Would a card entered in previous competitions be acceptable?

**Weapon returns at the end of your opponents turn**

Boomerang is meant to be a "lightning ball" version of a weapon.  It is inexpensive and hits REALLY hard.  But at a cost... the weapon only lasts for one turn and occupies a weapon slot.  Meaning that it is a burden-- it prevents you from running other weapons and cannot be spammed.

Boomerang's creature rival, Spark/Lightning Ball, has multiple applications: staying alive (Momentum, Blessing or Chaos power) or serving another purpose (being Cremated, powering up a Bonewall or being a fast Aflatoxin).  Boomerang is a one trick pony.  It deals 10 damage then returns back to the deck.

Yes! i knew it was worth a wait! Had the idea already, the problem was in designing the art, so i made some layers, a background gradient, a couple of fractal overlays and playing with blending styles, easy-peasy. hope you like it!

@slovenc: how much damage does the ability deal, to be exact?

**Weapon returns at the end of your opponents turn**

The concept is to be a 'lightning ball' in weapon form.  The weapon is cheap, hits hard and prevents you from decking out BUT it lacks versatility.  A lightning ball has uses and variety; it can be blessed, momentum'd, chaos powered, cremated, used for direct damage or even power up a bone wall.  In contrast, this weapon has little to no uses.  10 damage with a bounce back and that is ALL & considering the other weapons 10 damage is not a huge step up.  The card cost is cheap because of having 0 flexibility.  You cannot play more than one a turn and since there is only ONE weapon slot it prevents the use of other weapons.

Kamietsu: EDIT: Fixed images for you. (thanks -ace)

What happens if you use flying weapon?

It would become a creature and return to your deck at the end of turn.

Here we go.  All costs are water, as I can't get the symbols to work properly
