Ideas and suggestions for different cards

[loud glade]

The cost reduction is interesting

[gusty steppe]

13/A- (following 13th option) Reduce their cost by 1. (all of the 3 cards)
(alternative variant)
a- Reduce their cost by 2.

[loud glade]

But probably exploitable somehow, it always is

[gusty steppe]

doubt it to be honest, it is not that supported

quite hard to draw bottom cards unless it is a specific draw

14- Buff; Repeat it if you control the frontline
(could be reworded)

[loud glade]

No I mean drawing a semi targeted card and reducing price is pretty good

[loud glade]

Interesting idea

But too good for a standard

[gusty steppe]

15- Buff; Get 1 extra kredits next turn. (damn you commandos)
(alternative variant)
a- Get 1 extra kredit next two turns (this is busted)

[gusty steppe]

fair

16- Buff; Get 0-1 kredits. (identical to 1st option)
(alternative variants)
a- Get 0-2 kredits.
b- Get 0-3 kredits.

17- Buff; Add a PLAN in your hand.
(alternative variant)
a- Add a PLAN in your hand and deck.

(this is getting quite long, here is the "second part" which are basically the same as all of previous ideas but with a "reworked" effect)

REWORKED

18- Rework; Instead of putting them at the bottom of your deck, but them back randomly.

(might be redundant to put the following variants, they are basically the same as previous ones)

[deft leaf]

Insane buff btw

[deft leaf]

This is better

[deft leaf]

Insane buff but probably the better one

2k for the classical effect is actually 100% efficient, because it accelerates your "Best Possible Topdeck"

Any of the proposed changes would be buffs. Alternatively, I'd propose reducing the cost of the card for holding the Frontline. Something along the lines of it costing 3k but costing 2k or 3k less if you hold the Frontline

Because many OTK combos and combo decks in general run Spoils of War to accelerate their trigger pull

[gusty steppe]

well yeah, thats why I've stated in (buff/"rework") that its mainly buffs, the "rework" is just a different but similar effect as the original.

and tbh, I almost did not see this order at all in otk decks, but ONE ROOF or other similar card draw orders.

that I do sincerily believe are more efficient, less punishing (by tempo) and with more synergy potential than this in its current form.

atleast with current cards available, who know maybe the devs add more cards supporting that effect, similarly to shuffle now.

[deft leaf]

I'm talking about a time before One Roof, when the Baby Combo was a thing

[gusty steppe]

well yes, but that was in the past, not really a thing today as far I've seen, maybe you are right and it is an incredible tool for (today) OTK decks, but I have no experience on that.

[deft leaf]

There's a less common Katyusha OTK with that Japanese buff order

!duty bound

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[deft leaf]

Before it got reserved, the same combo was done in a Soviet + Germany deck using this card as an enabler:

!patriotic firestorm

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[deft leaf]

And spoils of war was the card you'd use to fish your intended draw

[gusty steppe]

15 cm AUTOKANONE (nerf ideas)
As for this reserved artillery unit, at the start I thought it wasn't needed for it to be rotated, an I've read comments saying it was really busted for its price range/stats. But after some time I learnen why it would need a change like that, considering also the fact that it pairs too well with (Ja)ggro strategies. Here are my ideas to tone it down a little:

1-Nerf; Reduced damage to 2.

1/A- (following 1st option idea) Reduced damage to 1.
(alternative variant)
a- Also reduced cost to 2k. (to compensate)

2-Nerf; Increased op cost to 2k.

2/A- (following 2nd option idea)
(alternatives)
a- Reduced damage to 2.
b- Reduced damage to 1.
c- Reduced damage to 1 and cost to 2k.

3-Nerf; Increased cost to 4k.
(alternative variant)
a- Also increased op cost to 2k.

[proud basalt]

Either 4k or 3k 2op 2attack is good

Because they are on rate, and an elite with such a powerful effect should be on rate

!4k Japan arty

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 2

[proud basalt]

!3k arty

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 17, showing 1 - 5

[gusty steppe]

989. INFANTRY REGIMENT (nerf/"rework"/buff?)
     As for this reserved unit, I do believe it is one of the most busted cards Germany had/has, before rotation you could almost see atleast 1 of these in a German (main or ally) for its big stats, a simple conditional effect you could play around to get a big 3k(4) 5/5 infantry that could either stay in supportline, take the front or attack a unit there.
     Also, we have to consider that 304. PANZERGRENADIER technically has come to take its place as a replacement/compensation for those players that really liked to play with it, but with a more tricky effect.
     Taking that into account I do believe it was quite opressive, so here I share my ideas for a change when it comes back:

1- Nerf; Removed Blitz; On turn end, gets +2+2 if this was th only unit you deployed. (inspired effect from 18e RÉGIMENT)

1/A- (following 1st option) Not it has Blitz (or Shock)
(if both effects are present, its cost should be 4k instead)

1/B- Nerf/Buff?; (following 1st option) Besides base effect, if not triggered you can get the following effect instead:
a- Otherwise draw a card.
b- Otherwise add a PLAN in your hand.

1/C- Nerf/Buff?; (following 1st option and B variant type)
Now you can get as an alternative effect:
a- Otherwise add a RALLY in your hand.
b- Otherwise add a ROUT in your hand.

1/D- Nerf/Buff?; (following 1st option and B variant)
If alternative trigger effect, you get:
a- Otherwise add a copy of it in your hand.
b- Otherwise add a copy of it next to it. (quite busted)

1/E- Nerf/Buff?; (following 1st option) besides the normal buff effect, now it Fights a random enemy unit (pseudo removal card)

2- Rework/buff?; Removed Blitz and stat buff, replaced with: "On turn end, gets Guard if this was the only unit you deployed.
(for the German Guard haters hehe)

2/A- (following 1st option) Now it has either Blitz, Shock or Ambush.

2/B- Buff?; (following 2nd option and similar to 1/B variants)
Instead of regular trigger effect, you can get:
a- Otherwise draw a card.
b- Otherwise add a PLAN in your hand.
c- Otherwise add a RALLY in your hand.
d- Otherwise add a ROUT in your hand. (pseudo FLAMMPANZER there huh?)

2/C- Buff?; (following 2nd option and B variants)
Alternative effect:
a- Otherwise add a copy of it in your hand.
b- Otherwise add a copy of it next to it.

2/D- (following 2nd option); Otherwise it gets Shock.

2/E- (following 2nd option)
a- Otherwise it gets +3 attack.
b- Otherwise it gets +3 attack and Shock. (maybe its too much)

2/F- (following 2nd option; similar to E variant)
Alternative effect:
a- Otherwise it gets +3 defense. (converts into 980. VOLKSGRENADIER basically)
b- Otherwise it gets +3 defense and Shock. (2. MARINE DIVISION)

3- Rework/buff?; Takes -2 damage from enemy units.

3/A- (following 3rd option)
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Blitz.
b- Now it has Shock.
c- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

4- Rework/buff?; (similar to 3rd option) Takes -2 damage from units with equal or less cost than this.

4/A- (following 4th option)
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Blitz.
b- Now it has Shock.
c- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

5- Rework; Destruction: Add a -1-1 copy of this unit with -1 cost in your hand. (could be quite busted)

5/A- (following 5th option)
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Blitz.
b- Now it has Shock.
c- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

6- Rework; (similar to 5th option); Destruction: Add a -1-1 copy of this unit in your supportline.

6/A- (following 6th option)
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Blitz.
b- Now it has Shock.
c- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

[wet smelt]

Add a limiter if defense higher than 1, so it doesn't go infilite spawn 0/0

Other than that i like this option most

Maby with blitz

[gusty steppe]

wouldn't it destroy itself by that point?

I mean, I believe it would just dissapear
In any case, it could have in the same effect: Supress it if 1/1

[wet smelt]

But then next one would be created and destroyed etc.

[mint nacelle]

Probably not how that would work if it was in game. Thats just bad coding at that point

[wet smelt]

Sure, it can Just be coded without text on the vard

[mint nacelle]

This unit is not feasible because it becomes almost unkillable without suppress if you give it any extra defense. Kind of like old Cali

[mint nacelle]

Sorry, I meant bad design, as in why would you code/design the unit to infinitely die as a 0/0? It's pretty self explanatory that it wouldn't trigger the first time it spawns with 0 defense. There's no reason to force that interpretation, or code it to do that.

[deft leaf]

There's so many I kinda didn't wanna read it all, but lemme leave my two cents: conditional +2/+2 is great. The condition, not so much. I'd rather have this card have blitz if it's your only infantry and +2/+2 if you control a tank or fighter

[loud glade]

This card was actually pretty mid, only saw play on the old ger ita control simply because having no units on board is very hard for Germany

[loud glade]

From here on down all except 4a are pretty much unplayable , expect 6a-c

[proud basalt]

The problem with all these changes is that it doesn’t really fulfill the purpose that the original unit did

A 3/3 3k will never be useful to Germany, and it’s hard to strap utility to it when most German utility cards cost 2k and have similar stats

Maybe do a 3k 4/2 1op blitz

With the effect ‘when this unit enters the frontline, convert a random unit there into this’

Or …,convert a random unit there into a copy of itself with blitz

[gusty steppe]

ATLANTIC COMMAND (buff ideas)
I was quite unsure to share this one, but I do believe this cards is quite weak (to not say objectively unplayable) and I'm sure many would share that thought. While on paper it is a good effect for Navy decks for synergies, it practically does nothing on its own immediately like others in this expansion, so I thought some ideas so it can be viable while keeping the original concept:

1- Reduced cost to 0k.

[loud glade]

Still probably ass ngl

The problem is it goes -1 on cards for no reason

[gusty steppe]

2- Buff; Draw a card (insert original text)
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 0k.

[gusty steppe]

can you atleast wait hahahaah

thats not the only one

[loud glade]

0k draw is too much

[gusty steppe]

3- Buff; Deal 1 damage (then original effect).
(alternative variant)
1- Reduced cost to 0k. (similar to Dug in from Japan)

[loud glade]

Good idea

[gusty steppe]

4- Buff; Deal 1 damage to an unit (then the original effect)
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 0k. (Again, identical to Dug in)

5- Buff; (original effect here) Reduce their cost by 1.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduce their cost by 2.

5/A- (following 5th option) Reduced cost to 0k. (for both variants)

[loud glade]

That seems interesting

May be abusable

T3 hipper on the way

[gusty steppe]

6- Buff; (original effect here) Develop a German Navy card and shuffle it in your deck. (for the Develop haters hehe).

7- Buff; (original effect here) If atleast one is German, draw a card. (quite similar to 1st option but now it is more specific)

8- Buff/CHAOS; (original effect here) Add a 2. MARINE DIVISION in your hand. (could be into your deck too).

