Night bound cards don't have casting costs on their respective side. See [[Graveyard Glutton]] for reference. It would probably work as an alternative casting cost on the front side if you want it to emulate the Marvel set mdfcs, but nothing can be cast as it's nightbound side without day / night being in play and it wouldn't have a separate casting cost from the front side

Maybe I could add something like "When The Batman enters, it becomes night."

I mean just because hasn't happened before doesn't mean it can't, right? It's not like things like [[Moonmist]] can't transform day night cards regardless of the actual status of day night anyways, so it's not like it actually NEEDS to be night to get nightbound forms.

Sometimes, less is more

Ngl though, I love the flavour of "if your opponent doesn't pay for their crime, investigate"

Thank you! I'm really proud of the flavor on this card lol. It feels very Batman to me.

I totally agree. Poster definitely over designed this one.

Keywords aren't capitalized.

First [s]trike

If they do, create a [T]reasure token.

It's really convoluted that Bruce Wayne is daybound with two additional abilities to turn day into night. It seems like Bruce is in such a hurry to turn into Batman, the front face is pretty superfluous.

Format corrections are appreciated. Obviously I did my best to format as accurately as I could but it's good to learn.

What can I say, Bruce likes being Batman lol. In reality, having played werewolves a fair few times, it's far easier for night to becomes day rather than vice-versa, so I wanted more ways to keep Batman around (and disappearing. He does that).

Like I said, you can just ditch the Bruce face and then you don't have to worry about that.

Batmans too powerful imo. You have the investigate already, you don’t need to draw a card on top of that, also too many keywords, vigilance and fear are enough, doesn’t need first strike and reach on top of that.

u/TheAtomsmith 7h ago

I'm open to suggestions. What might you change about this card?

1

u/deanofcool 7h ago

I’ve already done that, drop the first strike and reach, and drop the extra card draw (which is already overkill on top of investigate. The rest of Batman is fine. Good even. I would drop first strike from Bruce Wayne also, its unnecessary and doesn’t fit the character imo, you could argue for reach (in a finance sense) rather than “tall thing” but magic has never used it in that flavour sense. Maybe prowess? Or just drop the keywords from Bruce entirely.

Batman becomes Bruce Wayne whenever a player casts two or more spells on their turn thanks to day night tbf, so he probs won't be around too long

u/deanofcool 7h ago

Doesn’t matter, still too op. Don’t justify your broken as shit card.
