Wouldn't this type of effect more likely increase it's HP than ATK?

[SunnyGreens]

Well, yes I suppose, but there's already a card for that in Earth. You could make an argument that having stone skin gives you better offensive abilities. Big stone fists probably hurt more than big fleshy fists.

Well, it seems pretty good otherwise, and it wouldn't be OP considering no earth creature will probably have the passive ability Airborne...

The name sounds more like it burrows a flying creature or something 

[SunnyGreens]

The idea was that you could give one of your creatures an offensive boost if you needed it, or if the situation called for it you could remove the airborne ability from an enemy creature (though boosting their offense in the process).

There's not too many benefits of the airborne ability, so I wouldn't see it as creature control.

[SunnyGreens]

Well not yet anyways. Besides, what if you are playing and suddenly find your Wings shield threatened by an enemy flying creature?

[Kuroaitou]

Not liking this idea to be honest.


The problem with this card isn't the actual mechanic itself (we have no cards that give out a +attack bonus only unless you include Chaos Power, in which case the stats boosts are too random), but rather, the element. already has a card that increases a creature's HP significantly (especially for cards like Otyugh and Lava Golem, where various synergies emerge), and if you gave earth another card to boost up attack... well...

I think that this type of offensive boost should belong to something in fire or even air. Earth already has powerful defenses and cards that match well with it. This would push the element overboard (especially since both of the cards' costs are very cheap)...

I like the idea, however I do not like the element. Giving this to a different elements would be a lot better imo. Also, what is airborne? Do you mean dive? Or maybe flying weapon? I'm confused. Or is this a new card?

[kalkiran]

airborne is a new passive ability-drgaons scacanger vulture wyrm pegasus...etc

What does it do?

[kalkiran]

er certain shields only let...see the developments section 'wings' is a new  shield that requires a creature to be 'airborne' to attack things like photon, RoL, dragons-zanz gave a list (couldnt find sorry)
And its counterpart in weapons is 'ranged' currently only owls eye
