And you've created monsters that aren't dragons! They don't even resemble dragons! I'm so proud.

That makes me so happy, and yet so sad, to hear.

Oh, in addition to the afforementioned 4 cards, future cards include Fennec Fox and Fox Valley.

'kay. Oh, and feel free to make a Fox Speaker. It is an animal-based type, after all.

Level 2, 2300/2000, Humanoid, with a bunch of effects. And a staff resembling a key feature of foxes.

One other thing, you're on the right track of Level ratios. Don't mess it up.

I won't. Fennec Fox is Level One, none of my remaining Foxes exceed Level Two, I'm giving them a searcher (do you want it to be another statue?), and yeah, I'll give them a Speaker.

Anything else?

Aarikku · Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:36 am Post subject:

No reason for it to be a Statue. Check out Mechanical Snake. Though if you want, why not?

What else to recommend...? As always, watch the token producing. Easy Mana is a dangerous business. But it looks like you've got things under control.

Good news for you is, most of my remaining cards are about USING the Mana produced, not making more.

Oh, this is the effect for Fox Force. Tell me if it's too strong.

(Cost Two) Fox Force
Item Spell
Equip only to a Fox. It gains 200 STK for each of your Fox-Tail Mana Tokens (max. 1600). If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle, play a Fox with a lower Level from your Deck.

If you put a max on the ATK it can gain, say, 1600, it'll be fine.

Okay.

One more warning, about the speaker. With Foxes, I'm making it female... and I tend to make my females bustier than you do.

Oh, one last thing. No matter how hard I try, I always default to a manga hairstyle. So don't be surprised if my speaker looks like she got her hair cut at Chez Yubel's.

Yep. But I'm gonna need a rarity for it.

Uncommon. The effect is too powerful for a Common, but the Rare slots are booked. And it's not Secret Rare good.

Oh, and I'm thinking the same for Fox Force.

Aarikku · Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 7:30 pm Post subject:

Okay, but there's only 11 Uncommons in your set too - five of which are now Foxes. Maybe you should make it bigger.

...Aaand I don't have an effect for Fox Force. BTW, you can't keep making cards by using the word 'Fox' and then an attacking word. Alas, your creativity.

One last thing - Fox Blast is borderline broken. Or maybe it's just plain broken.

Here's the effect of it again. And I'll change the card tame.

(Cost Two) Tails of Fury
Item Spell
Equip only to a Fox. It gains 200 STK for each of your Fox-Tail Mana Tokens (max. 1600). If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle, play a Fox with a lower Level from your Deck.

And Blast, yeah. I didn't realize how powerful it was until I looked at it as it's written on a card.I'll make a new effect, and a new name.

(Cost Two) Furri-ous Explosion
Continuous Trap
Effect: When a Fox is attacked, you can tap 1 Fox-Tail Mana Token. In that case, at the end of the Battle Phase, destroy the monster that attacked.

'Kay.

Oh, THAT'S Fox Force. 'Kay, I'll work on it. (I'm also working on an Alternate art Noble Dragon so I can make a Tyson Character deck ^_^)

Furri-ous Explosion looks fine, but you MAY get some unfortunate jokes about the word 'furry'.

Well, the archetype's not complete yet, but there are enough cards to create a Fox deck. I may just post one.

While we're here, what should Lyaerna - Lord of Serpents do?

I dunno. There's only, like... three other snakes in the game. And no special Snake archetype, so making it snake support is kinda out.

Well, it's your card, so it's up to you. Just don't make it ridiculous or dumb. Or ridiculously dumb.

I asked because I don't have a clue what I want from it. I said I wanted something Metagame worthy - kinda like what you described Lightning Dragon to be. Although a different effect.

Let's see. What effects are absent or short in Shmod?

Aarikku · Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 7:52 pm Post subject:

Well, if you're looking for a unique effect, categorizing it is not a good idea.

No category is fine. A type would be useful; I'll say Earth. The highest decent, easy-to-play Level in Shmod is 3. If the effect is great, than the stats should be medium.

(Level Three) Lyaerna - Lord of Serpents (Earth)
Category: N/A
Effect: ???
STK/ 3000
GRD/ 3000

Well, I'm id a bind for what to do on the three Warlord Dragon support Dragons; Vaguard, Brigadier, and a new one known as Darkness Dragonling. Aarikku has seen my designs for them and (metaphorically) spat in their faces, so I need new ideas. Any amount of spitballing would be VERY helpful.

Naardaas · Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2009 3:23 am Post subject:

I'll admit that one of them was like a LV monster. Brigadier Wyvetn was. But Vanguard Dragon was the standard [Tribute to play [Insert Monster Name Here] from your hand], and Darkness Dragonling was a hand searcher. Neither of those is LV-ish.

And that's not what I asked. I asked for something you'd prefer. That isn't very helpful, since it gives me nothing to play off of.

I know, but I'm not exactly rolling on alternate ideas. I want something fresh for the Wyvern, something not currently (widely) used here that involves battle (keeping with the military ranking theme). And sadly, that was the only thing I could think of, since I thought it going off instantly was too easy.

How about:

(Level Three) Brigadier Wyven (DARK)

ATK/ 3400