[loud glade]

I am the develop hater

[loud glade]

Draw is probably better for balance

[gusty steppe]

tbh I didn't think too much for this one (it is quite hot in here)

8/A- (following 8th option idea)
(alternative variants)
a- Add a 2. MARINE DIVISION into your deck.
b- Draw a 2. MARINE DIVISION from your deck. (kredits to FFF)

[wet smelt]

That Just shuffles them back away. You have to develop first and then move

[gusty steppe]

you are right, I forgot shuffle now means that the whole deck shuffles

until the expansion I interpreted it as "add this card into your deck" but more stylish

but it could be inverted

[gusty steppe]

CASE BLUE (buff ideas)
As for this Elite order, while it is an interesting design for those 4 attack unit decks from Blood and Iron that allows you to deal from 4 to 36 damage! (in theory) surpassing even Bismarck damage (back then 7, now 8) while being 1 kredit cheaper.
But it is still quite bad as it is quite difficult to set up a good board with many big units, either because heavy removal (any type you can think off) supression, etc.
So to make it a more useful and greater option, I've thought some ideas alongside @proud basalt to buff it:

1- Buff; Reduced cost to 7k (or 8k)
(this cost reduction could be applied for the following ideas coming next)

2- Buff; Deal 2 damage to target enemy unit for each unit you control. Deal 4 for each with 4 or more attack.
(damage is decreased but now it is tied to all units you control, no stats required, 4 damage is applied singularly)

2/A- (following 2nd option) (first part stays the same) Deal 4 if atleast one has 4 or more attack.

2/B- (following 2nd option idea) Increased damage to 3 for each unit you control. Deal 4 for each with 4 or more attack.

2/C- (following 2nd option, branch B) (first part stays the same); Deal 4 if atleast one has 4 or more attack.

3- Buff; (first part stays the same); The enemy loses a kredit slot.
(alternative variant)
a- The enemy loses two kredit slots.
(tried to make a version similar to Admiral hipper to deny slot gain, it didn't fit in the card properly)

4- Buff; (first part stays the same) The enemy discards a card. (simple change, similar to kriegsmarine)
(alternative variant)
a- If 4 damage or less, it discards two cards. (can be reworded, dunno how)

5- Buff; (first part stays the same); Add a TIGER I-H in your supportline.
(alternative variants)
a- Add a TIGER I-H in your hand.
b- Add a TIGER I-H in your hand and deck. (total of 2 units)

6- Buff; (first part stays the same) Add a PANZER IV-G in your supportline.
(alternative variants; similar to 5th ones)
a- Add a PANZER IV-G in your hand.
b- Add a TIGER I-H in your hand and deck. (a total of 2 units)

7- Buff; Reduced cost to 6k; Deal 2 damage to all enemies for each unit with 4 or more attack you control.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 7k.
b- Increased cost to 8k.
c- Cost could be restored (no image lol)
(credits to L is deuce)

7/A- (following 7th option idea) Increased cost to 7k; increased damage to 3.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 8k.
b- Increased cost to 9k.
c- Cost could be increased to 10k? (no image again lol)
(credits to L is deuce)

7/B- (following 7th option idea) Increased cost to 8k; Increased (restored) damage to 4.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased (Restored) cost to 9k.
b- Increased cost to 10k.
c- Cost could be even higher.
(credits to L is deuce)

8- Buff/Rework; Remove the top 10 cards of your deck. Deal 4 damage to all enemies for each unit wiht 4 or more attack.
(alternative variant)
a- Cost increased to 10k. (could be higher)
(basically the offensive counterpart of Alpenfenstung, cards removed, cost, damage, and type of targeting could be adjusted)
(credits to L is deuce)

[deft leaf]

Definitely needs to be cheaper. Let's compare Bismarck, Kriegsmarine and this.

I'm using Air Blitz as baseline: 1k = 1dmg

Bismarck gives 10k = 8dmg (40% of base HP), which is not the most efficient but it's a great finisher.

Case Blue currently gives you conditional damage. If you have 2 this +4atk, you're 1k cheaper than Bismarck.

Kriegsmarine is even more conditional: 7k, matches Bismarck of opponent has 8 cards.

See the problem? Kriegsmarine is as efficient (in terms of kredits) as Bismarck at 6 cards in the enemy hand (and 100% efficient with 7 cards).

This means case blue would need to cost 8k in order to be 100% efficient given the conditional, and I think this is the way to go.

Otherwise, lower cost to 7k and damage to 3.

[gusty steppe]

the cost reduction is the most simple yet efficient change, but I think the damage should stay the same, given the amount of removal and control cards currently it is quite difficult to keep more than 1 unit with 4 or more attack consistently until 9th turn and beyond.

[arctic storm]

I'd go with the buff to 8K. Imo, CASE BLUE doesn't even need a big buff. Only thing I could think of except for -1K cost is probably one of the following 2: "Enemy discards a card." or "Draw a card." in addition to the existing effect.

[dapper pewter]

This is basically old case yellow

[gusty steppe]

but with more damage and with Elite rarity

(and high cost)

[gusty steppe]

EAGLE DAY (buff & rework ideas)
sweeping some dust here and there
As for todays' suggestion, I bring into table this interesting order, which in my opinion is a really cool concept, a budget (basically non-elite) order that turns any (german) air unit in hand into a Komet, but you need to pay a higher price to use it in contrast.

The problem is, german air sucks terrible, this card is too unconsistent for the job it is supposed to do (removal, hitting face, etc.). So I propose a handful of ideas to make this card a good option for an alternative (and probable) air german deck in the future:

1- Buff; Reduced cost to 4k.
(as always, going from something simple to the most complex ones, you'll see)
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 3k.

2- Buff; Added Shock besides Blitz effect.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

3- Buff; Now it reduces its operation cost to 0, alongside Blitz of course.
(no cost reduce alternative, it is too good like this)

4- Buff; Now it adds both Shock and free operation cost alongside Blitz.
(maybe in this case its too good, it could have a cost increase to 6k)

5- Rework; Add two JU 87 B STUKA in the supportline
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.
(inspired by the damned AIR COVER order from US as also a very similar idea by @proud basalt)

5/A- Buff; (following 5th option) Return them to your hand at the end of next turn.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

6- Rework; Add two JU 87 B STUKA with Blitz in the supportline.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

6/A- Buff; (following 6th option) Return them to your hand at the end of turn. (skipped the "the" oops)
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

6/B- Buff; (following 6th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

7- Rework; Add two JU 87 B2 in the supportline.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

7/A- Buff; (following 7th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

8- Rework; Add two JU 87 B2 with Blitz in your supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

8/A- Buff; (following 8th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

8/B- Buff; (following 8th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

9- Rework; Add a JU 87 B STUKA and JU 87 B2 in the supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
(this was the original idea that @proud basalt proposed me)

9/A- Buff; (following 9th option) Return them to your hand at the end of next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

10- Rework; Add a JU 87 B STUKA and JU 87 B2 with Blitz in the supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

10/A- Buff; (following 10th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

10/B- Buff; (following 10th option) Return them to your hand at the end of the next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

11- Rework (not a copy); For three turns your HQ has: "At the start of your turn, add a JU 87 B STUKA in your supportline".

11/A- (somewhat following 11th idea) ...add a JU 87 B STUKA in your hand".
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

12- Rework (this is a copy lol); Similar thing as 11th idea but with JU 87 B2 instead.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

12/A- Buff; (following 12th option) ...add a JU 87 B2 in your hand.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

13- Rework; For three turns your HQ has: "At the start of your turn, add either a JU 87 B2 or JU 87 B STUKA in the supportline".
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.

13/A- Buff; (following 13th option) ...yada yada add them to your hand.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 4k.
b- Reduced cost to 3k.

14- Rework; For three turns your HQ has: "At the start of your turn, deal 3 damage to a random enemy unit".
(alternative variant)
a- ....to a random enemy (prioritizes units).

RETALIATION (buff ideas)
[Oh no! a cm buff suggestion! it will destroy the game!]
Ok seriously, as for this this card, I personally believe this is one the worst countermeasures (alongside LURE) you could use either in built decks or by Develop (aufklarung atm).
Too expensive and by its nature it only works as an afterwards punishment to the enemy, but it cannot prevent anything or be useful if lethal damage is done, or just deal really low damage numbers to laugh at it.
So to make it a better option in general, I though some ideas for it, be objective about your opinion:

1- Reduced cost to 1k.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 0k.

1/A- Added "Draw a card"
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

2- After a friendly unit or your HQ takes damage, deal equal damage to the enemy HQ.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

2/A- (following 2nd option) Added "Draw a card".
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

3- After your HQ takes damage, deal equal damage to a random enemy unit and HQ.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

3/A- (following 3rd option) Added: "Draw a card".
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

4- After your HQ takes damage, deal equal damage to the enemy HQ and the damaging unit if possible (could be reworded).
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

4/A- (following 4th option) Added: "Draw a card".
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 0k.

5- (original effect here) Add a German unit with equal cost to the supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- Add it to your hand instead.

6- After your HQ is damage, deal equal damage to the enemy HQ and all enemy units. (could be reworded into "all enemies" lol )
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 3k.
b- Increased cost to 4k.
c- Maybe increased cost to 5k. (no image)

7- (original effect here) The enemy discards a card with cost equal or less. (could be reworded?)
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 3k.
b- Increased cost to 4k.

[wet smelt]

I like option 6 for 3k

[deft leaf]

Same. It's more fair

[deft yarrow]

4/Ab

we like 0k otk

[proud basalt]

I think 2K 'After your HQ is dmg'd, deal equal dmg to all units in the frontline. Excess dmg is dealt to the hq'

that way it feels like actual retaliation

compared to domething like freindly fire or a board clear disguised as a CM

[gusty steppe]

thats true... I thought of making another similar that says smth like "Distribute damage to all enemies" alongside the HQ damage, but that could be pretty horrible.

[proud basalt]

You can use my suggestion if you wish

[gusty steppe]

would be better if it says "to all enemy units", if it affects both sides it would be even worse.

[proud basalt]

Except you can use cheap 1 defence units to burn for maximum dmg to the enemy hq

[gusty steppe]

by that point, you'll be better using finnland cms than building all that setup

[gusty steppe]

GATHERING STORM (buff ideas)
This is an interesting order to think about, on one hand and in theory, this is an spectacular card, being able to draw 4 specific units out of your deck and building it (slightly) around it to ensure good draws is a good effect, won't deny that.

But personally (and as far as I've seen lately) nobody uses it for a simple reason, why bothering using such an expensive card that may not draw anything if you run out of a certain unit type?
You are better using cheaper alternatives like Enigma (for Germany) or others like CONVOY HX 175.

So here I bring some changes that could be done to this card to make it more viable and useful in general (considering that Germany does lack draws):

1- Reduced cost to 7k.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 6k.

2- (insert original effect here); Get 2 kredits for each not drawn.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 7k.
b- Reduced cost to 6k.

3- Buff; Reduced cost to 0k; (insert original effect here); +2 cost for each type in your deck.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost increase by 1.
[Essentially it'll cost 8 (or 4) if you have all of the units in deck, for each unavailable, the cost would drop by 2.

