Cute idea, but I don't think this card would help much. Having a field full of 1|1 creatures just isn't viable...I would much rather have a 4|4 Creature than 4 1|1's, the exception being maybe using this as an alternative for RoL/hope; flooding luminescence and this card; other than that it just becomes otyugh food. Even for mutation fodder, there are just more fficient ways to do so.
Keep in mind that you probably wouldn't have a field full of 1|1 creatures. It's much more likely that if you had a field full of these things, you would have done so with SoP, which means their HP would be substantially higher than 1. You're also unable to give them luminescence without first lobotomizing them, otherwise this card would most certainly be OP when combined with hope.

THIS WILL BE THE MOST OP MONO :water EVAR
Flooding + SoP + Ice shield
With that combo all you're getting is a field full of heavyweights with 1 attack, but perhaps if you threw some other water creatures in there...


Any feedback or alternative art suggestions are greatly appreciated (also could really use someone able to make the orange background of the picture transparent).


How is this?
Spoiler for modified blob:
It's perfect. I've updated the original post with new art.

so its a slightly altered version of deja vu, with instead of it having a direct, intrinsic, finite divide mechanism, it is replaced by an indirect, extrinsic, less limited divide mechanism.  its not bad.

thematically, the upped name 'amorphous' seems like a misnomer, though. it always recoils down to 1 when altered, which is pretty much the opposite of undefined.  also, the word amorphous would fit almost entirely within the confines of entropy.  I like the basic's name, and if it were me, I would double up on that.  not very important, but if you end up making any other changes, its something to consider tossing in.

Love that background you found for the art. Works perfect against the water card back.

If this gets in, I'm gonna have to try out a new deck strategy: "Flood-Blob Rail-Squid"... (I can just hear that pirate singing the theme song now... You know the one I'm talking about :) ... after all, it does kina look like the top of an evil pineapple)

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?

I see where you're coming from with this. The idea behind the upgraded one being 'amorphous' was that while the unupgraded version is made of water (costs :water to create) and thus 'aqueous', the upgraded could be made from any element (costs :rainbow to create) and is simply a liquid blob of who-knows-what, hence the term 'amorphous'.

However, now that I think about it more, amorphous DOES seem to be a somewhat more fitting term for something related to entropy. Then again, entropy is the rainbow element (as strange as that sounds) and this is a rainbow creature in a way, as it's able to be played with any available quanta. So... I think I'll leave the name as it is for now, but if somebody can think of a better adjective, I may consider changing it again.

Also, in case anyone's interested, this is the wonderful game that inspired the name in the first place: http://www.kongregate.com/games/innocuousgames/amorphous

i had a thought about this- it would be cool if instead of the upgraded costing 0, it still cost 1, but started with 2 attack, and as such, would split as soon as it was played.
