This is the newest version of CYOGTCG. A long time ago someone called Varkarrus created a variant of 1,000 blank white cards and it was extremely fun. I'm bringing it back once again, which I have probably done at least four times now. The quirk this time? When you start playing you design an entire deck for yourself! I'll balance the actual card stats myself. (Fair warning, things will never be 100% balanced)
Game Rules
1) You start off each game with 20 hearts, and 5 cards in your hand. For any given game, you and your opponent may decide to start with a different amount of any of those three things.
2) If you have 0 or less hearts, you lose.
3) At the start of each turn, you draw one card.
4) Unless stated otherwise, you can only play one card per turn.
5) Cards also have hearts. If they have 0 hearts, they go away, unless stated otherwise. If a card says it has attack power, it can only damage the player directly if they have no cards defending them.
6) If a card has zero hearts when you play it, it will be destroyed after it does its effect.
7) There is a kind of resource called Stars, and you start the game with 0 of them. Strong Cards cost Stars to play, and they can be gained with the effects of weak cards. This prevents your best cards from being played immediately. Cards may also have effects that cost stars to use. (Stars carry over between turns)
8) The player who goes second starts the game with one star.
9) You can also make up your own resources for your cards if you really want.
10) Cards cannot attack on the turn they are played unless otherwise stated, and can only attack once per turn unless otherwise stated. When a card attacks another card, both cards lose hearts equal to the other card's attack
11) By default, if a card is face down it cannot be attacked. Cards may be attackable when face down, in which case this must be declared when playing the card.
12) Face Down cards cannot protect you from being attacked until it is flipped up. If a facedown card does something it will be flipped.
13) The game will typically use the honor system, so players can randomize their own deck and draw cards without GM intervention. If you suspect someone is cheating, inform the GM. Its just sad if you feel the need to cheat in this game. For grudge matches, you can request the GM do all the random stuff.
14) Strive to avoid situations which will require a retcon. Those are a big pain to clean up.
15) In the event of a disagreement, the GM will decide what happens.
16) Don't be afraid to get creative with your deckbuilding!
17) If a card says it does something "At the end of each turn", this only means your own turns unless it specifically states otherwise.
Relative card strength
A card that costs no stars to play would typically have a combined stat total of 5. (Example, 2 attack and 3 hearts). Useful effects will generally lower this, and detrimental effects can raise it. You can also make cards with no hearts which act like "Spells". Each star a card costs will typically raise its base stat total by 3 or 4. Very high star costs can have ridiculous effects.
Tips
Cards can do all kinds of things if you want them to! Want to attack on the turn a card is played? You can give it an effect to let it do that. Don't like only playing one card per turn? Make some cards that don't count towards the limit, and some other cards that let you draw more cards!
You'll want to consider your "Star economy". You can have just a few cards with a very high star cost, or maybe an equal amount of star generators and star consumers. Or maybe just skip the stars altogether and have a lot of basic cards.
You can give cards effects that trigger when they are destroyed, when they attack, when they are attacked, when played alongside another card, cards with an effect depending on how long the game has been going on for, or any number of things really. Surprise me!
Deck Creation
Decks will start out with 40 cards. This may be negotiable in the future. You can have multiple copies of the same card in your deck and I recommend having at least a few multiples to make this a bit easier on the GM. For each card you want to make, provide the following information. PM your card information to the GM, do not post it in the thread!
1) Card Name
2) Star Cost if applicable
3) Card effects and/or flavor text
4) Hearts and Attack.
5) Card background color (All cards will have a very light background)
6) A picture for the card. All pictures should be 100 x 180 pixels in size. (100 vertical and 180 horizontal)
It is recommended to use terms such as "Low" or "High" when discussing what you want a card's stats to be. The GM reserves the right to refuse any card for any reason.
Facedown Cards
In the event that a card says it can be placed face down, use this image to represent the face down card. Somewhere along the lines it was decided that this is to be the back of all CYOGTCG cards forever. Its a tradition I don't intend to break.

