; can only be used every five turns]
Attacks:
[Sharpshooting- Does 1 Damage to any enemy card]
[Clusterbomb- Does 3 Damage to a random enemy card, can only be used once]

[Mount Shavano]

Not beyond recognizing the guy in the picture.

[Nation Name] : Heliocalypse
Defense: 5
[Type: Economic (E), Political (P), Military (M)] : Military
[Ability - OPTIONAL] : Fire Support, adds additional +2 damage to all military type allied cards in play while reducing their defense by 1 when activated. Can be used once every four turns.
[Attack Name 1] : Laser Cannon : Deals 2 damage per usage.
[Attack Name 2] : Gamma Irradiation : Deals 3 damage to the target. Target will take additional +1 damage per turn for two rounds. Can only be used once every four turns.

Uh, I think defense is a good thing and damage is a bad thing - the ability would be counterproductive Your ability is confusingly worded. It's probably balanced without the ability tho, IM (entirely unofficial) O. I might also have slight concerns about bookkeeping related to ongoing damage if a card with ongoing damage hadn't already been accepted.

[Empire of Symphonia]

[Asian Federation of Symphonia]

Defense: 6 (Type P)

[Ability - Symphonian Politics]

I'm pretty confident this is overpowered. Unless I misunderstand something, it will beat any of the example cards every time as written, even if going second.

I'd guess it's somewhat OP, but I'd wait for an officially ruling before monkeying with it.
