NAME:
Phase Elf
ELEMENT:
Aether
COST:
3 :aether
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
1|1
TEXT:
Warp Phase: Whenever Phase Elf would die, its stats are instead doubled.
NAME:
Phase Gnome
ELEMENT:
Aether
COST:
3 :aether
TYPE:
Creature
ATK|HP:
2|1
TEXT:
Warp Phase: Whenever Phase Gnome would die, its stats are instead doubled.
ART:
Unknown
IDEA:

NOTES:
Meant to be good, but not overpowering, with Immolation and Otyugh. Four cards and 3 :aether gives you only an 8|8 creature, so I think it's pretty balanced for a creature that essentially can't die. (Well, unless it's lobo'd.) The upped version plus Maxwell's Demon = awesomeness. Note that the card is still vulnerable to soft CC like Freeze and BB.
SERIES:
This is for the Card Design War 2.

Double? I feel this would be OP with immolate. I mean, you can easily make an OTK involving one phase gnome and 6 immolates. You'd get a 128|64 creatures in a single turn.

That's a 7-card OTK, which only takes care of 100 HP. Most 100 HP OTKs only require 5 or 6 cards. And besides, you can always be outrushed.  ::)

That being said, if I were to actually submit this card (which I think I might), I'd add something like a 50-attack cap, or have the gnome respawn the following turn. This version's much simpler and more elegant, though.

7 card OTK that only costs 3 :aether total isn't too bad. You really can't look down on the drawing speeds in some OTK decks.
Add a TU to the mix, and you have an 8 card OTK that only needs 3 :aether to get started.

Fractal this. Then use unstable gas. Use unstable gas 3 times, they are at 40 health. And you have a field filled with 4/4 monsters. A bit OP.

Using unstable gas 3 times deals 60 damage even without Phase Elves. OP! :P

Regardless as to whether or not unstable gas is overpowered, this card effect can be easily abused with that cards effect. Case closed.

Fractalling this would require two turns, and a whole crapload of :aether. In addition, your combo calls for 3 UG. That's another 3 :fire and 15 :air. For a field of 4|40 creatures? Hardly OP at all. You're using a whole bunch of quanta that could easily be used for something else that is way better than that.

Also, mesaprotector, you didn't mention anything about my cermation*6+phase gnome+Tu OTK combo.

Overall i simply love this card.
