So, I am always thinking up new cards, but posting them one at a time on the forum here can be tedious, and they get lost in the shuffle. As such, I started creating a bunch of them on the A1 internal forums and then, with the feedback and suggestions of the other guild members, tweaked and adjusted for balance and usefulness.
That said, I give you the current list of card ideas that I/we feel are relatively balanced, and will work within the framework of Shadow Era's current mechanics. (The only sad part is that there is no way to test them in real life)
Feedbackand thoughts welcomed!
