Byakko | Byakko

With the success of Seiryuu (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21677.0.html) and the popularity of Genbu (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29433.0.html) and Suzaku (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,30203.0.html) I figure I'd start work on the 4th card of the set.

So now I present... Byakko

NAME: Byakko ELEMENT: Light COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 7|2 TEXT: When Byakko attacks, if any damage is blocked, increase your maximum HP by that amount.	NAME: Byakko ELEMENT: Light COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 9|2 TEXT: When Byakko attacks, if any damage is blocked, increase your maximum HP by that amount.

ART: Art by Vyrilien (http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=gallery%3Avyrilien%2F8839811#/d17pj2m) IDEA: majofa NOTES: The effect works the same as using Shard of Divinity... increasing your HP and maximum HP. This effect works whenever damage is prevented. For damage reduction shields, the damage prevented adds to your maximum HP. In the case of 'stop all' shields like Bone Wall and Dimensional Shield since all the damage is prevented, you would gain maximum HP equal to Byakko's attack. This is also the case for Fog Shield and Dusk Mantle, if Byakko 'misses' you gain maximum HP equal to Byakko's attack. This ability doesn't trigger with Sundial in play. For Gravity Pull, Byakko is still doing damage, so it doesn't work there either. If Byakko has a negative attack, the ability is negated. The ability is an active ability (can be lobotomized) named: Virtue. During the Han Dynasty, people believed the tiger to be the king of all beasts. Legend had it that when a tiger reached 500 years old, its tail would turn white. In this way, the white tiger became a mythological creature. It was said that the white tiger would only appear when the emperor ruled with absolute virtue, or if there was peace throughout the world. Because the color white of the Chinese five elements also represents the west, the white tiger thus became a mythological guardian of the west. Props also to Jen-i and the Elements Chat for help with the cool ideas. SERIES:

In case it matters, I place my vote for anything that includes a "metal" or "death" mechanic.

I like the original mechanic, but don't see how it fits Byakko.

ooooohhhh... the master of is trying to beef up RoL + Hope 's already terrifying potential 

nice idea, i love how its HP < 5, light needs moar glasscannons  8) 8) 8)

[darkrobe]

after sleep i think it is slightly too cheap. you may want to bumb the price up a tad. that skill is pretty good.

[The_Mormegil]

Underpriced. Its low hp are not enough to justify a free skill plus a -1 cost reduction. I think a cost of 8 | 8 is more appropriate.

I like the picture very much
