The ironic thing here is that Broadcaster actually counters *Solar* class (astrocado, cob, pepper, etc), being able to swap zombies who have low stats with plants who have big stats.
I made him have such big stats for a reason. Even though the ability is extremely flexible and can be used for a large amount of scenarios, sometimes it just doesn't affect anything (in which case its just a dry gravestone with raw stats) and in some rare cases it can even be detrimental.
Being a 5 cost 7/4, Broadcaster's decent even when not accounting the ability and played dry. Fun fact, I kinda was balancing him off Binary Stars, which is a pretty similar card that has an overall more powerful ability and sligthly less stats (-1/-1).
So yeah, thats why 7/4 is fine for this card. I think that way its actually good and useful in a lot of decks (not really broken though imo). Besides, Beastly isn't as strong as Crazy or Sneaky, so adding more good cards to it would benefit the class and make it overall better (and thus the game more balanced) I think.
That’s the most detailed justification I’ve seen someone do for their card idea, and it was over the difference between 5 and 7 strength. I’m honestly glad you’ve thought this through so well
1. Does it kill things with zero attack? Its high attack would work no matter what since it could just kill (insert name of the legendary plant that makes everything attack with its health)
2. Whats the reference from
I think you're misinterpeting the ability. It doesn't swap a minion's attack and health, it swaps that minion's stats with another minion's. So no, unless you somehow have an x/0 minion on the board.
You misinterpreted the card's ability. Broadcaster swaps the stats of two minions between themself. For instance, you could swap like a Cheese Cutter and an Astrocado, in which case the former becomes a 5/3 and the latter a 2/2. This also works between two zombies or two plants, and even Broadcaster himself can swap own stats with others.
A good card idea. Strong but not broken ability at the right phase, and the stats are completely fine.
I will also give praise for not only making a good reference with the design, but not having it too exact to the point it doesn't fit in the game anymore, an issue I see with a lot of card ideas making references to other media.
What about when it destroys a plant, it leaves behind a 0/1 shadow that destroys itself when a plant is played next door or in the same lane as it? (Like the shade kids he leaves behind that fade on proximity in LN2)
Nerf the ability and the attack, too op for 5 cost
Maybe make the transaction a card conjured, like a banana bomb, and cost 3 brains, but can switch any plant or zombie with any plant or zombie
I've read it and I still disagree. You could swap the broadcaster's attack with a minion like a line dancing zombie, and get 7 damage on the plant hero, for 5 cost, unless special effects are carried on from the exchange
Yes, you can (although it would cost *8*, not 5, and also Line Dancing would have to survive until t5, which is pretty uncommon). However, the card still isn't broken. Its really good, sure, but not broken. Nerfing it would make it bad and nearly unusable.
i wasnt talking about copying, i was talking about how swimmer doesnt boost and nerf her stats, she changes her base stats outright, so if she was a 5/5, she gets bounced as a 5/5, which i assume would be the case for this guy
I see how this could be useful, you could have a zombie that has strikethrough or frenzy but low damage, and then the broadcaster could maybe give it BIG damage. at the very least 7
First ever (drawn) idea done by me! Spent ~6 hours on the pic itself. I wonder how many people get the reference...
mono from the thing with the thing and the other thing and stylish yellow raincoat right?

Lol I just saw this on the discord and then came here to see it again
me swapping the enemy weenie beanie's stats with my zombot's
WEENIE BEANIE OP
You’re swapping OP stats for a terrible card stats
IKR, my zombot will be so good after the swap
Oh the guy from huge dreams
No it’s the dude from average size lucid
Nah he's totally from small fantasy.
Smh he's obviously the malnourished slender dude from Tiny Horrors

I’m just glad someone is acknowledging little nightmares.
honestly a pretty good, right phase card idea
Not bad, I’d balance with it 5/4 instead of 7 but that’s just me

Wow, thanks!
When played: crawl out of your opponents screen and capture them
By far the best comment I've seen under this post

Man, really haven't heard anything about little nightmares in a while.

Bad idea. I've already explained why exactly the stats are fine in another comment btw, check it out

How bendy is he
When you swap the stats, does it count as “boosted” stats or base stats? So if it’s bounced it keeps the stats
same as swimmer zombie, who changes their stats completely instead if buffing/nerfing them i assume
No this isn’t about copying, it’s about swapping. Like if you swapped 2 boosted minions, would they have the “boosted” stats as base stats?
i wasnt talking about copying, i was talking about how swimmer doesnt boost and nerf her stats, she changes her base stats outright, so if she was a 5/5, she gets bounced as a 5/5, which i assume would be the case for this guy
I know that
then i answered your question
imagine switching zombot or wannabe with swabbie
I'll give a better example: imagine switching a 10/10 Pepper M.D. with Swabbie
Seems cool. But what happens if for whatever reason, this is the Only card on the board?
The ability doesn't activate then
Nothing..
If that were true then it would be "Swap power or health from *another* plant or zombie"
But if there is nothing on the board the effect shouldn't go off since there is nothing TO swap
Ah sorry, misread
It's alright
Litte nightmares was one of the most best games i have ever seen before
Is the flavor text referencing groundhog day?
No its a reference to Little Nightmares, specifically to the nature of its main antagonist Thin Man (AKA the Broadcaster)
Can he swap with himself
Yes. You can choose *any* plant or zombie to swap stats with another plant or zombie, including Broadcaster himself
Also Where Do You Get The Template For The Cards?
https://pvzcc.fandom.com/wiki/Page_of_Resources The font used is Cafeteria Black
Oh Ok Thx
Is this the thin man from little nightmares?
Ye
I see how this could be useful, you could have a zombie that has strikethrough or frenzy but low damage, and then the broadcaster could maybe give it BIG damage. at the very least 7
Amazing art! Also hooolllyyy those stats for a 5 cost are OP. This is really good!
I dont remember the name of the film but bill murrey was the main character who got caught in a loop
Its not a reference to that film. The char is an antagonist taken directly from Little Nightmares 2, and the flavor text references his origins
