[Official] Flooding | Inundation

[Rutarete]

perhaps make it so that nothing can be played that would go in the top and bottom rows for a turn or so. It takes some time to recover from a flood

Except that's just basically the effect that was it has now over a shorter period of time. Unless by "top" u mean permanents, which would be interesting.

I didn't mean just a one time thing- it would keep resetting. And yes that would be interesting.

Still the major problem is the area it affects, so I still don't like that effect. My favorite is the slow impending flood from last page. My effect

only affect opponent's field.

I like this idea!

How about the effect isn't instantly there for the upper and lower row, but instead it will grow in size - maybe just like afflotoxin - with the potential to fill the whole friggin board - unless stopped of course?

At least this sounds pretty dangerous to me.

look back a couple of pages, this idea has been suggested over and over again...

What about a total restyling?

Of course this card needs a buff. It's just that I can't think of a good one.

[The_Mormegil]

The card has potential. It just lacks synergy. Look at Dark Kraken (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21004.0.html) to see what I mean. That alone would probably make this worth its card slot.

Inundation should have creatures underwater untargetable? Dunno if that's been suggested before >.>"

This even if it has been suggested before (idk) is a good buff.
Cards should be worthwhile on their own or with a large number of other cards (animate weapon).
As such synergy is not the answer buffing the original card is.

There are two ways to buff the original card either a direct buff like funerallaughter's idea or altering the metagame such that this card becomes much more useful as creature control.

I like the idea of either flooding the entire field and everything slowly drowning or the insta-death flood that slowly creeps up the field.  I'd definitely use the card if it was changed to either of these effects.

[killybob]

maybe it could still kill but every turn it effects different, random, parts of the field.
