[Official] Mitosis | Mitosis

is this really balanced, compared to fractal? the only situation I see mitosis being superior to fractal in (even if mitosis is half the cost of fractal) is with horned frogs and possibly cockatrice (since adrenaline on horned frog typically is better than cockatrice). The wait to use this is pretty bad, and it removes the ability from creatures, where as for fractal, even though you need to have an otherwise empty hand, you don't have to wait to use the ability. Unless you have quintessence and mitosis to use on it, its not really gonna do much of anything if the enemy has a higher HP otyough, a couple lightnings, or a reverse time, worse yet.

mono life with empathy bonds man.

[seulintse]

yeah, but the turns to wait is quite a lot... FFQ decks tend to kinda overshadow mono-life.

while I wouldn't mind seeing it go to 1 less cost, keep in mind mitosis on a time creature with a shard of readiness: instant three dragons or GotP or even scarabs. Plus another free creature every turn afterward. It can be a pretty powerful card.

True, but that's more the Power of the Shard than of Mitosis.

Not saying Mitosis is weak at all, it can perform some pretty nice combos.

3 creatures for 3 cards. Not super amazing. There is a reason mito-ghosts/dragons aren't exactly top end decks.

[seulintse]

the silurian dragon-SoR-mitosis combo is powerful due more to the power of SoR itself, rather than mitosis. And also, casting sickness doesn't apply to using SoR... yeah. Granted, if you're gonna use mitosis, people tend to cast it after the card has already been out for sometime, but... you're much more likely to get steam rolled by CC if you rely on mitosis than if you rely on more copies of the card.

ok, ok I see your point. what would be the problem with a more extreme jump in cost reduction, like 3/2. you would still have to use the ability to summon another creature so its not really that much faster. maybe just makes the card more splash-able.
