NOTES: [/color][/b] Shadow Walk is a very powerful ability but it only last until your next turn and you have to pay for it each time if the creature has immortality/ momentum before shadow walk was used they keep the skill (shadow walk is its own ability that consists of immortality/ momentum)

CURATOR COMMENT
- What Happens if I put this into play and then Use Quintessence on it and then next turn use the Shadow Walk ability?

[finkel]

lots of obsidian pillars+6 of these+6 blessings= O.O

OP, I say. How about you can't use the ability twice in a row?
so after using it, it's disabled for one full turn.

[dragonhuman]

Well the shadow walk ability is simply momentum/ immaterial so it gains shadow walk for 1 turn but I put on the card what shadow walk is for simplification

I don't know about having a turn limit on it, but you have to pay each turn while you could also take a lava golem give it momentum and qunitessence and be able to use its growth each turn

Honestly, I think that this is both balanced and awesome.  Consider it a 5/3 momentum immaterial creature with 2 upkeep -- at that point, it seems much more balanced, doesn't it?

This is exactly the kind of midrange beatstick that Darkness doesn't have (Gargoyle notwithstanding), and I think it would be solid in-game.

[dekskose]

nice idea but it costs a littlebit much (not skill cost) i would preffer it having 5unupped and 4upped

[dragonhuman]

should I maybe have it cost 5 and have the upped version be 6/3?

[dekskose]

hmm let me think a 6/2 immaterial(for 2 darknes each turn)for 5 darknes quanta would make 30 dmg for... 5 turns =15 darknes quanta hmm i need to say balanced

Honestly, I think that this is both balanced and awesome.  Consider it a 5/3 momentum immaterial creature with 2 upkeep -- at that point, it seems much more balanced, doesn't it?

But it's not. It's a 5/3 momentum immaterial creature that you can still throw spells on. That's what makes this card awesome.

I really like this idea. It's quite strong, but considering the high cost probably balanced.

[dragonhuman]

umm guys? its a 5/2 currently

so that way if you forget to play its ability or on the first turn it can by killed with a bolt/ shard
and its intentional to be able to buff it up

now that I see it, it has some good combination with SoR

[dekskose]

dudes its in njo way op think of a cahrger wich you bless nad play quintessence cost 5+2+3 10 and makes in one turn 10 dmg and hast any upp cost so its not really op...

[Kael Hate]

I think its quite balanced. Its not immune to solution and has an upkeep.

A mechanical issue I have with it is the Overlap of the Shadowalks turning off Immaterial after 1 turn and permanent Immaterial from Quintessence. Actually, make the 2 issues as turnoffs are done when a creature has its action, so you will either not have Immaterial after the end of your turn or you need to add a new mechanic to allow abilities to roll over turns.
