hmmm, why not a modifier?

Omega Bolt Cannon Upgrade

attach modifier device on own monster

Requires power4
Can only attached to ships with 40 or more attack and life.
target opponent monster is obliterated, all opponent monsters take half the attack of the monster with this card attached to it. If you use this cards effect with less then 4 power, the modified monster is dizzied and does not undizzy next turn.


To unlock:
1. have more then 10 power
2. must control 5 ships (one has to be ZFF Zeus)
3. must use Zeus's effect on an opponents ship
4. end turn, all of your ships must be dizzied

Hope this is fair enough. Thought I'd have it relate to Zeus. tried to make it powerful and have its effect and restrictions relate to how to unlock it, as too give the player a hint.

Clockwork Paladins are next to worthless right now, might as well do something with them.

Requirements: 2 Clockwork Paladins, 1 ZFF Officer, Symbiote, and Zeus. Merge Symbiote with Zeus then play another Officer. Clockwork Paladin needs to have his +20 life until end of turn bonus to trigger it.

Wanted to wait till a week without a new post before asking when this contest would end?

second the "It's been a week since anyone submited a new idea so masa should pick a winner so we can have a new catagory and the game can keep moving" idea of RazorD9.

provides 5 power
Power 15: Target
entity and all cards next to it are obliterated. ZFF-66 Chronos does not undizzy next turn, 5% chance of all your cards are obliterated
137/156

Unlock: control 5 Zeus, have them all be destroyed by a Nuclear Plant while the location is Stellar Distances.
(the ability loops to the other side if the entity at the end of the row, obliterates cards left, right and above/below target)

Each next (and generally bigger) ZFF ship has a bigger number. i'd expect this to be like ZFF-150 Chronos or something A full stop which both isn't allowed and would make more sense as a comma anyway. No space in spaceship (ie no gap, clearly the word space is in there). In terms of what the card actually does, you've got a nice Khrimalith-esque ability there that would be pretty cool to see in action, but of course now that we have Zephyr, the flavour doesn't work at all

Big Bang Ammo
attach ammo
attaches to own weapon
end turn: gain counter
monster attack is multiplied by number of counters
if in combat: all monsters with life < attached monster's attack are obliterated

unlock: attach Singularity Cannon with Arm Cannon, singularity cannon must have 10 counters and attack a space ship. both Singularity Cannon and the spaceship must die

What? You turn Singularity Cannon's ability from "atk x no of counters" to atk x no of counters ²"? Equip Weapon + 4 counters + BBA = not at all hard to do. It also = 416 damage to the opponent or a crapload of overflow to opponent + The Nothing. 5 counters and Equip Weapon and you've enough to win via overflow alone after hitting something with 50 or less life. And note that the counters from BBA would stack with Singularity Cannon. This is a balancer's nightmare... it's like a super-cheap Aeon Weapon or something. Also, too much lowercase

Naaah... this is boring. Maybe because I just read through three entries in a single post? You should've scattered them out a bit! No actually, it's just generic and boring.

The other chance cards don't have evil failure costs, but a player using this one late game when losing needs some sort of added risk factor.

Unlocked: Player simultaneously controls 2 monsters with Personal Teleporters and has 2 monsters (other than the ones with teleporters) which have (invisible attack) due to Spacewarp Drive or Transporter Pad.

Hmm, powerful. And you could still use all of your effect slots if you used a Cardboard Cutout (ie just use Teleportation Device for the monsters). Heck, you can even prevent the opponent from buffing their own monsters and stuff. Overpowered I guess, but at least it's not completely broken. Fairly average...

(Hidden: Dizzies without any effect if not attached to a space ship)

Unlock: Attack with both a ZFF-24 Hermes and a ZFF-90 Zeus, and have other power sources be destroyed so that the Zeus is dizzied due to lack of power instead of attacking. In the same game, get back up to 6 power and use Zeus' ability.

Hmm... a bit more expensive than Arm Cannon, but slower and with more requirements, to hit all monsters? Let's that you might generally have 3-6 mana if you're running Ultracells as the primary supplier, maybe slap a bit more power down in case of an emergency... It's probably be best on a Dethstrik Cruiser (for Entrenching), or Hermes for massive stats (but you'd rather attack, wouldn't you?). Up to 20 damage mass sniping easily, more if you dedicate more slots to power? Probably more comparable to Missilepod actually... yeah, this is probably balanced, or maybe just a little overpowered (and I like it, it's interesting and uses Power in a new(ish) way, and codeable). The unlocking requirements aren't easy, but they're not overly complex. I could actually see someone unlocking this without making a deck specifically designed to do so, and it's kinda related, unlike most cards.
I like this one.

All entities are destroyed, including those in both player's hands. Both graveyards are then added to their respective decks, and each player draws five new cards. Mana totals of each player are now .
Failure: Skip your next three turns.


Unlock: Your opponent must skip ten turns in one game due to cards you control. You must have a Cosmic Rift in play for every one of those turns, and still on the field when the game ends. In addition, you do not unlock this card if you are made to skip even one turn by any card's effect.

I like the card a low, but that 3% chance of getting the card in a dedicated turnskip deck loses points. As does the way you could probably get it 100% of the time once you work out the requirements (which incidentally you never would) with Electrical Spikes in a dedicated farming scenario while noone else can ever work it out. What? Sounds like Deep Dive? Nah, at least two other people have worked it out of their own accord, and that was without the huge clue I gave away for free.

Ridiculously weak, ridiculously hard to unlock, and ridiculously named. I mean, Security Button is a Big Red Button, isn't it? C'mon!

Well crap, how's all that meant to fit in the card text? Anyway, that aside, the unlock requirements seem like a cross between those of Vincent's and Mus'. Oh, and again, Zephyr doesn't help your case (it's almost a modifier version of its ability). The name would be truncated too actually, but let's ignore that because SNHM and Invisible Horror get away with it. Also a lot of wrong terminology and wording that I'd pick out if I were spectating rather than judging. Doesn't make the grade, but hey, better than some of the Fs I've awarded.

Requirements: 2 Clockwork Paladins, 1 ZFF Officer, Symbiote, and Zeus. Merge Symbiote with Zeus then play another Officer. Clockwork Paladin needs to have his +20 life until end of turn bonus to trigger it.

I can't really imagine anyone keeping it in robot mode for too long, but I guess you could envision that as being its turn 1 weakness. For what you get in exchange for its requirements though, it's probably balanced, though it could've done with some AKAs. And ship? Is it a huge battleship of the water-faring variety? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's how the type reads to me. As for the unlocking requirements... well, the Clockwork Paladins are offcolor, but as it's deliberate I guess I'll allow that. But ZFF Officer? I don't see where that's come from. Now, if it was TR-32 Variable (the real card that does the space ship/robot transformation) I could've gone with that.
Overall good, but not the winner.

The winner is, in fact...

E-mouse! Huzzah!

Everyone else gets an (extra?) , despite any praise I might have given your entries!

Oh, seems I missed Ageatii's Covert Apparatus... well, it's no winner, but as a consolation you don't get an like all the other losers runners-up got.

The mic is over to Mus, au revoir! [/themetune]

Thinking about it, Promethus Cannon should be E speed, at least. Could probably use more play cost, all things considered.

Still, I thought that was a good idea.

Anyway, hmm...

Ah, I know! Synergy-based Angel cards for use to make the few relevant cards like Angel Protector more viable. All card types acceptable.
