The Exploding Man
2 cost plot twist

Stun a character you control. If you do, KO target stunned character with a cost equal or less than the character you stunned.

Tick Tock
3 cost plot twist

Exhaust a character you control. KO target stunned character.
If you exhausted Gabriel in this way, remove that card from the game.


Check out the rest of the set as i update HERE

these effects have yet to be balanced out so expect to see changes between these teasers and the completed 30 card set. Any comments are welcome!

Claire needs more text. Make it work like 4 drop Wolverine AOA version. Next time Claire would become stunned, recover her. I would then add some more text. Gain 3 endurance.

I like Gabriel, though a bit powerful. You either make it trigger once per turn, or make it a payment power that can only be used once per turn. If you don't multiple attacks from this character would be quite broken.

Peter I wouldn't give flight nor range as a default. Model it after the 6 drop Mimic from the older sets. He gains flight if another has flight and he gains range if another character has range. Once again, this type of power can be over the top. I think some balance would be needed. Make it a free payment power or only during the combat phase. I am sure people could abuse cards like him.

And I think Hiro should be consistent with all other types of cards that remove attackers. You should probably make it remove all attackers and defenders.

Tick Tock is good, but I would make it better. It's a boring finishing move. To keep it consistent with Gabriel character card, how about something a bit more flavorful.

To play, exhaust a character you control. KO target stunned character. Put a +1/+1 counter on the character you exhausted this way. If you exhausted Gabriel, remove that stunned character from the game instead and put another +1/+1 counter on that Gabriel.

Claire's power can't ever be fired.

Nice...but Sylar is spelt wrong

oops! posted my old stuff. YARG I feel dumb. alas through the magic of the interwebs i shall giver a fix. I'm still laughing at the Claire card. DOI! *smacks head*

there... a few basic corrections. You can view the set as it stands so far in my photobucket account. keep the suggestions coming!

Good stuff, seems like everyone's making Heroes sets lol. If you have the dvds you could get better pictures using VLC player though.

Well, for Gabriel it should probably be "Gabriel gains all powers and keyword of characters removed this way." So that it doesn't overlap with substitute and shift and such. Plus, why would he gain their names heh.

Peter Petrelli should also only gain the power of all other characters, not all cards. Or he'd gain ongoing PT, location, and equipment powers too.

Hiro's pretty good, but the power seems a bit strange for him. Maybe something more like red shift from MHG but for the defense? Like "Activate -> Remove all attackers and defenders from the game. At the start of the next build phase, return all characters removed this way to play." and maybe use only if Hiro's in combat.

Exploding Man is like Hiro, the card effect is fine, but the effect doesn't quite fit. Exploding Man should really be a higher cost PT that stuns/KOs multiple characters. Maybe something like "To play, stun a Heroes character you control with cost X. Each opponent stuns or KOs any number of characters with combined cost X."

In all my custom sets i always strive for custom art if at all possible. Live action pics seldom seem to fit... maybe it's just me.

To be honest i dont see this "tribute" set playing against shift power decks or the like so the edits for Gabriel seem unnecessary. Also Gabriel gaining names allows for use of effects specifying certain character names as well.

good call with peter, i'll definately change that as i didn't intend for non character effects to be copied.

As for hiro, i actually wanted to avoid making him "feel" like other cards, so he ended up becoming more of a nightcrawler meets reset. but i'm pretty happy with it.

Exploding man isn't the only representation of the actual exploding man... the set has a 7 drop Ted Sprague with a pretty fun effect the plot twist was just additional flavor.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...TedSprague.jpg

Ted Sprague
cost: 7
atk/def: 16/16
flight: no
range: yes

effect: Stun Ted Sprague -> Stun all opposing unprotected characters

Maybe Sylar is a little broken?

I would have gone with either effect. Not both.

2 discards is a steep cost.

as long as cards like x-23 see print i actually dont feel like sylar is completely nuts. Add since that this set is very discard-heavy and I am pleased with his level. realistically he wont see more than 4 cards being tossed for his effect.

How come? He discards a card and the next time Claire stuns she auto-recovers. Seems simple enough.

An earlier version posted had text reading: "Discard a card -> Recover Claire."

heh yeah that was definately some foot in mouth action n my part... but then again thats why i post most of my custom sets here... for some reason i always find it hard to proof my own stuff... wierd huh.
