NAME:
Evolution

TEXT:
All your creatures become mutants and gain a new skill each turn.
ART:
Here and here
IDEA:
Xenocidius
NOTES:
Okay, this basically grants each of your creatures a random skill that can be gotten from Mutation. It costs 1-2 of the creature's summoning element, like Mutation skills.

It grants your creatures the passive skill Mutant (which makes them act strangely when Parallel Universe is cast on them). It also grants them the passive skill Evolution which changes their skill each turn, or the passive skill Natural Selection, which changes their skill each turn but also gives them a 10% chance to die each turn.

Because skills like Momentum and Immaterial carry on (they don't get removed each turn), the creatures really do become progressively stronger.

Plus, this card would be a hell of a lot of fun.

 :o Really rapid evolution, this is. Turn by turn change is too fast to be completely thematic imo. But still, I'd have a whole lot of fun with this. My Mutation deck would love it!

New idea for the Evolution card: All your creatures become mutants and gain a new skill every ten million years.

Very similar to my Sand Man card. For that reason, I think it would better serve as an  :entropy card - it maintains the characteristics of entropy (mutation and randomness).

I like the idea of it and i believe something like this has been brought up before. i just guess it hasn't materialized into a card yet. I do believe that this will completely overshadow the normal mutation card though.

Speaking of which, the moment I saw this card, I thought it should work like Pandemonium: That is, all creatures for unupped, and all of YOUR creatures for the upped version.

so basically is a :life card that steals an :entropy spell and then makes it better than the :entropy spell by a lot? no me gusta, at all.

It doesn't mutate the creature into a buffed up +4/+4 version at all...
