ART: Robin Halioua IDEA: Pella NOTES: 1) Prevents both players from playing creature cards from their hands. 2) Prevents creature generation effects from any card or ability where the creature comes into play immediately. The obvious ones: - Boneyard | Graveyard - Chimera - Deja Vu | Elite Deja Vu - Fate Egg - Firefly Queen | Elite Queen - Flying Weapon | Animate Weapon - Mitosis - Nymph Queen | Water Nymph - Nymph's Tears - Parallel Universe | Twin Universe - Pharoah | Elite Pharoah - Shard of Integrity Just to be clear: - Aflatoxin - If an infected creature dies, no Malignant Cell is generated. - Malignant Cell - Cells already in play will remain in play without multiplying. - Phoenix | Minor Phoenix - Dies instead of turning to Ash. - Ash - Cannot become Phoenix | Minor Phoenix. - Graboid | Elite Graboid - Cannot evolve into Shrieker | Elite Shrieker. - Mummy | Elite Mummy - Reverse Time can be played, but has no effect. - Skeleton | Elite Skeleton - Reverse Time can be played, but has no effect. - Skull Shield | Skull Buckler - If an attacking creature dies, no Skeleton | Elite Skeleton is generated. - Chaos Seed - Can be played, but PU|TU will not happen. - Pandemonium - Can be played, but PU|TU will not happen. - Mutation | Improved Mutuation - Cannot be played. Turning the effect's 25% kill chance into a 100% chance would be too OP. 3)  Does not prevent effects which generate creatures that do not come into play, such as Fractal, Nightmare, Mindgate, card drawing effects, etc. 4)  Does not prevent alterations in stats or abilities to existing creatures, such as Growth, Acceleration | Overdrive, Quintessence, Lobotomize, etc. 5)  Does not prevent attacks.  Does not prevent death.  (I figured these were obvious, but hey, you never know.) ****************************** I put this in Light because it is one of only two elements that does not have a card or ability on the list in 2) above.  The other is Darkness, and both the art and the ability seem to fit better thematically with Light.
