but it doesn't hurt it, just re-sizes it XDYup, in the same way a rage-potion resizes it. Rage potion is not supposed to deal damage, but it still triggers voodoo.
The upped version of this card has the exact same effect (1 dmg/draw) but just with 2 atk. To me the attack isn't even a boost to the usefulness of this card seeing as it just makes Will-o-the-night vulnerable to CC shields, which you're going to need to face in pretty much every stall deck.As said in earlier posts, I agree that the card is currently not worth being upgraded, and should rather have atk and 2 dmg per card drawn. I said "unupgraded version is good" and you answered "No! Upgraded version is bad!"
Sort of like the Chrysaora-Physalia situation except even worse because speed poison is actually a rush deck where those little bits of 2 damage can actually be the difference between a successful rush and getting shut out... So if this card is meant to be a counter for stall decks that utilizes HG as you argued, then the 2 bits of damage is actually a liability.
.Yay an original idea (for Elements). I enjoy the whole concept of having a malicious spirit sort of thing haunting the elemental so whenever he or she 'thinks' (draws a card) suffers (headache)?Wrong. Stall decks often runs Electrum Hourglasses, making this much more effective than what you said. And comparing the unupgraded version of this card with SoG (which is mandatory upgraded) isn't very fair. Just compare it with Déjà Vu. Pros: Will-o'-the-Wisp has 2hp, it's damage ignores shield and is increased if opponent draws multiple cards. Cons: Wil-o'-the-Wisp is duo.
However, looking at another card in the metagame SoG makes me wonder whether you need to give this card more power. I mean, just having one SoG out essentially negates the effect of 5 of these bad boys... and given the deja vu ability only spits once, you need to use 3 consecutive draws and play 3 cards + pay 6+ 3
just to keep up with one SoG which costs 3
. That effectively gives your opponent an advantage both in terms of cards and quanta expended. Not to mention this is a creature and there are more CC then PC.
Dual buckler + Gravity Shield + Glass = Auto win. Not saying that's a bad thing. Just saying it's the truth.What about Crimson Dragon, Phase Recluse, Overdrive, Momentum, Charger, Chimera, Deflagration, Steal, Pulverizer, damage-dealing spells...? Not exactly what I call an auto-win.
Thanks for the suggestion. And please forget the stupid statement I made above.The number of unupgraded cards I own is not relevant because I could buy 6 of each if I decided to. I just do not want to spend half an hour counting them.Typing ALL would certainly make it easier for generals. Since you have all unupgraded cards if needed... right?

| Why I would make a good War team member |
| I have been playing Elements for a long time, and other card games (mainly Magic:TG) for even longer. I usually spend more time deckbuilding than actually playing :p. I would really love having a place as a Deckbuilder or Strategist, and would put my best into it. |
So obviously Cost must include some factor other than casting cost. In addition there is a card that refunds the draw (precognition). This is why I think that Cost=Casting Cost + some constant which I think is Draw Cost.While I definitely agree that Total Cost = Casting Cost + Draw Cost, I also think that the base value of having a creature in play (cremation/mutation/bond fodder) equals the draw cost.
But back on the topic of Draw cost:Remember that we are rounding the result at the end. As weird as it may sound, we can have PxR=0 while P≠0 and R≠0. Ball Lightning has 3 attack and 0.2 resilience (rough guess at the resilience of a 0hp creature). Photon has 1 attack and 0.67 resilience. In both cases, PxR rounds to 0.
Obviously C=PxR does not explain a 0 cost. If there were a 0 cost then either P or R would have to be 0 which would make a useless card like relic.
