Aether nymph should ressurect the dead? xDxDxD
Give it something cool like a fractal or PU ability. :P
Fractal is in the 'nerf this card' section for a reason! Don't give to creatures like you'd give a child pencils and a peice of paper.
Parallel Universe is fine alone, but a reccuring dejavu for the nymph is just wrong.
Turn 1 - 1 nymph
        2 - 2 nymphs
        3 - 4 nymphs 
You see where this goes? and with 7/8 attack that is no laughing matter.
"my" PU nymph doesn't have 7/8 attack, it has 1 (and the same 2 lifes). therefore PUing it would only let you PU more than once per turn, but wouldn't give you an edge at attacking unless you had a very strong non- :aether card in play. so you must have a LOT of :aether quanta (since you need 4 per turn per nymph), you have to protect your nymph since it's very fragile (and if you quint, you can't PU itself), and you must have another quantum in your deck for you to actually use the nymph. with so many drawbacks, I don't think it's overpowered.

Nah, PU is actually super strong if it could be used multiple times, especially since it depends on the creatures in the field. You could essentially have 10 creatures with over 20 attack just for 40 :aether. The standalone card itself isn't so strong, but the ability to give multiples of each creature gives you ridiculous field advantage. And that is why "my" nymph dies eventually after creating a few copies. ;)

well, you COULD create a hell of an army with something as simple as aflatoxin + fallen druid. and the druid costs 5 :entropy to play and 1 :life to mutate and has a stable 3/3 stats. there's the random factor, but IMO it's as overpowered as having a 9 :aether 1/2 card with a 4 :aether PU ability. you need to:

a) spend 9 :aether to play it
b) spend probably something around 10 non- :aether quanta to play a really strong card
c) spend 4 :aether per turn to duplicate it (or the nymph)
d) hope your opponent doesn't have an offensive shield, oty/scarabs, antimatter, aflatoxin/parasite, owls eye, shockwave, lightning, lobotomize or even quint.

maybe it should have 1/1 stats and 1/2 when upgraded, like the nymph queen, but I still don't think it's impossible to have a PU nymph (we have an antimatter nymph, don't we?)

Mmm alfatoxin costs 6 :death, fallen druid 5 :entropy, ability costs 1 :life, and theres no guarrantee that you'd get a high attack creature, an especially low chance too. 3 elements, with alfatoxin taking a long time to set up.

the nymph would cost 9 :aether, the ability would cost 4 :aether and you'd need a very expensive card from another 'color'. it's one less color and no random, but a lot more quanta...

No. PU works on opponent creatures too. And three elements is usually much harder to set up than just one.

1 :life is not really that hard to obtain... it's quite easier than 4 :aether. and even with the possibility to PU my opponent, I'd still keep my current strategy (mutate then antimatter) over this =P

Thats because you use a rainbow deck. An aether deck would make the nymph's abolity too overpowered. :P

What he said. Throw them down together and it's impossible to kill without specific shields.

I also like the current ability as you can use it on opponents creatures (especially useful when I've faced voodoo decks. What use is it if they can't use pandemonium, gravity pull, basilisk blood, etc on it)