3/A- (following previous option; alternative A)
a- Increased cost to 1k.
b- Increased cost to 2k.
c- Increased cost to 3k.
d- Increased cost to 4k.
(this could be done with the +2 effect option)

4- (insert original effect here); Get +1 kredits next turn for each not drawn.
(alternative variants)
-... Get +2 kredits....
-... Get +3 kredits....
(credits to @proud basalt)

4/A- (following 4th option and variants) Reduced cost to 7k for all.

4/B- (following 4th option and variants) Reduced cost to 6k for all.

5- (insert original effect here) Draw a card for each not drawn.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 7k.
b- Reduced cost to 6k.
[yeah yeah, it ends up being a LEND LEASE but with extra steps]

6- (instert original effect here) Your HQ gets +1 defense for each not drawn.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased healing to +2.
b- Increased healing to +3.
c- Increased healing to +4.

STURM-BRIGADE RHODOS (buff ideas)
[I've shared a "rework" post before but it is bad, here the remake lol]
As for this unit, one may think that in its current form its more than enough for cm decks (similarly to 34th GUARDS), but for that you need a really good amount of luck both by specific card draw, cm triggered and this unit in hand all at once, which is not that consistent.
On top of that, as it is just a really big infantry with nothing else, it is vulnerable to anything that can control the board, Pins, Retreat, Removal, damage, etc.
So to make a better unit in general here are my ideas to spice it up a little more (not to mention is cool as hell):

1- Deployment: Fight target enemy unit.
(I would have written something like "If cost 5 or more" or similar, but there is not enough space in the card, and it looks bad with 4 sentences)

2- Deployment: Draw a card.
(alternative variant)
a- Draw a countermeasure.

2/A- (following 2nd option and variant) Draw 2 cards (or countermeasures)

3- Deployment: Deal 1 damage to an unit. (cannot have "enemy unit" but it doesn't fit)
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
3- Deal 4 damage...

4- Deployment: Deal 1 damage to an enemy. (HQ couldn be targeted btw)
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...

5- Develop a German light tank.
(would also made a Develop a german countermeasure, but it cannot fit)

6- Deployment: Target enemy units retreats
(cm related PANZER IV F2 basically, could be considered powercreeped?)

7- Deployment: Gets Guard if cost 5 or more.
(alternative variant)
a- ....if cost 7 or more.

7/A- (following the 7th concept) Deployment: Gets Shock if cost 5 or more.
(alternative variant)
a- ... if cost 7 or more.

[silver path]

I hope it you don't suggest this at all but if enemy trigger a cm discard a random card from the enemy hand

[gusty steppe]

thats horrible (for this card)

[silver path]

So you play a order and a cm triggers and one of your cards get discard

[gusty steppe]

but it would be a good option for blohm and voss

[silver path]

Yea

[gusty steppe]

(i'll save that for later)

[silver path]

It's make Cm into a discard/cm deck where it's so toxic

And really hope there can be a card like "Draw a card when you make the enemy discard a card."

[gusty steppe]

8- Deployment: Activate a countermeasure.
(tried giving it the KURMARK AUFKLÄRUNG effect, it cannot fit)

9- Now it has Shock. (more raw power basically)
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Ambush.
b- Now it has Smokescreen.

10- Takes -1 damage from orders.
(alternative variants)
a- Takes -2 damage from orders.
b- Takes -3 damage from orders. (this might be too much)

[deft leaf]

just increase the trigger effect to -3k cot and increase op cost by 1

two countermeasures says you could drop this by turn 3, problem solved

[gusty steppe]

10/A- (following 10th concept) Takes -1 damage but from combat (basically anything that is not combat damage, could be reworded)
(alternative variants)
a- Takes -2 damage...
b- Takes -3 damage...

[gusty steppe]

you are still heavily tied to rng to make it work, specially against fast paced decks or one sided (orders).

and it'll be worse with 2 op

easy to control

11- Deployment: Supress target enemy unit.

12- At the end of your turn, draw a card.
(alternative variant)
a- At the start of your turn, draw a card.

[gusty steppe]

HEINKEL HE 219 (buff ideas; and 2 reworks)
[yup, another reupload, but now with even more spice!]
As for this (now reserved) fighter, I have to say that I could personally say it is my favorite unit in the game, and thats because its technically (and literally) the only passive defencea against fast attacks like (ja)ggro or commandoes, in a nation which has no self healing or guards.
But even then its effect is quite mediocre, incapable of pairing up with damage going from 2 or above from ground units to retaliate against the enemy (not to mention its effect ignoring air units).
So to make this beauty a good option at his return, here are my ideas:

1- Increased passive damage to 2.
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 3 damage...
b- Deal 4 damage...

2- Nerf??; Now it only triggers with enemy ground units.
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

3- Now it also deals damage to the damaging unit alongside the enemy HQ.
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

4- Similar to 3rd option, but now it only triggers with enemy ground units.
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

5- After your HQ is damaged by an enemy unit (except HEINKEL HE 219), deal 1 damage to the enemy HQ.
[basically its the older version, but with 4k instead of 5k]
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damag...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

5/A- (following 5th concept) Now it triggers from any type of damage from the enemy.
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

5/B- (following 5th concept) Now it triggers after a friendly unit is damaged by the enemy (in any player turn).
(alternative variant)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

5/C- (following 5th concept) Now it not only triggers after the enemy damages a friendly target, but it also damages the source alongside the HQ (can damage the HQ twice if an order or so)
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 2 damage...
b- Deal 3 damage...
c- Deal 4 damage...

6- Rework; Once per turn when your HQ is damaged, deal equal to the enemy HQ.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it triggers twice per turn.
(could have a cost increase)

6/A- (following 6th concept) Now it excludes HEINKEL HE 219 from triggering its effect.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it triggers twice per turn.

7- Rework; After your HQ is damaged by a ground unit, this unit gets +1+1.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it gets +1+2.
b- Now it gets +2+1.
c- Now it gets +2+2.

7/A- (following 7th option) Now it also gets Shock.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it gets +1+2.
b- Now it gets +2+1.
c- Now it gets +2+2.

8- Rework; (basically 7th concept); Now it only triggers from enemy ground units.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it gets +1+2.
b- Now it gets +2+1.
c- Now it gets +2+2.

8/A- (following 8th concept) Now it gets Shock.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it gets +1+2.
b- Now it gets +2+1.
c- Now it gets +2+2.

JUNKERS JU 188 E (buff ideas)
As for this unit, I have to say that on paper it is not a bad unit, but it suffers from what I do personally call the "Panther D syndrome", where while powerful as a unit, it its prone to be destroy by removal orders (not supression lol) or targeted by enemy units making it more of a high cost "taunt" like unit.

It is not bad, but it is not good as intended, and rarely you could make use of it effectively, so me and @proud basalt thought some approaches to make it a good choice for more heavy unit decks to be worth picking:

1- Reduced cost to 6k. (pretty meh)
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Smokescreen but no Fury (basically the 88 A version but bigger)

1/1- (real option) Now it has Smokescreen (alongside Fury)
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 8k.
b- Increased cost to 9k.

2- At the end of your turn set a random enemy unit damage to 0 until your next turn. (could also be at the start, but it'll end up being the same thing again)

2/A- (following 2nd option concept) Deployment: Set all enemy units damage to 0 until next turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Also affects units in enemy hand (screw you blitz).

3- Cannot be targeted by enemy orders.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 8k.
b- Increased cost to 9k.
c- Possibly a higher increase (no image).

4- Reduced cost to 6k; Deals 2 less damage against the enemy HQ.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced cost to 5k.

4/A- (following 4th concept) Increased damage reducer to 5. (could go in between 2 or 5)
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 5k.
b- Reduced cost to 4k. (lol)

5- When this unit is targeted by an enemy order, the enemy discards a card.
(alternative variants)
a- When this unit is targeted by the enemy, the enemy discards a card. (anything, orders, deployments, unit attacks, etc)
b- ...Draw a card. (lol, it is a flying T-34-85)

6- Ignores Smokescreen.
(alternative variants)
a- Ignores enemy fighters.
b- Ignores enemy fighters and Smokescreen.

7- Has Blitz if the enemy controls a fighter.
(alternative variants)
a- ....and -1 operation cost...
b- ....and -2 operation cost...
c- ....and -3 operation cost...

8- If in your hand, this unit costs 1 less for each unit type you control.
(alternative variant)
a- ...Costs 2 less...

8/A- (following 8th idea) Now bombers doesn't reduce its cost.
(alternative variant)
a- ...Costs 2 less...

9- If in your hand, this unit costs 1 less each time your countermeasure triggers.
(alternative variant)
a- ...costs 2 less.
[its cost could be increased, atleast 9 if necessary]

10- Deployment: Destroy target enemy unit with cost 3 or less.
(alternative variant)
a- Increased removal range to 4. (could have a cost increase).

10/A- (following 10th concept) Supress target enemy unit, if it has cost 3 or less destroy it instead. (basically, PUMMEL)
(alternative variant)
a- Increased range effect to 4. (this needs a higher cost)

11- Deployment: Destroy all enemy units with cost 1 or less.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost range to 2.
b- Increased cost range to 3. (lol its a better MAUS).

12- Deployment: Target enemy unit returns to its owner's hand.
(alternative variant)
a- Can only target enemy units.
[it ends up being a better JAGDBOMBER]

13- When an enemy unit with cost 4 or less attacks this unit, destroy it afterwards.
(alternative variant)
a- When an unit with 4 cost or less attacks this unit, it is destroyed first.

14- Deployment: The enemy discards a card.

14/A- (following 14th concept) Deployment: The enemy discards an order.
(alternative variant)
a- ...discards two orders.

14/B- (following 14th concept) Deployment: The enemy discards an unit.
(alternative variant)
a- ...discards two units.

14/C- (following 14th concept) Deployment: The enemy discards an order and an unit.

15- Deployment: Deal 2 damage to all enemies.
(alternative variant)
a- Deal 2 damage to all enemy units.

16- Cannot be targeted by enemy infantry or tanks units.
(alternative variant)
a- Cannot be targeted by enemy infantry or tank units with cost 4 or less.

17- Can counterattack
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Ambush.
[lol, this pales in comparison with the madness from above]

18- Can only be targeted by enemy units and orders with cost 4 or more.

19- When this unit is targeted by an enemy order, add a ME BF 109 E in your supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- ...in your hand.

19/A- (following 19th option) Also triggers from enemy deployment effects.
(alternatiev variant)
a- ...in your hand.

[deft yarrow]

19

19 options is crazy

[gusty steppe]

19/B- (following 19th option) Now it triggers from any enemy targeting.
(alternative variant)
a- ...in your hand.

20- Deployment: Choose one - Shuffle 4 DIVE BOMBING OR 4 GLIDE BOMBING in your deck.
(alternative variants)
a- Shuffle 4 DIVE BOMBING...
b- Shuffle 4 GLIDE BOMBING...

