Custom Card Good or nah?

Post image

Sigil: Monkey See, Monkey Attack

The card bearing this sigil attacks everytime when your other cards attack. For example, if there's any 0 attack card on your side, it doesn't attack. But if there are two cards with at least 1 attack on your side of the board, the card with this sigil attacks twice (one time after each attack). If there's a Mantis God on your side (or any card with it's sigil), it will only count as one attack (the card will attack after the Mantis God does all his 3 attacks).

It's pretty balanced

u/ImNotAPersonAnymore May 19 '26

A 2 cost 1/4 seems pretty busted to me. Especially if it can attack multiple times.

u/GlitteringStyle4197 May 19 '26

It can also not attack at all, the opponent can neutralize this card by killing other cards on your board

u/fullynonexistent May 20 '26

"it's not broken because your opponent can just wipe out every other card in your board" brother what

6

u/GlitteringStyle4197 May 20 '26

Instead of killing 2 cards you only have to kill one to neutralize both, how's that sound now ?

u/Deebyddeebys May 19 '26

What do you mean especially if it didn't have that ability it would be worthless

u/ImNotAPersonAnymore May 19 '26

1/4 is pretty tanky and can be upgraded at campfire and elsewhere.

u/Kaeri_g May 19 '26

Not for a two cost tbh. A two cost tank is a Riversnapper , which is 1/6. Without the sigil this is just a worse river snapper.

u/Deebyddeebys May 19 '26

And River snapper is not even good

u/Kaeri_g May 19 '26

It's okay only because it's also a reptile which means totem, otherwise yeah you can get far better 2 bloods. Like an Elk is already just as good of a defense option since it also has 2 power for only 2 less hp.

u/GlitteringStyle4197 May 19 '26

Yeah but it does have the sigil, if you manage to upgrade it to 2/4 - 3/4, you have a very very broken card

1

u/Kaeri_g May 19 '26

Yeah but that person's argument was that it was already a pretty good card without the sigil. I agree that with it it's pretty strong but not overpowered since it can't attack on its own and needs at least one other attacking card. It's basically a discount direwolf on average, which is kinda fair since direwolf is a 3 blood, 2/5 with double strike, while on average this will hit once and maybe twice if you have a relatively low cost deck.

Creature death nerfs it too, overall i think it's balanced. It won't usually die in one turn, so it's not useless, but also you need a bit of planning around it. Kind of like an Ant.

u/GlitteringStyle4197 May 19 '26

Tho I think it needs less planning than ants, cause you need only one of those to work, and it's fairly easy to give it a campfire buff, or a bi/tri sigil, which would make it soooo OP, overall I think it's a balanced card but more on the powerful side, when you see it you take it, don't even have to think

u/cleaverbow May 19 '26

Does it also attacks on its own? Or does it needs other cards?

35

u/KawikoxuReddit May 19 '26

It needs at least one other attacking card, just for the balance of having 4 hp

2

u/Pegasusisamansman May 19 '26

How does it interact with the daus?

3

u/Lady_Taiho May 21 '26

An interaction nobody thinks of haha

17

u/ErPani May 19 '26

pretty balanced, good scaling with campfires

13

u/Luxumbrastatera May 19 '26

It needs 2 sibling cards. Forget about Yu-Gi-Oh’s Egyptian God Cards.

These are the Amazonian Deity Cards: See No Evil🙈 Hear No Evil🙉 Speak No Evil🙊

u/nannoonaa May 19 '26

oh its like the bloodhound sigil but not useless

1

u/Kaeri_g May 19 '26

I mean not really? Bloodhound is a tank ability, it goes it front of cards that are summoned, this one is purely offensive, attacking once for every attacking cards on the field (not including itself), they've got completely opposed philosophies

2

u/nannoonaa May 20 '26

Eeeeh you're kinda right, but bloodhound isn't a tank, that'd be the mole/man with their sigil, it's right in the middle juuust right to make me hate it lol

1

u/Kaeri_g May 20 '26

Well it's a tank where the Mole/Man is a wall lol

1

u/nannoonaa May 20 '26

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze

u/Veionovin096 May 20 '26

Give him a dart and we're talking

3

u/Figglegart May 21 '26

I can tell that if this thing was added people would immediately sacrifice it to give its sigil to anything else (just like with the Mantis god)

1

u/CardGameAcolyte May 19 '26

So its the monkey sub from btd5/6 if you have REALLY bad placement lol (except instead of attacking the same thing as the others, it attacks its own area)

1

u/OhNoThatsTooCursed May 19 '26

This is actually fire wtf lol

1

u/LegitGopnik May 19 '26

I love the functionality! And the art is very BTD6 lol

1

u/Ashen-Smoke May 20 '26

Pretty good, its not a mantis god but its take-able! and its not a tribed card so id say this is balanced  if a card like this was a wolf statue card it would be a little too strong

1

u/_-mortex-_ MantisGod addict May 20 '26

It's so cool, can I re-draw it and repost it if I credit you? :]

1

u/_-mortex-_ MantisGod addict May 20 '26

Its so cool! Can I redraw it and the sigil and repost it crediting you? Dont want to criticize your art skills but, even if I dont draw perfectly, im sure I could make it a bit more like a real card :]

1

u/_-mortex-_ MantisGod addict May 20 '26

I LOVE the concept, if I credit you would you allow me to repost it with a redrawn sigil and card art? Thanks! :]
