Lieutenants!!!!!

Lieutenants *

An idea from playing magic. Like planeswalkers. But a lot different. They are a completely separate altogether so there not Hero's and their not allies. They all have powers like Hero's and gain one SE per turn that cannot be increased or decreased. All lieutenants have the ability of when they are on the board you hero cannot be targeted or damaged. This showing that they always throw themselves in There
Leaders harms way. These card are not protected by protector like cards from aeon and birgette. And can always be targeted but they may have protector themselves to protect *allies.*

Here are possible ideas.*

Ragnar ironclaw
Wulven lieutenant
2 attack 8 health
3SE all creatures that have been damaged by Ragnar are there for disabled.*
6cc

Shieldar Gustafson*
Priest lieutenant*
0 attack 12 health
2SE Your hero gains 3 health*
6cc

Elemental pariah
Elemental lieutenant*
2 attack 10 health
Protector*
2SE elemental pariah takes 2 damage and all allies gain 1 attack and 1 health permanently
6cc

Great armorsmith
warrior lieutenant
0 attack 8 health
1SE All your weapons and armour In play and in hand count has having 1 less casting cost until end of opponents next turn
5cc

Librarian Erasmus
Mage lieutenant*
1 attack 10 health*
3SE all ability damage do 1 extra damage and count as not being affected by armour or abilities
5 cc

Regdar shadowtrap
Hunter lieutenant*
2 attack 10 health
2SE Play a hunter trap from your hand without paying the casting cost
6 cc

Mialee pocketsnatch
rogue lieutenant*
0 attack 8 health
3SE target opponent discards 2 cards from his hand chosen by them
6 cc

I hope you like them please comment!!

hey awall, i think you may be onto something in relation to a seperate card class of allie.

Ive noticed the design team and final edition of cards have made clear distinctions around allie 'class' and 'type of damage' which will allow the game to develop in other areas which could see a 'wulfen general' etc.

for me im up for anything that adds a different layer of game play becuase thats what keeps me interested, its just the balancing issue and taking into account the existing card pool.

my intial thought is this could be a step to far to soon, but will most likely be a an obvious expansion at some point...

So a type of hero bodyguard but just not as powerful as these so far. I like the sound of that. My main idea was I wanted something that was powerful but not protected by common allies do can still be damaged.

I like it. I like new mechanics/concept added to game, which always add new style of game play.

One suggestion is perhaps "always protecting hero" is interesting but considering amount of health these guys have may inevitably prolong the gameplay, which I myself is totally ok but some people may not like it. So somehow you might want to control this. Like Anurak's previous suggestion of "Intercept ability" i.e. only the first attack is intercepted (if I remember correctly).

And I almost wonder with this concept, you can now actually make distinction between What a Big teeth (Class Weapon) and Hero Weapon. I.e. Hero weapon can be only equipped by Hero, but Class Weapon is actually something that can also be equipped by Lieutenant i.e. just like you said basically treat these like mini heros!

Hmmmm I like the idea. Maybe only one attack per turn is blocked by the lieutenant? That would make I more fair I think. And I was thinking maybe having class weapons available. Or being able to equip weapons to the hero which increase basic by however much the weapon is.

I really like this concept. Obviously all lietenant has to be unique by default but also you need to make sure no more than 1 lieteuant on one side.

EDIT: Sorry, that was Ragnar Blackmane. Ignore me. :)

Damn you spotted it preybird!! Yeah Ragnar was from that character. I couldn't think of anything else

i like it!

I am glad people like the idea! :D

Great idea, but anticipate for everyone switching to Logan. These liutenants are pesky, but one hit by Logan's ability and they die, GG.

Sugestion, liutenant for Wulven is not that great compared to the other, I think "dig" ability for 2se is better. "Ragnar dig the soil, the top 5 non-allies card are shown to the player. The heroes can pick one to be drawn to their hand, or cast it into play for 2 resources".

Flavor: "Where did I hide that bone?"

Most lupus dig anyway, LoL.

And for Elemental liutenant, Im sugesting Sparking (by Preybird, or I forgot who) whereas he acted as a superbuffed Spark 1/10 and can immediate summon 2 Sparks from the deck at 3se cost.

Will watch for progress

My idea for the elemental was to create a huge protector. Oh and in reply to Logan ability. It states target 'ally' if damaged will get destroyed. These are seperate from allies. They are like support ability and items. Completely seperate.

Really like the idea of lieutenants, think it would be a great new edition.

Not sure about suggested characters but the concept I think would be brilliant.

WEll I wanted to provide a flavour of what they could be like.

I glad you like the idea

to early in the game for these kind of cards. good idea but multiple expansions are needed for these cards not to be completely and ridiculously OP.

Can you imagine plainswalkers being added in The Dark expansion? .....Nico Bolas in a 4th edition deck??

not that those early magic cards weren't OP as hell, but of course most only became fully OP after other cards were released.....

Anyway, i like the idea, but i think the game isn't ready for it.

Hmmm putting it like that. I think you are right. But it is just food for thought for any DT members stumbling across this. I have loads of ideas that can be used.
