slender cedar
Part 1: Context
I was seeing a guy playing on qp2 with the strength and the emperor they got a huge spike which gave them a very clean stack to go down, however this was just luck, it would be cool having a mod to strategize around that.
But it came to my mind that a card based on this and might be cool
Part 2: Idea / Mechanics
I call it the oracle, which let's you see upcoming garbage hole positions like how expert strength gives you the oracle is just because is like seeing onto the future so based on the zenith theme it should fit very nicely.
Part 3: Balancing
-# > "perfectly balanced as all things should be"
Nerfing the climb speed of the player would be a good balance against it.
Part 4: Aesthetics / Art
The card face I imagine it like a someone with an orb predicting the future or a black outline of a mugshot looking down but with a third on the forehead open.
Part 5: Lore
- you become a old mage?
- Climb speed is nerfed bc you are climbing with you're extremely heavy Glass orb
- "Knowing the future comes with heavy responsabilities" or something clever for the hardcore mode
Part 6: Hardcore mode?
-# ⚠️ from now on this is only yapping as I don't wanna lose the creativity I got right now, but I want to be complete
- Losing half of the upcoming queue? (But the queue is like 5 pieces that sounds hard to balance)
- Changing the player bag to something outside mayhem and 7-piece bag
- Nerfing climb speed harder?
- 2-wide garbage holes?