21- Destruction: Convert an air unit in your hand into this unit.
(alternative variant)
a- ...a German air unit...
[didn't think it until now, it could also convert a card in your deck if available]

[proud basalt]

10(A) my beloved

[polar salmon]

Schwable combo. 4/5 plane or 5/4 plane with 6 op

[polar salmon]

For junkers I have an idea. Deployment. Deal 4 damage to a random enemy unit.

[deft leaf]

I like the idea of Junkers getting suppress or destroy if cost -3

[proud basalt]

Good to know I have good taste

[deft leaf]

Damn! This is worthy of an elite

[silver path]

I agree with that and it's make that tank very useful

[gusty steppe]

this is an interesting idea

[proud basalt]

IMO its still way too slow, especially compared to a panther D or the goofy train

[gusty steppe]

BLOHM & VOSS BV 138 (buff & rework ideas)
[booooooo! another countermeasure related suggestion to buff!]
(early halloween edition lol)
As for this reserved fighter, when one take a quick glance at it, you think "well, this is a very good tool for cm decks! right?", well no, it is one of the most mediocre (at best) cards in game, specially from an Elite card.
Starting of its 3k, 2op and 2/4 you have a terrible unit to use offensively or defensively (against bombers), so it falls behind ME BF 109 E, and its draw effect its too unconsistent as you need your countermeasures to trigger, which is not guaranteeed, specially early on where you do not have many options to choose.
So to make this potentially good card into an actual good card, I've thought some ideas for it (as always, from simple to complex):

1- Buff; Reduced operation cost to 1k.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced cost to 2k.
b- Reduced both deployment and operation cost to 2k.

1/A- (following 1st idea concept/idea line)

b- Increased damage to 3 and reduced operation cost to 1k.
c- Increased stats to 3/5. (quite big for 3k)

2- Buff; Now it has Ambush.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced op cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 2k.
c- Reduced both deployment and op cost by 1.

(alternative variant)
a- Reduced op cost to 1k.

b- Reduced cost to 2k.
c- Reduced both deployment and op cost by 1.

3/A- (following 3rd option) Increased damage to 3.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced op cost by 1.

4- Buff; (merging both 2nd and 3rd options) Now it has both Ambush and Shock.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced op cost to 1k.
b- Reduced cost to 2k.
c- Reduced both deployment and op cost by 1.

4/A- (following 4th option) Increased damage to 3.
(alternative variants)
a- Reduced op cost to 1k.

5- Rework; Your countermeasures cost 1 less to activate.
(alternative variants)
a- ...Cost 2 less....
b- ...Cost 3 less....

5/A- (following 5th option) Reduced op cost to 1k.
(alternative variants)
a- ...Cost 2 less....
b- ...Cost 3 less....

5/B- (following 5th option) Reduced cost to 2k.
(alternative variants)
a- ...Cost 2 less....
b- ...Cost 3 less....

6- Rework; (basically the same thing as 5th but now the original effect) Your countermeasures cost 1 less to activate. Draw a card when the enemy trigger them.
(alternative variants)
a- ...Cost 2 less....
b- ...Cost 3 less....

6/A- (following 6th option) Reduced op cost to 1k.
(alternative variants)

6/B- (following 6th option) Reduced cost to 2k.
(alternative variants)
a- ...Cost 2 less....
b- ...Cost 3 less....

7- Rework; Deal 2 damage to the enemy HQ when it triggers your countermeasure.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased damage effect to 3.
b- Increased damage effect to 4.

7/A- (following 7th option; merging with original effect) Also draw a card.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased damage effect to 3.
b- Increased damage effect to 4.

8- Rework; (basically 7th option but it triggers once per turn instead)
(alternative variants)
a- Increased damage effect to 3.
b- Increased damage effect to 4.
c- Increased damage effect to 5. (as it is more limited, it may be busted)

8/A- (following 8th option, merging with original effect) Now draw a card when it triggers.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased damage effect to 3.
b- Increased damage effect to 4.
c- Increased damage effect to 5. (this might be too busted)

9- Rework; When the enemy triggers your countermeasure, deal X to its HQ, where X is equal to its cost.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 4k.
b- Increased cost to 5k.

9/A- (following 9th option) Now it only triggers once per turn.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 4k.
b- Increased cost to 5k. (this might not be necessary in this case)

10- Rework; Deployment: Develop a German countermeasure.
(alternative variant)
a- Added: Repeat this effect when the enemy triggers your countermeasure.
b- (would added, "Once per turn" but there is not enough space)

11- Buff/Reword (lol); Deployment: Draw a card. Repeat this effect when the enemy triggers your countermeasure. [basically the same thing as the original, but now it has a deployment effect]
(alternative variant)
a- Draw a countermeasure.

12- Rework; First countermeasure you activate this turn costs 0. (could be reworded?)
(alternative variant)
a- Added: Draw a card when the enemy triggers your countermeasure. (could have a cost increase).

13- Rework; Your countermeasures can be triggered on your turn[(I absolutely no idea how it would work out with some cms, but it could be interesting]
(alternative variant)
a- Added: Draw a card when the enemy triggers your countermeasure.

14- Rework; Your countermeasures trigger twice.
(alternative variant)
a- Added: Draw a card when the enemy triggers your countermeasure. (it should only draw one card)

14/A- (following 14th option and merging 5th option) Your countermeasures cost 1 less to activate and trigger twice (could be reworded)
(alternative variants)
a- ...cost 2 less...
b- ...cost 3 less...

15- Rework; Once per turn, when your countermeasure triggers, add a copy of it in your hand. [could have a cost increase, I mean the unit]
(alternative variants)
a- Add it in your hand and activate it.
b- Add it into your deck.

[deft leaf]

That effect of creating a copy of rather diabolical

[silver path]

Okay so is this all for the aircraft?

[deft leaf]

Yeah, our dear Jonathan is inspired these days

[silver path]

He forgot one tbh

[deft leaf]

I quite like the free countermeasure trigger as well

[gusty steppe]

it would be too much

[silver path]

Fair

[gusty steppe]

imagine triggering

3 0k cms

all hand wiped out

that is definitely not fair

[silver path]

I am meaning not that

But a cm is trigger the enemy discard a card

[gusty steppe]

thats what I mean?

for each cm triggered, 1 discard

thats a lot

[silver path]

Yea true without it's can be trigger once per turn

[gusty steppe]

once per turn is a good addition

you know what, screw it I'm doing it

let cms rule all!

[silver path]

I mean if it was like that than it's really high target to deal with fast as your able to

If it once per turn it still a high target

[gusty steppe]

germany/uk cm deck with anti orders and such

[silver path]

Yea true

But soviet has a deployment way to deal with it

but uk has a order to deal with that

[gusty steppe]

16- Rework; When the enemy triggers your countermeasure, they must discard a card.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 4k.
b- Increased cos to 5k.
[blame @silver path for making me remember lol]

16/A- (following 16th option) Now it only triggers once per turn.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 4k.
b- Increased cost to 5k.

17- Rework; (similar to 16th option) When the enemy triggers you countermeasure, Convert a random card in their hand into PRODUCTION.
(alternative variants)

17/A- (following 17th option) Now it trigger once per turn.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased cost to 4k.
b- Increased cost to 5k.

361. AFRIKA REGIMENT (buff & "rework" ideas)
     As for this unit, I always found interesting how its mechanic worked at the start of the game (new player by that point), but it always bugged me how slow and weak it was to trade out with other units of its same cost or even lower, and that makes it quite fall behind other units on the 3k range.
     So to make it slighlty better, and following its "chaotic and frenzy combat style", I though some slight changes it could have:

1- Buff; Now it has Blitz
[maybe its defense or damage effect could be reduced by 1]
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

1/A- (following 1st option) Increased cost to 4k.
[it may be weaker than other 4k infantry, it may need a slight stat increase]
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

2- "Rework"; When this unit moves into the frontline, deal 3 damage to a random enemy [basically, anything in the supportline]

2/A- (following 2nd option) Now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

2/B- (following 2nd option) Increased cost to 4k; now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

3- "Rework"; When this unit moves into the frontline, target an enemy and deal 3 damage to it.
[many things could be reduced here, damage effect, stats, or make it only target enemy units]

3/A- (following 3rd option) Now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

3/B- (following 3rd option) Increased cost to 4k; Now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

[proud basalt]

@gusty steppe can I give my opinion now?

[gusty steppe]

sure

[proud basalt]

Oop

Uhm better late then never I guess

Well uhm giving this blitz in any capacity is quite insane

3 dmg isn’t something to laugh at, and with the current meta severely hindering midrange decks from securing/ holding the frontline, a blitz unit that deals dmg to the hq when it moves is too strong

.
I would say the best way to make it viable is give it 0op and shock (at 4k)

This would make it much easier to get the damage, but also doesn’t get rid of the enemies way of counterplay. Additionally once it reaches the frontline it’s still a threat, as 0op units can sail on the hq without spending additional kredits

Either that or shock and ‘can move and attack during the same turn’ (severely punishing players for not trying to counter it, while letting it take the frontline if it destroys the only unit in it)

[deft leaf]

I think it should have ambush

There's so many cool Frontline shifting mechanics buried down these days

[gusty steppe]

ambush practically became obsolete with Shock

its no longer useful

unless Shock is nerfed (and I mean that interaction)

[deft leaf]

Okay then hear me out

Deals 3dmg to enemy hq when moves into Frontline, fully repairs when retreated

[gusty steppe]

that could be interesting with uk or italy ally

[gusty steppe]

4- Buff; (original effect here) Fully repair this unit if it Retreats.
[credits to @deft leaf]

4/A- (following 4th option) Now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.
[could have their cost increased to 4k, too lazy to do those images lol]

[silver path]

I have a idea for this tbh but it's be to weird

"Deployment: Deal 3 damage to the HQ if this is your only unit."

[gusty steppe]

too powerful

unless cost is increased to 4k

[silver path]

it's be at 4k

[gusty steppe]

that might be interesting

[silver path]

Because you got to play around why if you have a other unit down it's come useless to play

and does nothing but if you control no unit than it's deal 3 damage to the HQ

I got this idea from %989. INFANTRY REGIMENT%

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[silver path]

Plus you can't spammed it out one after other because it's only trigger if this is your only unit

[deft leaf]

But it can: U-16 works on friendlies and the Germany navy burn deck is already rather efficient

[silver path]

I get it but it's 4k do 3 deal damage to your HQ if this is your only unit

So if you playing Navy burn it's can work but you can't use any navy burn guys with it so most likely no other than one or something

[gusty steppe]

5- Rework; Deployment: Deal 3 damage to the enemy HQ if this is your only unit.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Shock.
[credits to @silver path]

5/A- (following 5th option) Increased cost to 4k.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Shock.
[this will be the last]

KURMARK AUFKLÄRUNG (buff ideas)
[third spooky edition of "the OP wants to buff cm decks"!,
now featuring "White Death Junior"}
Ok in al seriousnes, as for this card, I wont say it is weak because it is not bad (partially), but I do believe as far as my experience goes, the only reason this unit can be "busted" is because the nature of the card "A BRIDGE TOO FAR", which does trigger no matter what (unless Japan (jaggro) bs).
But outside of that, if you use it with any other countermeasure, while free, you may end up wasting this effect if the enemy do not trigger it. Besides, its Alpine effect is redundant, there are far better options than this for that deck.
So here are my ideas for it to be more useful, with an additional bonus for alpine decks too, why not?:
[disclaimer, there would be only 3 (4) actual ideas, the variants are just (probable) amalgamations to give flavour]

1- Reduced cost to 2k.

