THOUGHTS? :)
I dig em... there's alot of new defense in Magik and Pixie, which may or may not get support. Ms. Marvel is way awesome, and a whopping 22 points! Hope needs one better special... I would change Time Traveler to something different... but you can toss out some ideas for that one.
X23 needs a card like Blindside... a 3F that lets you make 2 additional attacks at +2. And some other chain attacks. She's a bred killing machine. There was a Magneto card in one of the Evils threads... I can't remember if it was a 6 or a 4 (I'm guessing...) but anyway, if successful, let you search for a teamwork card playable by Magneto and play it immediately. She could use that, perhaps. In addition to her Wolvie nonOPD inherent, I would add that her Fighting rating is 8 for offense. She would be able to play 8F teamworks and power cards, but be a little bit weaker on defense. These are my suggestions for now.:)
how about
COLOSSUS(AR)
Acts as a level 7 Strength attack
SHADOWCAT(HY)
Acts as a level 6 Fighting attack. If successful, Target Character must
discard 2 cards of opponent's choice. Cards may be Placed or in Hand.
for Magik
X-MEN AFFILIATION (GJ)
Acts as a level 4 Energy, Strength, Fighting, or Intellect attack. May make 1 additional attack.
for
Ms . Marvel
I like the cards :) but I don't think hope or pixie merit 6 intellect. It would imply that they are smarter than cable and I don't think that's the case.
Love the input! I ratified a few of the cards up top in the first post...give a read and let me know!
like the magik stuff. she was one of my faves as a kid. was so bummed when she died, and now she's back, but i don't really collect new stuff anymore :(
i think X-23's card are too good, lol.
thanks for including my suggestions
X-men connection
does sound better
I used X-Man as my example for coming up with X-23's cards. Similar grid, and really powerful specials-but, that make them a target to be taken out early, so you need to defend them somehow...and with a limited grid, its gotta come from somewhere else. So, she can be destructive, if you can keep her alive long enough to draw her cards!

I'm not sure what you mean by, "limited grid" since she is a max-8...

Limited for spectrum, for sure. But she IS a max 8. I like her. I don't really dig cards that allow for followups after teamworks cards... Multiple Man is cool because he has the built in ability to do that. Playing a card for it puts you down a card in hand, no venture, etc. But otherwise, I like her... alot, actually.
Pixie could go 4 in the intellect slot, but you'd have to stop there. I'm not sure a 4 is accurate, but she'd be so cheap, and with a teammate avoid, she'll be in Beyonder decks like crazy! Maybe... I don't like to speak with too much authority unless I'm absolutely certain. But 6414 is fifteen points, and that's cheap! I would guess that Snareguy was going for another reserve fit in the essence of Silver Sable or Spider Woman... 2 6 stats for optimal fitting, and the teammate avoid thing. But you could drop the Intellect to 4, and she would still fit on alot of teams, particularly as an X character. Spider Woman and Silver Sable might team up with the Xmen, but I'm not really a fan of either of them, but I think Pixie (and pretty much all of the New Xmen in Kyle and Yost's run) were really cool. That book was fantastic, and some of the best X wrtiting/art I've ever enjoyed. Snare, you should do Prodigy and Surge, Rockslide, Elixir... all of them!
ncann...troop touched on this a bit, but i mean limited in the sense that all she can block with power card wise is (essentially) fighting power cards. If you were to use her in a dual type deck (there's tons of strong E/F decks), then she's got no limited access to other power cards...in a pure F deck tho, yea..not a problem at all. Similar to X-man...in an E deck, he's fine, but toss him in a dual type deck, and he's limited, even with an 8.
Troop...I originally had her at a 4I, but you hit the nail on the head...I was going for another Sable/Spider Woman character that would be used in reserve that could give more flexibility. Between SW, SS, and Pixie, we've got the E/S, F/I, and E/I dual 6 grids covered. Ideally, I'd love to see E/F, F/S, and S/I defensive options as well, and round everything out..I feel like that could lead to more deck possibilities!
I'd love to do more of the new x-men, but I'm honestly not too familiar with them..I caught Pixie during her time with Generation Hope (her and hope were the only characters I really dug), but I did see Elixir in X-Force for a bit..He could easily fill that defensive E/F reserve i just mentioned...hm....
Takin a look at trying to figure out cards for these characters....anyone wanna throw out some ideas?
Elixer
Sage
Power Girl
Teen Titans (I like Bios' stuff, but anyone think they should/can be split up into separate heroes?)
Guardians of the Galaxy
Sentry
Hi guys, I made myself a hero card template like my power card template, now it can just pump out hero cards. Here are the ones from here, made a mistake on Hope's grid but didn't want to back and fix it...lol. I hate how photobucket drops the image quality.

fantastic looking cards! especially x23 #2!
These are totally awesome... except for the name of each character. That's the only part of the cards that looks generic. See if you can work on that... otherwise, these are ace homemades!
those look pretty damn good

all he needs is a gradient.
you are correct sir, it was a gradient i needed to add. Also fixed the shadow so it looks closer to the originals.

