Set 2 Approaches, New Testing System

[Bell]

I have updated the Set 2 Card Submission Post and added some information as follows.

Whenever a card has [Name Tag] it means that the name is subject to change OR that the original name was for something else that a player designed and the name was 'stolen' while the effect was not used. The player who designed the card is free to either confirm that the name can stay on the new card, or take the name back to try again. These cards will be usable in all formats. No image templates will be made for these cards until the community decides on a name or I find one.

Whenever a card has [Underpower Tag] it is being watched closely because its designer was too careful or didn't understand something about game mechanics and the card may need more power. These cards will be usable in all formats but are subject to change and MAY end up in one of the Balance Tag sections mentioned below, in which case you may lose access to the card for regular KC play. Image templates for these cards will not originally contain their rules text.

Whenever a card has [Balance Tag 1] it means that the effect, though liked, is possibly a bit too strong and may need toning down, or I just haven't had time to run it through the required analysis yet. These cards are not going to be available in regular KC play and will only be usable in KC+ matches. Suggested not usable in Tournaments, and when the ladder returns, if there are any cards like this, they will not be usable (ladder will generally only be regular KC anyway). Only suggestions to alterations of these cards' effects will be taken, though, the cards overall will not be replaced. Image templates for these cards will not originally contain their rules text.

Whenever a card has [Balance Tag 2] it means that not only is the effect possibly too strong, I actually already think it is but can't be sure without full testing (this is usually because of cost reduction matters, since cards with truly straight overpowered effects just get rejected). These cards are not going to be available in regular KC play and will only be usable in KC+ matches. Suggested not usable in Tournaments, and when the ladder returns, if there are any cards like this, they will not be usable (ladder will generally only be regular KC anyway). These cards may be replaced entirely, or moved to set 3 with different costs and so on. If enough data is collected, they may be downgraded to [Balance Tag 1]. No image templates will be made for these cards.

We are happy to accept the community's card designs and effort, and even moreso now with this system, since it allows us to test new ideas without disturbing what we already mostly know to be balanced.

We hope to have your continued support in building an Online Card Game you will enjoy.
