Fun Trap Ideas

[Lizardjam]

I apologize now: I don't own or have photoshop so I haven't found a way to utilize the card template yet.

I love to play hunters and I love the trap mechanic in this game. Here are some ideas I came up with.

PS: I really like some of BDK16's ideas http://http://www.shadowera.com/showthread.php?5519-New-Hunter-traps-and-Hunter-abilities&highlight=trap+suggestions and I hope these don't step on any toes

Card name: Magnetic Trap
CC: 3
Ability: Play face down. The next Hero Armor or Weapon played by opponent is returned to it's owners hand.

Card name: Decoy
CC: 4
Ability: Play face down. The next Hero or Ally attacking your hero deals 0 damage. Your hero still defends if able.
Desired art: A straw dummy with a paper picture of Gwen or Victor's face on its head.
Desired flavor: I swear it looked SO real!

Card name: Shadow Syphon
CC: 4 or 6 (not sure yet)
Ability: Play face down. The next time opponent Hero gains Shadow Energy your Hero gains 1 Shadow Energy.
(Basically gives you an extra SE on your opponents next turn.)

Card name: Slight of Hand
CC: 3
Ability: Play face down. The next time opponent deals damage to your Hero, draw a card.
Desired flavor: I think it was worth it...I think.

The trap ideas seem interesting. I think dropping the resource cost to 3 for all them would balance it. I'm guessing that slight of hand and shadow syphon only activate once right? If so I would change them to this. I would make slight of hands draw 2 cards instead of 1. I would make shadow shadow syphon activate at the end of your enemy's turn so that the opponent can retaliate with item destruction. I would also up it so you gain 2 se but that might make it op.

Yeah they would only hit once. I was worried if I dropped the cost of shadow syphon it would be OP, but the end of turn idea would work much better. I think 2 SE would be OP either way though

Side Note: Decoy should probobly be this: "Play face down. The next combat attack to your Hero deals 0 damage. Hero Armor looses no durability this way." Since it's not directly hitting the hero per-say it shouldn't hurt the armor, but since it's still an attack defending should be implied.

I was thinking of shadow syphon compared to shadow font. Ya I can see gaining 2 se being op with Gwe, but a part of me feels like the one se is not enough. Another idea would be to make shadow syphon a rogue trap giving the 2 se pump. That would really be a buff for them. I would also suggest making decoy and slight of hand a rogue trap aswell if you do that to shadow syphon. More input from other players would help. I still really like your trap ideas and would like to see more of these implemented into the game.
