I do not disagree with you on the stats, but if you tu a chimera with vampire, you still get chimera stats with the vampire ability, why should the enemy get a larger vampire than me for less cost?

I haven't had an opponent TU again yet so I cannot prove it with a screen shot, but please,LD a chimera and have your opponent tu your chimera and see what happens.

Yes, the TU took the vampire ability, but the stats were determined by the creatures on my side of the board.  So, if your opponent TU's your vamp Chimera and has larger stats, it's because they had creatures with a higher sum of stats on their side--and they had to pay for those creatures.

I use http://elementsthegame.com/trainer for testing with quata x100.  Nightmare allows you to put a creature in the opponent's hand, so I just had to go through the AI until I found one with Gravity quanta.

I Still say the chimera is underpowered sinceunless you can tu/Parallel it as there are so many single creature elimination methods....

reverse time, max demon, mutation, antimatter, freeze, basilsk blood, petrify, infection

add that to the gravity pull already on it, and what this card really does is allow your enemy to get rid of all of your creatures in maybe one to two rnds, at a cost of 8 quatum from you...

why would you play this card?
It is a way of mass momentuming all your creatures (high reward) with a built-in high cost (only one creature to target and gravity pull).  As it appears you have been using it, it also serves as mass vampirism.  If you are not using it as a finishing move against Phase, Dissipation, Hope, Bone Wall, then you have to carry Quintessence and another creature to cast Gravity Pull on in order for it to survive more than 1 or 2 turns.
