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?

2N, where the N is the number of creatures your opponent owns. so, if your opponent has a full board (23), damage dealt is 46! Acctually the upper limit is 8, but dealt to creatures is 2 to each with total limit of... well... infinity!

btw: flying/animated: N/5

Discuss.

I'm a bit confused. Both active and passive skills said attack the opponent, but you said "dmg dealt to creatures is 2 to each". How can you damage a creature? As far as I know, the only way (currently) to damage creatures with weapons is flying weapon+grav pull

The affect is deadly against lil creature spams(i like), btw you might want to find a more "weapony" picture ^^.

[slovenc555]

well... it's atmosphere. I mean, like you would have a veapon called... how about... "ball" and you would use an image of a square?! Oh, and btw, if grav. pull would be used on a creature, the damage would still be dealt to all the creatures, beacouse the gravity pull takes only the damage directed against the owner, not his creatures, so damage dealt to the grav. pull (depending on the number of creatures) would be 8 at its best IF you would use the weapon's ability (direct damage against your opponent). tougth most, if not all, questions over about a month ago, when i got the idea. The point of the weapon is to get rid of the creatures, but only when not flown. If flown, the active skill replaces the passive one, so all damage is dealt to your opponent.

wow...a double Thunderstorm every turn. IMO that's OP, even at a cost of 8. This thing could wipe most creatures in 2-3 turns. It's good if it attacks target creatures, but every creature is a bit much

[slovenc555]

BUT it doesn't attack the owner if you don't use the skill, and even if you do, it relies on the number of creatures (0 creatures=0 damage, 1 creature=2 damage...). so, i wouldn't say so. think about it. it's like two empathic bonds in reverse.

I don't think an auto-attack can be a targeted ability.  Even if it was, it shouldn't be a free ability.  Eagle Eye does 3 damage for 2 air and is the sole function of the card.  Pressure AND this auto-creature-attack shouldn't be on the same card.

Also, being able to deal damage worth about half someone's life for only 2 is seriously broken.  Especially since Life Rush, FFQ, Boneyard, and alfatoxin decks aren't exactly uncommon.

[slovenc555]

... What? if you use Pressure the damage is limited to max 10 and re-directed from the creatures to your opponent, so you do NOT harm the creatures if you use the pressure ability.
Was i cleas this time?

[Glitch]

Two damage to every enemy creature is still way overpowered.  Perhaps make a side note that creatures life points cannot be lowered below 1 in this manner?

[slovenc555]

no. let us say that it cannot target creatures with 1 hp?
