I like it, somewhat. I'm not crazy about the cumulative part.

But You should include the percentages of then 2-6 of them are out at the same time. Some people might get confused, adding percentages together instead of how it's suppose to be. Otherwise, 120% would be insane XP

[Nepycros]

Interesting. If it were to hit 120%, it's almost like it can create a replica in your deck. Nonetheless, this is a bit much. This and PA is permanent creature reproduction. Suddenly, you'll never deck out, so long as you have creatures to kill, say Spark and whatnot.

[Ajit]

Alright I'm trying to work an alternative to Time's sole ability (as far as I can think right now) to prevent decking out.  The card is overpowered then.  Would reducing the %'s to 10% and 15% be better?

[Nepycros]

Most likely. This would at least leave your fate by deckout up to chance.

[Kamietsu]

This is what I meant about the percentages. Whether it's 20% or 15% doesn't matter. You can't have 100% or more using any number of this card. That's not how percentages work.

1 copy in play: 10%
2 copies in play: 19%
3 copies in play: ~27%
4 copies in play: ~34%
5 copies in play: ~40%
6 copies in play: ~46%

[Ajit]

  actually... I don't get what you are saying Kamietsu.  Please explain why it would be that.  I believe you, I just must be missing something in the math.

**EDIT**

Oh wait, do you mean like 10% of 100 is 90.

So 10% of 90 is 9% (10 + 9 = 19%)

So 10% of 81 is ~ 8% (10 + 9 + 8 = 27%)

etc.

OK so that's not initially what I was meaning.  But anyways so which way is better balanced for the game then, Kamietsu Method (10+9+8+etc) or Simplified (10+10+10+etc)?

[Kamietsu]

I should have said how that is, but it's not my method, it's the mathematical method ^^; A lot of people just add percentages together in things like that. But you figured it out there. I prefer it that way, and put it back up to 15% and 20%. The idea of adding percentages together is how a lot of people would initially assume the card would work, and might complain some, but it's about time people understood percentages >.> XP

Got ya.

Deal.

Changed.

Thanks dear sir.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Fix the TEXT in the table to match the card image (for both cards). It should read:
"When one of your creatures is killed it has a 15% chance of returning to your deck.  Chances are cumulative."
-* You might want to redo the card image's text, since it seems to be slightly bleeding off the top edge...

* = suggestion/optional, but recommended for better card quality


Percentages aside, I don't know about this card returning creatures to one's deck... I feel that it'd be better if they returned to your hand; when I think of a Soft Landing in regards to the previous statement, I imagine someone tossing a person an egg from a distance and catching it with their hands without the egg breaking. A 'Soft/Smooth Landing', so to speak.

Thanks, I would change the text bleed over but I'm short on time, and on the website where I made it it kept doing it for some reason :/

Which program/website did you use? Pixlr? If you need help, there should be an option to help move the 'text' layer down a bit so that it fits all inside the box.

That said, it's good to go.
