I can see exactly one effective use from this card, and that's with SoP. It's not good to have a card with a forced synergy. If there is any other use to this, please enlighten me.

editted a bit

Well my comment still stands. This card is pretty useless without SoPa.

Well my comment still stands. This card is pretty useless without SoPa.

Infinite Mutation/Immolation fodder; Dessication fodder in order to gain a lot of . Space filler for flooding so the rest of your creatures can be flooded. Nightmare AIs so you can flood their field with useless creatures.

[blarp]

hmmm... I kinda like this. I'm not sure SoP needs a semi-buff though.

Not sure how to use this card... maybe as immofodder.

[blarp]

also could put this in a hope deck with lobo and use it for luci fodder without needing fractal.

I would make the unupped one have mitosis costing  to make it less straight forward to specific decks.

i agree with chap but for a different reason, mitosis is a life card, to utilize it without including life is essentially elemental theft.  as such, i would further recommend adding the cost into the upped and decide a way to compensate for that alteration.

Maybe make the unupped skill cost 2 and the upped skill cost 1

Thematic issues aside, this card would make a truly excellent addition to as it would allow decks to make good use of the flooding - SoPa synnergy effectively. (Starfish used to occupy central slots, then other creatures placed on the edges)

Ah. A great idea and I had stored away basically something exactly like this, mechanic and name! Though your version has stats and cost which I'm liking more than my version. Hah.

Anyway, good to see it out here. Some recommendations though:

While Mitosis (the spell) does produce a cost of the creature's cost, a reproductive skill such as Mitosis, especially if not given through the spell should try to cost , at least for thematic purposes. An increase of the standard version's HP to 2 would produce more synergy with Dry Spell, but also create more of an elemental distinction from Fire, an element of highly fragile creatures. Lastly, in order to really separate this from a simple Aflatoxin on Spark, perhaps both the standard and upgraded versions could produce per turn, being Water's token type of creature? I think that would really give it use and create some possible pillarless decks.

Just my 2 . Continue the great work!

If this thing also produced , you would actually have a VERY powerful little card on your hands.

You would have one of the best, if not the best, quanta producing creatures in the game.

Just pop the upped version these into a deck with pillars and your set...

For some interesting fun, you could do an :ife trio using mark and pends and put in this, fractal, and empathic bond with flooding and SoPa.
It would give dragonfly rushers a run for their money I think.
