Necromancer | Deathly Necromancer

[Xenocidius]

NAME: Necromancer ELEMENT: Death COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 4 | 2 TEXT: : Raise Turn the target creature undead, triggering death effects.	NAME: Deathly Necromancer ELEMENT: Death COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 6 | 2 TEXT: : Raise Turn the target creature undead, triggering death effects.

ART: vrt IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: Raise cannot be used on an undead creature. It triggers death effects when used and gives the creature the undead passive. Undead creatures will not generate Skeletons when Boneyard activates. This gives Death another much-needed way to trigger death effects; right now most of its death-effect cards are fairly underpowered. SERIES:

Is raise really the right name if it's effectivly killing the creature first? Otherwise decent card idea, isuppose.

I likes. It is definitely "deathly", however I believe there is some sort of Necromancer somewhere in the Smithy. :l

Still, 5* for incorporating undead passive into a card.

EDIT: Found it. HERE (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5353.0.html).
Just putting it there for reference though, other takes are always great. Can't be a hypocrite now can I?

Seems like this card would also grant quite a useful buff to holy light.

Sorry for the bump, but shouldn't it be mentioned that an undead creature turns into a random one once rewound (as does Skeleton)? When I first looked at the card I thought of this and it made me vote for it.

Even though it costs more, I see this damaging the meta in terms of Schrodinger's Cat.

Trigger death effects? Turn a creature into RT fodder?

This got lost in the forum update, I noticed.

From the way its worded I don't think it actually gets rid of the creature it just gives it a new ability and triggers death affects

I understand that. Raise still doesnt make sense. The creature must be dead to be raised (thematically). The creature is not already dead, therefore the necromancer is killing and raising the creature, which I think needs a better name.

well they should keep the art then because it is really good

Maybe if it was called Sacrificial Rites or something, so that implies sacrificing something...
