Thunderbird | Minor Thunderbird

[Xenocidius]

NAME: Thunderbird ELEMENT: Air COST: 7 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 7|2 TEXT: : Lightning Deal 5 damage to the target.	NAME: Minor Thunderbird ELEMENT: Air COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4|2 TEXT: Electrical: Deal 5 damage to the opponent when killed.

ART: vrt (edited by Xenocidius) IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: Passive ability: Airborne This is another card where the unupgraded version functions much differently to the upgraded. The unupgraded Thunderbird gives powerful creature control/direct damage, while the upgraded Minor Thunderbird gives Air a cheap, rushable creature. It is obviously based heavily on Phoenix|Minor Phoenix, a mythological bird already in Elements. I'm not sure whether Electrical should be an active or passive ability, but I'm thinking active. SERIES: None

Electrical should be a passive ability.  It's an effect of the creature dying, not controllable in any way.

And 5 damage on a stick, even cross element, is too much.

And it's already in the Armory. Just sayin'.

+ Air already has a --lot-- of creature control.

like hyroen said, find a new name

and the ability of the unupped is better than the upped, but honesty it isnt too interesting as it has also already been done: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21665.0.html

I don't really like the unupped version of this card.  It is either a very efficient rusher or a replacement for Eagle's Eye, which doesn't seem like it can be easily balanced without being overpowered.  It's also somewhat unoriginal, in my opinion. 

However, I feel that the upped version is a good idea, a good way to get some retribution when your creature is killed.

Cool, like a phoenix for  .

perhaps it does a thunderstorm effect if it is killed?
making EE and thunderstorm more effective imo
while taking the death effect idea from phoenix is nice here, I don't think you should try and replicate a it's stats
