NAME:
Burrowing Scorpion
ELEMENT:
Earth
COST:
3 :earth
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
1|1
TEXT:
Venom: Add 1 poison damage to each successful attack.  Enters burrowed.  Cause poisoning if ingested.
NAME:
Tunneling Scorpion
ELEMENT:
Earth
COST:
3 :earth
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
1|3
TEXT:
Venom: Add 1 poison damage to each successful attack.  Enters burrowed.  Cause poisoning if ingested.
ART:
Scorpion card image, recolored by Thalas
IDEA:
Malebolgia
NOTES:
    The attack on the card already considers that it is auto-burrowed, similar to Graboid not having different stats than when in play.  Technically the attack would double should it be forcefully unburrowed.Likelihood of cost being raised to 4 :earth to compare with Forest Scorpion | Scorpion.

I like it as is; I don't think it needs to be reworked.

Will it have the unburrow ability?
I can't think of an immediate reason why it should, maybe eternity bouncing, or it's the only card left

But that should be clarified.

If it comes into play burrowed, wouldn't it have an ATK of 0 due to rounding? If that's the case, why bother having it burrowed at all, other than giving the opponent a turn to go 'oh crap, better put out a shield'?

Like Graboid, the card already considers the auto-burrow.  Added to notes.
