Yabapmatt: The Chief Summoner of Splinter Brigade

Element Choice:

The choice of the summoner being a dual element card that can use Death and Life units follows the fact that such summoner was still not present among the Rebellion summoners and that Zyriel, the first dual-element card to be released is a Death and Life Splinter.

Mana Cost:

Now, for the mana cost, I choose it to have 4 mana which could also translates for "man of the people" since he can be used even during Little League.

Global Stats:

Giving -1 speed on enemy units was based on the traits of Death summoner to give negative stats on the opponent like Cryptmancer and Mimosa Nighshade while Life summoners are known for increasing the life or defense of the his team like the Peakrider and Mother Khala hence, the +1 in armor. And for the global ability, I have decided to give it a new ability which I call Assurance which removes the RNG factor on Stun, Affliction, Poison, Retaliate and Mimic.

Assurance
	Upon successful attack Stun Affliction, Poison, Retaliate and Mimic was guaranteed to be activated.

Summoner Tactics:

Option 1:

For the summoner tactics, I also included a new ability which I called Ricochet which is like a weaker version of Blast for it only hits 1 adjacent unit. But when used together with a unit with Blast ability or during Explosive Weaponry ruleset, this becomes more powerful as it can now hit up to 4 units. On the other hand, Void was there to reduce the damage against magic attacks.

Void
	Attack damage gets halved (rounded up), except attack 1 which deals 0 damage.
Ricochet
	Inflicts 1/2 of the attacker's damage one adjacent unit of the target. When there are multiple adjacent units, the units that receives damage becomes random.

Option 2:

For the choice of the 2^nd tactic, I just find it that adding Corrupted Healing makes perfect sense being it a Life and Death summoner as while it heals all units that receives damage it also reduces their max health each time that they are healed. While on it, I also included Cleanse Rearguard so it can remove any negative status effects on my backline units.

Corrupted Healing
	Each round, restore 1/3 of max health to allied units, rounded down. Each time a unit is healed, its max health is reduced by 1.
Cleanse Rearguard
	Cleanses the last allied backline unit with a magic debuff.

For the summoner tactics, I also included a new ability which I called Ricochet which is like a weaker version of Blast for it only hits 1 adjacent unit. But when used together with a unit with Blast ability or during Explosive Weaponry ruleset, this becomes more powerful as it can now hit up to 4 units.

Conditional Abilities:

This are abilities that would only activate upon clearing certain conditions like if we got Spells from land or by having the required monsters in the lineup.

Runicore
	Gives True Strike ability to the first position unit when Runi is part of the lineup.
Quake
	When there are 4 or more Flying units in the lineup, only the opponent team will be subjected to the earthquake ruleset.
+2 Mana	Using Spells from Land, you can increase the mana cap of your team, similar on Guild Brawls.

Behind Process

Closing

And that was it for my summoner concept for @yabapmatt. I am not the best of giving names on abilities but I tried to make its abilities not so op to keep the game balance and also to make it a "chase card" that will make people want to buy it if it ever comes implemented. I guess it will be up to theycallmetim to have a look on it and make finer adjustments.

And that was it for my post. Thanks for reading and see you at the next post.
