Hi all, I've decided to create a card every week for you all to comment and discuss. Tell me your thoughts on balance, possible combos and what kind of deck you could image the card being a part of! If no one thinks this is fun and I'm the only one bumping these threads then of course I'll stop doing these cards But let's get this going. Here's the first card of the week for you to discuss

No need to pay shadow energy, 5cc + damage is already enough to balance it for me.

Too good for neutral ability. Energy loss is nothing, since you can use your ability then use the card. And health loss for the maximum of 6 isn't that scary (considering allies can do much more).

Aw, I should have read it more carefully, it destroys anything not only allies. Maybe you could edit the first part like "exile target enemy and target friendly card".

Pretty powerful considering you can destroy a lot of fatties by T5 in any MU if you run 4x. Kind of like a focused Supernova, where you can take out allies that will probably deal more damage than their cc. I would use it in my Boris deck definitely.

What about being able to carry only one copy of the card per deck?

I like the idea for a universal remove card, but the probability of it being imbalanced is too high.
I think there is no need to lose all shadow energy, also it can be avoided. 5cc looks too cheap to me, even with the damage, 6cc should work.
Also great art, name and flavor text. Keep it going, it's fun =)

Ill Favor doesn't sound grammatically correct. But the effects seems balance to me.

Strong card, but i agree with dire. It should be a unique card. Afterall, a favor should only be given once in a game lol.

This is a strong card. Considering this is a neutral ability, having 4 copies of these and Mind Control will make elementals pretty scarier especially Zal

Ill Favor doesn't sound grammatically correct. But the effects seems balance to me. Well usually you might be used to hearing the phrase 'Ill Favored' where it is implied that the targeted person is not in one's good books. Ill Favor on the other hand sounds like it should be a Bad Favor, or a Steep Bargain or something. It's up to Bobby if he decides to keep the name, especially if it makes sense overall in context.

It sound similar to "ill gotten gains" but still it depends to Bobby if he still let the name as it is.

This initiative by bobby is great. Makes us think about what heroes is good with this card, combos, etc, it's like how haydes comes up with decks using Bobby's cards.
Keeps us sharp. And it's fun.
Hope this goes on every week. Pupils should join in too.
Maybe a more specific card next week? Joey's card of the week is good too.

I don't think I'd use the card in my decks...after using it I wouldn't have anything on board to show for it, and my hero is down health as a result (likely 5-7)
What card would any hero use this for?...let's here some specific examples (We already heard Zal mentioned, but MC already does the job against allies and I don't see it benefitting him against other things...but maybe could replace LLN in a Zal deck for the flexibility. Also Boris was mentioned, but in Boris, this card would kill you too fast when you are already losing health from BF)
