First card, really just messing around with the program. I posted in the request art as well, basically this is supposed to be a viking ship, I just used the two names that were relevant to what they were called in those times.

Steal 4  :rainbow ?  Even if it's converted to  :water , I can't help but feel that it's OP.

I was thinking the same thing, I didn't necessarily want to make it steal only 2  :rainbow, but wasn't sure if 4  :rainbow would seem too much. Perhaps 3  :rainbow might be a bit more reasonable?

On a side-note, 2 COULD in fact be useful if you're hurting for some  :water or if you want to get a few cards out quickly.

Hm, what if you just nerfed the ability entirely?

I mean, it already has decent stats, so why should it drain so much?

I took your advice and switched it up. It seems much more balanced now and I'm liking the outcome, I'm wondering on the cost a bit if perhaps I should lower it 1 or leave it as is.

EDIT: Don't feel the need to bump this thread for every minor change (unless editing does that in which case I apologize). Anyways, I switched the cost from 7 :water down to 6 :water.

Maybe drop the cost of the upgraded by 1.

Why :earth? That theme seems to fit better in :darkness

Maybe should be useful with a lowest atk/hp, so you can decrease cost to a midrange attacker with a nice ability ( cost 5 for upgraded and less for the unup)

Fractal... Flooding... o.o
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

My reason for this was that Darkness didn't seem to really fit with it, Longship and Dragonships are what vikings used to travel doing their bidding and what not, I figured the :earth mark resembled it more closely theme-wise. That's just how I see it though, I can always change it to be more fitting. As for cost I'm not quite sure what you mean by that; lower the attack 1 and the cost by 1 as well?

And to Nepycros, I could see that being insanely advantageous, it might even have flooding become more widely utilized.

Actually, this card is quite good.  It's really only effective against mono decks, two quanta in a rainbow is nothing.
