Card idea: Timefalls

I would start by adding "not useable if you played Timefalls last turn".

Please detail.

A free reaction that completely shuts down all decks not focused on non-multiacting fatties, and which also has very good other effect to use it if there are only non-multiacting fatty decks around.

Very few decks are completely or slightly shut down because they only get 4 actions per turn.

Agreed. I also don't think that you could so easily cycle multiple copies of this card, especially if the TEM part was restricted to locations (which is a sensible restriction thematically: the vampire goes and acquires the location herself). As has been said, for any deck that takes four or fewer actions per turn (maybe most decks?), you won't be able to play it. And even if you can play it, you'll probably be shutting your opponent down at the end of her string of actions. Plus it foils Mono-Una decks, which is maybe nice.

I like the card.

no card in the game is 3 different types.

is too strong compared to other thaumatugy press cards

is a silver bullet that adds nothing interesting to the game. HAH YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR TURN!

gives more master phase actions to a clan that is able to untap constantly

I agree with the view that should be a press, only usable to either end, or continue combat. One should take care to make outferiors superior to existing cards' inferior abilities. (Wait... what? ) No, but seriously, a free press either way is a bit too much for thaumaturgy, which doesn't have unrestricted presses even on . Either make the minion burn a blood, or restrict the effect.

I, for one, can't see the problem in the version. It honestly doesn't seem that over powered. Four actions is bleedin' plenty already. I can't see many decks being hosed by a couple of turns with "only" four actions. To be honest, I can't see many decks even attempting more than four on a regular basis. On top of that you'll need to be untapped to use the card, and so on. I think it's fairly balanced!

To be sure, it MIGHT cost a blood to use - the whole card, that is. I just can't think why that would be warranted. Especially if effect only works for locations. I agree that unrestricted un-suddenable masters during your minion phase might be a bit over the top. Villeins on stolen vampires, pentexes, giant's bloods - you get the idea... The idea's fine, though, and I would be happy to see it either affecting only locations or non-trifle masters.

Or only trifles?!

Then again, the most effective masters are already trifles to begin with.

It's an interesting, and thematically fun card, which is by no means over powered in my opinion. Just be careful with the outferiors. I think Flames of Netherworld was glancing the edge already.

I'd love to playtest this one too. Are there .pdf print files already?