Player Mechanics
These game mechanics are used by some cards and cannot easily be explained with card text alone. You only need to pay attention to these if a card actually uses them.
Adjacency: Your cards may be treated as being physically to the left or right of other cards when played, which may make a difference based on certain card effects.
Token: This is a card that is "Created" by another card which is not an actual card you can draw from your deck directly. Tokens should have their own card made for them, (There is at least one grandfathered exception)
(https://i.imgur.com/UXp7VwN.png)(https://i.imgur.com/WEv7R8U.png)(https://i.imgur.com/TaArtoL.png)(https://i.imgur.com/EN5MR3j.png)(https://i.imgur.com/i4ACFWz.png)
So we draw on our first turns as well, meaning I start with 6 cards in my hand.
Cards in hand:6
Total Hearts: One black and shrivelled thing 20 hearts
Stars: 0
Ok, To kick this off I'll summon the card Merling Scum
(https://i.imgur.com/2QeMPkh.png)
Cards in hand: 6
Total Hearts: 20
Stars: 1
First, I play two PE Boxes, granting me an extra two stars!
(https://i.imgur.com/yNJcrVH.png)
Then, I sacrifice one of my Hearts to play Crimson Dawn! Thus summoning three Cheers for the Start tokens!
(https://i.imgur.com/4bosXUM.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
Starting off I'll draw my card bringing me back up to 6
Hand: 6
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0
I guess I'll have to wait a bit more to really get this started, for now I'll summon my Merling Coral Collector onto the field, and I will Attack one of your cheers with my Merling scum Destroying it.
5 stars at the start of your next turn, quite the ramp indeed.
(https://i.imgur.com/iDT3EHz.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/mC4RbEP.png)
With that I will end my turn.
As I have ended my Turn, My coral collector activates and Gives me +1 star.
Indeed it is. First up, my Ceers slef destruct, giving me 2 more Stars, and I draw a card, bringing me up to 4.
Hand: 4
Hearts: 19
Stars: 5
Then, I play Rabbit Trooper for 1 star, and end my turn.
(https://i.imgur.com/omV07la.png)
I draw a card, bringing me back to 6 once again
Hand: 6
Hearts: 20
Stars: 1
Hmm, I can definitely see some paths of improvement in the future once I go to retool this deck.
Either way, I will ram my Merling scum into rabbit trooper dealing to Damage to it, putting it at 5/1.
As merling scum is destroyed, A Merling Scum is summoned without an effect and I draw a card, bringing my hand up to 7 cards.
Then, I summon My Merling Ritual Fodder from my hand, and end my turn.
As my Turn ends, My coral collector activates and I gain 1 star.
(https://i.imgur.com/GQ7r21G.png)
No effect.
(https://i.imgur.com/m3cA4Sj.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/iReTyXF.png)
Stars=4
Hearts=19
Hand=4
Then, I play Indigo Noon for one Star and a Heart, giving me a pair of Sweeper tokens!
(https://i.imgur.com/ks9eSEn.png)
With that, I attack your Merling Coral Collector with Rabbit Trooper, destroying both and ending my turn.
(https://i.imgur.com/BrbDsTR.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/BrbDsTR.png)
when coral collector is destroyed, I gain 1 star bringing me to a total of 3
Then I draw a card to kick my turn off bringing me up to 7 cards in my hand
Hand: 7
Hearts: 20
Stars: 3
I will pay 2 stars in order to summon, Naga Blood witch from my hand!
Then I will ram my Scum and Ritual fodder into one of your sweepers, Bringing all three of them to an untimely death (3-2=1+1=2-2=0).
When My ritual fodder is destroyed, I gain 1 star putting me back to 2 and I return it to my hand.
With that, I will end my turn.
(https://i.imgur.com/gwsswwA.png)
Hand: 4
Hearts: 18
Stars: 4
Then, I play Agent from my hand, and end my turn.
(https://i.imgur.com/pQR8YLZ.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/BrbDsTR.png)
Anyway, To start my turn I will draw one card putting my hand at 8 (+1 from ritual fodder last turn and draw now)
Hand: 8
Hearts:20
Stars:2
Well then, I will pay 1 star and play my Merling Hermit from my hand.
After I summon my hermit, I will activate my Blood witches effect, allowing me to deal 1 damage to my merling and in turn deal 1 to destroy your agent.
After that, I will have my blood witch attacks your Sweeper, removing it from the field and dealing 2 points of damage to my Naga.
With that I will end my turn.
As I end my turn, hermits effect activates, giving all monster on my board 1 heart, putting my hermit back at 1/6 and my naga back at 4/5
(https://i.imgur.com/f8Tq9Y4.png)
Currently sitting at 4/5
(https://i.imgur.com/GJIuwpK.png)
Hand: 4
Hearts: 18
Stars: 2
I play a card face down for two Stars, and end my turn. Since you cannot read the effect as it is face down I will say; this card can be attacked while face down.
(http://i.imgur.com/w0HcZ8z.png)
(Can be attacked while face down)
Hand: 8
Hearts: 20
Stars:1
Well then, This could go terribly right or terribly wrong. I will start this off by summoning my Merling Slave to the field.
(https://i.imgur.com/U7pBRoE.png)
With my slave destroyed, I am able to summon a 0 cost merling straight from my hand. Welcome back Ritual Fodder
To bring your health down even farther, My hermit and blood witch will attack you directly as well, dealing 5 damage to you and bringing you down to 10 Hearts total!
As I end my turn, Hermits effect activates, setting blood witch a 4/6, my hermit at 1/7 and my fodder at 2/2
(https://i.imgur.com/uNmUjsb.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/7BsN6Kg.png)
Currently sitting at 1/7

