NOTES:
work as standalone card? - yes, creature spam decks will love it.
buff for flooding if in your deck? - yes, helps stop your opponent getting the buff, espec if you have water creatures.
buff for flooding if in opponent's deck? - yes, helps them stop your creature spam bonus.

deck example without flooding, add it to RoL/Hope decks

I like the idea, to increase creature spam and boommmm flooding.
However, the absorb light part seems uneccesary to me.
Just my opinion.  Great idea. :D
And I like the art. ;P

I don't think the name fits the effect.  Why doesn't this card affect the middle row?  Since this card is called "Strength in Numbers," I think it should give an attack boost based on the number of creatures you have out. Just my :electrum

This won't make Flooding more used. This will make Water less used altogether. This card is so epic, people would RATHER use this than Flooding.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

perhaps, what about +1|+0? tricky :s

basically it's an imitation of flooding in some ways, in terms of cost, area effected and absorbing  :light each turn. (that's the main reason for the absorb part, but also nice synergy with solar shield.

just realised I forgot to answer this:
Imagine a gang/group of protesters say, those around the edges/back feel stronger due to the 'strength in numbers' kinda effect. Those in the front row (i.e. first to start marching/whatever) don't really feel the bonus as they get into contact first with opposition/whatever.
In EtG that 'front row' of creatures, are actually played into the middle of the field, those attack first etc, so they don't get the bonus, only those behind/around etc.

does that make sense?
