None, yet.

Korugar
NOTES:
None.
SERIES:
None.

Here is my main reason for making this card. Nearly all off element abilities, whether they be creature(lobotomize) or weapon(Trident's ability), have an on element version of themselves. The only exceptions are Pulverizer's ability, and the two versions of growth. The way growth is used, it's logical. However, there's really no reason that if earth can do it using gravity, that we can't do ourselves ;)

An alternate possibility for a name is Thunderer. If anyone has other suggestions, though, I'm open for ideas.

Quick fix - it's called "Scorpion".

Sorry for my own double post, but it's ready for viewing, now. What do you think?

It's basically pulverizer on a stick, and correct me if i'm wrong but I thought electric names such as "thunder scorpion" fitted better in either  :air or  :aether.

I suggest giving it an upkeep cost like inundation, so it prevents complete permanent stall at the same time being dependent on your quanta production and being efficient as a PC creature, though this greatly overshadows pulverizer since its better for mono  :gravity rather than duo between  :earth and  :gravity, people would prefer to use this rather than pulverizer, especially if it only has 1 atk difference.

-1 atk for pulverizer on a stick

or

+1 for normal permanent, cost duo   :earth and  :gravity

Since this has 7hp, it is essentially hard to kill as a creature.

I suggest lowering hp to 4-5, so then at least it is more CC-able,
otherwise this just overshadows pulverizer big time.

Remove '(upgraded)' from the title. And a bit high on HP as said before.

OK, well, the name first. The reason "thunder" is in the name, is to try and convey the whole 'the ground shakes when it's near' idea. Nothing to do with the weather. It's not a little critter. It's an armored creature, larger than most big dogs. And it has a tail like a club(except longer). So...if you have an alternative, I'd gladly use it.

As far as an upkeep cost, it seems like all you'd have to do is increase it's ability cost, for the same effect. Plus, it makes more sense in the context.

I'll decrease it's HP if necessary, I suppose, but...it's kind of supposed to be a mini-tank, specialized at smashing things. I'd rather decrease it's attack, or increase it's initial casting cost.

Would you like for me to attempt to modify this art.

How about "Armored Scorpion" and "Diamond Scorpion"? (Think Chargers)

OK, I tried to modify, and instead quoted. And I can't delete.

Mm, that might work. And yes, they are supposed to be like a slow version of Chargers. Honestly, they don't need to be scorpions. It's just the first thing that came to mind.

It would be interesting to have a gravity scorpion though.
