So this little guy is a "free" anti-deckout card with unbelievable synergy with Anubis... I'm pretty sure it's overpowered. I mean, that 3 damage adds up pretty fast when you have more than one in play (which you will).

I dont see it as synergy really, but you can use skills when the creature is quinted which should allow the card to survive for that first turn of vulnerability when it cannot rewind itself.

I don't see the synergy with Anubis. Also, this card rewinds back to your hand, so it doesn't help with anti-deckout at all.
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.

  un upped is not very usefull since most kill spells do at least 3 damage but upped is acually ballanced, maybe make upped the normal and make a beter upped one

Uhhh, what?

Honestly, they seem underpowered.  The upgraded one barely breaks even quantum wise.

I'm assuming you're not allowed to use the ability when your hand is full?
Also, is there a reason you put "regain" instead of "gain"? Just wondering.

well.. I am just thinking of 2 uses for it...

A: One is it pretty much protect you from any small damages, excluding an instant kill.

B: Allow you to "trade" cards, say if you want to switch now to a scarab army or use hourglass or something. 


Let me know if there are other interesting or OP synergy for it.

Rewind: Return this card to your hand and...

I was under the impression that the ability only targets the Pendulum Soldier/Knight that activates it.

Firstly, if this is indeed your art, I loved it, and may have some personal requests of you in the future ;)

Secondly I personally like the card and its ability, however my personal tastes lead me to suggest the following: Change ability names.

Rewind is primarily a spell that we all know. If it is not doing exactly that same effect then I would suggest that you change it to something such as Swing (like the pendulum), Fix (go back in time and fix something), or my last suggestion Time Travel (self-explanatory).

All in all a cool idea actionjack. :)

hmm.. sorry for the confusion... but the ability will only return this card (and not to any target)

I use "regain" since it fits more of the image that you are returning back in time.  Its same as gain.

Can rename the ability to Return I guess....
