ART: EmeraldTiger IDEA: Rutarete NOTES: I originally was going to name this Devious Bunny, because i thought 'bunnys are shy, but a devious bunny could fool them all!' OK, here's the new proposition for the stages of shyness: 1. 1/1 if you control 5 or less creatures. 2. 4/4 if you control 11 or less creatures. 3. 7/7 if you control 16 or less creatures. 4. 10/10 if you have more than 16 creatures. This card, even if put into a specific element, would have lots of opportunities to synergize with other elements. It goes well with rainbows, spawners (FFQ, pharoah), mitosis, and more. This is for the Card Design Challenge: Passive Abilities Challenge is over. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25540.0.html Edit: Made it so the ability doesn't work for other Emerging Beasts SERIES:

If 6|6 were 7|7 then it would be +3|+3.

[Nepycros]

So, if the mechanic were smoothed out, it would average that: Every 4 Emerging Beasts is a Blessing on each one. So, summoning 4 gets you +12|+12 each time, to a maximum of +120|+120 for 13 cards (total sum of stats among all the creatures). I'm worried since 2 Fractals become insta-kill. 1 Nova is deadly enough.

[OldTrees]

I suggest +2|+2 per 6 creatures
0-5 1|1 (decent for an Other creature)
6-11 3|3 (Horned Frog [2 ] for 2 )
12-17 5|5 (Abomination [5 ] for 2 )
18-23 7|7 (Vanilla Archangel [6 ] for 2 )

I almost wan this to be a Life creature with a casting cost of 1 .

What are the advantages of having an even +2/+2 rate over an uneven rate? (+2/+2, next +3/+3, next +2/+2, random etc.)
This would fit in life well enough, but with your suggested growth stages, and the cost of 1 would probably undermine horned frog. For with one fractal of this, i'd have more frogs for less life quanta.
And whether there is an even growth rate or not, i feel it should end up a bit higher than 7/7. Could be just me, but i feel the above suggestions would be a bit UP

7|7 for 2 is not UP.
You are used to growth that you paid an activation cost for. This has no activation cost and does not start out below par like Vulture.

My fault for not seeing the almost. sorry. While it at full value would be technically 7/7 for 2 , you still have to get 17 other creatures out to make it 7/7, which, unless all those other creatures are zero cost, means it's 7/7 for probably 20-40 quanta total. That's why i feel it's a bit UP

You mean it is a 7|7 and (17 other creatures worth 18-38 quanta) for 20-38 quanta.
1|1 for 2 is almost a fair price.
3|3 for 2 is about 2 for 1
5|5 for 2 is about 5 for 1 entropy
7|7 for 2 is about 6 for 1

[Rutarete]

I mean it's a 1/1 that becomes a 7/7 after you've payed ~20-38 quanta

super nova, mitosis, random tower, fractal and this card...

With ^ being mentioned again, i've decided to make a change. The ability will not work for itself. you can have 23 Emerging Beasts and they'll all be 1/1s

[Rutarete]

OK, here's the new proposition for the stages of shyness:
1. 1/1 if you control 5 or less creatures.
2. 4/4 if you control 11 or less creatures.
3. 7/7 if you control 16 or less creatures.
4. 10/10 if you have more than 16 creatures.

Remember this doesn't work for other emerging beasts.
