    Welcome to week 4 of new card ideas. Thank you again to all those who visited last week and gave some feedback.

    This week, I decided to focus on making up some sub-class group of allies. If you like more explanation on what I mean by “sub-class” please look in this tread. But basically it means having similar allies put together to form a group – so that we can have more interesting abilities and effects.

    Today I’ll show you some ideas for Shadow allies, and an example of an item that’ll have some useful effects on the whole subclass.

    Next week I’ll do the same for Human allies.

    Again, feedback is very much welcome.

    So… let me introduce a group of shadow allies called…

    Blood Sisters

    Name: Blood Seeker
    Type: Shadow ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 4
    Akt/Def: 2 / 4
    Ability: Deals double damage to damaged allies.
    Flavor: The smell of blood puts her in a frenzy.
    Art: Something like this. Or a dark female character half covered in blood with her dagger soaked in blood.

    Name: Blood Maiden
    Type: Shadow ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 2
    Atk/Def: 2 / 2
    Ability: Blood Maiden gains the ability of the next enemy ally to be put into graveyard.
    Flavor: Watch carefully, you’ll only see it once!
    Art: Something like this.

    Name: Blood Witch
    Type: Shadow ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 4
    Atk/Def: 2 / 4
    Ability: Blood Witch lose 1 life. Deal 2 damage to target ally.
    Flavor: Blood is power.
    Art: Something like this. Or this.

    Name: Blood Heretic
    Type: Shadow ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 3
    Atk/ Def: 2 / 2
    Ability: Deals Double damage when attacking a Priest hero.
    Flavor: Your “faith” is nothing!
    Art: Something like this.

    Name: Blood Stalker: 4
    Type: Shadow Ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 4
    Atk/Def: 2 / 4
    Ability: Deals Double damage when attacking a Rogue hero.
    Flavor: You call yourself the master of shadow? HA!
    Art: Something like this.

    Name: Blood Queen
    Type: Shadow Ally: Blood Sister
    Casting Cost: 6
    Atk/Def: 5 / 5
    Ability: All Blood Sisters gain +1 / +1
    Flavor: Fear not my sister. I have come.
    Art: Something like this.

    Name: Blood Ritual
    Type: Shadow item
    Casting cost: 4
    Ability: Sacrifice an ally. Restore target ally’s health. All blood sisters gain +1 atk until the end of turn.
    Flavor: Bring me a slave. A fresh one!
    Art: A human bound up kneeling on the floor. A dark female character holding a dagger above her head about to strike down in a very ritualistic way.

    So... please give some advice/feedback.
    Next week, I'll be doing the same for Humans.

      * 2 coffees later* hahahaha.
      Thanks man. They're great ideas. I'm glad people are catching onto the idea of having types of creatures.

      Just have a few general comments
      1) Although your idea with Orcs and Goblins are great - I thought that SE has been pretty unique and not had the "traditional" fantasy creatures - ie. Elves, Dwaves, Orcs, etc etc. So I thought I'd try and stay away from making cards with those creatures.

      2)That being said... I guess I really like the Leonid idea! I remembered seeing a few potential good art work for Leonids. Maybe this can be a Leonid Knight. And this THe Leonid Paladin. Pretty cool eh?

      I hope it was decaff Anyway, since I'm a long time D&D player (10 years and counting) I've seen some pretty strange s***. Arachnid idea was based on the Driders from D&D and Leonid (really love the illustrations) already exist in MTG under a different name: Leonin. Anyway, here's my inspiration for the Leonid: Ajani Goldmane. And a picture of a Drider: Drider
      Wait till you see what I've got in store for the Light side

      Here's another one I've suggested for epic shadow ally:
      Name: Angel of Torment
      Cost: 6 or 7
      Attack/HP: 4/7
      Effect: As long as Angel of Torment is on the field all creatures get -2/-2.
      6 resources: Return Angel of Torment from your graveyard to your hand.
      Flavor text: Your screams of torment are music to my ears...
      Art: Angel of Torment

      Whao... awesome art! And interesting idea! Would be pretty uber powerful... so I'd prob say 7 casting cost. I like the fact that you've made it cost 6 resources to bring it back... so you can't just keep spamming it out everytime it dies - would cost too much to bring back and recast in 1 turn. Gives them a chance to regroup at least.

      Can't wait for your list of ideas too!

      Taste: The legendary guardian of heaven
      Art: something so

      I really love GENZOMAN's artwork on deviantart, he has some really amazing work that would fit really well into Shadow Era. As for the shadow epic ally, I was a long time mono black player in MTG and I really miss some of the cards from there like Megrim, Mind Rot etc. and the effect on this card is meant to evoke the effect of some of the more expensive black creature cards in MTG that would hurt you as much as they would hurt your opponent.

      Ah... a mono black deck player eh? It was because of people like you that I changed from a mono green player to a blue/red player. hahahahaha
