Shard of Wisdom | Shard of Wisdom

The problem I find with this card is that you MUST have  to play it, which takes out the whole most-decks-can-use-it thing. Maybe allow it to buff any creature, but only quinted creatures getspell damage and +4 while any non-quinted creatures simply get +2?

Actually I like your idea. It could see use in decks that want to use doubling cards (like PU, Deja Vu or Dive-creatures), but without a second element.

Hmmm... I haven't thought about that, but what I really want is to make  usage not strictly necessary.

How about use on a non-quint creature only gives it spell damage? Without the +4 atk

No. Momentum would be useless.

No. Momentum would be useless.

Actually, I think it's a good idea for the following reasons:
-it's called Shard of Wisdom, and spell damage is more appropriate to the wisdom theme than the buff.
-more decks using spell damage will rise (it would increase the meta)
-and so it would buff reflecting shields, increasing its use.
-momentum would still be more powerful, since it cannot be reflected, only lobotomized. Also, shard of wisdom costs 3|1 , momentum costs 2|1 . Since SoW wouldn't grant a buff for non-quinted creatures (while momentum always give a buff), momentum still maintain its use. It's better when you have access to gravity quanta and don't use immortal/quinted creatures.

Ah. Somehow forgot momentum gives +1/+1.

Ah. Forgot momentum costs less and gives +1/+1 lol.

Also, as of note.  If SoW doesn't require a quinted creature, it makes the mirror shield so much stronger.  It's basically the same as Pu-ing the opponents creature and then killing (2 card combo), but for 2 +1 .

But if they're not quinted, i bet you can lobotomize spell damage. So it's powerful but not op.

I didn't think about the possibility of using it on Opp. Creatures when I made my suggestion. Now it reminds me of another thread here, before the card was revised, anyway.

"Venom" on hit ability isn't used when SoWed. (ie flying quinted arsenics on which you use shard of wisdom won't deal anymore poison counters. Might want to check for other on hit abilities).

Vampiric and neurotoxin creatures with SoW won't proc their abilities, either.  Not sure about anything else.
