ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/399678 IDEA: moomoose NOTES: simply put, a cheap, weak, but reusable, cc for other. other uses can be dealing small amounts of damage to the opponent, or helping to deplete certain shields. SERIES:

Does this stack?

[moomoose]

you can have more than one stick in play, but they will not 'stack'.  you can use more than one independently of one another.

[mrezman]

So this is not a weapon, right? Could be useful.

[TheAccuso]

Since the activation cost is free i will write:
"Poke:
Deal 1 damage to the target once per turn"

[Rutarete]

Can't stop laughing at this. I love it

Wasn't there already a card like this? It was called slingshot or something.

[Vineroz]

This is one nice looking stick.

Also the ability seems a bit OP. OE deals 3 damage for 2 , but there can only be one (except FW which would be 2 card combo). Isn't this a bit too cheap?

[Shantu]

Make it a weapon. No base damage, just the poke. Weaker than the other weapons but more versatile.

Still, not sure if control is a good idea for Other. See Shard of Focus, even if this is much weaker. I still like the card though.

There's tons of CCs over there, so :other CC doesn't look far OP or un-thematic. (And I think :other PC is far OP or un-thematic)
I really like this card. Cost seems balanced, theme looks nice.
(really, if you want to make EE-like damage, you need 3 Sticks)

i was trying to balance it in terms of "how much would this have to cost to even consider using this in a deck", compared to traditional means which are much more potent, it would have to be a lot less.  poison for example will deal 1 damage per turn for 1 after paying for a parasite, or 3 damage for 2: air after paying for the OE.  so what is the cost for dealing one damage to one target?  not much.  so my question is, if this cost more to put into play and/or to use each turn, would you bother putting this in any of your decks?  when it comes to this weak of an ability, it taking a slot in your streamlined deck is a considerable deterrent from putting it into your deck.
