NAME: Skulls of Chaos ELEMENT: Death COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Generate each round.   Confuse: Sacrifice this card and cast random Alchemy on target creature.

ART: EmeraldTiger modified icons. IDEA: EmeraldTiger & OldTrees NOTES: Confuse will effect target creature with the effect of a random Alchemy spell. Spells are selected from: Quintessence Liquid Shadow Basilisk Blood Antimatter Rage Potion Adrenaline and Luciferin If a creature with a skill is targeted with the Luciferin effect then the quanta cost is still paid, the Skulls of Chaos is destroyed but the Luciferin effect will be wasted. SERIES: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17159.0.htmll

The idea behind this series is permanents that generate the quanta of the element it came from. Also they have a 1 time use ability of a different element. When ability is used card is destroyed.

[OldTrees]

Both  and  would be balanced with lower Activation Costs.

Here are some baseline ideas for the remaining cards.

 
Body?|Corpse?
Generate
4|3 [Upgraded Pandemonium] (probably should make a new mechanic instead)

 
Electrical Buildup
Generate
3|2 2xThunderstorm (A good starting point but not interesting enough for a final effect)
or
2|1 Thunderstorm

 
Sands of time
Generate
4|3 burrow all creatures
or
2|1 burrow target creature (I like this one. Hostile burrowing or duo version of quint.)

[EmeraldTiger]

I like the ability here http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7194.0.html grant it to a creature

[OldTrees]

That ability is perfect for  . However it probably should cost 2|2 5|4 .

[EmeraldTiger]

I will do updates tomorrow when i have more time.

[EmeraldTiger]

the next one has been added

[Nepycros]

Sand Dune | Sand Mountain
Produce each round
Shift: Target creature is burrowed. Destroy Sand Dune when activated

[EmeraldTiger]

Who made that one! very cool, I assume it was some sort of fractal filter?

Anyways, I see a lot of talk about which element should go with which, I was just wondering, what was the methodology in deciding which two elements should go together.

[EmeraldTiger]

http://www.sxc.hu is where i got the sand background. then i used http://pixlr.com/editor/ with different tool that it has. then i layered the icons on top of the sand image.


I started with water and light, then i decided to expand this concept to the other elements.
OldTrees and I thought it would good to go with first the opposites of the first idea.
OldTrees recommended the other combinations.

[OldTrees]

I think the 3rd picture is the best of the set. For the card. My second pick would be the 2nd picture as a more realistic version.

The methodology was start with a combination [ -> ]
Add the pair [ -> ]
Note that this is 2 combos from [ ]->[ ]
Decide to minimize the cards to 6 by having 2 cards for each combination of the 3 sets [ ], [ ] and [ ]

In hindsight alternating the direction [ -> ] would have been better but no ideas came to mind.

[EmeraldTiger]

OT, which one, what #'s, and which background image

Also, what should the ability be called?