2- Added; Deployment: Choose a countermeasure in hand and reduce its cost by 1; (insert original effect here).
(alternative variants)
a- Increased effect to 2.
b- Increased effect to 3.

2/A- (following 2nd option) Now it has Blitz.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased effect to 2.
b- Increased effect to 3.

2/B- (following 2nd option) Now it has Shock.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased effect to 2.
b- Increased effect to 3.

2/C- (following 2nd option) Now it has Ambush.
(alternative variants)
a- Increased effect to 2.
b- Increased effect to 3.

3- (Amalgamation); Alongside original effect now it can either have:

• Blitz
• Shock
• Ambush
• Fury
  [then any combination of all of these (no past 2 additional keywords), if its too much skip to 4th option]

3/A- (following 3th option)
BLITZ variant tree:
a- Now it has both Blitz and Shock.

[gusty steppe]

wait a sec, lemme finnish this

4- (insert original effect here) Repeat this effect if it was not triggered
[could be reworded?]

[prime iron]

Oh boy

[gusty steppe]

4/D- (following 4th option) Lol last variant, it has both Fury and Shock (other Shock related cards were mentioned already)

@silver path your go

[silver path]

"Deployment: Choose a countermeasure in hand. Activate it at the end of your turn. if it doesn't get trigger than deal 3 damage to the HQ." do note you keep the cm

[gusty steppe]

simple yet effective

now that gave me another idea

[silver path]

Yea and so if it doesn't get trigger than you deal 3 damage for free and keep a the cm to

[gusty steppe]

"if it was not triggered, the enemy discards a card" OR "draw a card"

those will be coming right up

[silver path]

Or worst than that

"If it was not triggered, destroy a random enemy unit and gain 3 kredits for it."

[gusty steppe]

too much text

it ends up with 4 sentences

but the first part works well enough

or the second one... mh

4 new ideas coming right up

[silver path]

Fair

Or it's can do something like "If it was not triggered than add 2 alpine units to the frontline if possible."

[gusty steppe]

remember the space limitation

[silver path]

I do

So that's why I said if possible

[gusty steppe]

I came up with a quick solution that does that

"If not triggered, duplicate this unit" (once or twice)

5- Buff; (insert original effect here) If not triggered (insert effect).
(alternative variants)
a- Deal 3 damage to the enemy HQ.
b- The enemy discards a card.
c- Draw a card.
d- Add a copy of it in your hand. (duplicate the selected countermeasure)

5/A- (following 5th variant list)
e- Add a copy of it into your deck.
f- Get 3 kredits next turn.
g- Duplicate this unit. (once or twice, there is another image but I did not upload it for the sake of simmetry)
h- Destroy a random enemy unit.

[blame @silver path for this monstrosities lol]

[polar salmon]

3k blitz same effect

[fathom yacht]

wait when did they buff afrika i swear it always did 2 damage

[mint nacelle]

Always did 3, they just gave it +1 defense

[proud basalt]

I have no opinion on cm-based units

[gusty steppe]

(QUICK QUESTION)
How good was LURKING DANGER on the past? was it worth to use? it was busted or a waste of kredits?

[prime iron]

Pretty damn good

Was used in Ger control for a reason

Fishing out 2 CMs you can use

[gusty steppe]

objectively, considering today's meta and cards, it would need any type of change or no?

[gusty steppe]

980. VOLKSGRENADIER (buff ideas)
     [praise this unit, as without it, I could not the vast mayority of edits on this ideas! (as it is a blank card)]
     As for this unit, while it is very cost efficient for 3k, having a big pool of defense and decent attack, it makes it a perfect early to mid game unit to pick for Germany. But as time had pass, once could say that it became quite obscure in comparison with others, specially because it cannot do much on its own, its too slow and it doesn't have an inmediate effect to aid you.
     So to make it an even better unit, I thought some changes that could fit pretty well in it:

1- After this unit destroys an enemy unit, draw a card.
(alternative variant)
a- After this unit attack and destroys an enemy unit, draw a card.

1/A- (following 1st option) Increased minium to two for draw.
(variants)
a- After this unit destroys two enemy units, draw a card.
b- After this unit attacks and destroys two enemy units, draw a card.

2- After this unit destroys an enemy unit, add a 1. INFANTRY REGIMENT in your supportline.
(alternative variants)
a- ...in the same line.
b- ...in your hand.

2/A- (following 2nd idea) Now it needs to attack and destroy an enemy unit to trigger the effect.
(variants)
a- ...in your supportline.
b- ...in the same line.
c- ...in your hand.

2/B- (following 2nd idea) Increased minium to 2 to trigger the effect.
(variants)
a- ...in your supportline.
b- ...in the same line.
c- ...in your hand.

[wet smelt]

I Got a sinnister idea

[gusty steppe]

2/C- (following 2nd idea) Increased minium to trigger this effect to 2, and now it need to attack and destroy an enemy unit.
(alternatives)
a- ...in your supportline.
b- ...in the same line.
c- ...in your hand.

[gusty steppe]

shoot it

[wet smelt]

"Deals double damage to guards and hq" cost increased to 4

[gusty steppe]

there was already a card that did that

and was reserved

[wet smelt]

I know

It inspired me

[gusty steppe]

XD

[wet smelt]

Also old hares

[gusty steppe]

still, quite redundant, and quite op for a common card

considering current buffs

AND german frontline buffs

its slow but too deadly for my taste

(ok, whats next...)

[silver path]

Now I think about it

It's might be weird

[gusty steppe]

3- Deployment: Put a random Navy card in your deck to the top.

[disclaimer as to why this effect: as far as I know, in the volksgrenadier regiments there were repurposed inactive military units from Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe, maybe I'm skipping something but it could pair up with the recent update]

srry, go on

[silver path]

Has the text where Becomes Veteran when it attacks and destroys a unit. and veteran side is "Gain guard and can't be targeted by orders or converted/suppress."

4k

[gusty steppe]

while conditional, it is too powerful for Germany, it both gives an easy Guard to get, alongside the Veteran support.

but not a bad idea

[silver path]

It doesn't have blitz tho

[gusty steppe]

its still veteran+guard for germany

you are essentially having a glamour boys that repairs itself once

[silver path]

Yes and if it not in the veteran than it's can be destroy and if you can't destroy it than welp now you have a high target that can't be removel without units fighting it or deployment effects

And if it had blitz than it's be to broken

Or other one can be like when the enemy deploy a unit become veteran and Veteran has text like "When an enemy unit attacks this unit, its attack damage goes to a random enemy. once per turn."

wording can be fix a bit

So it's like Ambush but more deadly

[gusty steppe]

3/A- (following 3rd option)
Deployment: Put a random (insert air unit) in your deck to the top.
(variants)
a- Put a fighter.

[prime iron]

@gusty steppe regarding Volksgrenadiers composition being Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe forces

That's by the near end of the War

This unit was formed in 1944

[gusty steppe]

thanks, I remember it was something like that, thats why I wante to clarify why the respective ideas had to do with either air units or Navy cards

[prime iron]

So yeah it kinda makes sense but also not because the artwork they used was La Domenica Del Corrier and it's Leningrad

The 272nd Volksgrenadier Division which is where the 980. Volksgrenadier Regiment is, operated in the west

Especially in the Normandy campaign

[gusty steppe]

mh, makes sense

problem is there is not that many volksgrenadier units right now (only two atm)

[prime iron]

Yeah that's the problem

[gusty steppe]

but it could be a nice addition in the future (not happening lol)

[prime iron]

Definitely not gonna be likely

But they could also use Battle of Berlin Volksgrenadiers

There composition was super wack

[gusty steppe]

wouldn't those be volkssturm?

[prime iron]

There's a difference

Volksgrenadier Regiment are composed of jobless Kriegsmarine and luftwaffe troops alongside standard heer

Volkssturm are civilians

[gusty steppe]

I mean, there were the volksgrenadiers (actual soldiers) and volkssturm (civilian militia)

[prime iron]

Essentially militias

[gusty steppe]

respective of battle of Berlin, as far as I remember, the actual military forces were at the frontlines

but I might be wrong or partially wrong

[prime iron]

@gusty steppe but

the 257th Volksgrenadier Division, with Grenadier Regiments 457, 466, and 477; the 549th Volksgrenadier Division, which was nearly destroyed in the East Prussian Offensive; and the 553rd Volksgrenadier Division, which included Grenadier Regiments 1119, 1120, and 1121

Those were the Volksgrenadier Divisions that were in the battle of Berlin

Not including Hitlerjugend troops and Volkssturm Militias

That's why Steiner didn't order the counterattack

They got few men left and Berlin was about to be encircled

[gusty steppe]

interesting

[gusty steppe]

imagine these two being a new Germany tokens deck

[prime iron]

The latter maybe but Hitlerjugend? Yeah that's one way to get your game flagged

[gusty steppe]

well... maybe not the exact same name

but well, people are afraid of the historical concept of juvenile soldiers in war

which was saddly a thing

[deft leaf]

It was simply amazing. 300% efficient

[deft leaf]

I don't think so. It's an elite with 300% efficiency and instantly gets into the opponents mind, so it gets them to play less aggressively. I wouldn't change it

[gusty steppe]

well, then it won't see the sunlight ever lol

[deft leaf]

Honestly, I'd just give it +1 def

[gusty steppe]

a german elite which is over 300% efficiency and no downsides? no no no drops it into the abyss

[deft leaf]

That Volksgrenadier is a card with plenty of value, especially for unfinished collections

[gusty steppe]

considering current common and limited cards it does lack some power, atleast currently

[deft leaf]

And with the new supports for naval support style cards, being the only infantry able to survive the hammer and the new 2k removal would do it wonders

[gusty steppe]

well, I don't believe anybody would use hammer tbh

you have either Rush or Hammer v2 (Extended Barrage)

[deft leaf]

!extended barrage

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[deft leaf]

Yes, this one

[gusty steppe]

no reason to not use that instead

[deft leaf]

With 7def, it's the only unit able to survive it in its class

That British guard is less consistent, because it flips op cost after it gets the attack buff so it's useless

!royal fusiliers

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[deft leaf]

This card is useless with cards like chain home, because it ends up with 3atk and 8op cost

Giving that Volksgrenadier 7def would make it a perfect candidate, along with 84th infantry regiment

!84th infantry regiment

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[fathom yacht]

yoo the volksgrens are busted in draft though

[deft leaf]

Precisely because it's already above 100% kredit efficiency

[gusty steppe]

well yeah, anything can be good in draft as you have to make a makeshift army by rng

but outside of that or againts a better constructed/luckier deck, it has no chance

the +1 defense might do the trick though

[gusty steppe]

50. INFANTRY REGIMENT [and VETERAN] (buff ideas)
    As for this unit, one can easily say that it is a powerful unit, no doubt about it, but it always bothered me three things with it, and most importantly in recent times. It has a very low defense to survive against other units of its same cost effectively (with them surviving), you need tempo advantage (start first or similar) to get it into the frontline consistently, and on top of all of that, the direct nerfs to the Ambush and Veteran keywords (both Shock and Supression).
    While it is not a bad unit, I do believe there can be some adjustment done to it, here some I thought (going from simple to a little more powerful):

1- [REGULAR VERSION]
Added keywords for value:
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Ambush.
c- Now it has Fury (slower fallschirmjager)

1/A- (following 1st option) Key word combination:
(variants)
a- Now it has both Shock and Ambush.
b- Now it has both Fury and Shock.
c- Now it has both Fury and Ambush.

