(Yeah, one of our members was kinda fuming at your board wipes, wanted to give a taste of your own medicine.)(Of course you guys make a counter to Firebase on accident the same turn I design it.and it's also artillery as well. I just find this funny.)
So, in light of being face-down possibly not being a reliable way to avoid death, I made this janky hack:I don't think you need to make it played face-down? That just kinda sounds like an extra step. You could just make it activate on-play, since it doesn't have any effect that would actually relate to it being face down.It seems a bit weak to me, but I'm not sure what would be a good way of making it stronger. Hmm, maybe boosting the attack?Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ah, right. Oof.I'm not particularly worried myself, because I'm quite confident that this is just Tric jumping about three separate guns simultaneously, and I have a whole two Bombardments in my hand, which means that Firebase won't last the turn.
Hmm, I'm prepared to be mistaken, I often am. Funny kind of mistake if I am mistaken, as this was my whole counter to Meteor.Well to be fair, you did make a counter to Storm Cell, which is equally as big of a problem since they can play it for free. But yeah, while the Fog is good, assuming I'm right(which experience tells me I am but I can never be sure with my memory), it's just not the best for my deck. After all, I don't really need to spam-play units, I don't have any flip gimmicks, they only have one board wipe it works against, etc. The best thing it can do is return the Mountain to my hand and then replay it to double-dip the graveyard.
Firebase triggers at the start of turn, not when it is played.Yeah, while it's not directly mentioned in the rules, I'd assume it would fall under the same thought process as rule 17
E: Also, didn't you already play Meteor Shower this turn?It's a building, the first one played each turn doesn't count in The City
I think I can see why you didn't field hardly any of the best card we have... flipped down cards can't be targeted by board wipes. TricMagic even used this to his advantage with Stormcell in the first round. This is almost the whole point of the Fog.I don't know where you got that from considering I got "they CAN be targeted by board wipes" from my previous experiences in CYOGTCG games
I mean, would Storm Cell have a clause that specifies it only works on face up cards if it wouldn't have worked on face down ones otherwise? But yeah, if I had realized that was the intent there, I would have pointed such a thing out beforehand. As it is, while it will dodge Storm Cell, it won't do anything about Meteor Shower or Unintentional Bombardment.Like, a big part of Fog of War is being able to dodge board wipes.Also, generally yeah facedowns take damage from AoE damage effectsYou sure about that?
That's how I remember it working in previous games. Maybe it's changed by now but while you couldn't target them, they could still take damage, they just won't die until they're flipped.Also, generally yeah facedowns take damage from AoE damage effectsYou sure about that?

Anyway. I think that Ms Scales is going to have a bad time in the Dragon Graveyard- their artillery would become a 10/7. And their Maiden will actually have attack. Good luck, but I suspect that's going to be a loss for us.Yeah, they seem to have made a top tier card for that zone in the little time they had to work on it. Frankly, I'd suggest we make that whole 'slumbering calamity' idea. Seems like the only real way to make something that's going to be able to withstand dealing with that thing. Whether we're summoning the calamity itself or feeding it to a Mountain.
