I hate to argure

I completely disagree aether being technological and suitable for this card.
It should most probably remain as  because even though aether has the ability to fractal creatures and such, it still does not have a technological aspect to it.

i feel that the Aether element is based off of the idea that the cards are the equivalent of what we do, make technology to do what is done naturally in nature ie. fractal is basically a advanced form of mitosis.

however elite chargers seem more like vehicles rather than creatures if you take a close look at the artwork.
also, catapults.
also, Chimeras, Chimeras are NOT a product of nature, they are artificial creations.

So are steam machines, voodoo dolls, and the hourglass (which is time so not really a valid point)
so to me not much of an argument.

Ever think why the firemaster is a fire master? Hes holding a flame throwing spear! 
Acceleration isn't exactly achieved by normal and natural means, it seems more mechanical imo. (acceleration of a vehicle, or rocket like object).
also, the fact that gravity seems to be the metagame holder of "momentum" mechanics, since this is technically a variation of momentum which is more for particular shields such as fog, mantle, etc, it suits gravity more,
However,
gravity has momentum spell, why not just simply give this momentum?
Otherwise in that case, i  m¡ght recommend changing the element to  since it has owls eye which is a range weapon, since sniping is more of a range aspect of attacking,  would be a suitable element for it, however there is burrow to consider which is not a metagame mechanic for  , neither is it for  .
Which means the only 2 candidates are,  or  in metagame aspect.

i do agree in the fact that this should be an darkness card

ART: Tyler E. ( my 8 year old brother) no link other than image play links IDEA: Grifbot NOTES: one of many ideas this is the one i finished first and the only one that will be posted this week basis is that in real life its somewhat of a 'parasite' but a good one one that removes harmful bacteria from the skin of another fish (reason for removing poison) SERIES: NA

 IMHO i figure that the aether element would suit this more based on the fact that aether cards remind me of advanced technology and since elements is a 'fantasy' card game an actual sniper wouldn't make sense

if you want to keep it the same though change it to Graviton Archer also change its passive ability name to Precision.
keep the burrow or change it to 'Dig In' or 'Cover'
 It is a good card idea. as far as i know there are no cards that do this so this would be a great addition

« on: May 19, 2011, 09:47:33 pm »

TYPE- Spell

ABILITIES/EFFECT- target's abilities are now Discharge and Charge

 Discharge (active) sacrifices its attack to unleash a thunderstorm
 Charge (passive) Gains 1|0 until original attack has been reached

Design Theory / specter/phantom not full idea

« on: May 17, 2011, 09:04:34 pm »

NAME- Specter UP- Phantom

ELEMENT- Darkness
 
TYPE- Creature

ABILITIES?- (one of these three)
Vanish- (Active) Creature cannot attack nor be targeted during next turn

Illusion/Mirage- (Passive) comes into play disguised as another card of the players mark (ends after opponents next turn)

Possession- (Active) takes control of a creature for three turns (takes abilties plus making it attack its owner)

i have no numbers for the costs and attack/hp this is just me spitting ideas out

sorry if hard to read copied and pasted out of txt document
please notify if this is in the wrong section
thanks
