Before you start asking, i will explain the reason why i found those in my HD, i have a friend with a some kind of rare love for pics of demons and beasts, and he requested those images like a year ago, for his book (yes, he write books, but just for hobby, not for profession XD) and today, when i was really bored, i started to investigate what i have in the 132GB used on the C disc, and found this, and at the moment i saw those pics, they inspired me to create these cards , hope you like them

Edit: Gramatical errors of cards and text fixed, and font cited

Interesting concept and mechanic.

Is there a specific reason why Cerberus and the demon hounds are different elements?

Oh- and welcome to the forum

What a surprise to see you here nico!
I like the way your cards work, it's the first time a card spawns creatures from another element  by sacrificing itself. Very nice.

But although i like the card art (cerberus in particular seems to fit the game aesthetics perfectly) Zanz can't use it if the original artist is not aware of it, so he needs to know where it came from. Otherwise it'd be some kind of art theft. Try to get the site, or at least the links, it'd help a lot.

About the cards itself, hm, they seem balanced, and the sacrifice>spawn mechanic is unique and fun... maybe the stats-cost relation could be improved a bit.
Oh, and the spelling XD.
Glad to have you here, bro

I THINK he tried to reinforce the already existent  /  synergy, but I won't speak for him

A few spelling errors that you should probably fix if you want it to get into the Crucible.

"Trinity: Sacrify this cart to generate 3 demon dogs"

Should be:

"Trinity: Sacrifice this card to generate 3 Demon Dogs"


"Last Day: if you use this ability demon dog triplicate his atack and die at the end of the turn"

Should be (also for conciseness):

"Last Day: Demon Dog triples its attack and dies at the end of the turn"


Aside from the spelling issues above, the card is a swell (but slightly overused) idea in terms of having creature split off/generated from another one. However, because it's an activated ability, the fact that it can be lobotomized or killed before you get the chance to split it makes it somewhat more interesting, especially since Cerberus can benefit from Eclipse.

thanks to all for the welcome

well, i did they from differents elements because if demon dogs be of darkness to affected by eclypse plus her ability will be a bit OP (or at least i think that), other reason is if the two cards will be of darkness, monodarkness decks will see a bit OP too, and the last reason is for the art, the demon dogs seems (for me) more like a some kind of mutated dog

P.D: post edited with fix on the cards and text grammatical, and links to the art added

Just a quick question on the Ability of Demon Dog. Is it active or passive. The way it looks is as a passive ability therefore I would class it as leaning towards the top end of the scale. If it is active then what is the cost of activating it if any.

I like the way it uses different Elements and I think you have a great idea.

Thanks

I like the idea but I really do think they should be the same element I can deal with trio rainbow and mono decks but duo decks hate me they never work

[ScytherLoL]

The advantage to this is it is not a true Duo, as you only need to play the Cerberus out.

Still I see your point as without these reversed would be an issue.

(Imagining a counter to these already..)

Thanks

[TheOwner]

Actually now that I think about it you would never need entropy sacrifice the Cerberus and tah-dah they're there where does need for entropy come into play (Don't say rewind)

[ScytherLoL]

Lol I had already said it.....

But yes this is a great card in a Mono as it allows the playing of one creature that if it gets close to dying you can spam it out.

One idea for healing would be to play one of these, Liquid Shadow it (You would then get 36 points of Helaing over 6 turns) on it's last turn scarifice it then you get 3 new creatures.

Just as a side note:

Momentum and Adrenaline both pass over to new summoned creatures. Would these pass over in this as well?

Thanks

Oh so sorry I misunderstood what you were saying I feel sad now

its an active ability with no acvitating cost, because when you use the ability then demon dog die in that turn

Just as a side note:

not, they not, because just imagine, you sacrifice cerberus whit adrenaline and momentum and if it passes to the demon dogs you will have a 3 creatures of 3 damage whit adrenaline doing 2 or 3 attacks per turn ignoring your shields, it will see a bit OP in that case :/ , at least i think that
