ART: Thalas (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=562) IDEA: johannhowitzer NOTES: This is the first card I've designed that features community-produced art!  Thanks to Thalas for his quality contribution. X is rounded down if the number of creatures is odd. All creatures count toward the bonus damage, including Malignant Cells and flown weapons, and enemy creatures. Name taken from a weapon in Higher Ground: Path of Ascension, a Neverwinter Nights persistent world.  The weapon is a scimitar-like short blade used by Druids.  It does not seem to have any meaning out in the real world.

This could get really powerful really quickly.

I like it

Dunno about balance though.

[johannhowitzer]

In a reasonable length game, Fahrenheit users can amass around 100 quanta, which converts to +20 damage, that's about the same as this.  Designed to combo with Mitosis and Bond.

[Rutarete]

for those who don't know what Ulundaris is, would you tell us in the notes?
Edit: Add some Flying weapons to this and they'll in trouble

[Hyroen]

The difference between Ulundaris and Farenheit is that the 10 quanta for Farenheit is not also damaging the enemy.

This gets stronger when you summon a creature. 1. Which life can easily do for 2 .

And I thought Fire was destructive...

I thought I saw this idea before but I can't remember the name and can't find it. I think it stayed in the smithy though. I am not saying you were inspired by that previous card. However the comments in that thread would be useful.

Unfortunately this current version pays for itself with just 2 creatures and returns a vitual per creature more than 2.

I would either have it count every N creatures [N=2-4] or have a lower starting attack.

[Seiya]

I think the lower starting attack is better, since it has a high attack to begin with.  It would be strong as a vanilla weapon.

This guy works similar to my skeleton king.  As with that card, you really need a + N/2 or maybe N/3 to really make this balanced.

[johannhowitzer]

Per the note below the table, I could just make this count all creatures on the field (including enemy creatures) at N/2, that would reduce the potential for hyper-rush but also introduce a soft counter to enemy creatures.

[johannhowitzer]

Bumping this for two reasons - first, it has new ART courtesy of Thalas!

Second, does anyone have more input on the balance and/or the idea in the previous post, before I Cruciblify this?

[ZephyrPhantom]

Not really much to say about this card since it's a creature version of Farenheit, but it would be a must have in swarm decks.  Might be a little strong even, possible justifying X/2, lower intial attack, or +1-2 cost.  Just my  .

[Celidion]

Fractal anything cheap + 6x of these in a deck. Seems ridiculously OP to me, but I may just be assuming too much.
