ART: etg IDEA: moomoose NOTES: a slant on the grabloids, does not enter burrowed, so -1 cost. props to anyone who thought 'doug!?' when they saw the creatures name. SERIES:

NAME: Sting Ray ELEMENT: Water COST: 8 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 7 | 3 TEXT: : Future Shock Stun the target card for 1 turn	NAME: Elite Sting Ray ELEMENT: Water COST: 8 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 9 | 3 TEXT: : Future Shock Stun the target card for 1 turn

ART: etg IDEA: moomoose NOTES: a slant on the shrieker, cannot burrow, duo ability, lower attack.  future shock can target non-stacking permanents (it does say 'card' not 'cards') or creatures, and the effect is cumulative (it can add on to an existing delay, and multiple sting rays can produce several delays on the same target if desired) *may restrict it to permanents, as there seem to be more than enough cc options SERIES:

Interesting- but I think it might be a bit OP- just like shrieker. The fact that future shock costs  doesn't make it weaker because you already need  to evolve it. To me making the ability costing 2  might help to prevent use solely off a mark.

[moomoose]

its not the duo ability itself alone that makes it weaker, there are many things.  the atk is lower, the hp in the upgraded is lower, when generated from a nemotoad- the nemotoad is not burrowed and is subject to cc even before the sting ray comes out. 

im not too concerned with it being able to be fueled by a mark, because if a mark is your only source of quanta, you will be severely limited in how many applications of future shock you use per turn, as well as likely having to decide between evolving a nemotoad or using future shock on some turns.  future shock is generally a rather weak soft control ability, it only lasts one turn, requiring constant reapplication, making its power/cost ratio way low.

also, its worth mentioning that the lack of burrow means this card will always remain exposed to cc and not be able to burrow and reduce the effectiveness of antimatter, both of which i found rather useful in my time using shrieker decks.

[Retribution]

I really don't think it's that powerful. Compare it to arctic squid.

[Naesala]

Nice, time/water is one of the few duos water is lacking (and being the element thats supposed to go with everything, this should happen) I like the idea of combining this with procrastination to put your opponent in a major lockdown, trio and add silence and your opponent is in full denial.

[Rutarete]

I like how you edited the art! I don't think it's OP or UP - as Moomoose stated, the lack of Burrow makes a big difference.

[furballdn]

Lack of burrow makes it fractallable, but it looks very nice.

I think this is OP because of fractal. You don't need much quanta to fractal this, so it would become a rainbow finisher, and probably would run pretty well in a rushier deck too.

[Xenocidius]

The fact is that Graboid's being burrowed is largely to prevent it from being Fractalled and consequently broken (I think). Still, it's an interesting card. Whether the Fractal aspect would cause it to be broken or not, I'm unsure.

[mega plini]

just give it the passive ability "can not be fractalt"

[moomoose]

even with fractal, it may be a tricky trio to pull off, needing 8 10 and 4 to get just 4 additional ones out, and then more if you want to use the abilities at all.
