I do not know why the cards need to be a certain size.

You can/Website Developers can change the Image to the size they want.

The Voodoo Team has Merged "Deadline Extension" and "Clockmaster" into 1 Topic. These cards are similar in nature as they add/subtract time from voodoo cards. We would like to get more players feedback on this topic as some feel that this could be a fun card in the game, if we come up with the right mechanics.

Thoughts?

So many interesting combinations come to mind if this voodoo can choose whether to add or subtract time to an active curse. I love the idea of this card, my only hesitation is that the cost to craft the card must be relatively low: If this card "Clockmaster" or "Timemaster" costs more than a Mindbar then it will NEVER get used. If it costs only a few cheap voodoo cards then the crafting time is the only real cost and it would get used. I imagine smaller Witch Huts would spend their crafting time churning out one of these per day while the bigger Witch Huts are busy making more powerful voodoo. This would be a lower tier of legendary voodoo.

Possible Effects:
Casting cost is 1 turn
±200% duration to common cards, ±100% duration to uncommon cards, ±40% duration to rare cards, +20% duration to Legendary cards

duration=the duration printed on the card, not the current remaining duration. Caster gets to choose if in adds or subtracts duration time.

Possible Uses:
A new way to take down someone's Mindbar. <-- this alone makes the card a powerful one
Easy way to add duration to a raid target while only using 1 turn.
Make Favorable Winds, English India Company and Advanced Piracy last for 9 days.
Make the Legendary Card Planned Raid last longer with less turn investment.

SPECIAL NOTE: This could be an ingredient in many Legendary Voodoo Recipes.

Clockmaster

Postby Captain dungeness » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:04 am

There have been tons of new suggestions posted recently but we also need to finish up older suggestions. Here I have summarized the Clockmaster suggestion:

Cost to craft:
3x time spirals
1x black death
2x hands of gold
1x expensive tools
2x self sacrifice
Time to craft: 12h

Effect:
Casting cost is 1 turn
±200% duration to common cards, ±100% duration to uncommon cards, ±40% duration to rare cards, +20% duration to Legendary cards

duration=the duration printed on the card, not the current remaining duration. Caster gets to choose if it adds or subtracts duration time.

Possible Uses:
A new way to take down someone's Mindbar. <-- this alone makes the card a powerful one
Easy way to add duration to a raid target while only using 1 turn.
Make Favorable Winds, English India Company and Advanced Piracy last for 9 days.
Make the Legendary Card Planned Raid last longer with less turn investment.

SPECIAL NOTE: This could be an ingredient in some Legendary Voodoo Recipes. Why you ask? Because lower tier Witch Huts will not be able to keep producing high-tier legendary voodoo so this voodoo fills a lower tier role while a player saves up for larger voodoo crafting. It also makes for more interesting voodoo crafting economics to use a low tier legendary card in a crafting high tier legendaries.

Think about all the possible uses. Would you find this card worth crafting?

No, I would not find this card worth crafting. I see how it can be used, though. Still, I am not a fan of this suggestion. Extanding cards is basically using the same card more times. I want NEW effects. This one is equivalent to just using more of the existing cards.

As a side note, "plus/minus" 200% duration looks weird. Minus 200% duration would mean what, exactly? :-)

Agree with haron on this, I think that legendary should be voodoo with new effects that is greater than of normal voodoo.

I think what it means is it removes it completely from urself and a new one is reflected on the caster of the cleared voodoo.
