Not suggesting we submit this right now, but I had an idea for an anti-removal critter:

NAME*: Shield Mech
COST: 0
IMAGE*:
COLOUR*: Black
TYPE-SUBTYPE: Critter
EFFECT: This card's cost is treated as 5r while in play.
FLAVOUR TEXT: N/A
STRENGTH-VITALITY: 20/20
RARITY: Common (6 copy max per deck)

And here's a way of getting around Immutable's limitation:

NAME*: Backdoor
COST: 4
IMAGE*:
COLOUR*: Black
TYPE-SUBTYPE: Sticky
EFFECT: This card ignores Immutable. Your cards' Immutable traits only affect cards played by your opponents..
FLAVOUR TEXT: N/A
STRENGTH-VITALITY: N/A
RARITY: Rare

Maybe that would make Immutable a less interesting mechanic, I don't know.

Finally, here's a 0r critter:

NAME*: Variable Soldier α
COST: 0
IMAGE*:
COLOUR*: Black
TYPE-SUBTYPE: Sticky
EFFECT: When this card comes into play, you may swap its Strength and Vitality.
FLAVOUR TEXT: N/A
STRENGTH-VITALITY: 10s-30v
RARITY: Rare

It loses 10 stat points compared to a generic 0r critter, but the stat-swap mechanic lets it adapt to the cards the opponent is playing. It also lets you choose whether it dies to Scientific Waifu's backlash or not.

Can we make ASCW 10s20v instead of 20s10v? As-is, it'll be absolutely excruciating to keep it on the field, at least in the early game.

Nearly-Immortal Waifu: (1) TricMagic
Tribble: (1) Elephant Parade

We do have more turns to make stuff. So it's not that big a deal. And we have shudder generics to fall back on.
[Immutable] is kinda double-edged since it can't be supported by low-tier cards, or cheated out cheaply. But it's also quite useful for ignoring anything but the higher levels of removal. Just a unique-level beatstick that can help out against most threats.

Power Plant Waifu: (1) Stirk
(Stirk) A Certain Scientific Waifu: (4) Stirk, SC777, VermilionSkies, Elephant Parade
Nearly-Immortal Waifu: (1) SC777,
(TricMagic) Assault Unit Mecha-chan: (3) Elephant Parade, VermilionSkies, TricMagic

For sure. What I mean is that right now, a common lets us take six awful starter cards out of our deck and a unique only one. When our deck has fewer awful starter cards in it, uniques will be attractive. Right now, not quite so much. Like, imagine that Team One submits the most basic possible 0* critter: an effectless 30v-20s. With our 20v-20s Generic Mooks, we'd struggle to stay afloat long enough to get Assault Unit Mecha-chan out.

I don't think Rad Soldier's gimmick synergizes with Scientific Waifu, so here's my proposal (shamelessly repeated from Legacy Tournament, where I never played it):

NAME: Tribble
COST: 1
IMAGE*: https://i.imgur.com/1AUkevm.png
COLOR: Pink
TYPE-SUBTYPE: Critter
EFFECT: (Quickplay) If this card is in your hand at the end of your turn, show it to your opponent, then duplicate it.
FLAVOUR TEXT: N/A
STRENGTH-VITALITY: 30/10

It can take out an x/30 and it gives us a steady supply of creatures to blast with Scientific Waifu.

Sure.

I guess it could be bumped up to Rare? Not like you'd want to run more than two or three with how expensive and lategame-centric it is.

I'll vote for A Certain Scientific Waifu (Stirk) and Assault Unit Mecha-chan.

Read the thread. All of these cards are horrifyingly complicated and overpowered. I fear for my life.
