Well, looking at the uproar caused by dune scorp, I'm gonna have to say no.

Is the last of the 3 ideas I had and the one I like most. I've been thinking for a long about this card and I think I finally got something cool.
As we still don't have the discard ability, I don't know if it's OP or not. But I hope you'll like to play that card if it even comes to life.

Waiting your comments...

People got really angry at the discard mechanic, so it  was changed.

Have to agree, the hand is a sacred place thus far in Elements and, for now, I'd like to see it kept that way.

It's hard to give face to text, I don't mean to come off harsh, but I feel its important to be as unvague as possible when posting while keeping posts succinct. I like the attempt to blend Darkness with Time, but hand disruption is a taboo card mechanic at the moment in Elements. Maybe explore other ideas in and around dark/time?

thats another taboo, no cards that kill creatures without taking their hitpoints into account, unless it is a combination of cards (freeze/shockwave)

That could still work though. "Target creature dies in X turns where X is the HP of the creature divided by Y"  Just sayin..
