RECURSION

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the Duelysts!

[watchdog001]

PENANCE (neutral)

Made this as a sort of an anti-control tool. Now the enemy can’t recklessly spam board clears or they die after they kill this on accident (with good positioning it deters Frenzy and “damage nearby enemies” effects aswell). But same goes for you, if you try to clear the board with Tempest, Rebuke, etc. Synergizes poorly with cards like Quillbeast and the like, so you couldn’t really play those, leaving you with a bit less options. You get some more rope, but if you get too careless and attack that Battle Panddo, the same fate awaits you.

Made cards for the other two words too, so might aswell share them (for the contest I pick the card above, tho).

This one is Abyssian.

Feel free to comment on them and tell me which one you like best (so I can feel bad if it’s not the one I picked ;__; )

… and to all a marvelous 2020 ^^

PENANCE (Neutral)

Holy Wounds

[Acidgreen]

Fraudulent(Abyssian)

Mecha’thun from Hearthstone with more difficult conditions

‘Anything of your own’ above means the following.

1. Cards on the your hand and your deck(this includes Riddle generated from opponent’s Sphynx, a card stolen from your opponent, etc.)
2. Your stuff on the battlefield(minions, artifacts, tiles you made, etc.)
3. Your current general card

Congratulations
You just made an Abyssian wincon that is even worse than doom

[bepoest]

My Fraudulent entry.

[miguelosz]

I see, this is the wincon against players with potato-level computers…

[bostwick]

For Fraudulent.

Vanar

Because the game needs more RNG!

What time is it? Voting time! And you know what, this time you can vote twice, 'cause why not?

• Champy
• Paradigm of Innocence
• Penitent One in Silence
• Forbidden Sorcery
• Eldritch Fantasm
• Mischievious Sprite
• Oily Blob
• Desperate Measures

[anjosustrakr]

sputters

Why is there a scroll bar???

Uh oh, looks like you can’t see who voted for what on this poll. Experiments always fail.

Just don’t vote for your own card, okay? Here, how about this genius idea: an honor system to turn yourself in if you broke the rules. I don’t see any flaws in this plan.

• I voted for my entry
• I didn’t vote for my entry (but I’m lying)

Ugh, and don’t look at that pie chart for too long… it keeps freaking out and it’s annoying me.

[paulmuaddib]

Oops, looks like I missed the time to submit this Neutral Fraudulent entry.

[anjosustrakr]

Tiebreaker time!

1 = Eldritch Fantasm
2 = Desperate Measures

(I don’t consider either of these entries to utilize antisynergy, but if the definition were changed a little they would both have it, so it makes no difference either way)
