NAME: Tremor ELEMENT: Earth COST: 2 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Burrow target creature to deal 2 damage to all burrowed creatures.	NAME: Tremor ELEMENT: Earth COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Burrow target creature to deal 2 damage to all burrowed creatures.

ART: IDEA: patchx94 NOTES: Target creature burrowed first. Then 2 damage is dealt to all burrowed creatures (including the target creature). Burrowing does not halve the target creature's ATK. SERIES:

hmm... creature version of PA OR version of quintessence, works as CC as well... with the drawback of that almost negligible damage (unless more of this spell is used).. pretty useful.. not sure about the cost, though

seems like decent creature control for a cheap cost. Also very powerful against AI3 (they burrow their shriekers as soon as possible).

"almost negligible"? Well...GL Tremoring your Lava Destroyer or Otyugh...

I dont get why burrowing doesnt half the damage.

Works like Quint, but has some drawbacks (if you're playing Earth you probably have more burrowable creatures than your opponent), so I voted 3/2 cost.

The best Earth creature is probably Graboid, so if the intent of this card is to boost mono-Earth, it should not deal enough damage to kill Graboid/Shrieker. However, one damage is completely pointless for the vast majority of creatures (see Thunderstorm), so 2 damage would fit. If it's meant as just something to splash, either 2 or 3 damage would be fine.

I dont get why burrowing doesnt half the damage.

I didn't make the card, so I don't know what the designer was thinking, but I'd guess thematically the creature isn't really 'burrowing' itself. It is smashing into the ground with such momentum (pun not intended) that it sinks into it.

voted for 2 dmg, 3|2 cost..

why?
It's almost a substitute for quint + it damages + it gives that "chance" for your target to "avoid" shields (targeting an upped maxwell's demon to avoid permafrost, perhaps?)

so, 2|1 lools looks too cheap.. but i'm no quanta counting guy, so yeah..

on the damage,
2 is a pretty neat number, high enough to kill your own Lava destroyer at the same turn summoned, yet, low enough to not overshadow firestorm..

yeah, i'd tremor my lava destroyer any day.. after a growth of course.. Otyugh? yep, i'd still do so, depending on the situation... (when EE's and fireflies are in play, i'd do, so it still eats flies, yet avoids snipe )

[EDIT] typo "lools" --> looks, though it works too xD

The effect is not only unwarranted, but whose increase its potential as CC, forcing an increase in cost that forces Tremor to become just as expensive as Quintessence. This would make it quite inferior compared to Quintessence.
