From the Pet-Deck thread in "General Discussion".

More thoughts. Forgive me if I come up with an idea that has already been mentioned, this thread is much too long to go over before posting.

Cost: 3 (Plot Twist)

Wrapping Up

Picture: A Criminal or Villian of some kind tied to a building-side-flag-pole with Webbing while police cars are arriving on scene below.

Ongoing:
While you have 5 or less resources, whenever a character is stunned by a character named Spider-Man you control, that character cannot ready this turn.

Personally, I love this idea. Not only does it really fit an element of the comic-books very well, it could be really effective if used correctly.

Cost: 2 (Character)

Spider-Man, Registered Hero.
Avengers / Spiderfriends
2/3 - Range

Picture: Most recently, when Spider-Man fought Captain America, he ended up stealing his shield away. That's kinda the image I had in mind.

Reservist.

Boost 1: When Spider-Man comes into play, search your deck for a card named Armored Spider Suit, and equip it to Spider-Man. Shuffle your deck.

Whenever a defender is stunned by one or more team attackers you control, you may return target equipment to it's owners hand. If you do, draw a card.


His mechanic can work as both Meta-game against equipment reliance or could be used to bounce back one of your own (even the Spider-Suit) equipment for card draw, so it's a meta-game effect that won't become dead-weight.
Gives Spider-Clones a 2-Drop Spiderman.
Fits team-attacking theme of both Spider-Friends and Avengers.
Fits equipment theme of Avengers and brings in a Spider-Friends equipment.
Reservist fits Avengers theme.
Version Registered Hero leaves future mechanic possibilities open.
Also, I'd recommend printing a new version of Armored Spider Suit in whatever set this would be in. It would give two very different options of what he could search out, and make the boost have relevance in sealed play. It would also introduce the suit Tony Stark made for him into the game.

Cost: 4 (Character)

Hybrid, Alien Symbiote.
Spiderfriends / New Warriors
7/6

Evasion.

When Hybrid comes into play, put a +1 ATK / +1 DEF counter on him.

Whenever Hybrid attacks, you may return a character card in your KO'ed pile to your hand.

Remove a counter from a character with the version Alien Symbiote you control >> Search your deck for a character with the version Alien Symbiote or the name Toxin or Carnage, reveal it, put it into your hand, and shuffle your deck.


This is really more of a "just would be fun" design more than one that I think could see tier-1 play. I noticed that not only is "Alien Symbiote" already a version shared by a version of Spider-Man and a version of Venom, but both cards naturally aquire +1 ATK / +1 DEF counters, and since I'm constantly stating that grouping cards together in new ways is a great design philosophy, I couldn't resist making a card that made the Alien Symbiotes (even the two that have been made that don't have an "Alien Symbiote" version) relevant.

Since when Alien Symbiotes lose pieces of themselves those pieces end up turning into new Alien Symbiotes, the real direction of the mechanic was kind of obvious, especially with the +1 ATK / +1 DEF counter Alien Symbiote version theme already in place.

I hope you think this would be a fun card. And with the abillity to turn counters into power-ups, an extra power-up from attacking, and Spider-Man A.S. turning power-ups into counters, I could actually see him being used quite effectively in the right deck.

A link to info about Hybrid is provided here.

Here's a new set of cards, this time borrowing the 'you control' aspect of Doom... Hey, if Doom anchors the Doom affiliation so much, I don't see why Spider-Man isn't anchoring his friends (you can easily build a Spider-Friends deck without Spidey!) as much as Doom is for his affiliation...

What do you guys think?

A new Spider Sense is Tingling!, keeping Captain Marvel in mind...


Spider Sense is Tingling!
Plot Twist, Cost 3

As an additional cost to play Spider Sense is Tingling!, call a judge's attention and say "My spider sense is tingling".

Target Spider-Friends character you control get +5 DEF while defending this turn.

Ongoing: Exhaust a character named Spider-Man you control -> Turn Spider Sense is Tingling! face down.

Which makes this card technically unplayable except at tournaments. :ermm:

Spidermorph

4

As an additional cost to flip Spidermorph, discard a card named Spider-Man.

Ongoing: At the start of recovery, you may ko a stunned character named Spider-Man you control.

Then, target a character you control named Spider-Man. That character cannot ready this turn.

Free--> Characters named Spider-Man are not unique this turn.

Spider Sense is Tingling!
Plot Twist, Cost 3

As an additional cost to play Spider Sense is Tingling!, stand up and say "My spider sense is tingling!".

Target Spider-Friends character you control get +5 DEF while defending

A Test of Resolve

Play only during the combat phase and only if you control a Spider-Friends character.

Negate target effect. You may resolve this card at any place in a chain of effects after all effects have been put on the chain and both players pass to an empty chain.


****Example......Batman attacks your SpiderMan. He adds Flying Kick to go 2 over your defense, you play A test of resolve, he plays Fizzle, you play Spider Senses. No more cards put on the chain. A normal chain would have the Spider Senses resolve first, then fizzle, the test of resolve and then flying kick. This card could be moved in its position in the chain so that you have it resolve before fizzle and fizzle .....well...fizzles itself. Probably a judges worst nightmare..

i like them both lol...they're both pretty fair but give Sandman +1 atk cuz he has 2 have some 5 drop attack strength lol

Test of Resolve, like the idea but man it needs a drawback if you can place it anywhere on the chain. how about "Play only if you have played one other plot twist this turn" or "take one point of enducne lost for each plot twist played on this chain"

that would be crazy in a mutli player game.

Yes, it would be a nuts card in multiplayer....and definitely a judges worst nightmare.

I actually meant to have discard a Spider Friends Character card as part of the cost. Oops

The Bite
Plot-Twist
TH:4

For one turn you may give traget char target Spider-Man text.

Sorry but this card is broken...especially in my Spider Clones deck. Play exhuast my defender to turn it down and play over and over again. Guaranteed brickwall everyturn.

But wouldn't it be fun to keep saying "My spider sense is tingling" each and every time?? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Honestly, I wasn't even thinking of the viability of the card, I just want to hear players say attention-grabbing stuff like "SHAZAM!" :grin:
