ART: Katsushika Hokusai IDEA: coinich NOTES: Playing a shield will discard this card.  Playing this card will discard your shield.  Otherwise its fairly simple; the more poison counters, the more damage the weapon deals.  Purify counters will negate the damage of this card; upgraded and the opponent having 2 Purify counters means that you will be dealing 3 damage a turn instead of 5.

Very powerful and with a serious drawback. I like it!

specially if you consider that water has the best shield ever.

However, I don't see the link between storm and poison. Can you explain?

You might want to add that you can't play this when a shield is equipped, or that when it is played, if you have a shield, it is destroyed. With the current text, you have have the shield out first and then play this.

I was using the thesaurus for things having to do with venom, and I came across various terms for hatred.  I then got caught up on wrath, such as angry seas, and added Storm because I figured it needed a watery name.  There's really not much more to it.  Perhaps poison just angers the storm more.

Its mentioned in the notes that this automatically discards any shields you might have.  Including the full nuances of that would take up too much room on the card.

If X was for your poison counters, now wouldln't that be fun?

I like it too. But the concept doesn't make any sense to me. It has nothing to do with poison. Maybe you could change the name? 
Scourge? Scourge of the sea? Toxic tsunami  ?

As stated in chat a while ago, I like the name as it is, as do others. It also helps if we need to change the image later on a-la Reverse Time copyright issues - the name is general enough to be different types of weapons but specific enough to imply the theme of water.

The image I used is under the CC license, and its a photograph of artwork from a long-dead artist.  I/wiki claims that is then open for public use, so I think I'm ok.  Worst comes to worst I'll find something.

CURATOR COMMENT

(Although not needed, you should add the 'when flying' phrase next to the ATK|HP stat section to show that the weapon can only have HP when it is flown - your card is passable as is)

Trying to make the -:death synergy even better, no? ^^;

Done.  I felt that water needs something stronger, and realized the poison by Chrysoara was a good place to start.
