ART: Hawanja http://freakmutantmonster.blogspot.com/2011/03/ao-ao.html IDEA: moomoose NOTES: changed the concept, as the original could not compete with charger and remain a level of interest.  the new concept is that of a primal creature with a short temper.  block its attack and it will find something to vent its frustrations on. does not get triggered when frozen/delayed or antimatter'd.  phase shield, bone wall and hax shield can trigger this card, as well as shields which reduce the effective attack value to 0.  when in combination with adrenaline, only a maximum of two permanents per warthog per turn can be destroyed. a potentially interesting strategy against an opponents warthog is to use momentum on it, so it will never fail to land a blow. the alternative upgraded version would be 5 and have 2 atk and 6ish hp, this would cause the passive ability to trigger against several more shields. edit- sundial does not count as an unsuccessful attack, as an attack is not attempted SERIES:

original concept

The unupped seems to be a bit OP. Lower the attack a bit I think.
Charger: 4 attack + 5 hp + momentum = 5
Colossal Hog: 7 attack (+3) + 5 hp + chance for momentum (-1 I think compared to momentum) = 6   (+3 attack -1 momentum -1 cost = +1)
So either higher cost or lower stats I think

[moomoose]

gotta factor in the -1 cost life bonus, aye?

[Rutarete]

maybe the unupped can be 6 for 5/5 stats - it's not vulnerable to maxwell then.

As for momentum's +1/+1, i don't think that should be applied here. I think that would be a bit too powerful

[moomoose]

issue of it being 5 atk, it would be be less effective than just getting the momentum card on a kfc or frog.

It wasn't green enough for me to notice Then I'd say balanced.

If +1 | +1 would be applied, wouldn't it cause quite a problem? Gaining, then losing, then gaining, then losing... It should just gain Momentum and don't bother with the +1 | +1  (unless you wanna make it a growing creature )

A Kentucky Fried Chicken? 
Seriously, what does it mean?

[moomoose]

no more bothersome than dive making a creature gain 2x atk, i figure this would help balance out the difference between simply using a momentum card at a cost of 1 once compared to having the skill give the effect for 1 each turn. 

yes, kentucky fried chicken in reference to the cockatrice, old slang from everquest

I'd say that the upped version will be overshadowed by Charger. Charger is one element and doesn't need the cost.

[moomoose]

good point, there has to be a reason to use this card in a duo over just using charger

[moomoose]

maybe have charge be similar to dive for non-airborn creatures (2x damage), but also come with momentum for that turn?

[moomoose]

how about this as a revamped concept?
