:earth : Add balance status to a target creature, which adds
+2|+1 per balanced enemy and +0|+2 per balanced ally.

ART:
Original artwork from sxc.hu: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/164410

Modified by OdinVanguard using GIMP
IDEA:
OdinVanguard
NOTES:
"Today is a good day to remain firmly grounded"

"Gather like minded comrades and unite them against a common enemy their presence will strengthen your resolve. But, be wary, your enemy may be doing the same."




Essentially, its a buff on a stick. The buff's potency will grow the more it is used, so it can ramp up very quickly after a few applications. This is balanced by the fact that enemies with the same buff will also benefit as you spread the buff to your allies… and vice versa.

In counting "allies with balance" the target is itself counted

An example:
You have 2 wardens, and your opponent has 2 pharaohs.
You put this buff on your 2 wardens first (using their ability to lock down the pharaos).
-1st application: +0|+2
-2nd: 2 wardens with +0|+4 each
Next you place the buff on each of the 2 pharaos:
-1st application: 2 wardens with +2|+5 each and 1 pharaoh with +4|+4
---wardens deal 2 damage to each pharaoh this turn
-2nd application: 2 wardens with +4|+6 each and 2 pharaohs with +4|+6
---wardens deal 4 damage to each pharaoh this turn (leaving the pharaohs with the hp they started with)

To show this balance effect, the :earth symbol could be used.

:D ... just be careful when using to buff attack power, since the enemy will be recieving the same benefit... unless you Stun their creature :)

I like this card a lot, excellent thematically with :earth. One quick note: the card's title reads "Tomb of Symmetry", and the card name is "Tome of Symmetry". I'm guessing you're going for the second one :)

Seems to only work with stalling, and only with creatures that can give out some sort of stall. :| not very versatile imo.

hmm... I definitely did intend it to help with stalling strategies. As long as you can keep at least 1 enemy creature stunned, it should be useful though...

Also, it is an HP buff on a stick... could work nicely with sparks and phase scavs right?... Could also be amusing with scarabs and / or catapult

If this seems to limited though, any ideas of something that would help?
