ART:

IDEA:
XYTWO (original idea)
Krathos (current form)
NOTES:
The minimum a creature's stats can be after this is 1|1. A few examples:
Horned Frog would be 1|8
Armagio would be 1|30
This could buff a creature with 0 of a certain stat. Examples:
Otyugh 1|8
Dune Scorpion 1|6

Dune Scorpion 1|1
Spark 1|1

nice card, but find this bit weird :s  good to have thought through what happens to creatures with a 0 stat, but still find it strange, although I don't have a solution/alternative....

It should cost less.
Lightning does 5damage and even kills at cost of 2 aether.
I like the double use of the card but momentum is still better in buffing.
Cool art anyway 8)

Nice Art!
You should probably lower the cost though, since it doesn't actually kill the creature.

This can be worse, since it actually keeps the creature alive. You would have a 1|1 critter instead of an empty slot. Thus, with a shield (now in "other"), you could make it an unuseful slot...

Still UP, any actually powerful use, and Gravity's shield actually benefits from high hp...

GOTTA IDEA! What if this lowered atk and upped hp? Super synergy with grav-shield, and armagios too :D

Or you could maintain your idea and low the cost to... 4/3 :gravity?

...holy cow you're awesome. This is an epic idea. :D -5|+5 seems balanced with the current cost to me.

Just a side note: on the 1|1 Dune Scorp thing, it's not really meant for buffing. It's really just kind of something that ends up happening with how the card works.

Always glad to help improving any idea, specially if it helps Gravity :D

Dune scorp already gets the buff from momentum anyways, so the combo isn't OP by any means.
