Reversal Shift | Reversal Shift (upgraded)

NAME: Reversal Shift ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Swap the target creature for a creature of the same element in your deck.	NAME: Reversal Shift (upgraded) ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 4 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Swap the target creature for a creature of the same element in your deck.

ART: Original Image by EmeraldTiger, Edited by Flayne. IDEA: Flayne NOTES: Basically, a random creature from your deck that has the same element as the chosen creature substitues that same chosen creature in the same place. Meaning, the original creature is placed in the same place in the deck where the substituting creature was. (opponents creatures can be targeted aswell, more explanation in spoiler.) for example: I target my Abomination which is obviously  . Randomnly, a Purple dragon that i had in my deck is chosen, lets say it was the 20th card in my deck from the top and downwards in the current battle; Purple Dragon literally switches places with Abomination. Now Purple Dragon is in the postion where the Abomination was and the Abomination is now the 20th card in my deck. This was chosen as a spell so it could prevent spamming and limit its uses. A play of pure Luck and probability depending on your deck. Another example: I target the Opponents Black dragon which is obviously  . This is only possible when I have a creature that is of  in my deck. Black dragon is swapped in for a devourer in my deck. The devourer now goes to the position where Black dragon was, meanwhile I have a Black dragon somewhere in my deck now. Yes, i basically just stole a creature. You might say its a bit OP with rainbow decks, since you can basically steal their creatures, remember though, as a spell it can only be used 6 times. but I believe that this card is not too different to Mind Gate. It's just a different variable of the mechanic and only for creatures, swaps the creatures and is of  . So its a weaker mind gate, but with a more altering effect, being the swaping and the choice of the element. However, put into note that its risky using this, because if you had a stronger creature in your deck that was the same element, it may swap in for the chosen enemy creature on the opponents side. same thing with your own creature, you may get yourself in a worse position than you previously were by pulling out a weaker creature. however I believe this wouldn't be very effective when using rainbow decks, why? because if your going to soley base your deck with this effect and a few weak creatures, you're basically depending on 6 creatures to win, and that may certainly be your downfall, because 6 creatures aren't always the solution, remember, the opponent may not even have many strong creatures and perhaps may be using a fractal tactic with RoLs or BLs or Pheonixs etc. (just an example). This depends Solely on Luck, you need to be lucky to get a creature of the same element you were waiting for, that may take ages or may never come. So i believe this card is fairly balanced according to the effect, but I would like to see other people's comments, free to suggestions  . SERIES:

Can it draw out the same card? Like if I have a Steel Golem, can I get another Steel Golem? If not, then Brimstones=Dragons. Yay.

I like it also it is of some concern whether or not it can just pull out the same creature.

[RagingAlien]

I'd think you can, by the description. BTW, i really like the card idea.

Can i use that same image? i'm planning on recoloring it to make an aether card. (Asking for permission's always a nice thing to do. )

Yes, thats the risky part of it when using a deck full of the same creature with some other creatures in it.
theres a chance you'd get the same creature. It all depends on the strategic structure of your deck.

thanks,
though its not my image, this is also part of the ET design competition (in card ideas section)  you'd have to ask EmeraldTiger, but if you are gonna use it, please edit it a bit more drastically than just color, since it could produce discrepancies between two card ideas. Like you could pull off a twirl effect on it or something.

Actually, if you're going to submit it to ET Art competition, do try to keep the image recognizable in some way. I'm fine with two people using the same image if needed. ^^;

but if he isnt that would create a discrepancy in between two card ideas, @an alien, so unless your not submitting to the comp then please do as i suggested.

[RagingAlien]

I'm not adding the result card in the competition, no. But thanks for worrying.

PS: won't do the card yet, will finish the idea i have for a Series with my actual submission first.

@an alien, btw was your avy inspired by mine? just curious
