My first posting of cards! The idea seems to be catching on, so I tried whipping some up to "see" rather than "read".
My icons came from overpower.ca. For some reason, the energy icons show a circle in the center that's a little distracting. I've never had this problem with them before, but I saved these as high dpi .png files instead of my usual mid dpi .jpeg files. Maybe that's why, I'm not sure.

Go to http://justaopfan.deviantart.com/gallery/ to see the rest. There's even a journal entry on intended use & some design notes.
Well, I tried to post 6 cards but they don't show. Man I suck at this!
update: 8/7/15 - After walking through the process with a "good buddy" (in person, not via web), he was able to figure out what i was doing wrong and help me correct myself. Justa updated these to prove to myself that i could do it! No if i ever come up with any ideas again, i'll be able to put them up the right way! They show awful large, though. i'll get into the 21st century yet, justa you wait & see!
These are gorgeous... And powerful! Do they need to be OPDs ? Would they fuse with each other and or MP PC?
No, they would definitely NOT be OPDs.
Please read the journal entry for fusion considerations. (Saves me from retyping.)
These seem really interesting. I like that they are more powerful than anypower power cards, that they help dual stat decks get spectrum KO's (without helping single stat decks), and that they are harder to use since you have to meet both requirements.
You mention that you didn't make level 1 power cards because anyone can use them. It seems like level 2 power cards could also be excluded for the same reason (not everyone can use them, but most characters can use 4 or 5 of the 6 possible card). Is there are particular reason why 2's were included?
I felt that there were enough characters with a 1 stat to gum up the works a little using 2s. I don't want to make SKO too easy, just add an extra strategy element. They could GREATLY help a one-color team! The lower numbers work well for one-stat characters to give them a choice of off-ability hits (assuming, of course, that you get them to hit). Justa don't "cross streams". :)
These look awesome! I'm a fan of the mechanic as well.
Also, bonus points for including AoA Nightcrawler and Morph.
But I'm curious, what was the source for the FS4 art? It's cool, but I don't recognize it. Looks like some kind of alternate cyclops. Same question for the FS3, which is some kind of female 1-clawed wolverine?
Yes, FS4 is Cyclops, and FS3 is Shadowcat. I found the pictures in the image section for the characters on Comic Vine. No sure what Earth-version they're from. I thought they'd fit the set well, and the main point was to get the cards up to see instead of just reading about them.
The cyclops is earth-616, that's phoenix force Cyclops, when the phoenix took over, cyclops, white queen, namor, colossus and magik.
I'm still catching up on X-titles from 2010-now... that Phoenix force story should be interesting. I just finished Warren Ellis's Astonishing X-Men run with the whole Forge and alternate earth invasion storyline.
Overall though, they look good.

Actually no, that's the
post-Phoenix Force Cyclops. It's his current costume designed by Chris Bachalo. And the 3FS Kitty is from a time when she was using one of Wolverine's broken claws as a weapon. Anyway Justa, good job. I hope you don't mind me remaking my own version of these once I get around to the OP3 expansions.
Please do!
The art selection for these cards is fantastic!!
I was going to ask about the text at the bottom of the card, but I read the Journal (link here: Journal (http://justaopfan.deviantart.com/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-512941687)) and I think this is a great idea!
well, i can't find my journal entry to update it, so i'll retype a few thoughts:
these cards are meant to be played "as written". all intended requirements are contained on the cards themselves; no house rules required (unless you want to create some). i originally did not do level 1 Power cards because anybody could use them. but seeing Photonicide's renewed interest in max-6 teams, i thought i should take them all the way down to zero. but i still didn't want to have them playable by everybody, since all the others have restrictions.
i will post one of each below, but you can see all 12 cards here (https://justaopfan.deviantart.com/gallery/).

as always, let me know what you think.
Yes! Thanks for including level 0 power cards! ;D
Are the level 0 2-power cards meant to be played differently than your others? I ask this because they have the extra text "to attack" and "to defend" on them.
no, justa total cock-up on my part! :-[
the "to defend" number is supposed to be an 8. i've updated all 6 level 0 cards to correct them. thanks for noticing. (i wish i had.)
Makes sense! These level 0 power cards will follow the rules for level 0 power cards on the emporium (http://justabgkid.com/emporium/ae-0powercards.html) but don't follow the level 0 power card rules for NEO (https://sites.google.com/site/neogamerules/) or my MaxSix expansion (http://www.maxsixoverpower.com). It is great to have new custom cards for the different house rules! With inspiration from you on the card text, I might add the following to my level 0 power cards "Receives double bonus from universe cards. Draw one card discard duplicates."
no, they don't quite match Chris' version on the Emporium.
his don't contain "may be used as either type", which allows mine to be used for Specials like AE where a multipower card would not normally be usable. i added that for flexibility of use and for fun.
also, his 0M & 0A count as duplicates of level 8 power cards, and the 0E, 0F, 0S, & 0I count as duplicates of level 7 & 8 power cards. i figured that if you had 7s or 8s, you wouldn't want to be using 0's in the first place.
