Hi,
here is a cultist with an ability that is a little bit different in contrast to the other cultists.

Awesome.

I like the Avosion ability but still questionable on how it would work in the game. If you play a firebolt against the Ghost, would it:

A: Prevent the targeting in the first place. Which poses the problem that the user will just cancel the Spell and be able to try again until the chance fails.

B: After being selected as a target give a chance to simply negate the effects. Which makes it very effective at breaking card advantage as the user has to waste the card just in the attempt to try and clear the target and might not succeed.


Immaterial creatures don't create this situation as its simply all or nothing.

Actually while writing this I have just thought of a solution.
Use option A, but the Avoision chance is rolled on the creatures action making the card immaterial until the next time the roll is made. Immaterial creatures now will get a 100% roll, avoision creatures will have a lower % roll.

I don't like option A because it destroys the tactical situation that you would create. I think it's good that the players don't know if the ability or the spell will hit the creature. They have to think about it if they should to use here spell against the creature with the risk of wasting it or if they should target other creatures.

The rolls are very similar to option A because you have only two times where you could place the roll: At the end of every turn or before every targeting. It would only let the players check if they can target the creature and nothingelse.

Lol, if someone plays the un-upped one and I had a quint in my hand...

This necesitates the duo usuage of this card, because no one would target either cultist/priest, so you would have to bolt your own creature.

Prediction: SG sees the picture and says that it is too scary and needs to be more cartoony.

It is scary though.

I changed the stats a little bit:
* increased the attack of Cultist and Priest about 1
* decreased the HP of the Priest about 1

About the art: i don't think that it is too scary
