Squall | Tempest

NAME: Squall ELEMENT: Air COST: 2 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: All your Airborne Creatures gain "Air" as a passive skill for this turn only.	NAME: Tempest ELEMENT: Air COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: All your Airborne Creatures gain "Air" as a passive skill for this turn only.   : Hasten

ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1156041 IDEA: EvaRia NOTES: Air is Damselfly's ability (Generate 1 per turn). This will be passive, so all other abilities can still be used. The upped version acts in a similar way as sundial (Next turn lets you use ability and then disappears). SERIES: Card Design Competition: The MASH-UP (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16215.0.html)

See what I did there? 

This is basically the alternative to my Tailwind card that I made.
I think Air deserves a bit more speed, and either this or Tailwind was the way to go.

K, X, Y or Z....I don't see either.

K, X, Y or Z....I don't see either.

*Requirements (you MUST fulfill two of the following requirements for your idea to be allowed into the votes):

• One of your cards MUST start with one of the letters: K, X, Y, or Z
• If your card is a Creature, it must be one of these elements: , , , ,
• If your card is a Permanent, it must be one of these elements ( , , , )
• If your card is a Spell, it must be one of these elements ( , , )

I fulfill both the permanent AND spell requirements, and 2 is enough

Yeah. The real question is if a spell change in an upgrade is legitimate. There might not be a specific rule barring it, but it's also been convention that each card always upgrades to the same type.

That being said, I'm not sure it's possible for a "temporary" or "passive" overwrite, since it may end up overwriting other passives, which would make it less temporary. There's no problem with the concept past that, but it could much more effectively be done in a spell that says "Gain 1 air for each creature". This method of doing it seems a bit unnecessarily overcomplicated, and that seems to match the sundial mechanism more effectively in a permanent style.

Points for the way of meeting requirements, but after doing that, I can't really see any benefit to the actual cards from it.

Very clever.

As for the card... perhaps make it more like luciferin? That is, all airborne creatures without a skill gain "Air" for one turn only.

P.S.: this card made me wonder about a damselfly/fractal FG deck, anyone want to try?

EDIT: I just re-read the OP... Damselfly's ability is a skill, like bioluminescence and queen, not a "passive", like mummy or voodoo, so I don't think that it'd work like you said in the OP...

[EvaRia]

This card makes it a passive.
So it's slightly different.
Whatever

[Malignant]

Ah dang. Very clever .

...okay...

Since I technically didn't even think about this scenario happening for this competition, I'll let it slide - I was expecting all of the entries to actually follow the 'K, X, Y, Z' rule alongside one of the other requirements, but theoretically, I wasn't specific enough with the rules, so this actually passes... 

+1 Brownie points for thinking outside the box, and giving me a headache simultaneously EvaRia. Hopefully though, the other contestants in the competition won't feel obliged to change their entries to follow your 'strategy'. >_>

[kobisjeruk]

even though it wasnt explicitly like Eva's, my submission is also a permanent and a creature
i had thought about spell turning into creature, creature turning into permanent and spell turning into permanent when upgraded explicitly but a weapon turning into a creature when destroyed seems the coolest to me even though nobody caught on
