NOTES:
This has probably been done before but I liked the idea so here it is again.

Basically, a growth creature with no cost but slower growth. It would grow at least twice per turn through both yours and your opponents draws. If ATK and HP are equal, it is chosen at random. For SoBra, it would only grow once, no matter how many cards are drawn.

All questions and constructive criticism welcome.

Haha, I foresee nice combos with SoBres  ;D And please tell me, does it also apply to SoSes? Very interesting idea :) Following.

I like it, good idea. Seems fairly balanced too.

I would vote no. Simply because SoSe "adds" cards to your hand as opposed to drawing them. For drawing cards, it would be hourglasses, precogs, sundials and SoBra. I think that's all.

The draw mechanic might be good, but maybe make the effect activate anytime a deck size is modified so that rewinds would also boost this creatures stats (because rewind is as much time as fast forwarding your draw.

Makes sense to me... although if it did trigger when a card is added to a player's hand, then it would also combo nicely with mindgate... Unfortunately, it might also end up OP with fractal and nightmare if that were the case.

I can see pros and cons for either way though.

In any event I would love to see this card put in. It fits perfectly in the time element since it helps highlight the card draw theme.

The problem with changing the mechanic to adding is that it makes a lot more synergies, in mindgates, SoSers and Fractals, among others. Plus I don't feel like it thematically fits. If the community demands I can put up a poll to see the favoured option.

As for rewinding, wouldn't that technically makes this shrink? The idea a creature that would get bigger over time, and rewinding is turning back time... I'm not really sure (not to say it isn't a good suggestion).

Since people seem to be liking this idea, I'll work on finding/ making some art for it and getting it into voting.

Also, +1 Yay for the return of timetock

If you make it grow off of adding cards to hand, but keep the same restriction as on SoBra (only get 1 growth per fractal/SoSe no matter how many cards are added) then it should still be balanced, and it would be better because the synergies would be less narrow, and it would open it up to more elements.
