Even without Titan, this still makes a great gravity duo! Overdrive converts the Hp gain by a lot!

Again, I really like this card and would use it.

I think 7-8 hp would be fine for the upgraded cost.

I absolutely love this card! It totally fits death, and gives a good way to avoid tricky-to-escape cc cards, such as antimatter and basilisk blood. I agree that 7 or 8 hp would be reasonable as the upgraded card cost.

That thing made me bloodthirsty lol.

This card seems great. Balanced mechanics wise and fits the chaarcter of  .

Do you want card art for it? (But I can only draw it B & W because I have suckish computer artz skillz )

1-4 Altar
5-14 Gravity Pillar
15-20 Armagio
21-24 Momentum
25-30 Acceleration

Bone Pillars are Altars.

I think that the difference between 10 HP and 9 HP is considerably less of an upgrade than the difference between 10 quanta and 9 quanta. The only card currently in the game that can be used for comparison is Shard of Sacrifice, which is 48|40 HP. I'm not sure how to scale this down.

I'd limit the card text as currently, Sacrifice implies the creature is on your side of the field.  Also, displaying letters in the costs seems to me to be awkward.

I'd personally have the card text read as follows.

Costs 10 health to play.
: Sacrifice a non weapon creature and heal up to the sum of its stats.

It fits and /simplifies/ the text.

[Rutarete]

Costs 10 health to play.
: Sacrifice a non weapon creature and heal up to the sum of its stats.

Why would you have that in the text when it's already in the cost corner? It's redundant.

The suggestion is to remove the cost in the corner.  I feel it does not help the card aesthetically.

[EmeraldTiger]

hmmm Thank you for that input. It is something to think about.

[Drake_XIV]

Also, for upgrading, maybe make it cost 8~7 health?  Dropping it by 1 health doesn't seem like much.

Alternatively, make it cost the same, but add a fixed amount to healing?

You could just change the activation cost.  The hp difference is negligible in 99% of all cases.  Make the unupped one cost 3 instead of 2 and that'll make the upgrade significant.
