hi guys, thanks for the suggestions.  Tussin, you're right, the QI card is basically Iceman's FU, i'm going to change the code on it to FU.  I had forgotten all about that card.  As for the BA, it was originally supposed to be a 3 attack but then decided against it (which i forgot to update)since that would make it an OPD.  Rapture has a level 0 BA that's not OPD which is what I wanted to replicate.  You'd be suprised how many characters can't defend themselves nowadays.  Although I am thinking of flipping it to "Can only be defended by a teammate" that way your opponent will have to burn their special defense cards on these attacks.  i'll see about adding another big attack for her.

MHC

Since Sonja has a +2 to all actions, a draw 3, a level 6, and multiple hard to block low level attacks, the character is already pretty strong, so I don't think a big attack (like an 8 or 9) is necessary. 

I have a question about the inherent ability.  Is the intent of the inherent ability that Sonja dies at the end of the battle if Berserker Strength is in play, or that she is able to survive and participate in the next battle?  If the former is correct, then I think you should change the wording to something closer to what Phoenix has.  Something like the following would work: "When KO'd, Red Sonja may continue to fight and is not discarded until the end of battle If Berserker Strength is in play."

If the latter is correct, then I think some change is needed since if Sonja was "KO'd" in the first battle, she would automatically be KO'd at the start of the next battle (which would then prevent the reserve from coming up??).

thanks for the feedback MHC, i do think that Sonja had enough attacks.  And you're right, i'll change her inherent to be like Phoenix's as that is the effect that I was trying to copy.

I agree with MHC on the inherent - I missed it on my first pass, but I believe he's correct.

Also, I can see your point(s) on not giving the character a big attack.  She's also got an extra bit of strength that I initially overlooked in the fact that none of her specials are in her strongest attribute, meaning she brings 3 off-color attacks to a fighting deck, which is very nice.

Also, she might have one of the strongest CD's around - are Doubleshot cards very popular in the current meta?  I've never been able to get them to work for me, personally.

ah, somebody noticed the CD :) it definately is very strong since there are very few decks that use double shots (avengers mansion and maybe X-mansion) BUT don't forget that artifact cards are also Tactic cards :)

are aspect cards also tactic cards?

Chuu - I too think the attack values are sufficient as as.  But I kind of like the IA the way it is, too.  It is the Phoenix IA, but it only takes affect in the one battle that Beserker Strength is in play.  If in play and hits on her qualify for KO, she plays the rest of the hand.  After venture is totaled, ROB cards go away, and dead is dead.  The Reserve moves up for the next battle.  When I saw your previous character card for her posted (with the 5 Strength), I was hoping Beserker Strength was non-OPD.  In keeping with the +2, how about "Strength increases to 7 ROB - DTR, dump dupes"  The effect could happen several times, it emphasizes the Strength aspect, and allowing a draw potentially negates the card disadvantage for using it.  It also could suck out opponent's negates, to allow other cards to hit.
She Devil seems to work as a 3 just fine.  If it was "must be defended by a Special", it would need to be an OPD.  But it can be defended by target's own Special, or a Power card.  No version of teammate avoid, no double shot (but who would), etc.
With all of the battling she does, how CAN she remain so scar-free?  It's not like she hides much.  Great cards!

Hi Justa, I think I will still change the inherent just so that there are no misunderstandings and it get has to get metaruled (LOL) I decided to decrease her strength as she only weight about 130 pounds and is only as strong as a peak level athlete her weight would be.  I understand how Wolverine and Deadpool (Mutants) would have 5 strength but not Red Sonja, that's why I had to knock it down a bit, sure doesn't explain how Captain America only has 4 strength but whatever :P  I think making Berserker Strength include a draw aspect would make it too strong. Most competitive players build their decks in such a way to minimize duplicates, and people would even play it last like the typical draw 3 cards which would also greatly disminish the probability that there will be duplicates.  I still think I should tweek she-devil with a sword, i'll at least make the icon and wording match :) As for her being scar free, divine intervention :) in the comics she made a pact with a goddess which granted her unsurpassed fighting abilities and protection from battle injuries...

Should unsurpassed be an 8?

It would explain the (lack of) scars...

ya, i was thinking about it, but she doesn't have that "edge" that puts all the others at 8 fighting.  I think the only one that doesn't have the edge i'm talking about is Bullseye...i don't think he's deserving of an 8 fighting...

Hi Guys, been pretty busy and I lost my internet this weekend which is hell when you're a cyber junkie like I am so I hadn't been able to post a some more cards.  Here is Starfire, she's a team oriented character which I really tried to convey in her One Per Deck specials.  Also, I fixed some of the typo errors on Red Sonja.
