Broken Mirror | Eldritch Mirror

[elementarinous]

This seems overpowered to me too.

Phantoms need to be weaker.

And the ability to respond to the enemy's creature with a phantom can't be so automatic. Perhaps if it had some kind of aether cost.

[Chapuz]

Ability needs to be: " Broken mirror. Plays a phantom for every creature played by your oponent in the next turn." And of course, phantoms nor immaterial.

Except that would make it useless, people would withhold there creatures.

I'm assuming you could use this suggested ability once per turn, so it'd be like vs. Eternity.
In response to the original suggestion, why not just give it an upkeep like flooding?

So a card that makes your oponent don't play creatures is useless?
I would use it in a GoP + Nightmare + Silence deck, but it would be definitely a good card the way I said.

cool card, a spell that generates creatures

Despite proposing a possibly unstable trio deck concept, Chapuz has hit the nail on the head.  This is a deterrent, a passive counter (an active counter to creatures would be something that removes creatures from the field, or deals equal damage back while ignoring shields).  It is worthless against creatureless decks, and weak against stalls - in fact, the immaterial nature of the creatures it generates is a two-edged sword, since it's providing creatures you can't do anything but attack with.  They can't be mutated, duplicated, momentum'd, blessed, whatever.

What I'd like to see if this were introduced ingame is an off-element card that plays a creature of some kind on your opponent's side of the field.  It would take a while to set up, and wouldn't be an impossible offense to block, but it would rival Growth/Ablaze in terms of creeping power.

Pretty overpowered by the looks of it.

I'm curious what the averagely played creature strength is in most decks. I'm guessing around or below 4. Get 2-3 down and it's game over, especially if combined with eternity on opponents current creatures.

[AnimationX]

This + Nightmare + Photon + 1 Reduction shield would make a fun AI abusing deck.

[superbeast]

My favorite concept in the Forge for the time being. Needs changes, I think, though. I'd agree with Chapuz about making the ability cost 1  , also the Phantoms as standalone cards need changes; Both should cost maybe 4  and also, Elite Phantom should have 4|1 stats, I'd say.

Interesting card, but maybe to hard with inmaterial :S this skull might be terrible on rainbow deck! Maybe make it a bit more expensive?
