NOTES:
Guinea pigs are historically known for being the animals for laboratory experiments/tests.  And they are darn adorable as pets, but they originally came from the Andes mountains.  Phylogenetic analysis suggests that they may be a man-made domesticated species (similar to canines).

Serum Injection is similar to mutate, in that it can cause negative side effects, such as poison, aflatoxin or death.  However, it is probably more likely to cause the addition of adrenaline, momentum, vampire or an increase in attack power, hit points, or both.  There is also a decent chance at causing a mutation.  The exact likelihoods of each potential outcome are impossible to know at this point.

Serum Dose is similar to improve, with the chance to have a negative outcome being infinitesimally small.  It is far more likely to generate one or two of the positive potential effects of the injection.

It is not safe to administer more than one injection or more than one dose for each Guinea Pig, and as such, the ethical standards and practices being observed prohibit the ability from being used more than once per creature.

Already stated in the notes:

The problem was that I couldn't understand what "Only one way to see what could happen." meant :D
If it is a useless comment like in "Magic the Gathering", I recommend you to remove it, and to put some kind of description of the ability...

much like fallen elf/druid, the text doesnt tell you the possibilities.  ("it turns it into a mutant... whats a mutant? -oh, so thats a mutant.")

True, but I mean you put something like "the Guinea Pig will be randomly affected by any spell"-ish
Also state clarely that the effect is for the Pig...
Now that I understand it, I like it ;D

I saw Guinea Pig as thread title. I immediately though "moomoose." :D

But hey, this one's actually kind of nice.

Went ahead and updated the card text.  Less amusing now, but I guess mildly more informative.
