Title: Symbolic support
Post by: megamanlan on June 26, 2017, 03:46:03 AM

I've been playing around with The Horsemen and honestly, Symbolics need support. Here are 2 ideas I thought of:

Spoiler: Come and See (hover to show)

Come and See
4/4 Silver Good/Multi Evil Territory Class Enhancement
Rev. 6:1
If used by a Revelation Character: Search Deck, Discard Pile or Reserve for a "Seal" Enhancement. If used by a Symbolic Character during battle, Discard an Opponent's card. Cannot be prevented.

Spoiler: Symbolic Influence (hover to show)

Symbolic Influence
4/4 Crimson/Pale Green/Orange/Black Curse
Ps. 76:33
If your Symbolic Character is Discarded or Banished, you can shuffle it into your Reserve instead. Protect Symbolic Characters from being sent to the Deck. Cannot be negated if a Human is in play.

Thoughts?

I really like Come and See, it's a solid card for battle, while having some utility outside it. I also like two different abilities depending on who it is used by (of both in the case of the 4 Horsemen, among others).

Symbolic Influence is nice, I'm not sure how good it will be until there are more symbolic characters, but it might be fun to try a Four Horsemen side strategy in a deck, and Symbolic Influence could be worth the slot. I do like that it protects from Shuffle, Topdeck and Underdeck all in one short line.

If kindness error gets the symbolic identifier, symbolic influence makes it really powerful! ;D

My idea is that Symbolics never truly die, they just go away for a while.

I like the design of Come and See, but not a huge fan of the title (unless it's required to always be read in a thunderous voice).  ::)

Perhaps something like "Opening of the Seals"

I wanted to do it in quotes but it won't export, I could do Breaking the Seals. (I have a card with that name already, and yea, Come and See is not a great name)
