ART: public domain: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1107615 IDEA: moomoose NOTES: Effectively Nymphs Tears for Shards. When the shard turns out to be a spell, it's essentially a use it or lose it situation when a target selection is required.  And I hope for your sake you don't get a SoSac with insufficient HP.

Very good idea. I'll support this.

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,28841.0.html  <-- same. (I'm still waiting for the rest of the shards to come out.)

[moomoose]

pretty much, i like my idea better in both element and requiring a pillar, but yours was first.

[Zaealix]

Wouldn't Gift of Gaia work as well? Gaia=Mother Earth, or The Goddess of Earth.

I love this card, though the name of majofa's one fits way better.

[Essence]

me likey!

post your praise in majofa's thread, this card will never be submitted to level 1.  if he wishes to use the card art (which would require shifting the element most likely) he is more than welcome to (if only to justify the time i wasted on it haha).  but i suspect he is set on entropy.  and after he shifts his to require pillars to determine the shard generated, they are essentially the same card regardless of element/art/etc.

[majofa]

Yeah, sorry. My card was put on hold to wait for some more of the Shards to come out, so it could be balanced properly.

btw I love that art! A card definitely needs to be made from it. If I think of anything I'll let you know.

I support Gift of Gaia. We need more greek mythology in Elements!

how about these potential replacement ideas:
turns the target creature's fists to stone, giving them a chance to destroy the opponent's shield after each attack
target creature is impervious to death for 2 turns (3 turns upgraded)
target creature is immune to negative status effects and gains +2|+2
target creature becomes a permanent (retains attack and abilities)
target creature gains +1|+1 (+2|+2 upgraded) for each burrowed creature in play
target shield gains +1 (+2 upgraded) damage reduction

I like the first. Kind of momentum for Earth, situationally better, situationally worse. Synergises very well with Burrow, might even be a good reason tu burrow Antlions.
