I'm playing too, but I gotta keep track of mine.. I'm thinking I may drop just cuz i'm losing track of who's posted after me.. i've posted so much today lol
No, its basically just because he's great.
"Now that's hospital dancing."
"Like many things, pumping is just a primitive form of bending."

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Rogue Galaxy: Well, I might just (tonight or tomorrow, I know I'm late) do Rogue Galaxy for my Game of the Week. Probably not, though. I'm not done with it yet, and I prefer to be done with a game before I rate it.
NP: Awesome! That's something I'd love to do: give to a charity by doing something that I love. Let's play DDR! I'll play a full game, and they can give $.01 for every point I rack up.
Strongbad: I like the second version more than I do the first. However, I think that card is completely broken for 2 mana.
Silent Prophet: The best I get in bowling is around... 141 or so. And that's on Wii Sports.
Bender Song: "Fry Cracks Corn and I don't Care, Leela Cracks Corn and I don't Care, Jimmy Cracks Corn and Bender Is great! Take that you stupid corn!" That one?
So I'm finally making Nai. I've never actually played him in our Colo. Sad, no?
By the way, Photon! Have you and Ether noticed exactly how many games Rogue Galaxy makes fun of? And/or references?
May I ask why you think it is broken at 2 mana, Nai?
And thanks to everyone else for the advice on the card. I really appreciate it. I don't think I'm going to win this round, as there are a lot of excellent cards, but I still am very thankful for the help from you guys. Oh, and good luck to Kraj, who is also in the final round. I hope you do well :).
@bowling: I'm going bowling on Friday night, so I'll see what score I'll get. I'll be lucky to get 100 though; I'm really bad at bowling.
May I ask why you think it is broken at 2 mana, Nai?
I dunno which version you went with but I thought I'd point out that the second version of your posted card could be "broken" with a certainreanimator combo. Infinite turns I hear are good.
And yes Bender is awesome!
Edit: Either version is infinite turns with that combo. My bad!
Well, it not only stops you from dying (for at least one turn), it also gives you a free extra turn. I can't think of many other cards that give you even ONE of those for 2 mana, much less both.
Rogue Galaxy: Well, I might just (tonight or tomorrow, I know I'm late) do Rogue Galaxy for my Game of the Week. Probably not, though. I'm not done with it yet, and I prefer to be done with a game before I rate it.

That's more of a Level 5 thing. They're somewhat infamous for poking fun at other games in their developments.
That is one of many of the Bender is Great songs. My personal favorite is just "Bender is great, oh, Bender is great." It has a simplicity like the poetry of Elizabeth Barret Browning, and it has a certain verité about it, like the words of Descartes, or the unspoken bond between a mother and child.
The idea is that it is similar to Angel's Grace in concept, but it gives you 2 turn to kill your opponent before they kill you. It is pretty much a better Angel's Grace, but without the surprise element. But since you were worried about the brokenness, I changed it to 3 mana, because that should not change it too much.
@CA: Actually you could just use mana burn, so you don't even need Force of Nature :D. I had thought about that, but I don't think it is too dangerous of a combo to be worried about. I mean, the Bringer is hard enough to get out on its own.
Well, yeah, I see 'em. But actually look at them for a moment.
Angel's Grace stops you from losing the game that turn. However, it's an instant, so it only lasts one turn. Yours is an artifact, so it lasts many turns and is a constant threat. That's worth at least 2 mana right there.
Final Fortune gives you the extra turn for 2 mana. But it also makes you lose the game at the end of that next turn if you haven't won already. Removing that drawback is worth a couple more mana.
You combined the two for just 2 mana, which is incredibly broken to me. It's also an artifact, which means it can be gotten again.
I think you should at least make it be removed from game once you hit 1 life.
Photon: I've seen references to Xenosaga (the shape/look of the tablets), Skies of Arcadia (the pirate ships), Soul Calibur (one of Jaster's swords is named Spirit Calibur). What else...

I'm really not sure "Spirit Calibur" counts as a reference, as it's a fairly generic-sounding name for a magical weapon. The pirate ships are just en thema, and the tables are more than likely only similar because it's a fairly common design element in modern science fiction.
Now, for a really obscure piece of industry parody in a game, look at Star Ocean 3-
SO3 was created just before Enix and Square merged companies, and up until that time, the two companies enjoyed a certain rivalry between them. This can be noted in SO3 particularly, in the fact that one of the major antagonistic forces in the world is a corporation named Sphere, which is an evil game company that produces one of the 4-D world's most popular games. It's commonly believed that this is a jab at Square, considering the geometric names, and the fact that they have a variety of other similarities. Some fans even speculate that various Sphere Corporation employees are caricatures of notable Square employees, although I myself think this is nothing more than a rumor. Still, there is your random piece of gamer trivia for the day.
Now, for a game that is ripe with allusions and parody, play Contact, by Atlus. The game is quite literally a satire on a wide variety of RPG conventions and titles, along with other things (including Livejournal!)
Remember that after the extra turn, you are at 1 life, assuming you did not gain any, so it is almost like Final Fortune, because if you don't kill them during the extra turn, you're pretty much dead.
Why does it being an artifact make it a constant threat? The effect only happens once, and I think the fact that they know about it makes it worse because they are not surprised and can plan ahead for it. With Angel's Grace, they alpha-strike and then you play Angel's Grace and your opponent is hosed. That is what made Children of Korlis not so great, but making Grace good.
Like I said earlier, I did change it to 3 mana, so it should be better now. I'll think about the "remove from the game" idea.
I don't know, it may be just me. But the card Test of Endurance did little more than what you're doing, and it cost loads more. That's sort of my basis.
And you might be right, Photon. Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

I'm playing, too. I have no idea who has posted after me, since I sort of forgot to check.
And we don't have a roomba, but we have Jack.
Wait, we're actually doing coffeehouse bingo?!? Doh'! I'll ask for a card from... was it Umgenni?
Because Bender is great. Haven't you heard the song?
I know that Bender is great. But maybe he had a special reason....
"Now that's hospital dancing."
"Like many things, pumping is just a primitive form of bending."
... I could go on.
I'm 40% Titanium!
I'm 40% Zinc!"
Thats 120%?!
He's 120% awesome, so it makes sense.