2- [REGULAR VERSION]
Increased defense to 3.

2/A- (following 2nd option, identical to 1st variants)
Added keywords for value
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Ambush.
c- Now it has Fury.

2/B- (following 2/A options) Keyword combinations:
(variants)
a- Now it has both Shock and Ambush
b- Now it has both Fury and Shock.
c- Now it has both Fury and Ambush.

3- [VETERAN VERSION]
Added new veteran trigger effect:
"When this unit becomes Veteran...."
(variants)
a- ...draw a card.
b- ...add a PLAN in your hand.
c- ...add a PRODUCTION in your hand.
d- ...add a 50. INFANTRY REGIMENT in your hand. (basically, PANZER I-B)

3/1- [VETERAN VERSION]
Base unit, now it has Shock.

3/A- (following 3/1 option)
Added veteran trigger effect: "When this unit becomes veteran..."
(variants)
a- ...draw a card.
b- ...add a PLAN in your hand.
c- ...add a PRODUCTION in your hand.
d- ...add a 50. INFANTRY REGIMENT in your hand.

4- [VETERAN VERSION]
Increased defense to 4.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Shock.

4/A- (following 4th option)
Added veteran trigger effect: "When this unit becomes Veteran..."
(variants)
a- ...draw a card.
b- ...add a PLAN in your hand.
c- ...add a PRODUCTION in your hand.
d- ...add a 50. INFANTRY REGIMENT in your hand.

[deft leaf]

Not sure this one needs buffs tbh

[silver path]

I would like to see the stupid 2-3 or something tank from USSR that take 4 turns

get reworked

[gusty steppe]

instead of being reworked, its conditional triggers should be much lower or different than what it currently is

[silver path]

Yea

[proud basalt]

This guy doesn’t need a buff, it’s just rout basically fucks over every single frontline deck that isn’t jaggro

[gusty steppe]

I do ignore Rout when it comes to units with low cost, its like discussing about supression or similar orders

I'm in fact, highlighting the other cheap units which are far more better and faster than this

[proud basalt]

I think rout hurts the cheaper, snowball/ guard cards such as this

Like for example, Brit air is dead because if the enemy draws an arrado, suppression, or rout they basically win the game

Cheaper, less committal units are hurt far less by rout

(This is also why cheap guards are fucking dead, the enemy can just run rush, rout, duress and bypass it for free)

[proud basalt]

It just so happens to be that jaggro is the best aggro deck that doesn’t rely on units staying alive to continue the pressure (they have insane hand->board presence)

[gusty steppe]

GLIDE BOMBING (buff ideas)
As for this order, while an interesting concept, I find it quite redundant and inneficient in comparison with its obvious counterpart DIVE BOMBING, which by half its cost it can do the primary effect plus 1 damage.
The draw effect in this is good, but because the order itself is quite expensive (for its main effect) you may end up just using the cheaper one as it can also allow you to remove units with 1 defense.
So imo, in its current form it does fall quite behind as for its lack of versatility. Considering all of these, here are my ideas for it:
[credits to @proud basalt for helping out with the mayority of these]

1- Reduced cost to 1k.
(alternative variant)
a- Reduced it further to 0k.

1/A (following base effect) Now it draws two cards instead.

2- Now the damage reduction lasts until end of next turn.
[2 turns roughly]
(alternative variant)
a- Now it draws to two cards.

3- Now you draw a card no matter if destroyed this turn or not.
(alterantiv variant)
a- Damage reduction lasts until end of next turn.

3/A- (following 3rd options)
(damage reduction effect here) Draw two cards if destroyed this turn, otherwise draw one [guaranteed draw]
(alternative variant)
a- Now the damage reduction lasts until end of next turn.

4- Rework?; Replaced draw with: "Get X kredits if destroyed" [no need to be in the same turn]
(alternative variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

4/A- (following 4th options)
Same principle, but now the damage reduction lasts until end of the next turn.
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

4/B- (following 4th option)
Merged it with original draw effect "Draw a card if in this turn".
[its redundant to put again "destroyed"]
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

4/C- (following 4/B option)
Not only it has all the previous changes, but also the damage reduction lasts until end of the next turn.
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

5- Rework?; Set target unit attack to 0. Draw a card if destroyed this turn. [permanent modifier as in current DILEMMA]
(alternative variant)
a- Draw a card if destroyed.
b- Draw two cards if destroyed this turn, otherwise draw a card.

5/A- (following 5th options)
Increased cost to 3k
(variants)
a- Draw a card if destroyed this turn.
b- Draw a card if destroyed.
c- Draw two cards if destroyed this turn, otherwise draw one.
[this is my actual limit increase for this options, @proud basalt proposed the following B and C variants with increased cost]

5/B- (following 5th option)
Increased cost to 4k
(variants)
a- Draw a card if destroyed this turn.
b- Draw a card if destroyed.
c- Draw two cards if destroyed this turn, otherwise draw one.

5/C- (following 5th option)
Increased cost to 5k
(variants)
a- Draw a card if destroyed this turn
b- Draw a card if destroyed.
c- Draw two cards if destroyed this turn, otherwise draw one.

6- (same idea as 5th) Set target unit attack to 0. Get X kredits if it is destroyed. Draw a card if it is in this turn [weird wording I choosed here, could be changed]
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

6/A- (following 6th option)
Increased cost to 3k
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

6/B- (following 6th option)
Increased cost to 4k.
(variants)
a- get 1 kredit.
b- get 2 kredits.
c- get 3 kredits.

6/C- (following 6th option)
Increased cost to 5k
(variants)
a- Get 1 kredit.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 3 kredits.

7- Mega buff; Target unit and adjacent have 0 attack until your next turn. Draw a card if target is destroyed this turn.
(alternative variant)
a- Increased duration to end of next turn.

7/A- (following 7th options)
Increased cost to 3k

7/B- (following 7th options)
Increased cost to 4k

7/C- (following 7th option)
Increased cost to 5k

[silver path]

I thought you would do this lol

but never mind

I thought of "Target unit has 0 attack until your next turn. Convert or discard a random card in the enemy hand if it is destroyed this turn."

[gusty steppe]

that could work too

[silver path]

Yup and make it worthful running it in handlock or convert deck

[deft leaf]

This is the best version imo

[gusty steppe]

1097. VOLKSGRENADIER (buff & rework ideas)
      [lol, I've edited this quite some time ago but forgot to upload it, I even gaslighted myself by putting it previously in the list]

As for this reserved unit, and the only functional conditional guard Germany currently has, I always had a mixed opinion about it, on one hand it is handy to deal with jaggro or blitz unit in general (except bombers).
On the other hand, it can happen that the enemy doesn't use blitz units at all or you have limited options, so you end up using it and getting a quite mediocre infantry unit that does nothing special.
So to make it a more favorable unit, and probably an autoinclude in german decks, I've thought some ideas:

1- Added new keywords
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Ambush.
c- Now it has both Ambush and Shock.

1/A1- Increased attack to 3.

1/A- (following 1/A1 option)
Now it has keywords.
(alternative variants)
a- Now it has Shock
b- Now it has Ambush.
c- Now it has both Ambush and Shock.

2- (insert deployment effect here). Otherwise give it +X attack and Blitz. [alternative use if Guard is not applied]
(variants)
a- +1 attack and Blitz.
b- +2 attack and Blitz.
[base 3/3 would not be necessary in this case, maybe]

3- (insert deployment effect here). Otherwise add a copy of it in your hand.

[would upload the 3/3 variants, but it would be redundant, I'll just leave this comment as a proposal for it]

[silver path]

Well there a second guard unit

I think 1097. VOLKSGRENADIER should be "Gets +4 defence or +2 +2 attack and defence and gain Guard when you deploy a tank/trigger cm/alpine."?

[gusty steppe]

thats why I meant the most efficient

the other one (already thought much more above) is ridiculously useless as a guard

[silver path]

Or other one can be 1097. VOLKSGRENADIER " can't be targeted by orders and gain guard by deployment of a tank or something but if this is your only unit gain +2 +2."

Wording can be changed a bit

Germany has 2 guard units this and %25. PANZERGRENADIER%

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 1

[gusty steppe]

yes, but only one is practical, thats what I've stated

[silver path]

Yea and fair

I think 1097 voksgrenadier need a full on reworked and because the issue with it is that it's only good when the enemy is playing blitz units and it's 2k and it can get hit by rout so it's got to be 3k or something so it's harder to deal with and I think cannot be targeted by orders make it more annoying to deal with but it's a 2-5 or 4-5 guard

[deft leaf]

1097 Volksgrenadier could have inherent shock and conditional blitz

This would make it serve its purpose more consistently this day and age, with so many suppress and guard removals

[silver path]

Yea due to how many removeal there is that is why I say can't be targeted can be a good one

[gusty steppe]

ENIGMA (buff ideas)
As for this card, being the only "consistent" card draw Germany has which doesn't just cycle through your deck like other German cards... is not as consistent and useful as it could be, sometimes you end up paying for a 1 or 2 draw or nothing at all as the enemy may just have less cards than you.
Which makes a rather mediocre drawing option instead of just picking any other nation alternative, which generally are easier to trigger or activate, cheaper and more common by rarity.
So here are 2 ideas made by me and @proud basalt to make it a more viable option, and most probably and rightfully an auto-include for Germany:

1- Added: Draw 1 card if equal or less.

1/A- (following 1st option)
a- Draw 2 if equal or less.
b- Draw 3 if equal or less. (cost may be increased to 5k?)

