CARDS *A* SW:CCG Attack of the Clones Expansion Project (formerly Quest's)

BTW- there will no doubt be comments or card suggestions made here with AOTC spoilers, so you've been warned.

With Decipher no longer able to make the SW:CCG, I figure it's up to the fans to continue the legacy in terms of cards based on the new movies. Sure, they won't be official and won't be tournament legal, but they'd be fun to play with during friendly games I think.

So, I'm planning on making a couple "expansions" of dream cards based on AOTC that I'll photoshop together sometime after the movie comes out. I'm planning on making them small sized expansions, ranging from 50 to 80 cards, depending on how long my patience lasts;;D

So, in this thread I'm hoping to get suggestions for cards, as well as refining gametext concepts to make them balanced later down the road before I start making the images.

I'm planning 3 expansions-

-"Heart of the Republic" (covering the Coruscant and Naboo elements of the movie)
-"Kamino" (covering the Kamino and Tatooine elements of the movie)
-"Geonosis" (covering everything from the film's climax...will probably be the largest of the 3 sets)

I'm open to suggestions for the expansion names also- I wanted to stick with the planet-named pattern Decipher utilzied for the most part, but since Coruscant has already been used, and the Attack of the Clones doesn't have much to do with that portion of the film, I'm trying to come up up with an appropriate title. Likewise, Kamino could be called Tipoca City or even Fire & Water:

As far as card concepts go, as a start, I'm working on concepts for 3 or 4 different versions of Jango (one for each expansion plus a permanent weapon version) along the ideas of:
-"Father of Fett" (a play on "Son of Skywalker"'s card title, this version would give bonuses to Boba Fetts of ability <3 and would also give piloting bonuses to Slave 1...the card title sounds a tad awkward though, so I may just go with plain old "Jango Fett")
-"Jango Fett, Bounty Hunter" (this version would, obviously, work better with Bounty Hunting game mechanics)
-"Jango Fett, Mandalorian Super-Commando" (this would be the tricks & gadgets version, I'm thinking along the lines of being able to have weapons and devices deployed on him for reserve deck such as "Lanyard", "Flame Thrower", "Dart Launcher", etc)

& lastly...

-"Jango Fett with Dual Blaster Pistols" ("enhanced" Jango, if you will, no immunity to attrition, but can fire twice per battle since he has two guns...perhaps even allow them to fired additional times for additional force use..but that might be a bit too powerful...maybe I'll save the rapid fire action for a seperate weapons card instead).

I'm thinking Dooku's main ability will be dodging (reduce weapon destinies targeting him bya certain amount) in combat to portray his fencing-style of fighting.

Another card I want to have in there is "Completely Armless", hehe:

Other game mechanic-based cards I'm thinking about would be Jedi fighting style effects or something ("Type 1", "Type 2", etc) that would give them different abilities in duels and/or lightsaber combat, or perhaps even normal battles.

Cloning is also something I want to add in (make it Kamino-based I assume, like carbon freezing is bespin-based and such), although I'd think it best to restrict it to only allowing cloning of alien and republic characters of ability <5. The neat part, I think, is this would probably be a lightside objective/epic events/whatever...for now at least. (I could be off..I'm not 100% spoiled, so theres a few details I'm holding off until the movie comes out).

Well, thats what the aim of this topic is, feel free to contribute any suggestions (particulalrly on set names), comments or dream card ideas.

 

I might be able to do something about that.

 

Here's a starter to warm up...

Side: Dark
Set: Geonosis
*Completely Armless
Destiny: 2
Effect
Gametext: Deploy on table for 2 force. Adds 1 to force loss from Mostly Armless (and that card may now play after winning a battle, duel or lightsaber combat). Bionic Hand may not be played and is immediately lost if drawn for destiny or as a combat card. (Immune to Alter.)


Beyond enhancing the usefullness of Mostly Armless (from Cloud City), it also helps prevent abuse of virtual Boshek's ability to yank the destiny-7 Bionic Hand in lightsaber combat decks, not to mention preventing use of said card to counteract Mostly Armless.

To balance this out though, so as to not make this card "invincible", a "Bionic Arm" card could be made to cancel this effect (and isn't killed off by the effect since the card title would be different).

 

That Dual Duel one is great.

I also assume that Anakin would be considered a seperate persona than Vader?

You might want to include an exclusion on Maul's double-sded lightsaber since I think logically you couldn't fight with both that and another saber (although single sided would be doable).

 

how about "...may follow (for free) as a 'react'." ?

Could then have a card ("Sniper Shot" perhaps?)that targets a react like this and, after a destiny draw or something that can make the reacting character either relocated, lost, disarmed, or something else by sacrificing the droid.


Also, there are two quotes that I'm debating on whether or not to use as individual effects/interupts/epic events or combined as an objective ...

