ART: Hrana Janto IDEA: PhantomFox NOTES: Sekhmet, among other things, was an Egyptian deity that protected the Pharaoh in battle.  She was also something of a warrior goddess as well, named the Lady Of Flames.  This card is a mid-range attacker that can protect one card for one turn from being gone for good.  This is more a defensive Reverse Time, and the ability is based off of the costs for that card.  Cost is 6 - 5 for 5 attack and 1 for the ability.  Any questions? SERIES: N/A

Good idea. I like how it is based on something in history. However, I wouldn't use it to protect, I'd target a photon or malignant cell on the other player's field and then devour it.


Hmm... I don't really know if there's anything that should be changed.

Hold up:

Sekhmet, among other things, was an Egyptian deity that protected the Pharaoh in battle. ...

You know, I'm kind of wondering whether or not this card should have more synergy with Pharaoh, but seeing that the 'Protection' ability can be cast on anything, I'd say that this card would help mono-time a lot when dealing with creature control, instead of having to splash for Anubis' immortality.

Not to mention, it's probably BETTER than immortality, in case immortal creatures are poisoned or going against fire shield - just pop protection on the target creature, and you get to play it again refreshed rather than having to use rewind/eternity on it prematurely or letting it die because it's already been immortalized. An army of these would make it impossible for the enemy to kill you, assuming that these cards can protect themselves.

You should lower the cost of both cards to 5 , and make it a perfect 1:1 ratio. Anubis has a cost of 8 only because he can make creatures untargetable, while this card will only rewind one card at a time if it dies. Actually, what would happen if Sekhmet was protecting a card and was killed instead of the target card? Would it just die? Or would it automatically be rewound?

Finally, nice art. ^^ I hope this gets moved up to the crucible, even though I want my ideas to advance...

[PhantomFox]

I wouldn't say it's better than immortality, as that's fire-and-forget, whereas this is a one turn emergency rewind.  You still have to pay the cost to replay it, and it loses any buffs it has.  It loses and debuffs too, true...

The ability is treated as a one turn buff, so if Sekhmet only gets rewound if it's protecting itself.  Which is partly why it only has 3 HP.  Do you protect your decent attacker, or something else?

And thanks for the compliment about the art.  It isn't mine of course, but I do like finding 'shiny' art that will grab people's attention.

Wait, so it can only protect one creature per turn? I'd prefer if you could protect multiple creatures, so then I could spend 20 turns protecting all my opponent's malignant cells before playing lightning storm ^_^

This card fascinates me. While I do recognize the advantages of synergy with pharaoh, semi-substitute for anubis that uses only  , emergency rewinding etc, as others have stated, I am thrilled that we can now avoid deckout using 1 and 1 . Oty eats a protected creature--of course both oty and sekhmet should be quinted, but this isn't troublesome for an anti FG rainbow to implement. Been seeing some stuff about animated-SoRed-quinted eternity, which is a pain to implement since it's a 4 card combo. Good work PhantomFox--not sure if it can be refined further, I'll leave that to others.

[Terroking]

Yeah, I really like the idea.

Fits in pretty well in with Time as well, now it just needs some direct damage...

It's a nice RT-inna-bun when combined with a big Scarab, as well as being able to protect it.

I assume it would work like Gravity Pull, only one creature on each side can be protected at once?

[PhantomFox]

I hadn't intended as such, as it would make multiple copies slightly pointless.  But I'm willing to add that to the card notes if you can show it would be broken otherwise.  It would be rather quanta heavy to run many of these at the same time.  Would the reward vastly outweigh the costs?

[GG]

question: is this considered as a rewind/reverse time?

as in, could this be used against enemy monsters or on a mummy so that it becomes a pharaoh?



using agaist enemy monsters actually sound viable. it could help in preventing the enemy from drawing cards that he want.

[Avenger]

Lady of fires? Why not having the ability as fire then? Pure elements are boring, combos are fun

[Flayne]

I like this idea
however, if these can target themselves, i suggest lowering the attack so it`s not too Op by itself

[PhantomFox]

Monos are efficient.  Combos are clunky.    Well, not really, but there's a counter position to that arguement.  I felt that mono-time needed a boost, so here it is.

Also, I think it being able to target itself is fine, as Phoenix is similar enough to be used as a precedent.
