Hunter Trap Card: Face Down Ally.

[notbobby125]

Ambush (working title)

Hunter Item.

3 cc

When next opposing ally is summoned, this card becomes a 4 attack, 2 health ally and attacks that opposing ally.

Flavor text: "Frontal Assaults are suicide. We attack from the back."

(Note, if the opposing ally survives, it will counter attack, nor will this card attack an ally with stealth, it would just be summoned, nor does it attack before an ally with defense does.).

Currently, if your enemy sees you put down a 3 cost trap, they know it is going to be Death Pit and send out a weenie to absorb the blow from Death Trap. This card is meant to punish the behavior by putting a new Ally onto the board that your enemy now has to deal with, while also killing that weenie. If he put down a fatty, it would have enough health to counter attack and take out the fatty. It would still do some considerable damage to a fatty, although it won't outright kill any ally with at least 5cc.

Now it becomes a mind game, not being able to predict if the ally your going to play is just going to die or die and bring out an enemy ally.

Face down Ally?

How about this?

Your card idea is decent, btw, but I couldn't resist the terrible joke.

It was a great joke, designer/someone who could have me instantly banned it I say the wrong thing.

Now, what would you suggest to take this rom a decent idea to a great one?

Needs better flavor text, a better name, and some awesome art. Perhaps just "Frontal assault invites suicide. We will strike from behind instead." a bit better with the flow and better grammatically, but says the same thing. The name should be something that can also be transferred to the resulting ally. Perhaps "Backland Militia" Or "Forest Skirmisher"?
Regardless, great idea, keep it up!

From Behind! *Ahem* I like it.

Right now, this is a better version of Belladona. 1 energy cheaper, hidden until an ally comes out, and gets a free attack before it's killed. Lower the damage and health by one each (hidden Blake, 2-cost ally) and i'd say it was balanced.

yeah but belladona has +1 carddraw
also a 3/1 card wouldnt mean anything because many t3 allies have 4 health so it would only deal 3 dmg and give you a dead ally and -1 handcard

An addition to your suggested card and/or replacement of such:

Beware of Zombies - 3cc
Hunter Item
Play face down. The next opposing ally to be summoned is disabled for 1 turn, and target ally from your graveyard is returned play.
Flavor Text "A life for a life"

This card I envision, can only be used if there is any ally in your graveyard, otherwise its unable to be played, like Honored Dead. I feel the new expansion should have more use of your graveyard.

An addition to your suggested card and/or replacement of such:

Counter Attack - 3cc
Hunter Item
Play face down. The next opposing ally to be summoned is disabled for 2 turns, and target 3cc ally in your hand is brought into play.
Flavor Text "Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time"

and when you dont have a 3 cc ally? also summoning a jasmin, you would be able to kill an aoen :S