"I Foresee You Becomming The Greatest of All Jedi."

"Someday I'll Be The Most Powerful Jedi Ever."

Also theres the matter of making their gametext live up to the intent of the quote without making them overpowered.

Also, here's another that might be useful against suicidal Lukes w/saber in saber combat vs saber combat games.

*I'm a Jedi
Dark
Immediate Effect
Destiny: 6
Lore: "A Jedi ? Whadayah know!"
Gametext: If opponent just deployed a character of ability >3, deploy on that character. Character is now a Jedi Knight (ability=6), power + 1 and immune to attrition <4.

 

Two more...

***Jedi Youngling
Character
Destiny: 4
Lore: "Often instructed in groups by Jedi Masters such as Yoda in the ways of the Force and the use of the lightsaber."
Power: 1
Ability: 3
Deploy: 2
Forfeit: 2
Gametext: "Deploys free to same site as a Jedi Master. Once per turn may deploy a Jedi Lightsaber on a Youngling from reserve deck; reshuffle. Jedi Lightsabers deploy and target for free at same site."


*Master Yoda, Jedi Instructor
Character- Jedi Master
Destiny: 5
Lore: Jedi Council member. "My own council will I keep on who is to be trained."
Power: 3
Ability: 7
Deploy: 4
Forfeit: 7
Gametext: "May not deploy to Dagobah. Adds 3 to training destiny draws. Non-unique Younglings at same site may not be targeted by weapons and are immune to attrition<6. Immune to attrition."


What I like about this is if you have Yoda and 3 Younglings at same site, and opponent draws a 6+ battle destiny, assuming you want to save Yoda, you have to forfeit all 3 Younglings to satsify attrition.

Jedi Youngling will become a characteristic, so there will be named unique Younglings eventually.

 

Does that mean Tyrannous can only deploy if Dooku is already out?


I like the Zam Wessell one- I was thinking along those lines, only by having different versions of her that you could switch from your reserve deck for the one on the table.

 

*Jango Fett
Character-Dark
Force Atunned
Destiny: 3
Lore: Father of Boba. Bounty Hunter. Serves as the genetic template for the clone army created on Kamino.
Warrior, Pilot
Power: 2
Ability: 3
Deploy: 4
Forfeit: 4
Gametext: "Boba deploys -2 to same site. When in battle with a Boba Fett of ability < 3, adds two destiny. Adds 3 to the maneuver and power of Slave 1 when piloting. Immune to attrition <2."

*Jango Fett, Bounty Hunter
Character-Dark
Force Atunned
Destiny: 1
Lore: Top Bounty Hunter in the galaxy. Has had dealings with Zam Wesell in the past. Lives on Kamino with his cloned son Boba.
Warrior, Pilot
Power: 4
Ability: 3
Armor: 5
Deploy: 5
Forfeit: 6
Gametext: "Once per turn may take one card with "Bounty" in title into hand from reserve deck;reshuffle. Adds one battle destiny if with Zam. When escorting a captive, captive is forfeit +3. May 'fly' (landspeed = 3). Immune to attrition < 4."


*Jango Fett, Mandalorian Super-Commando
Character-Dark
Force Atunned
Destiny: 1
Lore: Last of the Mandalorian warriors who served under Jaster Mereel on Concord Dawn. Bounty Hunter. Alligned with Count Dooku.
Warrior, Pilot
Power: 5
Ability: 3
Armor: 5
Deploy: 6
Forfeit: 7
Gametext: "Once during your deploy phase, may deploy one weapon or device on Jango from reserve deck;reshuffle. May fire and use unlimited weapons and devices. Opponent's cards targeting Jango's ability now target his armor. Immune to attrition <4"

*Jango Fett with Dual Blaster Pistols
Character-Dark
Force Atunned
Destiny: 1
Lore: Bounty hunter. "I'm just a regular man trying to make his way in the galaxy."
Warrior, Pilot, Permanent Weapon
Power: 4
Ability: 3
Armor: 5
Deploy: 5
Forfeit: 5
Gametext: "Adds 2 to power of anything he pilots. Reduces total attrition against you by 3 at same site. Permanent weapon is *Jango Fett's Dual Blaster Pistols (twice per battle may target a character or creature for free; draw destiny; target hit, and its forfeit = 0, if destiny +1 > defense value)."

 

here's my suggestion on Bib's Zam gametext

"Adds 2 to power of anything she pilots. During any deploy phase, may lose 1 Force to reveal a non-droid character (except Jedi & cards with /) from hand; Zam has that character's power, ability and game text for remainder of turn. "


Last thing we need is two DVDLOTS' choking away an opponents entire force:

 

also, what do these mean?

(A)(LF)

(CIS)
