ART: IDEA: Uppercut NOTES: SERIES:

They're more than just a little slow.

dude that's so... distasteful?

Alternate Names for this mechanically neat idea:
Necrotic Urn
Bone Collector

Alternate Skill Names:
Corpse Craft
Bone Golem

Based Upon Boneyard perhaps 3 |2 is more balanced?

Alternative idea: Have the skill not require the sacrifice of the permanent but have it cost more. Maybe each activation reduces the Death counters by half (round down)?

While I like the idea, the card and ability name ought to be changed.
"Retardead" sounds similar to "Retarded" which developed into slang for "Mentally Handicapped" (to be politically correct)

Whilst I have no problem with this word, as it has been deprecated and disregarded by the scientific community, some other people will. The ability name also could use some changing, as it further allows readers to infer that you are saying something inappropriate (pardon my vagueness)

At first I thought maybe its like a one-shot big Boneyard too, but its actually more like a slower really hard to deal with Vulture.

Probably. My sense of humor is apparently not meant for EtG.

It's not a matter of your sense of humor, if I may clarify, but more the matter of how you apply it. I assure you I have nothing against your sense of humor, but the problem lies in that somebody might have a problem with it. Things like "retartdead" and "the deader the better" are things you can say in a casual conversation with a friend that knows you, and your sense of humor, however, it's not something you can simply throw around on an internet forum like it's nobody's business (Not to come across as harsh or anything). Some people could take offense to such statements.

It's not humorous.

[Uppercut]

As much as I appreciate feedback on the card I really don't care if you find something humorous or not, and that isn't really the point of the thread. Discuss the card or find some other thread to cry about my posts in.

People would me more likely to comment on the effect if the name were changed. (suggestions posted above.)
