Omnitron-X

See, now, Omnitron-X is awesome on its face, no faith required.  The video was great.  I can't wait to get my hands on this blue little guy to see how he plays.

I agree! Looks so cool. I'm just thinking his power might seem OPed. But it depends on how he plays. Making no judgements just yet....

What video ? where ?

Here.

The kickstarter, it is the most recent update.

I love this power... it is the one I was suggesting for an altnerate, more reckless Nightmist since it feels very "reality control"'.

I'm hoping that Omnitron-X keeps at least half of its loadout, mainly because I want to be able to launch an Electro-Pulse Explosive and fire a terraforming beam.

His power is going to be amazing. Both for getting heroes to move quicker (AKA Absolute Zero/Nightmist etc) and to stop potential threats before they have the opportunity to come out (minion heavy decks). 

So who made this video? Christopher said they didn't really plan on continuing the YouTube channel very much. But I thought the video was pretty awesome.

Yeah, the power can combo well with stuff that determines the order of the top cards or that launches a card back to the top of the deck. Very dynamic but I especially want to see those moments where it is unkown, those will be super fun. Everyone loves scratch tickets.

As for powers, yeah, some variation on teraforming (destroy an enviroment, you can play or discard the top card of your deck) would be awesome. Hopefully he has some good support too to play with the "robot with feelings" aspect like "time travel rescue" (destroy to prevent damage to an ally) or "nano medic bots" to heal allies.

Unfortunately, they're going to take a page from Risk: Legacy...

 

If Omnitron-X defeats Omnitron, you need to tear up all Omnitron and Omnitron-X cards you own!

Don't get me wrong. >Games has held claim on at least 30 of my dollars since this was announced. But watching that video and then looking at his card, man, May will not come soon enough. And I thought Chrono-Ranger was going to be the reason I bought this expansion ...

Omnitron-X's power looks OPed at first glance, but I bet in application it's a lot like most other innate powers. You use it for the first few rounds until the hero (or in this case, all the heroes) are set and then move on to using more situational powers. Even its potential against villain or environment decks pales when compared to cards in most other control heroes' decks because it's random without offering options between cards (like Infrared Eyepiece or Visionary's control abilities). Against many villains, putting cards into play or the trash can be equally detrimental. Still, it looks to become one of the more useful innate powers in the game and I can't wait to get Omnitron-X on to my kitchen table.

Question - "Put it into play or into the trash." Is this considered destroying the card? I ask because Wraith's Eyepiece + Omnitron-X's Timeshift could = goodbye Forced Deployment if you can manipulate the deck and put the card into the trash without destroying it. There are probably a couple of combos like that in the game where this wording will be significant.

(Please don't take him seriously - fanaka66 is just kidding, folks! :slightly_smiling_face: )

Putting into the trash is not destroying (or discarding) in the same manner that putting into play is not playing.  The inverse is true, however, that destroying (or discarding) is putting into the trash (just as playing is the same as putting into play).  It's a superset sort of thing.

What if I were to discard one of my two hands?

 

Then you could destroy Toxic Seaweed

I wonder if Omnitron-X has drones in his deck that interact with the Omnitron drone-specific actions... and vice versa. 

Hmm... he's got a red crystal in his head. And he's all blue. And his mission is to stop robots that want to destroy all life. And that font looks oddly familiar.

Oh hey, I love that game!

I'm not seeing a pic, Greonhal.

Its there for me

Ah, am at a customer site, and didn't realize their wireless filtered.  Got on via my phone, and now I see it.  Woot! Go megaman!

 

Edit: Oh, and also YAY!  I don't have to worry about accidentally saying Omnitron-X on the public forums anymore!  My guest designer card from the last kickstarter is one of his, so I've actually known about him for awhile.  Whew, glad other people know now.
