yes, 5 cost is high. at that cost it'll be competing against many other expensive cards mid game game. and will prolly not see play until 8th turn most likely because most archers need a weapon to deal damage and most weapons are costing 5-6 range from what i see from the suggestions.

i do think that your bow will see some play if all heroes gain shadow energy regardless. with most archers your bow will deal at least 2 damage and should have no problem turning it into a creature with their stock of energy. if shadow counters are only put into play with the bow, then we would have a problem as a 3/5 isn't going to do much on turn 10 and has too high of a chance to be destroyed by then.

and i really do hope we get x4 of each card we designed. i just stocked up on some hunter cards. and picked up 3 aeons at 700 a piece...ughhh i can't believe the price went up... so now i'm broke in gold.

it'd be awesome if we both one on a collaboration. either way i think it's great that both people get the card for contributing something.

while i hope i can win at least one, i hope one of your designs win too so you can stand as equals with your gf =P

congrats on getting your bow chosen!!
