If this creature fails to deal damage to the opponent, it gets stronger, ever so slowly. Also, I believe that with this wording, it would actually grow through antimatter. Unless negative "damage" is still considered damage. IMPORTANT: Skill is NOT passive and is thus lobotomizable. SERIES: None yet

Sundial and the other time effects don't actually cause an unsuccessful attack- they make it so that no attack is actually made at all.
But I think it's a cool idea- any shield it can't  hit psat just makes it stronger. Even sorts out Hope shields, although the time taken to do that means I don't think it's OP.  I like the idea behind it - Everything that stops it just makes it stronger

Ok, so wording is always an issue. We can fix that

I really think this card is OP. By my calculations this card's cost is too low for what it does.
Here they are:

Flame Warrior should cost
7 = 5 attack - 1(HP<4) + 3 (both stats grow) + 1(effect with no cost) - 1[Fire Attack Bonus]

Blazing Swordsman should cost
7 = 6 attack + 3 (both stats grow) + 1(effect with no cost) - 1[Fire Attack Bonus] - 2[Upgraded]

I looked at the same post. I didn't take into account that both stats grow, but I subtracted because I can't physically make this card get stronger, I have to rely on my opponent, or make myself not attack by using sundials. I felt that was worth making it cheaper. Possibly 5/6 cost then, 7 seems way too high

Except this doesn't apply because of situationality - if nothing stops it, it becomes a vanilla creature that fire doesn't need. Granted, I think its starting attack should be 3-4. Maybe even 2, so that it does something against Permafrost and Spine Carapace.

[AeonSiege]

Sorry. I read for each successful attack. I really like the idea, but now I think this card wouldn't be used because of its great situationality. Hope is the only shield that stops Flame Warrior | Blazing Swordsman. And yes I would make it even a 1/3 by 1 .

[~Napalm]

See, i'm trying to make a mid ranged attacker that doesnt cost a ton. And because of its situationality, it might not get used much, but I feel like it would be a good thing to bring to the t50 as ~30 of the decks in it have some sort of stall method.

[AeonSiege]

~30 decks from which i think most uses healing stall most than attack stopping stall.
But looking to its bright you could put sundial in a fire deck with Flame Warrior | Blazing Swordsman and be useful .

[~Napalm]

Yeah lol, I realized that after I posted it too. Firestall with some added oomph

[jmdt]

This is fire's way to fire back against water.  Perm freezes you, you unfreeze and get stronger.  Brilliant.

[~Napalm]

Fire needs a way to get back at water...although parka in a good setup would still waste it xD
