NOTES:
Designed for time/life synergy, as the reverse deja vu deck is just missing something to make it great.
SERIES:
-
Changes needed: make the card say "5 HP" instead of "5 life"

I like this card. Not game-breaking, but gives life-time a reason to be together.
Deja vu is a skill which would be less out of place in life than an element like darkness or gravity. And these would go well with Empathic Bonds.
I feel that this (upgraded) will make deja vu near useless though, the upgraded deja vu should be given a little boost or else this will dominate.

Well, this is more expensive and it's life.  Should I make the ability cost time?

That would cement the synergy, but then monos would be without.
Maybe the unupgraded version could use time for the ability, and then the upgraded could be 2 life?
But then maybe the upgraded would have to cost less/attack more...

How about you keep the ability and just make the cost of the card 4 (both non and upped), but the ammount of life gained is 3 so that you can't keep using this card over and over again. Yes? No? You could even raise the stats of the card to 2|3.

The point of this card is to use it over and over, by using reverse time.

Even then it would take a long time to do that if the reverse times wern't upgraded or if the Dryad wasn't. Eternity only does it once a turn and is more than reverse so whats the point of this card then? The mix between time and life?

I think this is an interesting card, and that it's not overpowered. However, it seems to be underpowered. Maybe if it did more damage...

Well, if this were used in a mono deck, it's two damage and five life for three, unupgraded.  Upgraded, however, it's four damage, two creatures, and ten healing, for four.
I could probably stand on it's own without using the reverse time duo.  Imagine this plus fractal!

You don't need any time for the upgraded version. It's a cheap 2/2 for 1 and 5 healing a turn. Looks like it could be a little overpowered, but I like it.

Balanced alright.

fractal/FD?

Post by: Kurohami on May 24, 2010, 12:52:55 am
3 quanta for a creature that doesn't pay for itself it's not really that fractal friendly, and a duo won't have enough quanta to abuse it very much. The upgraded version can pull off some pretty powerful combos though.

I think the card should say "Gain 5 HP" instead, because:


Otherwise, good. Looks balanced. :) Upgraded version can be used as buff fodder, too.

Alright.  I'll make mention of that change in the OP.
