let me know what you think.
I like. I've got notes for a drax of my own brewing but instead of the average, i was going to do 2 different versions of a character card so ours still won't overlap.
I like the specials, most of the tweaks to them balance out in my head. Feed the beast is clever! nice. Arena Champion seems very thematically appropriate to his style.
When I first looked at power gem i thought too much, but i think i'm wrong. It's only a 6 and it has to hit.
The only 1 I think might be too much now is Endurance Fighter. The DQ increase by 5 pts are all OPD. Granted this one has to be blocked to work. The fact that its a dual icon 5 makes it need to be blocked probably (it could be argued conversely that its ok since those are his two strong abilities). But it seems like anything that has that nice of a secondary (if blocked) ROG effect should maybe be single icon 4?
Sorry if my opinion seems like too much.

Sorry if my opinion seems like too much.
let me start be saying I LOVE IT. feedback is hard to come by. i welcome all opinions, especially if i've gone too far with a card. while striving for novelty, i do want the cards to be usable, and i certainly don't want any that are totally broken or worthless.
i don't mind overlap. i want to expand the game a little in my own way, and repeating character that have been done (some almost to death) doesn't appeal to me. for Drax, you could have 3 different versions - pre-Watch and Watch version, post-Watch & Guardians version, and current version. i've heard he's been re-ressurected/re-rebooted with a slimmer, trimmer body & higher intelligence.
after consideration, i decided you had a point on it being too much, but close. i wanted it to be 2-icon to fit the MMA ring better, and make it hurt more if you let it hit. so i dropped it down to a level 4, and reduced the hits to KO increase to 3. but i like the mechanics of the "hit or suffer consequences" type (like Pip's Detective special).
the link above has been updated.
I think that works perfectly now. 3 is a decent increase for a secondary beneficial effect if blocked especially with his Inherent.

i like it too
