I found this image while poking around on Flickr. (Posted it in the other Banshee thread too.)

i think i find this card pretty much balanced.. although the upped banshee's mourn does -2/-2, its hp is only at 3, still vulnerable to good CC's like eagle's eye... nice card idea..

and i like the concept.. very original.. :)

Unupped image is broken.

Yes, I'm aware of that, sorry about it. I'll need to extract some files from my old HD, as I don't have a copy of it anymore on this comp, and I'd prefer to keep the resolution of the original edited image. Yet I have some technical difficulities starting it up, and there is even a small chance that the said drive is completely dead..  I'll re-upload as soon as I'll have enough time to eviscerate both computers.

I like the principle of the card and it has a nice background image, but not so sure about the use of the plant image of forest spirit. I think a Banshee should have its own image that is more ominous and they are typically portrayed as women ghosts in the style of "the scream".

I found Elements having its own interpretation of spirits, and the two that are currently in game seem to have quite similar.. anatomy (Interestingly, Fire spirit is having wing-shaped 'fins', which I find odd.. ). I figured that the inverted color scheme of a Forest Spirit would fit well with the inverted mechanics of an 'Undead' Spirit. It was also an easy and quick way to make it copyright-legal for the competition..

Spoiler for Fire Spirit:

Another person disliked this card being a death card and I thought of aether (and maybe entropy due to antimatter). It is in essence an anti-forest spirit and I though of an alternate universe where things are backwards. This opens up the possibility of anti-cards and reminds me of the void series (sorry that I can't remember who started that series). For this reason I am seriously in favor of this card being added, but under the element aether or entropy.
