Title: NEW FBTN Idea
Post by: Bobbert on November 01, 2011, 04:43:39 PM
*Insert name, brigade, and stats of FBTN character here*
Protect all cards in play and set aside from the special abilities on all characters and enhancements (except this ability).


What do you think?

They already released that, it's called Thaddeus.

Not last year again!

This is not Thad. This version hurts you, too, since your enhancements don't have an effect.

Interesting...going with a rock instead of paper.  Take THAT all of you CBN scissors.  ;)

I don't think "Battle is determined by the numbers" is ever needed in abilities. It was clarifying text that doesn't seem necessary anymore.

I rather like it. It's like TRUE FBTN since even CBP/CBN stuff won't be able to sidestep it.

Not a character, a territory class enhancement, possibly one that can be recurred (albeit with a price). I feel like a player could build a deck around this strategy and be nigh unstoppable, so some limitation would be required.

"Protect all cards in play, set-aside areas, decks, discard piles, hands, and Lands of Redemption from all special abilities (except this one) this turn. Remove this card from the game, or, you may discard the top two cards of your deck to place this card on the bottom of your draw pile."

Wordy (perhaps we could just say, "...all cards in the game...", but it would be true FBTN, not overpowered, and recurrable.

"...ALL cards..." should do the trick.  ;)

That's the second ANB joke I've seen you make today. Did it hurt your feelings?  ;)

Only the second?  I'm slacking.  :P

Well, referring to the "ALL" part of the card.

Yeah, I was just teasing about the number of ANB jokes comment.

But to be honest, "ALL" would work.  Yes, it's only found on ANB but we all know that it is able to target face-down cards, too, whereas the "all" in Wrath of Stan cannot target an Ambushed hero.

Changed!

Post by: SomeKittens on November 01, 2011, 09:56:51 PM
It still defaults to "in play"

How would I word it to protect everything?
Title: Re: NEW FBTN Idea

It depends.  If you want only standard FBTN (Characters and enhancements in battle), this works:
*Insert name, brigade, and stats of FBTN character here*
Protect all cards in battle from the special abilities on all characters and enhancements (except this ability).
Otherwise, if you don't want any SA's going off at all:

*Insert name, brigade, and stats of FBTN character here*
Protect all cards in play, set aside area, artifact piles, hands, decks and discard piles from the special abilities on all characters and enhancements (except this ability).

Redemption should add the "everywhere" keyword to shorten "play, set aside area, artifact piles, hands, decks and discard piles." lol

I know STAMP was joking about using ALL, but that *may* work.

Post by: megamanlan on November 08, 2011, 12:18:17 AM
Change it to All in play and Set-Aside.

Fixed. Any other opinions?
