SF card change suggestions.

[Outl4w]

This thread is to suggest balance/flavor changes you would make to any SF card you may think is over/underpowered.

Please post-
The card name.
How you would change it.
Why you would change it.

Please only post suggestions to keep this neat and tidy should the DT want to reference the ideas presented.
If need be we can add another thread for discussion/debate.

Praxix- I think his ability should be changed to allow damage to the hero as well as an ally. This would add a certain duality to the gameplay routes he can take and make him much more useable.
I've been testing with him often and he always seems to fall just a bit short.

- first attachment you cast this turn costs 1 less, or
- when he enters play you can cast an attachment with cost 2 or less for free, or
- 0: the first attachment you cast this turn costs 3 less

To me, Praxix's problem is his reliability, just that sometimes he'll do four damage, sometimes zero depending on how many allies just happen to be discarded. I think he needs do a fixed amount of damage + X, so something like "opposing ally takes 2 + X damage, where X is the amount of allies discarded to a max of 4 total damage." Would keep his total damage that can be done the same, while at least making it always do some damage, cause right ow it really sucks when you're relying on him to help board control a little and he only winds up doing 0 or 1 damage.

Also, Thoughtripper's Cutlass. If you're going to keep this ability, change the name to Truesight's Cutlass, as it benefits Gwen and other hunters so much more in this form. Or if you actually want it be a Serena card, change it to something someone else suggested somewhere, something like "when combat damage from this weapon causes your opponent to discard, target opposing ally takes 4 damage." Maybe not 4 damage, maybe 3 would be more balanced there, but you get the idea, allows Serena to control the board a bit more, while being specifically beneficial to her because of the discard condition.

I agree with both of these.

I'd rather see praxix ability receive an added "target opposing ally loses all abilities" effect, which goes nicely with the manipulative and mischievous nature of the elementals.
But i agree that its ability is somewhat weak. Compare it to eladwen who does a solid 4 damage in addition to freezing the ally for two turns. If we equal praxix discard ability to her freezing ability then its left with a random 0-4 damage. If anything it should not be capped at 4 damage since gambling should give you the risk of losing big but also the chance of winning big.

Thoughtripper's cutlass is named as such not because its necessarily meant for serena but because it has the "same" ability as she does. In a sense its a weapon with her essence and thats why it bears her name.

+1 to this. IMO Weapon has prefect name for what it does: a discard. Serena being a bad hero is another question.

This seems reasonable.

All hope is gone
Change the cc to 0
Makes for a free cantrip which can be consistently useful and synergize with combo-esque decks. Doesn't much change the value of the second ability.
