ART: Ignion IDEA: Ignion NOTES: Avatar: A variant form of an entity. Elemental Avatar Legend:      Endless time has passed since the creatures of opposing elements began the epic war. Some fought for justice; some fought for faith; some fought for peace; some fought to survive. A countless battle after another was fought from dusk till dawn. Million lives have been lost. As the lost souls returned to their respective elemental creator, the elementilord, elementilords shed tears for their lost children. That was when the miracle happened. Their tears were transformed into avatars, embodiments of elementilord's sorrow, love, and magical power. They are also reincarnations of the lost elemental creatures.      Because they were born of the lost souls and elementilords' wish to end the war, they are void of attack powers. Instead, each avatar was born with a unique miraculous power, a miracle that reflects their wish to bring an end to the war and the sufferings.       The Water Avatar thought, "I will stop the war by freezing everyone." Thus was born Absolute Zero, the still power that freezes all.       The legend says that the avatars will only show themselves to those who possess kindness, love, and will to end the war. Will their dream come true? Perhaps it is in your hands now. Thus, the epic battle of Elements continues... SERIES: Avatar Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,19650.0.html)

Gah! 5 turn congeal. I like it though.

[DSSCRA]

Does this cards effect stack?

[YoYoBro]

This card fits the theme and is nice, you could even reduce its cost by one IMHO

[Ignion]

I hear you, doublecross. I hate it when my creature gets frozen! lol

That may be why I was more inclined to increase its cost from 6 to 7 rather than reducing it. I was afraid it might become OP or unbalanced because 2 extra freeze is pretty strong (especially with that water creature, whose name I can't remember, that can freeze), so I wanted to make sure it was more costly. Not to mention the combo with Ice Shield.

But, what do people think? Do I need to change anything here?

[Ekki]

Not THAT powerful, since it won't work without congeal in your deck (2 card combo), so don't worry about it being OP, maybe it's even UP. I say more hp

BTW, I really like the mechanic, it's very creative.

[YoYoBro]

Exactly, I was going to type what Krathos just pointed out. By the way, the creature you mentioned is arctic squid

Thanks, guys!

I see that my own hate for frozen effect clouded my judgment. I'll go ahead and change it to follow the same up pattern with other Avatars. I shouldn't be unfair to this child 

I'd like to hold off on the idea of increasing its HP. I'm getting similar feedback on other Avatars, but I feel that's one of the key features of those cards, so I feel reluctant to change that. Please allow me to get more feedback on this before I make this change.

Just in case anyone is not subscribed to the series thread where I made the general announcement, this avatar is now in crucible. So, if you like this card, please cast your vote 

Thank you
