[QUOTE="MtGtheRPGDM, post: 5567883, member: 6676550"] Where to even start. When sitting down and doing the original concept for the game our main goal was to translate as many cards as faithfully as possible, without breaking things, and keeping things fun. That being said ill try and respond to each of your points. Poison counters have to work a little differently, remember this isnt a 1-1 game. This is a RPG where there are multiple "players" in the game. Making it to where as soon as a someone got 20 posion counters they were straight up dead would make creatures with infect far to over powered. And I dont see how storm for the initative is under powered. Especially if you delay your turn and go last. If there are 4 mages in play, and each of the 3 infront of you cast 2 spells each, you cast 1 spell then a storm spell you are taking about storm 7 How is that underpowered? Card-vantage is a powerful powerful thing in Magic. I myself wrote an article or Star City Games many years ago about the most under rated card vantage cards in the game. (FutureSight and AK were on the list) We felt that drawing cards needed to be powerful in MtG the RPG as well. So we gave it access to your unprepared spells. It also has a backended blade, if you can force your opponent mage to draw a card, they must change some of the spells around from their spellbook. Creatures with shroud in MtG are powerful, think about Troll Astetic for example, shroud and regen. The difference in MtG the RPG is that you can make your own creatures attack someone elses, so troll astetic isnt as powerful since he could be killed multiple times a turn and the odds are they couldnt regen him more than once if they had cast anything else that turn. And you are correct. We could have built a d20 RPG where you had a deck of magic cards and you just played it out on a grid. But how accesable would that game be? New players would need to not only buy their D&D books but also thousands of dollars worth of magic cards. That seems counter productive. And again, legal questions are for attorneys, I am not an attorney. I went to school for philosophy and psychology. Not law. [/QUOTE]