2- Added: Draw 1 card. (before the actual Enigma effect triggers)
[credits to @proud basalt]

2/A- (following 2nd option)
Now it draws 2 cards.
[credits to @proud basalt]

[deft leaf]

Enigma doesn't need changes

[gusty steppe]

I disagree, while it can be pretty good if the enemy has a big hand (in comparison with you) if he has less or equal, and you need draw, this card just serves as a dead slot, an expensive one.

adding a little more of draw would be benefitial and fitting for its cost and rarity

also would be good for Germany lack of real draw

not something you can spam too much, as you could only have 2 of these in total

[prime iron]

It's also the fact that meanwhile By the Sword is good

[gusty steppe]

slightly better, but I do believe it would need a slight buff too

not like my version of Enigma, but a little buff

[mint nacelle]

By the sword works exactly as it should. When used by a control deck against faster decks, it gives them fuel to keep going and stay competitive. Against control, its not as good, but also not necessary since the enemy is playing slower and you don't need the draw. You just don't want to use it in aggro decks. It is strong, and balanced, it doesn't need to be stronger

[gusty steppe]

JUNKERS JU 88 A (buff ideas, big ones)
As for this obscure units, I find it really bizarre but at the same time interesting that Germany do have a more common like bomber with plain cost, stats and no additional effects, similarly to US or UK bombers.
But I can imagine that was the exact same reason it was put on reserves, I don't have any idea how this unit performed for Germany back then, but as far as I can tell this nation doesn't have almost no support for air units, and worse of all this one doesn't do anything else than offering decente damage per op cost ratio and "big" defense for 5k.
So, to make it a more appealing unit to be picked, maybe for a future german air decks or as a support tool, I do offer some ideas that I've made alongisde @proud basalt:

1- Deployment: Add a "insert card".
(variants)
a- Add a BUZZ BOMB in your hand.
b- Add a GLIDE BOMBING in your hand.
c- Add a SUPRESSION in your hand.
d- Add an AIR BLITZ in your hand.

e- Add a TACTICAL STRIKE in your hand.
f- Add an EAGLE CLAWS in your hand.
g- Add an EAGLE DAY in your hand.

5- At the end of your turn, this unit gets Smokescreen.
(alternative variant)

j- Deal 2 damage to an enemy unit. Deal 4 if it is in the supportline.
k- Put a German air unit into play. Return it to your hand at the end of next turn (it doesn't give it blitz as EAGLE DAY)
l- Put a german air unit into play with Blitz. Return it in your hand at the end of the turn (its the same thing, cost could be increased?).

6/C- (following 6th option variants)
m- Deal 2 damage to all enemy units in the supportline.
n- Deal 2 damage to all enemy units in the frontline.

[gusty steppe]

so it can rise a little more the air units in it

[gusty steppe]

4. FALLSCHIRMJÄGER (buff & "rework" ideas)
   [not a big fan of suggesting changes on new cards, but oh well]
   As for this unit, I have to say it is (technically) a big step forward considering its brother 8. FALLSCHIRMJÄGER, which in this case its the very same thing but with +1 cost, +1 damage and a new deployment effect, a very specific one.
   Not a bad unit, but it runs the very same problems as the previous one, and worse if we consider its cost;
   I) very low health, making Fury useless in unit vs unit combat as it would die by the first attack, so its not amazing to clear the frontline.
   II) following 1st issue, it doesn't have Shock even it is a paratrooper unit.
   III)- its effect while nice, its too specific to be useful consistently, and it just opens up for an aggro style, but again this is too expensive for that and to clean the frontline.
   So following what I believe as this flaws, here are my ideas to make it better.

1- Now it has Shock
(alternative variant)
a- Now it can target a unit with 3 cost or less in hand.

1/A- (following 1st option)
Now it has 0 operation cost. Applies for both variants.

2- Reduced operation cost to 0.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it can target a unit in your hand with cost 3 or less.

2/A- [didn't know where to put it]
Now it can target a unit in your hand with cost 3 or less.

3- "Rework"; Deployment: Choose a unit in hand, reduce its cost by X. (removed cost restriction for target)
(variants)
a- Reduce by 1.
b- Reduce by 2.
c- Reduce by 3.

3/A- (following 3rd option)
Now it has 0 operation cost. Applies to all variants.

3/B- (following 3rd option)
Now it has Shock. Applies to all variants.

3/C- (following 3/A option)
Now it has both 0 operation cost and Shock. Applies to all variants.

4- Increased defense to 3.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it can target a unit in hand with cost 3 or less.

4/A- (following 4th option)
Reduced operation cost to 0. Applies to all variants.

4/B- (following 4th option)
Now it has Shock. Applies to both variants.

4/C- (following 4/B option)
Now it has 0 operation cost and Shock. Applies to both variants.

5- "Rework" [same effect as in 3rd option, can be considered a continuation]
Increased defense to 3; Deployment: Choose a unit in hand, reduce its cost by X.
(variants)
a- Reduce by 1.
b- Reduce by 2.
c- Reduce by 3.

5/A- (following 5th option)
Reduced operation cost to 0. Applies to all variants.

5/B- (following 5th option)
Now it has Shock. Applies to all variants.

5/C- (following 5/B option)
Now it has 0 operation cost and Shock. Applies to all variants.

[silver path]

i think a other thing I will say is that when this unit into the frontline it could spawn 2 FALLSCHIRMJÄGER in the supportline or frontline along side it?

%FALLSCHIRMJÄGER%

[agile coyote]

Cards found: 3

[silver path]

second one

[gusty steppe]

8.?

[silver path]

Yup

and make it 3k 2 op or something

[gusty steppe]

terribly busted if you ask me, it would be costed at 4k or/and with 2 op

and same trouble as before, if it cannot get to the frontline, is as useful as a 15th cavalry against a Maus

[silver path]

Fair

[gusty steppe]

no shock, no defense, no value

[silver path]

But here the kicker

[gusty steppe]

but not a bad idea

could be an order

something like momentum, but elite

[silver path]

Add this on to "If this unit is in hand, add it to the frontline at the end of your turn if able to and add two 8. FALLSCHIRMJÄGER beside it."

So this can gone into the frontline at the end of your turn on turn 1

Or shown when drawn "add two 8. FALLSCHIRMJÄGER."

Why I think of this is because it an airborn unit so I thought of it should spawn other Airborn units beside it and be a early game aggro unit

[proud basalt]

I think 5k 0op 4-2 blitz shock fury
With the reduce limit for 3k Cards
Is the best bet for this guy

[gusty steppe]

5k is horrendous, 3-4k is an optimal cost range

[proud basalt]

3k card includes orders

Makes it much less high-rolly

Plus at 3-4k its just has too much potential to be buffed at all

[silver path]

This could get reworked or buff if you didn't get around to it

[gusty steppe]

OLD HARES (nerf/"b u f f" ideas)
[again, another card from the new expansion, but I have my reasons to suggest a change over this one]
As for this order, I don't like the very nature of this card, as it is just a powercreeped FINAL PUSH or HONOR, while having all upsides and no downsides to compensate whatsoever the masive amount of damage it can give.
As for this, I do not find it fair that this becomes a replacement (for some reason) for the previous two orders mentioned, and its historical context could be used for an alternative and more interesting effect.
Here are my ideas, made alongside @proud basalt:

1- Reduced damage gained to X.
(variants)
a- Reduced to 4 attack.
b- Reduced to 3 attack.

1/A- Now it can only target German infantry or tanks.
(variants)
a- Gives +5 attack.

b- Gains +3 attack.

Now it can only be targeted to German units. Applies to all variants.

a- Gains +4 attack.
b- Gains +3 attack.

Now it can only target German units. Applies to both variants.

4- Nerf/Compensation; It can only target German units. Reduced damage to X. Operates for free until end of the turn.

a- Gets +4 attack.
b- Gets +3 attack.
c- Gets +2 attack.
d- Gets +1 attack.

4/A- (following 4th option)
If the unit is in the frontline, it operates for free. Applies to all variants.

5- Nerf/"Buff"; Target units becomes Veteran if possible. It gets +X attack until end of turn.
(variants)
a- Gets +4 attack.
b- Gets +3 attack.
[as of the term "OLD HARES", it is supposed to make a reference of Veteran/Seasoned soldiers through the war, why not making it benefit those that can become Veteran?]

5/A- (following 5th option)
Now it gets -1 operation cost until end of turn. Applies to all variants.
(additional variant)
c- Gets +2 attack.

6- Nerf/"Buff"; Similar to 5th option, but now it can only target German units. Damaged gained reduced to X.
(variants)
a- Gets +4 attack.
b- Gets +3 attack.
c- Gets +2 attack.

7- Nerf/"Buff"; Reduced damage gained to 3. If it destroys an enemy unit, it gets +X+X.
(variants)
a- It gets +2+3.

b- Gets +4 attack.
c- Gets +3 attack.
d- Gets +2 attack.

9/A- (following 9th option)
Now it returns it into your deck. Applies to all variants.
[could be reworded into "Put it into your deck" instead]

9/B- (following 9th option)
Now it puts it on top of your deck (denying you a card draw). Applies to all variants.

a- Get +4 attack.
b- Get +3 attack.
[the amount of kredits could vary, I did just leave it at 3, could be more or less]

13/A- (following 13th option)
Now the kredit gain only works in the current turn. Applies to both variants.

13/B- (following 13th option)
Now it can only target German units. Applies to both variants.

136. GEBIRGSJÄGER (buff ideas)
     As for this unit, you could argue that it is fine as it is and doens't need further changes, and maybe you are right, but I do feel this unit, like many other Alpine units, is very prone to be either Supressed or removed or crippled by anything nowadays.
     Although it has Alpine, its poor stats and lack of additional effects (considering its cost and equivalent units) makes it quite a poor unit to use, even if you manage somehow to build some Alpine units before its deployment.
     [funnily enough, I've suggested nerf ideas for 13. GEBIRGSJÄGER before lol]
     So as always, I want to bring different ideas and approaches that could make this unit more useful for Alpine decks, and maybe even outside of it as a secondary tool:
     [my internet connection is quite slow todays for some reason, it'll take me a while]

1- Added additional keywords besides Alpine.
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Ambush.
c- Now it has both Ambush and Shock.
[ps: Now I thought another idea, but it can be applied to both the base card and any other ideas for this card, if you readed this you'll earn a ]

1/A- (following 1st option) CHAOS VARIANT
Now it has Blitz. Applies to all variants, including the one with 3 keywords.

[gusty steppe]

thats an interesting change it could have

both could be applied, as for right now, this unit sucks

its just a worse 13. gebirgsjager with just +2 attack and no passive effects.

[gusty steppe]

PUMMEL (buff ideas)
As for this "recently" reserved order, before that happenedI honestly couldn't think, or more accurately, thought it was a balanced/useful enough card that didn't need much changes, and that it was technically better than its brother TIP OF THE SPEAR, atleast in theory.
Given its flexibility to either work as a suppression or a removal if conditions met..... which after some time thinking is not much better than TIP OF THE SPEAR, maybe I'd say even worse as if you only use the first effect, you end up using 4 kredits, 3 more than the already existing SUPPRESSION, which also allows you to draw a card, and the 3 cost removal while nice, its not a big deal recently as it cannot keep up with a horde of cheap units, and cannot target higher cost units.
So to make this order a more useful tool in general, I've thought some ideas alongside @proud basalt:

1- Choose one - Supress target unit and get X kredits OR destroy target unit with cost 3 or less.
(variants)
a- Get 3 kredits.
b- Get 2 kredits.
c- Get 1 kredit.

