Hello there! @saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
I'm finally back after my 1 week hiatus from the #TPGChallenge and for this weeks task @thepeoplesguild has asked us to create a @yabapmatt inspired summoner card. This is by any means has no relation with the proposal to create a yabapmatt card but was just for fun. If you want to participate, you can go on this post and follow the instruction. Now, let us proceed with my card concept.
"Among the battle mage, Yabapmatt has shown an incredible talent in an early age, with the ability to harness the power of both Death and Life Element, under the tutelage of Aggroed. But his talent has resulted for him to get full of himself, doing numerous mischiefs across Praetoria. Because of this, numerous bounty hunt has been requested to @thepeoplesguild just to do another mischief which will sent him again to jail."
But Everything has change when the Chaos Empire begins to invade Praetoria. In order to to oppose the threat of the Chaos Legion, Aggroed created the Splinter Brigade with the help of the Riftwatchers which he later abdicate the leadership to Yabapmatt. Everyone has doubts of yabapmatt becoming the new leader given his past mischiefs but Yabapmatt has shown great leadership and charisma which allows him to grow the Splinter Brigade as an enough threat to the Chaos Empire. Now, it is just a matter of time before he lits the fire of Rebellion.
Card Stats
| Mana Cost | 4 |
| Element |  Death Life |
| Card Type |  Summoner |
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Global Stats | -1  Speed on all enemy units+1  Armor on all ally units  Assurance |
| Tactics | Give 2 units  Void and  Ricochetor Give 1 unit  Corrupted Healing and  Cleanse Rearguard |
| Conditional Abilities |  Runicore Quake +2 Mana |
Element Choice:
The choice of the summoner being a dual element card that can use Death and Life units follows the fact that such summoner was still not present among the Rebellion summoners and that Zyriel, the first dual-element card to be released is a Death and Life Splinter.
Mana Cost:
Now, for the mana cost, I choose it to have 4 mana which could also translates for "man of the people" since he can be used even during Little League.
Global Stats:
Giving -1 speed on enemy units was based on the traits of Death summoner to give negative stats on the opponent like Cryptmancer and Mimosa Nighshade while Life summoners are known for increasing the life or defense of the his team like the Peakrider and Mother Khala hence, the +1 in armor. And for the global ability, I have decided to give it a new ability which I call Assurance which removes the RNG factor on Affliction, Poison, Retaliate and Mimic.
| Assurance | |
|---|---|
 | Upon successful attack Affliction, Poison, Retaliate and Mimic was guaranteed to be activated. |
Summoner Tactics:
Option 1:
For the summoner tactics, I also included a new ability which I called Ricochet which is like a weaker version of Blast for it only hits 1 adjacent unit. But when used together with a unit with Blast ability or during Explosive Weaponry ruleset, this becomes more powerful as it can now hit up to 4 units. On the other hand, Void was there to reduce the damage against magic attacks.
| Void | |
|---|---|
 | Attack damage gets halved (rounded up), except attack 1 which deals 0 damage. |
| Ricochet | |
 | Inflicts 1/2 of the attacker's damage one adjacent unit of the target. When there are multiple adjacent units, the units that receives damage becomes random. |
Option 2:
For the choice of the 2nd tactic, I just find it that adding Corrupted Healing makes perfect sense being it a Life and Death summoner as while it heals all units that receives damage it also reduces their max health each time that they are healed. While on it, I also included Cleanse Rearguard so it can remove any negative status effects on my backline units.
| Corrupted Healing | |
|---|---|
 | Each round, restore 1/3 of max health to allied units, rounded down. Each time a unit is healed, its max health is reduced by 1. |
| Cleanse Rearguard | |
 | Cleanses the last allied backline unit with a magic debuff. |
For the summoner tactics, I also included a new ability which I called Ricochet which is like a weaker version of Blast for it only hits 1 adjacent unit. But when used together with a unit with Blast ability or during Explosive Weaponry ruleset, this becomes more powerful as it can now hit up to 4 units.
Conditional Abilities:
This are abilities that would only activate upon clearing certain conditions like if we got Spells from land or by having the required monsters in the lineup.
| Runicore | |
|---|---|
 | Gives True Strike ability to the first position unit when Runi is part of the lineup. |
| Quake | |
 | When there are 4 or more Flying units in the lineup, only the opponent team will be subjected to the earthquake ruleset. |
| +2 Mana | Using Spells from Land, you can increase the mana cap of your team, similar on Guild Brawls. |
Behind Process
Closing
And that was it for my summoner concept for @yabapmatt. I am not the best of giving names on abilities but I tried to make its abilities not so op to keep the game balance and also to make it a "chase card" that will make people want to buy it if it ever comes implemented. I guess it will be up to theycallmetim to have a look on it and make finer adjustments.
And that was it for my post. Thanks for reading and see you at the next post.