Depending on what that card does, I'm either in for a win or a rather bad time.
Yes. Provided that it doesn't specifically say you can't of course.
... I think I see what is about to happen!
I'm also going to point out that the Merling effect "All monsters gain 1 heart" would also apply to your card.
Because the effect says "All monsters".
oOOOooo
Well. The bait didn't work as I intended, but this was better than what I meant to do! So whatever! I draw
Hand: 4
Hearts: 10
Stars: 2
First, I play another PE Box
(https://i.imgur.com/yNJcrVH.png)
Then, I flip over Der Freishutz, activating its on-flip effect, allowing me to deal 5 damage to your Naga Bloodwitch.
(https://i.imgur.com/BhUHCHD.png)
Finally, I play Crimson Dawn, bringing me down to only 9 hearts, but summoning 3 Cheers for the Start tokens.
(https://i.imgur.com/4bosXUM.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/BhUHCHD.png)
(Has an extra Heart, because Merling Hermit)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/b14i8At.png)
Anyway, This is quite the situation.
When my ritual fodder was destroyed, I gain a Star putting me back at 2 and it returns to my hand, putting me back at 7 cards before I make my draw for the turn.
Hand:8
Hearts: 20
Stars: 2
Hmmm, I will definitely need to tweak this deck around, I feel like it has two schools of thought and not enough of either to really commit to one. Not enough swarm to take advantage of all the 0 cost's and not enough Star generation to take advantage of the high end I've made, leading to quite a few dead cards in hand if I can't draw the right pieces.
Anyway, I thankfully have a way out of the situation I've put myself in, By paying all my stars (2) and summoning a second Blood witch from my hand to replace the one that has fallen. I will use her effect, dealing 5 damage to my hermit in order to destroy your Der Freishutz and leaving my Hermit with 2 hearts remaining.
After that My hermit will pop one of your Cheer tokens by attacking it.
By ending my turn, My hermit's effect activates and as such your tokens become 0/2, my blood witch becomes 4/7 and my hermit will be healing back to 1/3.

Well uh, I play Amber Dawn, costing me another heart, but summoning three Complete Food tokens. Then that's all I can do, so I end my turn.

To simulate a real deck, I have put slips of paper into a cup. I was going to use card sleeves. But I ran out halfway through the deck. It's only 40 cards, where did the other 32 sleeves I own go?

Okay then!
♪♫♫♪ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jmty_NiaXc)
I draw a starting hand of five cards, then I begin my turn and draw one more, up to six.
I then play Perimeter Defense to my field and end my turn.
Hand: 5
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0
(https://i.imgur.com/82cfUOh.png)
I then play Weary Toilers to my field. This allows me to draw another card (back to 6). Then I end my turn and gain a second star from the Toilers.
Hand:6
Hearts: 20:
Stars: 2

My Toilers are going to decline to attack this round, so that's the end of my turn. The Toilers give me +1 star, bringing my total up to 3.

