Round 7: Radiance | Radiance

Bump for Round 7!

The balance is still being tinkered with, but the core mechanical idea is there. Any feedback is appreciated!

At this point I am considering changing the benefit to yourself from Max HP to something else. Not sure what yet.

Charity was considered extremely underpowered, and in the end I just couldn't think of a way to manage the high cost with that particular mechanic. Thanks for Calindu and Ginyu for the feedback. A new card has been born! Feedback and criticism welcome!

NAME: Noxious Hooks ELEMENT: Death COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK | HP: 1 | 1 TEXT: Weapon: deal 1 damage at the end of every turn. : Increase poison damage to creatures by 100%.	NAME: Impaling Hooks ELEMENT: Death COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent ATK | HP: 4 | 1 TEXT: Weapon: deal 4 damage at the end of every turn. : Increase poison damage to creatures by 200%.

ART: N/A IDEA: Aves NOTES: Poisoning a creature is usually considered pretty weak in terms of CC. But if you were able to double or triple the damage on the stacks of one, well... that's a different story. To balance things cost wise, I took arsenic as a template; arsenic is a somewhat slow but scaling damage dealer. It's also very cheap. The main point of IH is in its defensive utility, so it needs to have a lower damage than Arsenic while maintaining a similar cost. The active effect of IH affects all creatures on the field afflicted with poison/aflatoxin by dealing extra damage to them when the poison is calculated; it does not add extra stacks, to prevent mountains of poison stacks on voodoo doll (though the damage inflicted would still be dealt-- it just wouldn't add more poison stacks). Creatures without poison or with purify stacks are not affected.  Originally I wanted to go with a mechanic similar to Bone Wall where you would sacrifice charges of IH to make this effect, but I felt that being able to easily double more than once a turn would end up broken even on a relatively weak mechanic like poison. AW is a thing, yes, but then you're using more card slots for the effect. On the other end of the spectrum, making this a spell seemed to be way too weak, and more like a wasted card slot than anything else. Old name: http://i.imgur.com/B3do5cq.png SERIES: Card Design War 3
