[Official] Abomination | Micro Abomination

It might be a bad idea to buff the stats as this is also a side-effect from Mutation. Lowering the cost would also cause a powercreep, too (compare to gravity and earth beatsticks). If it really needs a buff, I'd just raise its HP to 6, at most.

Though I liked the idea of making it produce a superior mutant even when targeted by an unupped mutation. I wonder where I found that suggestion...

The upped version doesn't need a buff either. 1  for 2/4 is a pretty good deal, and more efficient than 5 for 5/5. The card is balanced, upped and unupped. I see no reason to change it.

Upped is actually 2|6, which means it survives a lightning or a rage pot

Er... whut? No it's 2|4. Unless Zanz released a new patch update within yesterday...

Sorry, that means I've been playing oEtG too much.

Abom is used plenty. No reason to change it for balance reasons. It's boring though; I've always thought it could use a Mutation bonus, but nothing that'll make it way stronger. Maybe just change the Mutation odds to 0% death, 20% Abom, 80% mutant (or even 0% Abom, 100% mutant). Would mostly help Fallen Elf decks, but also Mutation+PU rushes.

Totally agree with this.

Problem is, is a totally different element than . needs its extra hp to compete with the rest while is probably the most versatile element in mixed meta (mixed=both upped & unupped).

Micro Abomination exists for Fallen duos, much like Cat exists for  duos.
Let's say you make a deck, containing many goodies like Adrenaline, Mitosis, Bonds etc. as well as goodies like BE, Antimatter etc.  The combo is to spam as many Aboms as possible and mutate them even further with Elves/Druids. What kind of Abomination would you like to have in this case? The unupped one which takes 5 to mitosise itself or the upped one which has sweet Adren spot, sweet BE spot, a cost of 1 that is easy to mitosise and heal yourself with bonds as well as being durable enough to withstand most CCs (unlike Photons that everything kills them)? Moreover, Fallen Elf (or Druid) & Micro & Mitosis = unupped Abomination (or superior mutant) spamming just for 1 & 1 quanta.

Buffing the card, Micro Abomination anyway, would make the False God (can't remember the name) that Fractals them even more powerful, which is something we don't really need in the first place.

The fact that buffing the card would make 1 False God more powerful out of the 29 is less important than the fact that the card would be more useful in general - especially so since that FG could be rebalanced

No single FG uses Fractals on them. You might think about Fractal Minor Phoenix (Eternal Phoenix) or Fractal Pest (Decay).
The only FG uses them is Dream Catcher, who combines them with Butterfly Effect.
