Using the power of darkness, this card just chose to bring Precognition to another level. Synergies: Nightmare, Precognition, Mindgate. Prophecy: Before playing the spell, you have N cards and your opponent has M. If N > M, you will Heal (N-M)x2 HP and your opponent will take (N-M)x2 damage when you play the Obscure prophecy. If M > N, the opposite will happen. SERIES: Round 2: Competition: Card Design War #2

However, I think darkness should not have all the nasty tricks. Also the control of the opponent's ability is already in aetheral ability: see lobotomise. Creatures and permanents? No other card targets both creatures and permanents. True but a very small proportion of the creatures and permanents have an actively triggered ability. Said abilities are the real targets of the present spell. Is the upgraded version really better? I suppose it depends of what your opponents has on the field. With the upgraded version you can use all the abilities of your opponent but you'll have to pay for it (it means you'll need the required quanta source to do so). With the unupgraded, you can use only one ability of your opponent but you can use it for free (no need to worry about the quanta sources when you build you deck). Do not forget: that when you activate the ability of creature or permanent, said creature or permanent is still owned by your opponent. It means for example that you cannot draw yourself another card with your opponent hourglass - you'll draw him another card. Also if you use your opponents chrysaora it will still poison yourself. Also if you use your opponent's oty to devour his own ruby dragon, the oty will still get the bonus. In fact, the only thing you can do is control the targets (which is already quite cool).

Round 2 card has been posted!

Restrictions:

• The NAME of either card should not include any color, element, the words ‘Improved/Elite’, or types of gemstone.
• The COST of either card must be half or double the other (4 -> 2 , or 3 -> 6 ). Round up for odd numbers (i.e. – 5 -> 3 , or 4 -> 7 ).
• If the card is a spell, it must either deal damage and/or healing to a creature and/or player.

Curse: Quanta hexing: 2, 3, 4, 5
The combination of that curse with the double cost restriction limited me to a minimum of 6|11 quanta cost.

Rune stones: The picture we have represent foretelling runes. It was not easy IMHO opinion to make creatures out of it. Also my personal cost restriction pushed me to think of a spell.


All feedback is appreciated.
