1.0 Some Things You Want To Know
I did not make this series! I'm just helping twinsbuster. That is all

The original idea of the developer is to create a element for each zodiac
at the momentment you can see the representing Zodiac of each element in the oracle.
I would like to enchant this idea and I'm now working on a series of every Zodiac creatures.
all these creatures will be rare cards.

Anyways, onto some serious reviewing.

Capricorn - Odd that its in the :entropy element, but does still seem fitting. Its the creature form of Discord. Its okay.

Sagitaurus - Again, odd :time placement, but still fits. Again, creature form of Owls Eye but with cheaper ability cost, but balanced by -4 attack power and its a duo-element card.  :time+ :air...Who whudda thunk it?

Gemini - This one fits greatly with :aether, seeing the FG Gemini being aether/gravity duo. It seems like a 4|? Deja Vu, but not too UP or OP with cost balance and cross elements (:time+ :aether)

Taurus - Fits well with :earth, although it is kind of pun-ish. Mess with the bull, you get the horns...eh? Its like punching a Biker in the face and making him mad XD. But seriously, seems like a great card, but mixed with :fire can be deadly. Think. Earth/Fire duo, do basalisk blood on Taurus, Then rage potion it a few times... Thats +14|-12 for 2 upped rage pots. Then with light it can be healed. But still, with the crossing of elements, balancing with costs and the fact that something like that would take a few turns to build up can could be foiled, this card remains balanced. Definitly the most interesting of them all.

Pisces - First thing I noticed? Typo. "Target creature become the color of your mark"..
Try 'becomes' next time? Also, would be better to put the ability name in the card. Incase nobody reads the notes below the card, the ability is called 'dye'. This card may be the only one that presents itself to me as unbalanced, as it is almost useless. The ability is either pointless, or OP. If chaning the 'color' changes the ability cost, then it may be a bit op because 6 immaterial Pisces = cripples Otyugh, FFQ, or other cards that rely on their abilites for usefulness. However, this card could be also used as a super self-booster. Water/aether. Mark is water. PU enemy creatures, dye them, and use them as a weapon. Not a bad card idea, just seems odd to me. Its okay, I guess..

Aquarius - Another odd name to be fit in its element, :air. This card to me is screaming 'Epic'. Its a revammped purify that can work on creatures, players, and can fix more than just poison. Its balance is in its costs (3 :air to play, 3 :water to use), and its cross-element balance. Another good card.

Virgo - Very nice choice with :light, as it and its ability come off to me as holy. Virgo, being what comes to most people as a 'goddess', is like the Holy Virgin Mary, but less religious. Nothing more to say other than...Great card :D!

Aries - A cool card, and fits well with the cross elemental balance of :life and :earth with enchant. The art of the 'Nymph Zodiac Figures' are cool but this one cought my eye..
Why is there a goat behind her? XD. If shes 'flying', or so the picture seems, you may want to edit out Mr. Goat. Great card, but that art is Baaaaaaaaaaad. Yes, that pun was intended.

Leo - Really dissapointing. You completely ruin the series on this :fire card. It is massivley underpowered and is useless against any shield that blocks 1 damage. Without momentum, this card get an uber seal of failure. What a series ruiner.
**EDIT**
With the new ability, I think this card is a great fix over the old 2|5 creature. Thanks, twin.

Scorpio - Through my angry outrage at the UnderPoweredNess of Leo, this :death card made me smile. At first, I was shaky, but then I calmed down and saw past my stupidity that it has the Upped Puffer Fish ability, AND the Unupped Puffer Fish ability. It adds +1 poison counter per successful attack and can slash poison onto the creatures of the field. This card may seem to be a classic :death generic, but its uniqueness comes with its power and rarity, because although its attack | hp isnt 10|10 or anything, it still has its way of pwning.

Libra - For :gravity, It doesnt make sense tohave paradox, but still a nice card. Its decent with the -1 quanta +1 life per turn thing, but that is underpowered without paradox. A nice balance, and for that nice pest and 1|1 vampire ability with paradox and 3 (4) attack, its a great combo.

Cancer - I like the idea of the 'Power is Blind' thing, doing 8 damage, growing 2, and missing half the time, its a nice balance. Although, I am worried about this going against a dusk shield, because the percentage variables would overlap, making the missing percentile 100%. Maybe you should make it surpass shields (Momentum).

Overall, this series is a great rare card series. Unfortunately, you must finish the series before I can fairly judge you. And on the down low, you should make Leo a fire card (Thats Leo's element) and Scorpio poison (Do I really have to explain why?). As for Darkness and Gravity...Thats a tough one.

*****EDIT*****
With the recent failure of Leo, and the greatness of Scorpio, it makes me change my '..is a great rare card series..' to a '...is a decent rare card series...'. Hopefully your open to change on Leo, and I cant fairly judge, as I said before, until this series is finished in full. Meaning no more edits, no more cards, just a nice list of pretty little cards :)
****(Final?)EDIT****
With a last minute leo-fix, a finished series like this should have much potential to succeed. Don't get your hopes up, though, because my word isn't, by far, enough. 10/10 from me!

**************



Heres the elements you missed and what I think fits best:

:gravity Libra. Its sign is the Scales, so balance...weight...ect.
:fire Leo. Its the element and its sign is lion. Whats more vicious than that?
:darkness Cancer. Mostly for the fact that its stone is Moonstone, and its 'Life Pursuit' is consistence and intamacy.
:death Scorpio. Scorpian sign, poison venom, you know the drill :D

Why is Aries (a goat) a Nymph?

Then there are missing:

Libra
Leo
Cancer
Scorpio


I suggest to make

Scorpio = Death
Leo = Fire
Libra = Gravity
Cancer = Darkness


And Zac,

Air signs: Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
Water signs: Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer
Fire Signs: Sagittarius, Aries, Leo
Earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo

(If I ain't wrong)

Thats why its so weird..
Why do some elements get their natural elements and others dont? What made him pick that element for them? Instinct? Another form of mottivation? Or just did the name sound cooler as a card for that element? Maybe the art looked cool for that card? Who knows? :P
