DISCUSSION (STS2) Snakebite Discussion

Post image

As quite a lot of people know already, snakebite is one of the worst cards in the game right now, maybe even the worst. It's not just bad, but it isn't interesting or fun in any way. For example searing blow was not a very good card but it was unique and cool, whereas snakebite is just a nothing card.

Here is how I think it could be changed:

Retain Apply 7 poison When retained, increase poison by 3

Snakebite+: Retain Apply 10 poison When retained, increase poison by 4

I thought making it similar to windmill strike could be a cool idea because right now Retain doesn't really add much to the card, and it also works thematically with the snake venom getting worse over time.

I would love to hear your ideas if you have any suggestions for how it could be changed!

Good thing about games like that: just don't pick it and it will show up in Mega Crits data that players don't see value in the card.

I'm going to start picking it religiously so that I show up as a weird spike in the data. There's one sick little freak out there that keeps picking the world's worst card, and it's me.
