Small Fix on Alert and Able

[Flynn]

Loving the cards!

I'm going to turn this post into a small list of small mistakes I've noticed to help the design team out.


1. Series text on the bottom of Alert and Able says 'Expansion' not 'Prophecies'.

2. I feel the URLs for the card images should be http://www.shadowera.com/cards/pr031.jpg instead of http://www.shadowera.com/cards/ex031.jpg to avoid confusion next expansion.

3. Alert and Able also doesn't show up in the forums. A bunch of the new cards don't actually.

4. Lythite Coating is written as Lythite on the card list.

5. Wording for Devouted Lightbearer:

Current

Your 5 cost or more allies cost 1 less to summon. While Devoted Lightbearer bears an attachment he has steadfast.

Suggested
"Your allies with cost 5 or more cost 1 less to summon. While... steadfast."
or
"Friendly allies with cost 5 or more cost 1 less to summon. While... steadfast."

6. Name Wording for Infinity Core:

Suggested
"Infinite Core" - Infinity isn't an adjective so it doesn't make sense as a descriptive word; reminds me of the way young children describe things. 'Infinity' is a number so it would be equivalent to having the card called "2 Core" whereas using the word 'Infinite' is equivalent to calling the card "Dual Core". I must admit I groaned painfully when I saw a card named Infinity Core.

7. Zantonite's ability seems really forced while still trying to be open. Why not just say "...is unaffected by Shard of Power" instead of leaving it open to future cards? Or perhaps say that he's "unaffected by Shards" instead of
"...cards with the word shard in their name".

Personal Thought: Rejuvenating Ritual seems overpowered. It basically gives every human the defensive part of Jericho's ability for 1 cost.

Is Alert and Able meant to be an attachment? It kind of reads like a Support Ability.

Yeah, it's like Extra Sharp.

7. I agree. That description is terrible.

It's THE Infinity Core; the name for an item that allows you to harness infinity. The core itself is not infinite.

p.s. We'll review the other suggestions and make improvements where required. Thanks for the help!

I still don't full understand, but the word 'The' does soften the blow a bit. Still, it's then like saying "The 2 Core" or "The 5 Core" - doesn't sound good even still. Perhaps if there was a way to say "The Infinity-th Core" it could sound better, but there isn't :/ I'd just throw my vote on a new name, but that's just me!

Suggestions:
Volatile Core
Unstable Core
[Enter metal/sub-atomic name here] Core (eg. Titanium Core, Freon Core)
Quantum Core
Warp Core
Ionic Core
Covalent Core
Heisenberg Core
Any-Sci-fi-Adjective Core
(last 3 are definitely jokes... they all kinda are as they become more cliche as you go down the list... but many of them work) Just don't stoop down to Infinity Core I also groan at words like Xanthonite, Zantonite *ahem*, Kryptonite, etc... I hate cliches

p.s. We'll review the other suggestions and make improvements where required. Thanks for the help!

No Problem! Here to help anytime.

Infinity Core was taken and given SE terms. From the Bakugan wiki, " The Infinity Core is a ball of positive energy and has the power to heal the sick and bring back the dead..." so if it worked before, why not now?
