The Watchman! one of the first cards i got outside of the starter deck, when i was new enough that i only picked cards if they were "cool looking" :P but, in all seriousness, he needs a reprint. so heres my idea of him. feed back welcome!

Ok, so its pretty unanimous that he's too op, so here's v2!

Interesting idea. I think the first ability does too much. Especially since you can look at their hand then choose your own character for them to block with. They don't even have a way out of it. I do like Christmas brigades though. :)
-
I did the brigades because he is a prophet and a warrior class guy. i thought it would be more fun if you could fit him into more decks, or give old decks more variety.
-
Yeah. I've always wanted to see stuff that allowed more brigade diversity for decks. I guess I just worry about abilities making some combination too powerful. And I guess warrior class too. It seems like every time a new idea comes out for a warrior class card it has red or is silver. Kinda ruins the idea of warrior and weapons class a bit. It say red fits the watchman though.
-
I love everything about this card. Everything except it is waaaaay to over powered :)
-
Yeah, if anything it should be "Discard a card from your hand to choose an EC to block" and even that's still pretty good.
-
Thats way awesome. I think you could even upgrade it to this! .... or underdeck an evil enhancement from hand to....
I feel like this is a good balance. I feel we should make several more choose the blocker cards. But only a few where there is a price to doing it, like this! Easily put in a variotion of deck types yet still amazingly versatile and powerful!
-
I still think its too good of a ctb. There is literally no limitation on the type or who owns the evil character. Honestly I don't think he should be ctb. Red already has jael and asahel and this is way better as is. I like the look at hand aspect. I'd prefer something like or look at top x of deck and you may put them back on top or bottom in any order. With x equal to the number of opponents evil brigades. Just something more watchman like to me. Still cool card and ideas.
-
I agree that Red specifically doesn't need another CtB Hero.
Maybe something like:
"Look at opponent's hand. You may exchange this Hero with a good Prophet in your territory."
Also, being "The Watchman" he would be considered unique.

I do agree that red already has quite a few but my arguement to it would be that unlike the others this has a cost in order to choose it.

For V2, if it were to choose an Evil Character in opponent's territory to block I think it would be OK. Currently you can choose your own every turn and that's probably too good.
