Unhide costs 0 quanta. Unhide replaces Hide when Coral hides a creature, and vice versa. Combined quanta: Add the number of quanta of each element and use that number. SERIES: n/a (I may have to start a "Sea Creatures" series soon to keep track of all my ideas)

I don't think much people are going to use it

I added a poll to see if I should change this card.

Gains 1 HP per 15 combined

What does it means?

Gains 1 HP per 15 combined

What does it means?

The OP may correct me on this, but I think it means that after the end of your turn, you will gain 1 HP for every 15 quanta from the water and earth elements. I assume the skill is passive and counts the quanta from both earth and water pools.

So basically, if you have 8 and 7 , you would gain 1 HP after each turn.

But on to the card, here is my verdict: majorly underpowered and pretty useless. The card's healing ability is pretty weak and makes this card only usable in a mono deck, or duo / deck. Rainbow decks don't have that much quanta laying around for the heal to be useful.

The Hide ability is pretty useful on your own creatures if you are suspecting danger, but pretty underpowered against your opponent. When you think about the currently available creature control cards, this card is pretty dumb. Most CC cards or creatures just kill your enemy, or stall your enemy for several turns, comparing to that this isn't very effective.

EDIT: And why would you even want to make enemy creatures hidden? That would mean you couldn't even target them while they are hidden.

That's my two cents.

The hide ability also halves the damage from the target and prevents the opponent from buffing the creature further unless they brought their own CC, which isn't common in rush decks.

Well that's a valid point, and a good one for sure. Also realized that the hiding prevents creatures like Lava Golem from growing, which is neat.

Guess I'm just concerned of this card's utility versus it's cost in a deck, obviously the card is cheap but is it worth putting in the deck? I would definetly want to see the healing buffed just a little bit.

Of course I'm no expert, just throwing ideas around.

[Drake_XIV]

How would it prevent Lava Golem from growing?  Unless it replaces the ability, wouldn't creatures with Growth still be able to buff themselves?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only one creature can be hidden per coral?

Well I'm not sure if the card works that way, but it would seem logical to me. If you burrow your enemy's creature, it cannot use abilities? Maybe the OP can tell his vision on this.

[Drake_XIV]

Yeah...

Just a suggestion, but building on that, what if the ability replaced the target's ability with Burrow in addition to "hiding" it?  Would the be too OP?