Stars: 3
(https://i.imgur.com/btszknG.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ZS0dGX7.png)

(https://i.imgur.com/cZSOWu4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/wiUcuHl.png)

Hearts: 20
Stars: 5
(https://i.imgur.com/btszknG.png)(https://i.imgur.com/btszknG.png)(https://i.imgur.com/ZS0dGX7.png)
I then convert them both into stars using Plutorinum Reactor, then play Mega-Tank for 4 stars, putting me back down to 0 stars.
I then end my turn.
Hand: 5
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0
(https://i.imgur.com/82cfUOh.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/Vbvxp1T.png)
(https://i.imgur.com/cZSOWu4.png)(https://i.imgur.com/wiUcuHl.png)
First I attack the Perimeter Fence with my rightmost Weary Toilers (who has the Black Flag +3a bonus). Both the fence and the toilers die. The black flag remains in play, now giving its bonus to the next toilers.
I then play an Active Toilers which allows me to play another card.
Next (you're going to hate this), I play Join The Cause on the Mega Tank for 4 stars. (I had to get rid of the fence first to do this.)
(https://i.imgur.com/IfNXfAt.png)
And then I attack with my second Weary Toilers (1a+3a=4), destroying the Crystal Mine.
Next it depends on the interpretation of the wording of the cards. If I can attack with the tank straight away (it's now in my control and it hasn't been played on my turn), then I will do so, taking out the Plutonirium Reactor, wrapping over 8 damage. However, if we want to interpret the restriction on attacking with played cards that they can't normally attack on the same round as they were played (as is the case in MtG, say), then it won't attack (though the OP does say 'turn'). In the spirit of fairness, I'll let you decide the interpretation for this game, Kashyyk.
Finally my remaining Weary Toilers gives me another +1 star, bringing me up to 2.

I draw a card, then play Crystal Cluster, which gives me two Energy Crystal tokens.
(https://i.imgur.com/40xzdcv.png)
I then play Deployment Initiative, which allows me to put two Battle Droid tokens into play.
(https://i.imgur.com/U9cLqup.png)
I then sacrifice both Energy Crystal tokens to trigger their abilities, giving each Battle Droid an extra heart.
Hand: 4
Hearts: 12
Stars: 0

At the beginning of my turn, I draw a card, bringing me up to 7. My Active Toilers triggers, bringing me up to 3s.
I then spend 3s to play Max Stirner. He doubles my equipment bonuses but that won't be relevant this turn.
Given your extra hearts, I can't kill you off this round, so I don't attack with the toilers. Instead I just attack one of the battle droids with the tank. Tank takes 1 damage, 8 damage wraps around onto you.
Finally my remaining Weary Toilers gives me another +1 star, bringing me up to 1.
Hand: 6
Hearts: 20
Stars: 1

(Typo edit: adding correct damage to the tank.)
I draw a card. I then play Railgun from Orbit, dealing 4 damage to Black Flag, destroying it out of spite. I think this might possibly be game.

For fun, at no cost, I'll play Black Flag next to the tank (giving it +6a). Then Mega Tank will attack Battle Droid, destroying it and dealing 14 damage to you, putting you on -10 hearts. That should be sufficient overkill!
The revolution was successful!

That was fun! I liked your engine building, and it'd be neat to see more of what you could do. I had loads more unique character cards I didn't get to explore. My Join The Cause card is probably a bit OP, though I suppose you would have been able to counter them with a few more fences or if you took out my toilers before they gave too many stars.
Happy to play again or take any other challengers.

So looking at the last game I notice a quirk. In MTG(which is my area of expertice) there is usually one attack phase per turn. In this game so far there can be multiple split attacks, as in the case where notquitethere's toiler attacked with the black flag and then after that attack the other toiler then took advantage of the same buff.
I know hearthstone works this way, and I'm not sure about yugioh. But is this intended behavior?
Also, phone battery is dying, so that's it for me tonight.

I will first attack the Scavenger bot with the Tremendous Titan, dealing 10 damage and destroying it. I will then follow up by attacking first with the Expendable Soldier, and then with the Happy Biker, dealing 4 damage to you.

The Cypher finally puts down that Expendable Soldier from turn 1 taking 1 damage and annoyingly letting you keep applying pressure, it then gets re-cloaked for a star again.
I end my turn putting me back at 2 stars.

