NAME: Turquoise Stone ELEMENT: Aether COST: 5 :aether TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: All Sparks gain +0/+1 while Turquoise Stone is in play. :aether :aether : Turquoise Stone becomes a copy of target.	NAME: Turquoise Gem ELEMENT: Aether COST: 4 :aether TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 0|2 TEXT: All Ball Lightnings gain +0/+1 while Turquoise Gem is in play. :aether :aether : Turquoise Gem becomes a copy of target.

ART: Jacob Philpott (Ajit),  original photo part of the public domain IDEA: Ajit, Kamietsu NOTES: - Boosts towards Sparks/Ball Lightnings are cumulative - Boosts only last as long as Turquoise Stone/Gem is on the field. - Sparks/Ball Lightnings will obviously die if their HP goes back down to 0 - Ability works like Parallel Universe Changes: - Changed ability from removing Immaterial to a Parallel Universe effect SERIES: Gem Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16740.0.html)

I'd change the remove immaterial ability. even with the +5/+5 to the creature. Instead, I'd make it have a Parallel Universe effect. Something like:  :aether :aether: Turn into target creature.

Ohh thanks for the idea, now I have some deciding to do.  Any particular reason why you would prefer a Parallel Universe effect over the current?

Immaterial shoudl always stay immaterial. That's why i dislike un-immaterialing creatures. A creature that has the same effect as a PU just sounds like an interesting concept. That way, you get a useful card while in play, and when you could play a PU, you already have a card that can turn into that creature. It's like a PU but a bit more powerful, yet not making PU obsolete, since not every deck with PU uses sparks.

Who would hate playing against fractal graboids?

Many people. However this card does not affect burrowed creatures, only immaterial creatures.

So I do really like Kamietsu's suggestion about Parallel Universe being the ability, but can't decide, should I replace the current ability?  I'll throw up a poll.

Alright cool, looking at the poll, I've decided to change it to a PU effect  ::)

Thanks Kamietsu I'll add you to the card creators.

Q: Can you use this on non-shield/weapon permanents?

Title: Re: Turquoise Stone | Turquoise Gem
Post by: Ajit on December 07, 2010, 12:32:57 am

I envisioned it to follow the same pattern as Parallel Universe, so no, as of right now it only works on creatures.

I think this one is ready for submission.

I was just curious if anyone did mention the 'OPness of living Ball Lightnings' here, that I have been forced to face with a different idea. But it seems it's not that significant, so my doubts have been dissipated :]

Anyway, I love your gem series, hope they'll make it someday in the game, but I'm just wondering: why are they creatures? Permanent would fit more in my mind. (They'd even deserve a slot next to the shield and weapon..)

Its an idea for sure, they don't need to be creatures, but that's what I decided to run with when first creating the series.  I'd be glad if they got implemented into the game regardless of in which form.

I'm rather weary of fractal ball lightnings personally.

Title: Re: Turquoise Stone | Turquoise Gem
Post by: Ajit on January 29, 2011, 05:09:44 pm

A reasonable state or weariness.

Perhaps... Perhaps I should remove its active ability and replace it with an upkeep cost.  But then the stone is worthless by itself and basically limits it to one strategy.

Maybe instead of giving +0|+1, it could instead give momentum?

Or, if that is too UP, compared to the current version +1|+0 and momentum?

That would seem like a good compromise.

fractal ball lightning?
that would be awesome with this card.

could possibly be OP in combination with quint (this card will be indestructable, as it has 0 attack, so no shield damage), fractal, dim shields, and BLs
the damage gets up fast, and you can protect your self from damage as well, AND there aren't too many mass CC right now

Fractak Blights = yay I like this combo better than phase dragons.

Is it just me, or is this going to make fractalized ball lightnings very scary?  :D
