ART: Nicole N SOURCE (http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=1144083) IDEA: Hyroen NOTES: "Chameleon" can be lobotomized, however it does not require quanta input to activate it, much like Vulture | Condor. It may copy creatures beside it that are --originally-- immaterial. It copies the base card of the creatures beside it, that is to say, it does not copy buffs or debuffs from either of the 2 beside it. Only counts the creatures to its right and left, as such: [X] [Chm] [X]. In this case, [Chm] would become [X]. OP? Possibly. Life synergy galore? Definitely. It might require quite the specific deck, which I think Life can pull off quite easily, but alas. Hopefully the restrictive conditions help to balance it a little. It --is-- essentially a trickier Parallel Universe. If anything I might increase the cost, decrease the stats or a bit of both.. we'll see. It is what it is. SERIES:

Dragon, dragon, dragon, chameleon, chameleon. In that order.
Poof! 5 dragons. And in mono too. Though that requires massive quanta to set up.
Too situational.

Interesting idea.
One question:
 what happens if it is surround by 3 pairs of creatures each one different:
e.g. 2 green dragons, 2 toads, 2 cockatrice

something like this:
      gr.dg.      gr.dg.     
gn.td.      chm      gn.td
      cktr         cktr

6 creatures total, 3 pairs.
Or does it only count left and right?

It will only count left and right. Counting the other rows too seems a little complicated in terms of coding. When I propose a mechanic that considers all creatures around something, I'll be sure to use different wording, such as "surrounds" for example.

But thanks, I'll include it in the notes.
