While I wait for...

Marvel Heroes to d/l the patch and itself, I might as well pull off a grand summary of what I've done thus far. Well sorta...

Mr TTC: I don't think trying to do your own CCG is ideal, you know.

Me: Why?

Mr TTC: Because Marvel is a global company. You do this kind of thing, they will want you to pay royalty.

Above convo truly happened during church. So much for trying to be my own man... -_-

Apparently, I got myself lost in 2-3 sub-quests @Hell's Kitchen. Damn fun running around in open space and spamming Black Panther's basic attack tho*...
*Gutted to say I've yet to get the hang of using Cyro-Dagger in terms of trying to pahlang instead of pahjiao.

[Marvel Alliance of the Atom Ver 1]

What you need:

1. Cards from Marvel Alliance of the Atom

2. More than one deck of poker cards

3. Counters

Different phases during every player's turn:
Draw-Draw a card from any deck belonging to your Characters. You can only draw one card per turn this way.
Main-This is where your Characters will engage combat with enemy Characters.
End-Concludes your current turn together with resolving any debuff (including Stun) effects.
Note: Unless stated otherwise, all debuff/Stun effects lasts only until end of current turn.

Character and deck rules:

1. For every Character played, a deck containing 53 cards plus 7 additional Character cards must be used. More on the latter part later on.
2. Every Character will have his/her own respective cost. No matter what, total cost used cannot exceed the maximum limit of 10.
3. Maximum number of cards in your hand will be decided by twice the number of Characters you play.

4. Every Character's actions will be classified under one of the four types, i.e. Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds.

Card type rules:

1. Diamond denotes Heal. Value of the card played will decide how much Life your Character will recover. Can be used more than once during any given turn.

2. Clubs denotes Stun. Value of card played must be greater than target Character's Strength or Life, depending which one is higher. Stun can only be played once per turn and after successfully dealing damage.

3. Hearts denotes Defend. Value of card played will reduce the amount of damage suffered by your Character. If that card's value is greater than damage dealt, defending Character takes no damage instead, i.e. successful Defend. Can be used more than once during any given turn.

4. Spades denotes Attack. Value of card played decides the amount of damage which can be dealt. Can only be used once per turn.

Rules for different cards:

1. Standard cards will have value ranging from 2 to 10.
2. Burst cards are those beyond the value of 10, i.e. Jack, Queen, King.
3. Characters affected by Stun cannot use any action apart from Heal.
4. Using Heal will remove Stun.

Burst:
1. Only one Burst card can be used per turn.
2. Burst will override all other effects.
2. Attack Burst, i.e. Spades, will always deal full damage. Damage value is fixed at 12.
3. Defend Burst, i.e. Hearts, will always ignore all damage dealt from a single source.
4. Stun Burst, i.e. Clubs, will always cause Stun status regardless of whether target Character manage to take damage.
5. Heal Burst will always recover full Life. Remove all debuff status including Stun this way.
6. If a player's Character deals 1 Attack Burst and target Character uses 1 Defend Burst, the Character with the higher Burst value wins, i.e. winner activates the respective Burst effect while the loser's Burst effect will be nullified.*
*Stun and Heal Burst cannot be used this way.
Note-Burst card value counts as Jack being the lowest and King the highest.

Flare:
1. Applicable only for Characters only.
2. Every deck must have four Aces. Flare will confer either twice the damage successfully dealt or +4 to Defend.
3. Flare lasts until end of your next turn.


Universe:
1. Every deck can only have one Joker.
2. If you draw one Joker card and decided to use it, all your Characters can use any ONE card from the hand as a Burst card. 
3. Will only last until end of current turn.
4. Can only choose one type of Burst effect.

Combat:
1. Unless specified otherwise, every Character can only Attack once per turn.
2. Attacking Character will always initiate attack.
3. Defending Character can never do so, no matter what.
4. Defending Character will attack back against the attacking enemy Character as a result.
5. Defending Character cannot attack back once stunned.
6. Characters cannot attack once stunned.

Characters:
1. Every Character will have one Ability.

4. Alternate Impact can only be used during your current turn and will last until starting of your next turn.
5. You can only use one Alternate Impact per same Character.
6. Alternate Impact confers +1 to any two stats of your choosing.
7. Cards used for this purpose can be added to the respective Character's deck.

Combat type
1. Blindside: Will always attack first.
2. Rage: +3 to successful damage dealt during next attack whenever receiving damage.
3. Brawl: Attack twice per turn instead of once.
4. Lock: Attack deals full damage at the cost of any one extra card used. Cards discarded this way must have a higher value than the Attack card used.
5. Leadership: Draw 1 extra card from any friendly Character's deck after winning a combat.
6. Wild Card: Unique effect that does not belong to any of the above five.

Stats:
1. Every Character will have the following stats: Life, Strength, Agility, Intelligence.
2. Life indicates maximum amount of damage Character can take. Once any Character's Life drops to 0, the Character will be declared dead and removed from game.
3. Strength indicates how much damage a Character can dish out. However, actual damage dealt will be decided by value of the Spades card played+Character's Strength.
5. Agility indicates Character's chances of avoiding damage altogether so long value of the Hearts card played+Character's Agility is higher than total value of damage dealt by enemy Character.
6. Intellect indicates number of extra cards drawn from that Character's deck during Draw phase so long you have less than 4 cards in hand. Can be stacked with Leadership.
