ART: Hyroen IDEA: Hyroen Tool: pixlr.com/editor NOTES: Felt like making another interesting and flexible Air card. ^_^A simple attempt at creating some synergy between Air and Earth. The effects of Dustdevil are additive with Dustdevils of other Dustdancers and %-based shields. [/li]

e.g. If 2 (unupgraded) Dustdancers use Dustdevil while Dusk Mantle is in play on your side, you will prevent 70% of attacks this turn.

Not airborne. One of the few non-airborne Air creatures suggested.[/li]Since Momentum allows creatures to ignore shields, Dustdevil still gives creatures with Momentum a chance to miss.[/li]"This turn" refers to the turn Dustdevil is activated and your opponent's next turn.[/li]

Dustdevil sounds better as an ability name.

I personally think that ALL Air creatures should be airborne (except the Nymph, but no cares about her because of flatuence problems), but I suppose that the Dustdancer can be the first non-rare to break non-conventions. That said, this combines much better with Fog Shield for obvious reasons, but I think that it should be '5 + ' for the upgraded version, to make the number adding easier. ^^;

what about 2x for miss chance?  it's only for 1 turn,  but even if it drain all your  it can do only 75% miss for 1 turn.

Well at 2 x the skill's maximum miss chance (in the game) would be 200%, 150% from the skill and 50% from Dusk Mantle.

This would mean that if there were any card that would improve your accuracy, unless it would improve it by over 100, you would still have no chance of hitting that turn.
Regardless, this skill has been seen as pretty underpowered so I've considered the following changes:
Attack Change: +1 ATK to both unupgraded and upgraded
Skill Change: : Dustdevil, All enemy physical attacks have an added 10% chance of missing this turn.

This way Dustdancer would be an offensive powerhouse akin to Ghost of the Past and still have a minor ability. If you manage to have 6 Dustdancers on the field you could potential avoid 100% physical damage each turn for 6 per turn and a Fog Shield, or 110% replacing the Fog Shield for a Dusk Mantle. It still is pretty easy to destroy with 2 health.

How does the change sound? And did anyone like the art? c:

[Hyroen]

Updated.

ATK has been increased by 1.
Skill changed.

Discuss.

It seems like it could be almost broken with Fog Shield or something, but ... probably wouldn't be. Perhaps it would be better if it gave the target creature 100% chance to miss instead?

That said, it's an interesting concept and provides some much-needed Earth-Air synergy. I like. ^^

[Hyroen]

Thanks Xeno. ^_^

There seems to be a general approval of this card and yet the rating seems to be oddly low.

Can whoever rated this card give an explanation of how this card could be changed in order to improve?

[Willowood]

I like the synergy between the two elements, I think this is a nice concept and I really liked the art. 
Combined with Fog Shield or Dusk Mantle this would be a pretty interesting card to see in game.

[Rutarete]

I like it, but the wording is confusing. Perhaps "Enemy physical attacks have an extra 10% chance to miss this turn." Or something similar.

[Hyroen]

Any last recommendations before Dustdancer is submitted to the Crucible?

SUBMISSION COUNTDOWN: Submitted

[Daguerreo]

I like this concept. I would like to start a series with this theme, would you help me?

[Hyroen]

Well, this card has a few themes going on, but I'd love to discuss which theme it is you'd like to center your series around and see if I could help.