2- Now you can draw a card (or 2).
(variants)
a- (insert original text) Draw a card.
b- (insert original text) Otherwise draw two card. [if only Suppression]
c- Supress target unit and draw a card, then destroy it if it costs 3 or less. Otherwise draw a card again. [if only Supression]

3- (insert original text) Draw an artillery from your deck.
(alternative variant)
a- Otherwise draw an artillery from your deck. [if only Suppression]

3/A- (following 3rd option)
(insert original text) Otherwise draw an artillery from your deck with -X cost. [if only Suppression]
(variants)
a- with -1 cost.
b- with -2 cost.
c- with -3 cost.

4- (insert original text) Add a 88 mm FLAK in...
(variants)
a- ...in your hand.
b- ...into your deck.
c- ...on top of your deck.

4/A- (following 4th option)
Add a 88 mm FLAK in your supportline.
(alternative variant)
a- Add a Pinned 88 mm FLAK.

4/B- (following 4th option)
(insert original text) Otherwise add a 88 mm FLAK.... Applies to all variants.

4/C- (following 4th option)
(insert original text) Otherwise add a FLAK 88 mm... Applies to all variants.

5- (insert original text) Otherwise Suppress...
(variants)
a- ...a random enemy unit.
b- ...two random enemy units.

5/A- (following 5th variants)
c- ...a random adjacent unit.
d- ...adjacent units.

5/B- (following 5th variants)
e- ...all units in the same line.

6- Choose one - Suppress target unit and (see variants) OR destroy target unit with cost 3 or less.
(variants)
a- A random enemy unit.
b- Two random enemy units.

6/A- (following 6th variants)
c- A random adjacent unit.
d- Adjacent units.

6/B- (following 6th variants)
e- All units in the same line.

7- (insert original text) Develop a German artillery.
(alternative variant)
a- Develop a non-elite German artillery [for those that are very VERY afraid of REALLY big cilindrical steel cannons]

7/A- (following 7th option)
Develop a German artillery and put it into your deck.
(alternative variant)
a- Develop a non-elite German artillery.

7/B- (following 7th option)
Otherwise Develop a German artillery [if only Suppression]
(alternative variants)
a- Develop a non-elite German artillery.
b- Develop a German artillery, put it into your deck.
c- Here it would be similar to "b" variant, but there is no space for "non-elite", unless the letter font is reduced even more.

PANZER 38(t) (buff ideas)
As for this unit in particular, it is not bad, considering its effect, unit type, and stats its a pretty solid unit.

But consider this, lately, units with much more cheaper costs outclass profusely this tank either by having more/equal damage to destroy it, or a lot of defense (which end ups destroying it by trading).

So to make this unit a better choice in general and worth to pick to get a decent cycling and actually useful unit for combat, I thought alongside @proud basalt some ideas for it:
[mind you, its not a long list, for those afraid of reading]

1- Added keywords.
(variants)
a- Not it has Shock.
b- Now it has Smokescreen.
c- Now it has both Shock and Smokescreen.

2- Increased attack to 3
[basically reverted it, if I do recall correctly]

2/A- (following 2nd option)
Added keywords.
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Smokescreen.
c- Now it has both Shock and Smokescreen.

3- Reduced cost to 2k.

3/A- (following 3rd option)
Added keywords.
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Smokescreen.
c- Now it has both Shock and Smokescreen.

3/B- (following 3rd option)
Reduced its defense to 2
[to match with PANZER 35(t) ]

3/C- (following 3/B option)
Added keywords
(variants)
a- Now it has Shock.
b- Now it has Smokescreen.
c- Now it has both Shock and Smokescreen.

[honest glade]

holy nerf

[gusty steppe]

its not like it would be applied lol

and its more of a buff if you read carefully

[honest glade]

yeah ik

[honest glade]

i wouldnt have a problem with it if it still does 8 damage

[gusty steppe]

it was when it still dealt 7 damage

if devs do really want to apply that concept into the game, it wouln't necessarily have 7 damage but the actual one, which is 8

but still, an 8 damage order that can target units and costs 4k is not a huge deal

[gusty steppe]

FLAMMPANZER (buff ideas..... yeah)
[ok, this will be the last take for this unit, I did really restrain myself with changes for it, when in reality it needs a pretty good buff, yet simple]
Here the previous ones:
#1350635388666122300 message
#1350635388666122300 message
And here is the third (and hopefully last) edition for this unit:

1- Deployment: Choose one - Destroy target enemy unit with cost 1 or less OR an infantry unit with cost 2 or less.
[wording kinda complicated]

1/A- (following 1st option)
Increased either attack or defense to by 1.

1/B- (following 1st option)
Now it has 4/4.

2- Deployment: Destroy enemy infantry unit with cost 2 or less.
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Heavy armor 1

2/A- (following 2nd option)
Increased defense to 4. Applies to both variants.

2/B- (following 2nd option)
Increased attack to 4. Applies to both variants.

2/C- (following 2nd option)
Now it has 4/4. Applies to both variants.

3- (base effect) Has Shock against infantry units.
(alternative variant)
a- Destroy an enemy infantry unit with cost 2 or less.

3/A- (following 3rd option)
Increased defense to 4. Applies to both variants.

3/B- (following 3rd option)
Increased attack to 4. Applies to both variants.

3/C- (following 3rd option)
Now it has 4/4. Applies to both variants.

4- Increased stats to 4/4
[lol, should've started with this one]
(alternative variant)
a- Now it has Heavy armor 1.

[honest glade]

hell yeah i second this

[deft leaf]

Yes

[honest glade]

btw bro whats the color code for the titles and subtitles

[gusty steppe]

color code? like for editing?

[honest glade]

i keep using black and white but it looks too contrasting

yeah

the colors of the text

[gusty steppe]

lemme check, I have no idea

its just a gray shade, the darker one is for keywords, names and such. The brighter ones are for regular text

[honest glade]

can you possibly use this tool on the text

if you are using photoshop

or some other editing apps

and tell me the hexadecimal code

[gusty steppe]

regular text - (606060)
special text for keywords and such - (545454)

[honest glade]

ahh thanks

[honest glade]

wait that second one is 7 digits

alr thanks

[gusty steppe]

(srry for the delay, my internet for some holy reason sucks really bad right now)

[honest glade]

thats alr

[gusty steppe]

ENCIRCLEMENT (buff ideas)
As for this card, while it technically it is not bad, I do believe it is quite limited for what you can do realistically, keeping the frontline, specially with such units with 3 cost or less, is complicated in most cases, both because they are rather fragile, or slow to get there consistently while also getting value out of this order. Not to mention the huge amount of removal there is lately, both from powerful fast paced units like orders or so.
Because of this, I bring some ideas I thought alonside @proud basalt that might make this order a little more atractive for all types of unit based decks! even jaggro...

1- Now it also gets Shock.

1/A- (not really following 1st option but as a base for next variants)
Not it also gets -1 operation cost.

1/B- (following 1/A option)
Now it also gets Shock like 1st option.

1/C- (again, not following 1st option)
(base effect) Draw a card.

1/D- (following 1/C option)
Now it gives it Shock like the 1st option, alognside a card draw.

2- Now you can duplicate units with cost 3 or less in your supportline. Give it Blitz if in the frontline.

2/A- (following 2nd option)
Now it also gives it Shock if in the frontline.

2/B- (following 2nd option)
2 versions, technically the same but with different wording.
(variants)
a- (2 option effect) Otherwise give it Shock.
b- (base effect, kinda) and give it Shock. Give it Blitz if in the frontline.

3- (base effect) If German, the cost can be X or less.
[could use more clear wording]
(variants)
a- with cost 5 or less.
b- with cost 4 or less.
[yes, it is intended to duplicate units with that amout of cost, but only if it is German]

3/A- (following 3rd option) CHAOS VARIANT
Now you can duplicate ANY german unit no matter its cost.

4- Duplicate a friendly unit in the frontline with a cost of X or less and Suppress it. Give it Blitz and Shock.
(variants)
a- with a cost of 3 or less.
b- with a cost of 4 or less.
c- with a cost of 5 or less.

4/A- (following 4th option)
Now it can only target German units. Applies to all variants

4/B- (following 4th concept/option)
Now you can also duplicate units in your supportline. Applies to all variants.

4/C- (following 4/B option)
Now it can only targer German units. Applies to all variants.

5- (base effect) Get X kredits, then lose equal to unit cost
[could use some rewording, maybe]
(variants)
a- Get 3 kredits.
b- Get 4 kredits.
c- Get 5 kredits. (here on forward its too much, but hey, options!)
d- Get 6 kredits.

5/A- Reduced cost to 0k; (base effect) This orders costs equal to target unit cost.
[it self explains itself... right?]

6- Basically, target a friendly unit and add a 10.5 cm LeFH next to it, here the conditions:
(variants)
a- Target a friendly unit in the frontline and duplicate with Blitz if it costs 3 or less. Otherwise add a 10.5 cm LeFH next to it.
b- [Same wording as "a" option, but now it can also target units in your supportline].
c- [Very similar effect as "a" option, but now the duplication and Blitz are applied if in the frontline].

7- "Rework"; Instead of duplicating target friendly unit, now it adds a random German infantry with (cost variants below) and added Blitz.
(variants)
a- With 3 cost or less.
b- With 3 cost.
c- With 3 cost or less and Blitz and Shock.
d- With 3 cost and Blitz and Shock.

7/A- (following 7th option)
Now it adds a random German tank unit. Applies to all variants.

7/B- (following 7th option)
Now it adds a random German ground unit. Applies to all variants.
[basically, both infantries, tanks and artilleries, don't worry, LEOPOLD doesn't cost 3k lol]

8- The very same thing as 7th concept, but now you can target units in your supportline too.
(variants)
a- With 3 cost or less.
b- With 3 cost.
c- With 3 cost or less and Blitz and Shock.
d- With 3 cost and Blitz and Shock.

8/A- (following 8th option)
Now it adds a random German tank. Applies to all variants.

8/B- (following 8th option)
Now it adds a random German ground unit. Applies to all variants.
[BOO! NOW YOU GENERATED A LEOPO.. oh wait, that doesn't cost 3k, nevermind]

9- (insert original text) Deal damage to all enemies equal to its cost.
(alternative variant)
a- Deal damage to all enemy units equal to cost.
[I've intentionally didn't add "its" as there wasn't enough space]

9/A- (following 9th option)
Now you can target friendly units in your supportline. Applies to both variants.
[this might be really busted if played correctly]

[wet smelt]

Every buff to this card would make alpine break the meta

[gusty steppe]

suppression/removal goes brrrr

cement sfx noises

Alpine decks in a nutshell:

sees the [insert German card name] alongside the word buff: "yup, this is going to break the game, reduce it to atoms, unplayable and unbeatable"

[wet smelt]

I play alpine, trust me bro this type a buff is too much

[gusty steppe]

did you atleast saw what are the options or just straight up discarded all