Dang chuu...I'm blown away by what you've done! do you have a template for specials as well? I could do the dirty work of finding images for you if you'd be willing...lemme know!
Teamwork and Specials templates are next on the list.
awesome..i'll start collecting images, and have em ready when you are!
check out my new character cards in my thread :) the specials template would actually be the easiest to make...
You might not be able to get it perfect, but you might be able to find a way to get the effect in the name that the originals had with the gold wavy effect. I'm not sure how to use photoshot... I always used paintshoppro for my homemades. I jsut ended up using color schemes and chisel effects or shadows that looked good to me. Maybe Jack can help you get that down, or PowerBalance even. His looked really nice, but I think they may have actually been drawn out for the names on his characters.
just did chuu! Power girl was one I was thinking of myself...it looks great! while you're in the mood, you wanna make a few more? lol
SnareguyUT - You've actually picked good images for the characters, which really matches the "lineless" style of the original artwork! Regarding the Gold Wavy text, I could ask my graphics designer on your behalf of you'd like, as the graphics designer managed to imitate it almost identically. The wavy effect is stretched depending on the width of the names, and has three distinct bands in them.
cant take the credit on the images...chuu went out of his way and did this all himself! he just used the grids i came up with!
created the template to make specials with. Border can be any colour, gradient or texture.

awesome! mind if I find some art for the specials and have you mock those up?
in the meantime, came up with a few more characters...feel free to comment on ideas! (and mock up hero cards chuu! :) )
Sage...5-5-1-8
Photographic Memory (OPD)-Exchange this card for any 1 card in the dead pile and play it immediately.
Jumpstart potential (OPD)-Target teammate gains +2 to all actions for remainder of game
Hacker-Negates the effect of any 1 special card
Predict attack-Only attacks made with universe cards may be made against Sage for remainder of battle.
Multi-tasking-May have 1 additional card placed. No dupes.
Effective combat-Acts as a level 7 fighting.
Access the data net-Search the draw pile for any 1 power card and place in hand. May not be dupicate.
Guardians of the Galaxy...4-7-7-4
Coordinated Attacks(OPD)-GotG may make 1 or 2 follow up attacks after they play a Teamwork card for remainder of game
Star-Lord (OPD)- Target hero must discard 1 placed card. If successful, draw 2 cards. Do not discard if duplicate.
Rocket Racoon- Acts as a level 3 Intellect attack. May not be defended by a card with an Energy Icon.
Groot-No cards with a strength icon can be played against GotG for remainder of battle.
Gamora-Acts as a level 6 Anypower. May be used to attack or defend. May not be combined with universe cards.
Drax the Destroyer-Acts as a level 9 Strength attack. If successful, GotG may not be defended with special cards for game.
Trying to think of a different negative drawback to drax. What about if successful, GotG is -2 to all actions for remainder of battle?
Thinking up cards for Sentry too...i like the grid of 8-3-7-3 for him...thoughts on these?
Damn, I really like the ideas! And Chuu, you have some mad skills man! May I ask where you get all the images from? Seems you have a great library of images!
SnareguyUT, this might make a really good expansion in itself. A few more characters, a couple of new game ideas, and you're all set to go! Love to help playtest what you're working on, as it gets fleshed out.
I feel that access the data net should be a OPD. Power Port for Nightcrawler is a OPD, and he can't use the power card he gets... just something to consider.
And Drax I think should remain just as the Cyclops special... no special card defense for remaider of game. 9's are big, and when they aren't OPD, they should have a considerable drawback. -2 for battle might not be enough to make the card fair. Then again, it might be... I dunno. I almost wouldn't give the card to anyone else... no one has nonOPD 9's, and I kinda like it unique to Cyke, but that's just me. Otherwise, these are cool! Star-Lord's card is way awesome, and I think that would be a perfect pitch for someone in the Evils set... it's something all new, and powerful without being broken. Great card, Snare!
Sorry, couldn't find a better picture of Sage (in High Quality) that I hadn't already used for my power cards, i don't like reusing images...lol.

is 'sexy ladies' an any hero, or will there be a sexy ladies team? ;)
these are really good man! GotG is particularly nice
If only you could move the characters to the left a little. :)
Sorry. That's at least a 2 hour job.
Very nice cards!
They're still sweet.:)
making a few edits to the cards per troopers suggestions...more in a sec..
