Title: Mighty Warrior is Back!
Post by: Ironisaac on May 11, 2016, 10:33:48 PM
Two of the most disappointing cards IMO are Warrior in training (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/redemption/images/a/a8/Warrior_in_Training_-_Warriors.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/241?cb=20100523013855 (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/redemption/images/a/a8/Warrior_in_Training_-_Warriors.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/241?cb=20100523013855)) and Mighty warrior(http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Mighty_Warrior_(C) (http://redemption.wikia.com/wiki/Mighty_Warrior_(C))). Cool names, cool concepts, but TERRIBLE abilities! so, here is a combo of both cards in one! I present Soldier/Warrior! Feedback welcome!

Hmmm... something like this would be cool to print for my winners card...

Very cool idea! We may just have to borrow that some day. ::)

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think Warrior's ability is really strong enough to make it worthwhile having to attack with Soldier 3 times first (because his decrease ability won't activate unless he's in battle) as basically a no s/a initiative hero.

I would agree! How about something like this: "Starts as Soldier and decreases 1/1 per turn until he reaches 0/0. Heal Soldier and become Warrior. Warrior may discard an Evil Character in battle or search deck for any good enhancement and play it. Cannot be prevented." This way he gets the decrease and plays all red and once he dies he is healed to Warrior with a little more potent ability. What do you think? I really like the dual name Hero idea!

I didn't want to make him too powerful, but if you guys think he's not powerful enough, i'm all for a better ability!

Actually i mistyped Warrior's ability. It should be an Evil Character in a territory not in battle as the ability would happen before a blocker is presented.

Hmmm, after revisiting my old soldier/warrior, I think it could use some upgrades...  8)

I just want to publicly thank Isaac for choosing Mighty Warrior as his player card  ;D

Mighty Warrior has always been my favorite "classic Hero" and I am so pumped to have a version of him that will be playable in competitive decks. True story, I nearly picked Mighty Warrior as my first player created card back in 2015.  8)

Also major props for deciding on the original artwork...such a boss!

It's actually not full art. Each of the winner cards has the same textured border on the bottom and a full art look on top.

Thanks, I actually had your t2 deck in mind when I was making this!  ;D

Truth be told, I had completely different art on it until two Thursdays (?) ago. I kept going bak and forth between an old painting of Sir Galahad (that looked pretty cool, but it looked more like a pilgrim on a holy journey rather than a mighty warrior) and the art on Naharai. I've always like the art on Naharai and felt it was wasted on him, so I wanted to use it, but it ultimately just didn't fit the theme of "Mighty Warrior." I was originally against the original mighty warrior art, because I always thought it looked bad and was too cartoony, but I really like this high quality one, especially in half full art.

I’m really happy to finally see a red/green hero, so thanks Isaac. :) I can only hope more of them will show up in the next expansion!

Fun fact, it was The Guardian's idea to make him Red/Green, so you can thank him for that.  :thumbup:

Being symbolic is going to catch a lot of people off guard. Can't use Writ or Charms on him. Can't use Falling Away (CoW) on him. Such a strong Hero!

By the way, I still have all of your cards!   :P
