Balance Thread

The whole POINT of Orbital Cannon is that you have to feed it undizziers.

I wish this would get fixed so I could test it, but this looks dangerous. It's fairly expensive, but it's also a pretty good bet to kill off at least one creature and give you a bit of card advantage to boot. If you can protect it with a dizzier effect and a sniper effect, you've pretty much locked things up.
Suggestion: 3 activation cost

It is fixed.

Yet another unique card. Robot Duplicate at least semi-approximates it, and I think it's probably a better card, being more versatile, but without the ability-copying. If there aren't any large creatures out, the Duplicate itself is fairly beefy. And the Clone costs an awful lot... it feels too high.
Suggestion: 55

Remember, it can copy uniques..

Potentially very broken when used with the correct stall cards. The exponential growth of the Replibots is problematic.
Suggestion: Comes into play dizzy, Replibots' ability block-dizzies

I have the replibot ability now dizzying all replibots.

Meh. Being limited to generators is a pretty major drawback, especially outside of the MC sandbox.
Suggestion 1: Remove the "owner gains sacrifice mana"
Suggestion 2: Reduce cost to 2
Suggestion Omega: Change spelling of "it's" to "its"

Becuase there's no generators in any other set? I'm not sure how the 'mc sandbox' has anything to do with it (excepting maybe that they generally cost less?)

Fun concept. Some of the resulting creatures are pretty pathetic, but in a Bakuga deck with exotic effects, this could be quite interesting. That said, in general play, it should at least outrun the most common effect D to be useful.
Suggestion: Speed B

Next update will have the static-ish multipliers go from .75 to 1.25 instead of 0 to 1.5 (which should be a net gain)

I need to see this in action. I get the impression it's supposed to stop generators and other passive abilities, too. By "next sacrifice phase", is that your next phase, or whosever comes next? Won't attempt to comment until I understand this better.

It stops anything the effect can do until next sacrifice phase. That would either be yours or your opponents depending on when you cancel it.

It's basically 'until end of turn' except it also includes when the generators generate.

Incidentally it should also stop fleeting and maintanance costs.

Pretty expensive for what it does. Attaching it to a Suicider represents a fairly realistic good-case scenario, and it's thrice as effective as Gift of Life (which itself should probably cost 3), for over twice the cost. But it's also much more easily foiled than a GoL, potentially netting you zero.
Suggestion: Cost to 43

Use it on something with Invisible Attack

See Plasma Pack (earlier post). By the way, did anyone notice that there are two of these that generate light mana, and none that generate gray? Is that intentional?

I'll have to look into that.
