i think the art is great, the cost seems reasonable and well untill i see the ability in game play i can't tell you if it is good. Then again for multiplayer that could get annoying.

So far we've found all the new abilities to add a lot of fun to the game rather than just annoy people. =) But hey, you'll just have to wait and see...

hey don't get me wrong when i say annoying i mean fun to use but not to get hit with and then i might turn around a use it my self. but as it stands i play a kalim/mosfin deck which means i use abilities to annoy other players because it is how you interact with other players and it is how you have fun with the game.

Heh, then Darkmoor might be right up your alley. So far it's been a big hit with testers. I personally really enjoy it with House Mosfin. Such a nasty combination. =)

ANother popular target for me to kill fast. Enough cards like that and you can probably build a deck based around stealing other peoples resources gained from cards sort of like a nullifying deck.

wow if that is how it plays maybe it will be my new secondary faction.

Just remember... Most of the acts are crimes - and the city has built in measures to take care of those who commit them.

Yeah, I sit here sometimes thinking that Darkmoor is WAY too powerful and get all scared we're releasing a game breaker then I remember all the checks and balances we worked on so diligently and calm down. They are definitely a great addition and quite powerful, but I think people will learn quickly how to curb their strengths.

I'll also mention that I've been playing Darkmoor decks quite consistantly for the last few months during playtesting, and they are definitely a balanced faction. A very, very cool faction, yes, but also balanced :)

Just a question about sabotage:
WIll it be an ability you can only use on your opponents structures or is it any structure is returned to it's owners hand.
