DESIGN
Attempted to maintain symmetry in card slots and costs across aspects:
- 99 primary aspect cards (blue, green, red, yellow - using ratios 31-31-34-3 for villainy-heroism-neutral-double respectively)
- 26 heroism cards (white)
- 26 villainy cards (black)
- 8 neutral cards (colorless)
- 3.47 average cost with
- 80% units (aiming for ~70%) with 71% ground units
Prioritized keywords SENTINEL, SHIELDED, AMBUSH and excluded FORCE mechanic (narrow/parasitic archetype).
Prioritized multiplayer-oriented cards that affect "each player" or entire arenas.
Most games end by turn 7 or 8 and ramp is sparse in singleton SWU right now so 7+ cost cards are very limited.
