I don't agree with Kuroaitou. This is not a brilliant idea. The only thing good about this card is the conceptual idea of combining and with a magnifying lens which does not suit a weapon to be in game. The card does not bring any new good strategies to the game.
Actually, I think it adds that extra kick into the Steam Machine decks; there are no weapons within the card sets which are not quanta exhaustive. Also, mono rush Light anyone? Mono Light is pretty slow as of now. Furthermore, why would you advocate poor Crusader's lack of a Light weapon pairing?
I did'nt tell that it would be a useless card at all, only that it is not something new or creative in terms of gameplay. The idea of a magnifying lens invokes a cool mechanic in mind but i felt this like a copy of gavel or long bow. Any card that is a simple copy of other card be useful in game.
Eg : If i make a card like this, can anyone argue it is useless. Although it is just a cheap rip-off of Eclipse, i can say that this card will strengthen
and
combo by providing more hp to
creatures which works well with heal and makes
less fragile. Just because you make a cross-breed version of a card already in game, does'nt mean it would be useless but it will be very boring and does not bring anything new to the game. I lack interest in such cards but others might not as it is a matter of personal opinion.
Anyway, Kuroaitou did'nt saw a mistake in the suggested card, very unusual of him. It says " Deal 1 extra if you have a ", it does not say damage.
Here, is a better stock art that i found while browsing which fits the concept better and looks like weapon art in elements.
