Iridium Warrior | Vanadium Warrior

[Drake_XIV]

NAME: Iridium Warrior ELEMENT: Earth COST: 2 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0 | 3 TEXT: Offensive: Changes to attack are also applied to health.	NAME: Vanadium Warrior ELEMENT: Earth COST: 3 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 5 TEXT: Offensive: Changes to attack are also applied to health.

ART: IDEA: Drake_XIV NOTES: Today is a day to remain firmly grounded. So stand tall and fight back. Complement to this. Rage Potion would give +5 | 0 instead Blessing would give +3 | +6 Momentum would give +1 | +2 Antimatter would kill it instantly Offensive is active, so Acceleration would replace it. SERIES:

Maybe it should say "are ALSO applied to health"?
When I read it, I assumed a rage potion would give it +0/+0, and a blessing +0/+6.
Not a native speaker though, might be my mistake.

I think what is meant here is that whenever a modification is made to attack, the same modification is applied to HP.

Its interesting to be sure.

So a SoPa would add +2|+4 each turn and SoW would give +4|+4 correct?
It makes for an amusing counter to rage based CC... or even better, as an addition to said strategy.
I like it... just needs some good artwork.
Any ideas?

Pretty sure it should say "also" too. I actually didn't catch that until it was mentioned.
Anyway, I'm flattered that you referenced Rolling Bug! :U
This is a nice card. It is a bit of a shame that Earth doesn't inherently have anything to help Iridium out, but I guess that's a different issue altogether.

For art, I was thinking of a spearman with armor similar to the Wardens.

And yeah, I'll add "also" when I get the chance.

Apologies for my Newbieness.  I don't understand the mechanism by which AM just kills this thing.

For example, if the upped card comes into play and gets AM'd, that's a net decrease of 4HP.  5-4 = 1, meaning it should still be alive, no?
Also, if the unupped card gets AM'd at 0 atk, there should arguably be no change to HP.

I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation.  I'm just missing it.  Again, apologies for asking a stupid question question that's probably obvious to everyone else.

The only thing you should apologize for is apologizing so much.
Antimatter: Attack x (-1). So for this card also Defense x (-1), which means Defense<0, which means dead.

Ah, of course!  I was thinking in terms of the net change instead of the actual *(-1) mechanic.  Thanks for the education.

Also, apologies for the apologies.  I'm doing my best actually to contribute to the community and not to become a nuisance by constantly asking silly questions.  That's the only reason I came out with my hat in my hand, so to speak.

Fixed text.

The card is already pretty balanced at this point. It does seem kind of silly for a "Warrior" to start out with such low stats, though :U although it's a minor issue.
Hopefully you can find some artwork soon!