I response to the death of the Expendable Soldier, I get to draw a card. The card I drew cost 1 star, so I may immediately play it while it's your turn. It's a Firebreathing Locomotive.
HP:20
Hand: 7 Cards
Stars: 0
I draw my card for the turn, then of the 8 cards in my hand... I can play 2.
I will play the Crippled Genius.
Now depending on interpretation, I can either attack with the Firebreathing Locomotive right now, or not. But, I don't think it's necessary or wise to right now. Instead I will just attack the Scavenger Bot with the Tremendous Titan, destroying the Scavenger Bot.
I then end my turn, getting a Star and a Card.

Then my Cypher decloaks and I play a Mech Shield onto the Phalanx

Unlike every time before, the transport stays uncloaked.

I will attack the Skimmer with the locomotive, dealing 1 damage to each.
I will attack the Shield Module with the Tremendous Titan for 12 damage, bypassing the mech it's attached to and destroying it.

I draw my card, and it's exactly what I wanted. Well, it's not EXACTLY what I wanted, I think I used up every one of the card I REALLY wanted in my deck. Still, I play Sniper Shot to damage the Jackal Scout. 3 damage destroys it, so I get a star.

Well in that case let's start a game a 1v1+ and we can open up another thread if necessary. I'm happy to go first...
Game begins with 5 cards, I draw 1 card up to 6.
I play Active Toilers which allows me to play another card, so I play another Active Toilers. I could play another card but there's nothing decent to play so I leave it at that.

Since I go second, I start with one star.
Hearts: 20

Stars: 1
I draw my first card, up to 6.
I'll spend my star, and play Happy Biker.
He can attack on his first turn, so he'll target one of the Active Toilers to deal 3 damage, and 1 to himself.

I draw a card, up to 5. I gain 1 star from my remaining toiler. I immediately spend that star playing Join The Cause on the Happy Biker, stealing it for my team. I then attack you directly with the Happy Biker and the Active Toilers for [3+1=4] 4 damage.

That's less than ideal, as it effectively just wastes the card, replacing it with another.
So, I guess I'll play Baby Swarm

So I have a star, and everything in my hand... requires a star now. I guess I'll play a Desert Comber, and add a card to my hand.

The eight damage randomly assigned among your field destroys everything.
Now with the enemy field clear, I'll attack with the converted Happy Biker and the Black Flagged Active Toilers [3+1+3=7] for 7 damage.

Thanks for the match, Flabort. I'm happy to go against anyone again, either newcomers or rematches.
Sure thing!
To begin my first turn I draw a card, and then play Deployment Initiative, which lets me put two Battle Droid tokens on the board.
Can't attack yet, so I end my turn.

Then my mech fires its missile pod at the perimeter defense, and then the chaingun, destroying it and taking 4 retaliation damage to the shield.
And then the chaingun fires again... Five more times, wiping your board clean and hitting you for 2, the shield takes 2 more damage.
Finally, the Hound itself kicks you in the face for another 1 damage, for insult.

I roll a 5 and a 6, giving me an extra star and allowing me to play another card this turn. So I still have two cards to play.
First I play another Squirrel, playing an acorn face down. I was saving it for when I had more rabbits to play alongside it, but as I have the free play, I'll then play a Rabbit. Then I'll flip over an Acorn and spend my two stars swapping it for Oak Tree!
(https://i.imgur.com/qcxLZ5B.png)
Then I'll attack the Happy Painter with the Crow and the Magpie (2 damage each), destroying it. Then I'll attack the injured Scavenger Bot with my slightly beefed up Squirrel, dealing 2 damage.
Finally, the Oak Tree drops a face-up acorn. Note that it will do that at the end of each of your turns, and the Magpie tax is still in effect.

I attack the Oak Tree with the Absorber Titan, dealing 6 damage.
At the end of my turn I gain a star and draw a card.

Right... so I draw a card up to 5. There's nothing I want to play (or can afford) so I get to attacking!
First I kill Crippled Genius with a Squirrel. Then I kill the injured Scavenger Bot with my Rabbit. Then my Crow and Magpie together deal 6 damage to the other Scavenger Bot, destroying the thing. Finally, my other Squirrel attacks SHAD0Wdump directly for... 2 damage!
Oh! And another acorn falls off the tree...

