Card suggestion: Frostmourne

[ahmet476]

card name: Frostmourne (don't know if it would breach any copyright since it's a weapon in Warcraft games)
class: warrior only (like Berserker's Edge)
cost: 5
attack power: 2
durability: 4
type: hero item - weapon

When your hero damages an ally in combat while Frostmourne is in play, that ally is frozen for 1 turn.

Alternative text: Allies damaged with Frostmourne is frozen for 1 turn.

Flavor text: "Whomsoever takes up this blade shall wield power eternal. Just as the blade rends flesh, so must power scar the spirit." (again this is from Warcraft)

It may be made so that it damages hero for 1 every time you kill an ally with it, if it seems too powerful as it is. If I want to compare it with Anklebreaker, it also reduces the base attack of attacked ally for one besides one turn disable and it has no drawback.

Looking forward to comments on this. This might be the weapon Amber's been looking for. Honestly, her only really viable option is Jeweler's Dream imo. I used Dimension Ripper with her but not in every deck. I feel the need to be wary when to use it and which cards I haven't drawn from my deck yet etc. Rusty Long Sword is just meh.. damages you for one and has only 2 durability, costs 3, taking your 3cc slots.

Personally, I feel that this weapon is overpowered. Comparing it to Dimension Ripper, it has the same cc, same damage, and 1 more durability. 2 more damage is already pretty strong, but with Amber that's 4 more damage, which is deadly. Also, the effect is arguably better, since it doesn't benefit your enemy in any way.

Making it into an Elemental weapon would be cool, because I feel they want a more consistent weapon. However, Zaladar is already very strong, and this would give him amazing board control. If you add it to the Elemental card pool, I'd change the freeze from on contact to a 1-2 se cost, that way it makes it harder for Zal to use correctly while Amber is still able to do very well with it.

DarkVoid came up with the idea to make this 3 durability instead of 4. I like it that way but he didn't write it coz he wants to it to be available to Elementals too but I don't like the SE activation for freezing.

Dimension Ripper is a bad comparison, since Dimension Ripper is for two classes and thus has to be weaker than a weapon for one class to maintain balance conditions. Furthermore, disabling an ally for a turn =/= drawing a card. Personally, I think its fine since it is a little weaker than Anklebreaker but Warrior weapons are already slightly stronger than Rogue weapons on average. This of course changes if cards are released to take advantage of the Frozen keyword (something like Shatter - kill Frozen ally).

Blizzard would like the name of this so much. After you give them couple million bucks of royalties.

@Unruler
Yeah, that's why I added the sentences in parantheses. the card name and flavor text is a place holder.

@snow_man
Thanks.

Can a moderator move this to Card Suggestions sub-forum if it's possible?

[ahmet476]

Thanks Danae for moving it to appropriate sub-forum.

edit: Interesting. How does the link in my sig still work? Did you edit that too?

I would take away the elemental aspect of the weapon and make it disable the enemy ally it damages for one turn. Call it Sinew Slicer, lol.
