What's with the 3 quanta break off? any reason, also do you think these should belong in a specific spot like weapons and shields and nightfall be darkness's version.

Also next to ATK|HP you should keep it blank rather than putting none.

CURATOR COMMENT
-You forgot the ':time' icon for the upgraded card's Cost section in the table (add it in)
-Leave the ATK|HP section of the table blank if the card is not a creature
-Your art is 'questionable', but perhaps acceptable...



Compared to other 'environmental' effects, Desert doesn't seem to provide any logic in terms of its mechanic. Suppose you were to play an Arctic Squid in a water-time duo - how would playing Desert (a Time card) actually improve an Arctic Squid's health pool (a Water card)? It makes sense for Time creatures, but for anything else, it might not (especially creatures that wouldn't want to live in a desert per se...).

Would this affect burrowed creatures? Immortalized ones?

The text should also say "your" not "you".

The three quanta is so that sparks and ball lightnings won't gain this privilege.

Thanks for pointing it out. Sorry if I keep on spamming with these quotes.

Yes but just making it one quanta would also ensure that, also just reply to all in one post rather than spamming three replies.

Why time for desert? I can understand earth or fire, but not time. And fire would be problematic I think, fires dragons etc have nerfed HP to compensate for increased attack. So earth type I think if this were adopted.

Maybe it could be giant wall, rather then "desert", the idea being that this huge wall protects all your creatures.

Time is based around ancient egypt and when most people think of ancient egyptians they'll think of them in the desert.

If you're meaning by the time desert thing. Basically, don't you realize the creatures? Anubis, Pharoah, Scarab. Also, think about the Egyptian life as reincarnation after THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS! clearly it is time.
