NAME: Exemplar ELEMENT: Light COST: 14  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: variable ABILITY: Summon a base copy of target creature with exemplar skill.  While in play all like creatures gain +1/0.  If destroyed, all like creatures gain 0/-1.	NAME: Exemplar ELEMENT: Light COST: 12  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: variable ABILITY: Summon a base copy of target creature with exemplar skill.  While in play all like creatures gain +1/0.  If destroyed, all like creatures gain 0/-1.

ART: IDEA: smuglapse NOTES: "Base copy" is a copy with the base stats of the creature.  "Like creatures" are all similar creatures of the target plus the (un)upgraded versions and mutants with the same name.  The attack upgrade applies to the exemplar itself.  The active skill "exemplar" will display underneath the summoned creature and replace any other active skill.  If lobotomized, all like creatures and exemplar lose the attack upgrade.  If rewound, all like creatures lose the attack upgrade and the base creature is returned to the top of your deck.  The passive skill "wavering" will be added to the exemplar.  If destroyed or mutated, all like creatures will lose 1 HP plus the attack upgrade.  Exemplar stacks.

Cool idea but I think it's a bit too confusing. Sorry

Cool idea but I think it's a bit too confusing. Sorry

To illustrate:

1. You play a Ray of Light and then bless it:
(http://imageplay.net/)

2. You cast Exemplar on Ray of Light, and like Parallel Universe, you gain another Ray of Light.  However, unlike Parallel Universe you gain a "base copy" without the light skill.  Instead, it has the exemplar skill and (+1 atk):
(http://imageplay.net/)The other Ray of Light becomes: (http://imageplay.net/)because an exemplary Ray of Light is on the board.

3. Your opponent casts Lightning on your exemplary Ray of Light which dies and your other Ray of Light becomes:
(http://imageplay.net/)

Any other Ray of Lights on the board without buffs die, as well.

Can you please change the image? That is one of the symbols used by fascists.

I didn't mean to offend, but that is kind of the point.  The creature becomes a leader and the group benefits or suffers as a whole.

Is this something banned in Italy like they ban Nazi symbols in Germany?

^^ i was surprised about that picture you are using here

its the banner of  Canton St. Gallen  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canton_of_St._Gallen)(switzerland)
note: a Canton is something like a state in the usa, just a bit *cough* smaller. its a part of the federal system in switzerland.

this banner displays a Fasces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces), witch has roots in the ancient roma culture (for more check the wikipedia-link).

it was aso used by the National Fascist Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Fascist_Party) in italy from 1921-1943.
i dont think this symbol is banned in italy (its a roman symbol and italy has quite some roman artefacts around), but i dont know that exactly.

but i dont know if the gouverment of St.Gallen will claim some copyrights if you want to use it^^ (i wont tell them;) )

i like the idea.. but if the image is a problem just find a different one..
concept wise i think it could get abused though.. make it ability doesnt stack?
if you have 6 ROL with that then u get +6 to all of them and just go stomping along with some big ROLs.

I specifically looked for images of fasces, because as the wiki article states: "they came to symbolizes summary power and jurisdiction, and/or 'strength through unity'" and I thought that one looked the best.

Too lazy to come up with another image at the moment.

Yes, in that scenario every RoL on the board would get +6 to their attack, but their health would remain at 1.  And if 1 of the exemplar RoLs died it would kill all RoLs on the board.  Even if the playing cost was halved that would not be OP.
