Both skills are active and can be lobotomized.

Can a creature have two active abilities? In any case, stealth is more suited to be a passive ability that can't be targeted by mass-cc or lobo.

I guess a weapon is only considered a creature if its flown?

Decrease the cost of the creature. I don't think I want to use 5 :death on a creature that has only 3|2. It has a great ability, but it's still very easy to kill.

Compared to parasite|bloodsucker, its ability is very strong. Possible ability cost increase instead,

Probably a better question is, if the ability is activated and Grave Lurker attacks a creature, does it also attack the player after?

Yes and yes. That's why it costs 5 for 3|2.

In this case active only means that it can be lobotomized. This really only refers to one card -- the lobotomizer weapon, since mind flayers can't target it.

IIRC the way the game is coded doesn't allow creatures to have more than one active ability.

Ahh, okay. In that case Ambush is active and Stealth is passive. I'll update the notes.

Yes, thanks. Any suggestions?

Increased ability cost to  :darkness :darkness. Because the ability can be buffed I think it's fair to say that it's better than Eagle Eye, so 2 :darkness is fair, even off-element. I don't think it's balanced to lower the casting cost, so I'm keeping it as-is for now.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

OE+FW is 2 cards + 6 :air + mono snipe + 5 damage per turn, or 1 card + 8 :air + mono snipe + 5 damage per turn.
Grave Lurker is 1 card + 5 :death + duo snipe + 3 damage per turn.

There is a discrepancy of 3 :underworld. 1 of these comes from the duo cost, and the other 2 :underworld probably come from the less damage. The ability to be untargettable by other creatures only is worth around 1/2 :underworld if I had to say, so 5 :death is fine.