First I weep for the felled oak, then draw a card up to 5. Then I sacrifice all 6 acorns to buff my squirrels +6h. Then I destroy Crippled Genius with the unbuffed Squirrel, then I attack the Absorber Titan with the buffed Squirrel. My understanding of the wording is only when the titan is the active attacker does his ability trigger, so defending shouldn't trigger the ability. (So this should leave Titan on 10h, and Squirrel on 1h).
Finally, I play Decay:

The Gorgon finishes the Absorber Titan, mutual destruction.
Then the Phalanx fires it's missile pod and its own gun at the castle, destroying it and taking two damage to the shield.
Then it's time for the chaingun, it mows down both squirrels, the rabbit, and the bear cub, and puts its final shot into Flabort directly for 2 damage, no retaliation damage.
Finally, I play a Scavenger Bot. I gain a star at turn end.

Currently at work so my turn has to wait, but we have a situation we need a ruling on here.
On my turn I am going to be shooting the Expendable Soldier and would normally lay on the damage onto Flabort, but whether I can or not depends on the soldier's ability. By my understanding it should cause him to immediately draw and possibly play a card that I need to know about to make those follow up attacks.
In the interest of progressing the game, I declare a chaingun attack on expendable soldier as part of my impending turn.
I appreciate the forewarning. I could have also let you know what gets changed in your turn, or you could have posted the first half of your turn and waited - in any case, the soldier is being destroyed.
For the record, my card draw from losing the Soldier is, in fact, 1 star, so a Desert Comber gets played, and I will use his ability to search for a happy painter.

OK, probably doomed still, but let's see if I can put up a fight. First I spend a star to upgrade my baby bear to a Brown Bear. Then I draw a card.
Then I play it's Verdant Growth:
(https://i.imgur.com/n3OR3vw.png)
So I draw two cards and play another. The first is a Biodiversity.

(https://i.imgur.com/2DV1mfx.png)
First: Badger will flip over your Phalanx Assault Mech. As the Brown Bear is a replacement, it can still attack this turn. Which I will, attacking Phalanx for 6. Then Badger will attack for 4, bravely sacrificing itself. Then Weasel, who can attack straight away will attack Phalanx, and also die. It was brutal, but this has the nice benefit of also destroying all the attached modules.
And then I play a Decay! This removes 14 cards from my discard (including all those worms) and spams my board full of Worms again!

As a side note, not sure how I feel about worms begetting worms.
It is a bit cheeky yeah. I could amend it to have them be exiled from play after dying in future games. If it makes you feel better, this is one of only two ways this deck gets stars, and it has no every-turn star generators. Rather than an infinite drip-feed, there's just a big load of them all at once.

I think that decay may need to be nerfed. This is a positively inappropriate amount of stars being generated here.
In a single chunk, probably? Though that's really only because Shadwodump is choosing to kill all the worms in one go. He could have chosen to build up his forces until he could wipe me out in one swoop. It's even possible that for whole game-wide star generation, SHAD0Wdump may have generated more. It's also partially balanced out by the fact that the deck has no real mega game ending cards. The most expensive effect is Fox which is just a 2 star 4/4 with First Strike; and Acorn -> Oak Tree, which requires me to first play a Squirrel. Still, I think having the worms be exiled would prevent me cycling the same worm hoard out twice. (Twice currently being the limit as I only have two decay cards, so I'm not going to repeat that trick again.)
I'll draw a card, then play a Verdant Growth, which allows me to draw two cards and play a card. And so I do that, and play a Squirrel. Squirrel drops his nut, which I then spend 2 stars to immediately turn into an Oak Tree. And... I'm back in the game with a fighting chance. At the end of my turn, the Oak Tree drops an acorn...

I destroyed that acorn with the chaingun.
Yep, but read the wording on the oak tree:
(https://i.imgur.com/pWnEJhU.png)
It happens at the end of every turn. So another one dropped when your turn ended. If you read back, when I faced both you and Flabort, I had three acorns every round from the one tree. As you nerfed your similar every-turn scavenger bot stars, I'm happy from this turn on to only drop the acorns on my turn from now on. Would that work for you?
Ugh... Go ahead and keep it, but I know now that I'd rather avoid 'end of each turn' effects if possible in the future, it just feels wrong whether I'm doing it or my opponent is.
Still, if people are allowed to continue using it, I'll just have to be more aware of it.

