i also thought that the idea for a carnage effect could be done where you could place a card from your hand underneath him to give him a +1/+1 (not quite a counter, but not a power up either). this could be done twice per turn, maybe. if he got k.o.ed then all cards would go to your discard pile.
the 'drawback ' for him could be something like: your opponent may discard 2 cards from hand to place 1 card beneath him out of play.

Bubblemailer, you are my hero. THat is quite possibly one of the funniest things i have ever read concerning this game.

its evil isnt it?

We would rule the world!!!! ...of VS!!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ::evil guy stance::

That's basically the way I thought it could work, except I think she should be able to affect other characters as well, or at least have the option of doing so.

im just a moron dont worry about it.

This seems possible for a Scarlet Witch character -

Pay 2 endurance -> Target opponent chooses odd or even. Reveal the top card of your deck. If that card's cost matches your opponent's guess, remove that many cards from the top of your deck from the game. If your opponent guesses incorrectly, reveal that many cards from the top of your deck and choose one, put it in your hand and put the rest on the bottom of your deck.

or

Pay 5 endurance -> Target plot twist which targets a single character now targets a different character of your choice. You may ignore combat role targeting restrictions. (You may retarget a defending character with a plot twist that targetrs an attacking character and vice versa.)

How would you be able to use this unless you already had one in play? Can you use a card's text while it's still in your hand? And if you needed one in play, why would you want to replace it with another card that has no ability once in play?

Here's some ideas for Scarlet Witch. Pay 3 endurance, characters with a cost of 3 or less are not unique this turn.

Pay X endurance and target an opponent and target X number of characters your opponent controls where X is the number of endurance paid. Your opponent must move those characters from one position to another.

Scarlet Witch comes in play with a Hex Counter. Activate, remove a hex counter, and pay one endurance, chose one. target player looses one recruit point this turn or you gain one recruit point this turn.

Cosmic: Activate: Search your deck for a plot twist. Reveal that plot twist and put in your hand. Shuffle your deck. You may not play that plot twist till the next turn. ( I figured she could be used to search for Pt's because it would be similar to her casting spells. The reason behind the delay is because it would take a turn to "cast" the spell.)

And for some non Scarlet Witch card

Clownprince23,

I like your Chuck Austen/B.M.Bendis plot twist ideas--seriously, I laughed out loud.

And your idea for Wanda is--although painfully verbose--pretty amazing.

BUT!!!

Did you simply not read the character text for scarlet witch proposed by tchalla??

It clearly states the following:

reveal scarlet witch from your hand-> flip a coin, if you win the flip cards named scarlet witch cost 1 less to play this turn. if you lose the flip, discard scarlet witch from your hand. use this ability only while scarlet witch is in your hand

Read that and re-think your response.

In regards to using a card's text if said card is not in play:

Yes, you can do so if the card reads as such. For instance, Infinity Man<>Drax

The card states:

Reveal Infinity Man, return two ready characters you control with the version Forever People to owner's hands-->Character cards named Infinity Man cost you 1 less to recruit this turn. Use this power only while Infinity Man is in your hand.

Okay, so maybe tchalla strayed off the path of originality, but his idea was in fact playable.

but if she's in your hand, how can you use her ability. That would be like revealing Tempest and then using his ability from your hand.

It's apples and oranges CP23...

The card clearly states, "only while she is in your hand"--it's not an activated or payment power.

If you can read on a 3rd grade level then you can understand the text. It's black and white, really.

There are (at lease) 3 cards that have "from hand" powers:

Inifinity Man
Scarlet Spider
Harley Quinn

Those date back to DC Origins, and the first two are common cards.

There are abilities that can be used from the hand, without one on the field, and have been for a while, so the proposed power would work.

Bubblemailer: Team Broken was great. You've got to make up some proxies of that and play it against someone, just once.

I stand corrected then. I hadn't really paid attention to the three previous cards with similar abilities so I didn't know.

cmacbgoode: ha ha I did, i won every time on turn 1. thats why its called team broken. but I got one more for everyone.

Broken Cousin Derek
Derek Unker Marty Beauford aka DUMB

Pay 1 life -> Put Broken Cousin Derek into your hand, use this effect if Broken Cousin Derek is in your hand. Don't Shuffle your deck.

Gain 1 Life -> Discard Broken Cousin Derek from your hand,

Look at you Opponent -> Remove Broken Cousin Derek from game. Use this only if Broken Cousin Derek is in the KO Pile.

Snap Your finger -> Put this card into your deck and shuffle it. Use this effect only if its in your removed pile.

Whistle -> Spin Broken Cousin Derek on the table. If it spins more than 2 whole times you may use this effect again.

Touch your forhead -> Toss Broken Cousin Derek in the air if it lands on anything, you may use this effect again.

Grow a Bear -> Use this only if you are a male. You may wait as long as it takes to pay the cost of this effect.

Grow your fingernail -> Use this only if you are a female. You may wait as long as it takes to pay the cost of this effect.
