Light Beam | Laser Beam

NAME: Light Beam ELEMENT: Light COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: N | 1 TEXT: Intensity: N is equal to the amount of you generate each turn.	NAME: Laser Beam ELEMENT: Light COST: 7 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: N+3 | 4 TEXT: Intensity: N is equal to the amount of you generate each turn.

ART: eaglgenes101 IDEA: eaglgenes101 NOTES: Seemingly weak creature that can become a powerful mid-high hitter in decks that generate a lot of light each turn, such as RoL/Hope. I went through several iterations of this idea before designing this one. Rejected ideas include: - a high-attack fragile creature that generated light - a high-attack creature with PC potential - a high-attack creature that sacrificed itself to deal damage to other creatures SERIES:

Yea, RoL Hope can be pretty powerful with this, probably the upgraded version.

[AP579]

What about pends?

[OdinVanguard]

How exactly is N figured? Is it computed once when played or is it dynamic (specifically, how does solar shield interact)

[eaglgenes101]

It's determined dynamically. Every time one is generated, the attack of light beams on the field increase by 1.

Oh, and I updated it for sending to Crucible.

[Aves]

By dynamically, you mean it is updated every turn? Does that mean buffs/antimatter would be reset every time?

[eaglgenes101]

It would start at its "max" ATK, which in the case of an unbuffed light beam, would be 0|1. Every time it attacks, it snaps back to this "max" attack.

So buffs would do their effects, but Antimmater would only do anything on Laser Beam, and not by much.

[Rutarete]

Ooh, very powerful in mono. 6 of these + a few blessings + lots of pillars!

[Elbirn]

....6 of these + 6 momentums + Gravity mark + 18 upped light pillars = gg?

Apologies for necro, this card's in crucible however and seeing as how I'm placing votes at the moment, I want some clarification on what this does. The way it's being discussed it sounds like only light emitting creatures count, but the card text does not imply this at all.

MIRACLESSSS PEOPLE LOVE MIRACLES

yea this encourages high production, which would eventually turn into a stall-ish thingy. I mean a few SoD and suddenly you're at 200 health. MIRACLES EVERYWHERE.

With a large amount of pillars, I can see it becoming a good choice in the arena.

[eaglgenes101]

I just thought of something: it synergizes with and firm counters sundial!
The idea: It accumulates attack as it sits on the field and dumps it when it attacks. Sundial would cause it to not attack, allowing it to fire off a large burst of damage after being stalled.

[dragtom]

sorry, but creatures still update when sundial is up. (infection, spark, malignant cell, quanta prodcution, overdrive...)
So, unless it is coded to be excluded from this, it's attack resets.
