stayin on the klaw train

i would assume you could keep (in your hand) a card usable only by a KO'd character during the discard phase in order to use it with this special.
i believe this is the first card in the set with a text bubble.  not that i'm knocking it, because i have no photoshop skills myself, and the artwork doesn't suffer in any way because of it.
again, the list on pg 50 is updated.
thanks, breadmaster!

I believe you CANNOT keep an unusable special for the purpose of discarding

Yet having Disposable Allies placed or in hand makes the otherwise unusable Special "usable".  Interesting paradox.  Severely nerfs the use of the card.

Any updates?

Question about the aspect cards (from another thread): Why are SEWER-Cover of Darkness and SAVAGE LAND-High Evolutionary not one per decks?  Those aspect cards are at the same power level as the Any Character card Guardian Angel and Bastian.  It seems like they should have the same OPD status based on power level.

tempus fugit...

delayed answer, MHC:

those cards are not opds for a few reasons

-with respect to anys, they are opds since any team can use them.  aspects are quite restrictive, so they are generally more powerful.  ex, the any 7s vs the wundagore 7a aspect, which can attack or defend)

-comparing them to other aspect cards, mainly the most powerful aspects are opds.  very useful ones (wundagore again, or falls edge 6) are not.

-from a gameplay perspective, those sites needed powerful aspects to entice players to use them.  basically we gave them the most powerful card that let them win a 'fair' amount of games against control decks.

hey, breadmaster - nice to see you back on the boards again.  any chance any more of the UE cards will be posted?  (I've already made cards from your list so I could do my own play testing using the gedanken method, but it would be neat to see your crew's version.  And no, I didn't save them at high enough resolution to post my versions.)  but if not, that's OK.  Even though several people have told me through their own experience, I'm personally learning the hard way that life takes precedence over OP.

sure, I can post more.  I think there's around 20 left.  70 total were finished out of 154 unique cards (little over half)

another pretty standard klaw card

thanks, man.  others have used that art for other cards, while I had used a pic that fit the title that I had never seen used before; but if you look at some of the stuff I made and posted, I think you'll agree that the people putting the together for you do a much better job that what i'm capable of.  (I focus more on functionality than attractiveness.

things like this are a small pleasure for me when I've got the downtime during this difficult period, so I appreciate it greatly.  the little things make all the difference.  I will update my list on page 50 to include this one and any others you'll post in the future, as I did before.  maybe someday someone more capable than I can finish the others?....  feel free to speak up people, you know who you are.

finishing klaw, a boring ol card (or is it...)



yeah, you'll tend to see the art recycled among homemades, especially when you have multiple people requiring multiple images for new characters.  only so many pinups to go around.  I looked at a bunch of your customs justa; they're better than you're giving credit for!

yes, I have seen the same art used by several people at times.  and you are correct - for most characters it is difficult to find usable pics that are unique from all others.

I thank you for the compliment, breadmaster, though I really wasn't looking for one.  the cards are good enough for me, and a way to get ideas across visually.  but I usually make the text bold, and bigger than what is used by most creators, primarily to make it easier for me to read.  some people don't care for cards that don't fit one of the established (legacy) styles - I myself don't really care how they look as long as they are readable and work well.
I find it fun to try new things with new characters, in the hopes that some will find it useful & spur them to some novel ideas.  several other people also have made it a point to try to tweak existing mechanics, or create brand new ones, hoping to expand the game and keep it growing.  I won't specify names - they know who they are - and I for one really appreciate the effort.  you had some new things in the UE set that I loved.

here's apocalypse's new big boy card

Love the theme of this card! It is also an incredibly powerful special. Fitting for apocalypse.

breadmaster - I like the pic you used.  its a darn sight better than the one I had (with Mikhail, Sinister, Holocaust, & Abyss), not just in art but also resolution.

Photonicide - yes it is a little better than the legacy HQ (draw 3), but if you like to place a lot of cards, chances are the extra card will be lost as a duplicate.  no risk no reward, though.
