I feel that it's over-priced...
I rather use brimstone eaters
this should cost 1 , or even free

[EmeraldTiger]

remember i used this for the image. http://www.sxc.hu/photo/297821

Wow:

Problem? 1
Upgrade:
Cost decrease by 1 and effect doubles?

Problem? 2
High HP on a Fire creature? Why so much? Perhaps 6hp or even 4-5 would be more suitable?

Suggestion:
Drop the passive ability and combine it with the active:
" : Shed: Salamander loses 1 hp and generates  "
Give it more Fiery stats:
3/6 | 4/6

Nice theme though.

imo, it doesnt feel right as a fire card. fire is all about high damage and low health. here is a card that by its stats alone, looks like a gravity card. as for the mechanic, i would say meh. Its overshadowed by brimstone eater and it would find much use

[PlayerOa]

Maybe OP with Rage Pot?
I don't know, but sounds like a very good combo.

Updated the card with the suggestions made by Oldtrees, although I gave the upped version +1 higher HP than recommended so it's ability could be used to get more quanta.

This is a nice early game hitter before bringing out dragons. Also great for Fahrenheit. I like it.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Fix the NAME section of the upgraded table so that it matches the image (it should be 'Burning Salamander' instead of 'Flame Salamander')



While I don't disagree with the concept, I feel that Fire already has enough generation mechanics in place; anyway, the HP does go against every Fire creature (none of them can be blocked from Gravity Shield, minus the Red/Fire Nymph), but considering its ability, I can understand how you're attaching the real-life monster to the process.

On another note - what if you drastically increased its ATK, and have it decrease by 1 ATK each time you decided to shed? (That might make it UP though, so forget what I'm saying if it's useless that way. ^^; )

(That might make it UP though, so forget what I'm saying if it's useless that way. ^^; ) That might be an alternative ability if I need to change the card's potential niche, but for now I'll keep the card as it is.

Fixed the error in the table.

Wait, if the skill costs one fire, and it generates 3, the wouldn't it be generate 2 for free? I mean really.
