ART: Robin Halioua IDEA: Jazzfan27 NOTES: Adds a little offensive punch to your healing cards. For clarification, if you were under SoSa your opp would take 1 damage for each creature that attacks you for Dark Forest and 2 damage each for Black Forest. SERIES:

This is too OP by far, unfortunately, though it is a cool idea.  Miracle and Shard of Sacrifice, for example, would break this in half.  Feral Bond would also do some pretty mean things with it.

[jazzfan27]

Yup, you are correct.  I didn't think of those cards.  I really hate shard of sacrifice.  I dno't think Miracle would be a problem with the mana reqs.

SoSa should have a cost more in line with Miracle IMHO.  But, ehh.

Any way to fix this or is it just broken?

[jazzfan27]

Ok, I nerfed the card a bit to try and account for the broken issue with SoSa and Miracle.  Now instead of dealing one damage for each point of healing it deals 1 damage for each source of healing (or 2 for the upgraded version).

On the plus side, with this version your healing still takes place, unlike the old version.

I didn't think it was possible to balance this card after seeing the original version without completely altering it, but I think you somehow managed to accomplish the task :p  Definitely useful, but I don't think it's OP.  Probably the worst things to do with it now are cards like sanc, vampires, bonds/SoGs, and the like, and I don't think that will be too strong; it requires a dedicated deck, and I think it would be competitive, but it's not ridiculous like before.
