Thunderstorm | Lightning Storm

Tremendous art, tremendous card! However, I think it deserves a small buff.
Personally, I think this card shoud remove invisibility, like Rain of Fire does. What do you think?

It already does. All AoE spells remove invisibility.

Ahh, I see! It just isn't written on the card. Thanks!

Why did it need the extra 1 point of damage? I am not a big Air fan, so I had no real use for it in the first place, but now I might.

Well, prior to the 1.32 announcement it was needed because even Air fans didn't find a use for it very often.  Afterwards it was needed because Desiccation made it look even more inferior.

However, the cost as it is now really makes RoF seem UP in comparison.

2 damage for 1 quanta is pretty darned cheap, and I could well see this replacing shockwave in some decks.  I do agree thunderstorm needed some sort of change, though, since it was one of the least used cards in the game.  It could probably stand to have a cost increase, now, though, if we stick with the 2 damage thing.  With rain of fire/firestorm at 7 // 5, and fire being more efficient at damage dealing, a 2 damage version should cost slightly more than 2/3 of that, so maybe something like 5 // 4, or 4 // 3?

Earlier, I'd been thinking it would be cool if thunderstorm did something like bonus damage to airborne creatures or water creatures or something like that; maybe it could do 1 damage to all opposing creatures, then +1 to airborne ones and/or +1 again to water ones, depending where Zanz wanted to take the card.

Unupped still removes invisibility, no?

[eaglgenes101]

All it needs for balance now is +1 cost.
