ART: Annele, and wikipedia. IDEA: Annele NOTES: NAME: Parchment ELEMENT: Gravity COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Each turn, a creature may gain +0/+3. NAME: Story ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: Each turn, a creature may gain a random ability. Spoiler for fail backstory; I’m saving my talent for Brawl: Once upon a time, there lived Astasia, one of the wisest Aether Elemental to ever live. One day, Astasia decided to leave the sanctuary of Etheria, and explore the world to gain knowledge of the other elements. She decided to visit the Gravity Basin first; they were fans of law and order like her. Disguised in a fat suit, Astasia travelled through the Land of Gravity, learning much. She liked the way they had rules in place, everything had to follow a certain order. Next Astasia visited the Forest of Life. This is where she learned to create creatures, berthing the very life into them. Using this knowledge, combined with the knowledge of order she acquired from the Gravity Elementals, she created a daughter in her image, one with great practicality and the ability to benefit surrounding creatures. Astasia took these creatures, who call themselves ‘Anneles’, to the Chaos Triad, believing it to be beneficial to travel out of one’s comfort zones sometimes. During this, some of her Anneles wandered away and mingled with a herd of abominations. They returned to Astasia far less practical, and with an imagination; still able to benefit surrounding creatures, but in a more creative way. Deciding to stop the Anneles and Elite Anneles before they got out of control in other lands, Astasia brought her creations back to Etheria before continuing her journey. The Anneles thrived there, sharing their secret with the Elementals they met, and supporting them in battle. Spoiler for how it relates to me (262 words): I pride myself with my brain, especially my practicality, and my imagination. Personally, I find that my imagination is better than my practicality though, so that is why the upgraded me creates a story, rather than a parchment. How practicality ties in: Well, I'm a card curator. I know what needs to be done, when. Well, I do some times. This is why it can benefit the opponent too. Unless you're using a gravity shield that is. And then imagination: This is a biggie. I don't know if I have expressed it much yet here, but I have a big imagination. (Sometimes it goes too far ) And I not only enjoy my own creativity, but the creativity of others as well. Probably also why I am a curator. My reasoning for my choice of elements: Aether can represent wisdom and knowledge. I am quite smart, not as smart as others on this forum, but more so than some idiots I could mention. Gravity can represent law and order. I find that Parchment is like a legal document, creating a law that creatures fighting may gain health. Also, my current personal text is "Writer of Law", so that ties in quite nicely Entropy represents randomness, but also creativity. Creativity in exploring new genres, new actions, and new abilities. I find this fits quite well with Story, and Story fits quite well with me. Over all, I believe that this card is a great summary of the personal I have created here, on this forum, basically because it represents my brain and my position. Chance for Parchment/Story to work is 75%, if it works there is a 60% chance they effect one of your creatures, 40% the opponent's. So, a 45% chance to effect one of your creatures, 30% chance to affect the opponent's, and 25% chance to not work at all. This may need balancing. Story can replace the current ability (so Elite Annele could gain a random ability in place of Write if she's effected). The cost will be that of the creature in question. The abilities available are those available to mutants. SERIES:

[Chapuz]

Random ability... isn't that a bit like my Seal of Chapuz?

[Annele]

Random ability... isn't that a bit like my Seal of Chapuz?

No, I don't think so, because Seal of Chapuz grants the target creature a random status buff. This is very different from a random ability. Yours can cast RP on a creature, for example, but Story can give the creature the ability to burrow. Huge difference. Also, yours is a targeting ability, Story's is passive. Yours requires a quantum boost for a guarantee to target a creature. Story is passive, may benefit the opponent, and may not even work at all.

I believe the are sufficiently different enough.

Yep, I saw it wrong in my fast watch. Sorry

Nah, s'all good. Do you have any comments on the balance? I'm afraid it might be OP.

As you said, this card has a chance of being better for the oponent than for yourself. Therefore, it's not OP.

Actually, it would need a rainbow with much CC to work well.

I am fairly confident that the repeated effect is individually weak enough to not be OP.

Are the casting cost and stats of Annele balanced?

I don't know.

The value of the slow mass anti lethal CC of the unupped is hard to judge. I think it comes slow enough in small enough packets that it will not be OP.
Upgraded it constantly slowly changes the skills available. The extent of the versatility gained is hard to judge.

I am reasonably confident that it is either balanced or UP. At worst it is an UP fun card. At best it is a balanced fun card.

I can leave Annele at 13hp? Yay, I was hoping so.
Do you think the chances for the ability to activate are balanced?



I think unupped, it has the most synergy with Gravity shield, and upped it has a lot of synergy with vanilla creatures, especially ones with high attack.

The balance variables of a card have a hierarchy based upon the ease and precision that can be used to balance a card. The order is dependent on the card in question.

Like using a microscope, the less precise dials are locked first when balancing a card. In this case the hp is a very imprecise balance tool so it is locked before most of the other variables like cost or chance. Regardless of the balance of Annele you could leave the hp at 13 and use other more precise dials to fine tune the balance. Chance is probably the most precise of the dials and thus will share the same balance state as the entire card.