I draw, Then play another Nanite Cloud. This becomes a Mech Shield Module attached to the Hoplite.
The Hoplite eats an acorn... For fuel I guess.
My turn ends and I get two more stars.

Will amend it to "at the start of your turn" when the game ends.
So at the end of your turn two more acorns spawn.
I'll draw a card, then play Heavy Rain. This deals 1 damage to all your cards (with the shield redirect, none to Phalanx, and either 1 or 0 to shield, depending on how you interpret that.)
(https://i.imgur.com/8dinoN1.png)
It also puts a Long Grass from my deck into play.
Squirrel will attack one of the Scavenger Bots.
Then I will spend 6 stars to put three more oak trees in play, converting all current acorns. Then i drop five acorns. And now you might see why it's called the Forest Deck...
At the end of my turn, I drop five acorns...

(If you're worried about this meaning infinite oak trees... it isn't, as I have no more decays and will need to use my comparatively inefficient long grass + rabbit method of star generation in future.)
I'm only partially concerned, I have two things I can draw to win, one of which pretty much instagibs the moment I draw it.
But that's two cards, so I really gotta get lucky.
Also, I think the damage from rain is counting as two separated sources, so I think that's 0 damage.

I draw, then play a Missile Pod on the Hoplite.
The Hoplite eats another acorn... I'll need to discipline it later.
My turn ends and I get two more stars.

(Card numbers were wrong on last post, now fixed. I'm working off a physical deck, this record should all be correct now)
So 5 more acorns spawn at the end of your turn, bring total up to 9.
I'll draw a card, then play my last Biodiversity, allowing me to play two cards. First I play a Badger for 1 star. I use his power to flip your Shield. Then I play Weasel for 1 star. It attacks straight away, dealing four to the Hoplite. My squirrel eats all nine acorns, bolstering its health by +9. Then the Squirrel destroys the Hoplite with one final point of damage, along with both attached modules.
At the end of my turn, I drop five more acorns, leaving the total at five.

So 5 more acorns spawn at the end of your turn, bring total up to 10.
I'll draw a card, and play my Fox! Cute and deadly. Then my badger flips one of your Scavenger Bots. You hadn't noted it, but both Bots had taken 1 damage each from the rain earlier, so I destroy the unflipped Scavenger Bot with my Weasel, who deals the needed 4 damage.
Squirrel eats ten more Acorns, becoming even fatter.
Then Badger and super Squirrel attacks you directly for 5 whole damage!
Lastly, Badger flips himself over.
At the end of my turn, I drop five more Acorns, leaving the total at 5.

I'll draw a card, and play it... it's a long awaited second Squirrel! I get it to eat all the existing acorns. Also it just being there, means the other squirrel's attack is now 2.
My Fox kills your last Scavenger Bot, and then my slightly buffed Squirrel attacks you directly for 2 more damage!
At the end of my turn, I drop five more Acorns, leaving the total at 5.

I'll draw a card, up to 5. Again, 5 more acorns spawn at the end of your turn, bringing the total back up to 10. My smaller squirrel eats them all, so now both squirrels have 21h.
I play Crow. I don't search my deck for a decay as I've already played them all. I think there are only 7 cards left in my deck.
Both Squirrels attack your Cyber Stealth Transport for 4 damage, taking 3 damage each. Then Fox destroys the Transport and doesn't take any damage because of this.
At the end of my turn, I drop five more Acorns, leaving the total at 5.

As a note of how important it was that we nerfed Scavenger Bot, we would have seen a turn 3 Spatial Distortion into Cyber Dragon. Yeah really.
Hahaha I have one more trick... it's not up my sleeve, but under my hood...
(https://i.imgur.com/YUd4AYp.png)
...
I was a squirrel all along!
(https://i.imgur.com/0XNZlPE.png)
I can't be targeted while there are oak trees! Check mate!
I'm curious, if I played Cyber Dragon, would the outcome have changed?
You might have won a bit sooner, as I'd have struggled to destroy it before it flew over my trees and direct damaged me to death.
I mean as opposed to the Basilisk, I only had the choice after my transport dug both of them out of my deck.
Now that I think of it, I only have one card in my collection that has not been featured, since I'm going to other decks here it is for those curious.
