ART: Spore, vrt (both in game already) IDEA: Xenocidius NOTES: "There should be consequences for trying to bring harm to Life's creatures." - willng3 Fungus is an anti-CC attacker, but it goes deeper than that. Its passive ability, 'nocturnal', lets it be affected by Nightfall as if it were a Death or Darkness creature. This opens up some Life synergy with Darkness. Additionally, it can work very nicely alongside things like Immolation, Catapult and Empathic Bond. 'Spores', which lets it release spores, is an active ability that can be removed. SERIES:

Good anti CC for Life. It maintains the Growth theme even in death.

immolation decks with this would be rather... powerful.  not sure if 'over' powered, but seems to be teetering on the edge when it costs 0 for the immolation, produces 3 spores which can be turned into 3 new ones, all affected by nightfall in a duo.

also it seems a bit... odd to have an upon death effect in and it overshadows phoenix's mechanic by ~3x, and acts as a fast action 3 turn semi-instant mitosis

Looks fun to test

[Mimzy]

So I'm ass-u-ming that it would be similar to a malignant cell outcome, but controllable? Also I love the idea, I like the  elements but I always thought it was underpowered.

Nice suggestion for life, would make people especially wary of using mass CC

Not sure about the balance but you might want to give the spores a small chance to fall on the opponents side. like 25-30% for example. that way you can keep the fungus strong but it wont necessarily outclass pheonix.

There is summoning sickness on spores (e.g. if I immolate a fungus, do I have to wait a turn to regrow), or not?

You'll probably have to wait a turn, just like how you'd need to wait a turn after immolating a phoenix.

I feel that this would be a nice addition to the amount of cards that can swarm, like pharaoh and ffq.  But 3 spores after dying might be too much. Maybe 2?

[Camoninja]

Interesting combo with flooding and mitosis.

I love this card, I hope it gets into the game asap. The spawn skill might need 2 quant instead of one so it doesn't feel OP, but I really like this card.
