This week, the card we would like to hear your feedback on will be [card]Conversion[/card] (sorry it's in french, but it's the same name in both languages).

The idea is to get a quick idea on what works and what doesn't for further improvement.

What are its strengths/weaknesses? When do you play this card? Does it play well with another card? If so, which one? In what type of deck can it be integrated?

The aim is to express your opinion but also listen to others...

This topic will be open for a week. We expect you to be civil and respectful, provide constructive feedback, and of course trolls or flames will be immediately dealt with.

Re : Card of the Week : Conversion

Well first of all you should at least list out the detail, especially if there is a broken card link like this...

Conversion - Compendium Action:  If you have one Perminent Spell Attached, discard it and two random Perminent Spells from your discard are played.

Other Cards Specifically effected:  Sylthide

Obvious uses:
Crystal Strom
The Pythia
Draconis... (? I haven't tested this yet)
Stone Ritual (this is actually fairly sweet if they aren't already at 0 spirit)

Non-obvious uses:
Discard two perminent cards(Ice Barrier/Magic field, ext.), play a damage spell + conversion on a character(The Pythia most likely) that has Sylthide on it.  Big bang + two "free" perminents.

The Bad:  Requires 1 and 1 only perminent spell on a character to use.  So the non-obvious use is meh at best since there are no Noz/Non-Affilated perminent spells I know of you can cast on others.  So the combo at best is turn 4-6 and stops you from playing two perminents on that characters first turn(however if it's not Pythia you have to play Sylthide anyhow).  A much easier route to do most of this is simply using [card]Crystal Stone[/card] or for those unlucky enough not to get it simply throw in a few Power.

The Good: With Sylthide it powers up non-spirit based spells too.  Sure it won't work with AoE's since your using Conversion but if your using Implosion, Burn in Hell, ext.  Bigger boom.

It's a very specific toss up really.  It might be too complex to hope for such a minor improvement.  For something this specific I'd expect a bit more out of it, +3 damage and maybe an additional perminent played this turn for a loss of 1 damage per spell perminent?  I just don't see most people depending on it, but I'll try it out and edit this with my final vote.

Re : Card of the Week : Conversion

It's a card with multiple uses.

Upsides:
- It works well with Crystal Storm, specially if it gets thrown to the discard pile by the opponent. You can pick Ice Barrier -> Crystal Storm.

Downsides:
- Requires exactly 1 Spell permanent. If you're fighting against a Corruption deck, this card is useless. It should not require exactly 1 Spell permanent - could instead work like this:
If one Permanent Spell is attached to your character as this card activates, it will discard and two other Permanent Spells playable by your character in your Discard Pile are played immediately following your cards played this Turn.
If two or more Permanent Spells are attached to your character as this card activates, two of them will discard and one Permanent Spell playable by your character in your Discard Pile is played immediately following your cards played this Turn.

Magic poison and a few others can mess this up too but it isn't bad to ahve a counter weakness... except this doesn't do enough.  However, at this strength level I'd say having it count only perminent spells played by your characters would be more fair.  Though a a general +2 defense or even a +2 hp at end of turn would be sufficiant.
