Curse of the Witch Doctor

at that point, all you do is to delay the inevitable... you could just wait, use some credits, or, going back to this card, you could cast it on yourself to prevent time spirals

[Grogggy]

...or a mindbar. or a countercurse.

Dude, I'm not saying I'm against your card, just struggling to make all THAT useful.

How about a more binding mindbar that u cast on someone? Like "thou shall not cast on me" but specific to a player and unbreakable.

"I need a break from player "x""

Its not that I'm bigfooting on your thread, more brainstorming on your idea. I agree the game needs more defensive voodoo--but not too much.

Such a tough line to tightrope-takes balance!

the way I saw it was that you have one curse that will block the next curse cast on you and vanish, one that stays for 72 hours and has a 25% chance of failure. This one, like Nicko said only stops one curse from being cast on you, but it will always block it, even if it has piercing.

Explain why ye's meant "always block."

[Painmaster]

It will always stop the curse chosen, because it would make it so that the chosen player cannot even be targeted by the chosen curse

So, as I understand it : if I was to cast this card to block 'Ambush' being used against me (or another) then no player could either use ambush against me (or them) or clear the block, until the card expires?

if so, I think its far too powerful... and so I would want to use it 24/7 myself... but would not be too happy to start hitting a target to then find they were using it...

[Painmaster]

you can still remove it with purify or serenity... the only cards you can not block with this card are those two, because otherwise it is overpowered

[Most Lee Harmless]

Ah, good, then it sounds much better balanced that way.

[Painmaster]

I think the main issue here is that people aren't reading the card effect correctly...
