Shard | Shard of Cooperativeness

NAME: Shard ELEMENT: Other COST: 1 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: ---- ABILITY: It looks like a crystal shard. It seems to be useless, but it might be upgradable.	NAME: Shard of Cooperativeness ELEMENT: Other COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: ---- ABILITY: Creatures you control gain +1/+1 as long as they share a name with another creature you control. Lasts 3 turns.

ART: Don't know, provided by ScaredGirl. IDEA: Padewan09 NOTES: Creatures can only gain +1/+1 per shard.       This is so that Fractal/Twin Universe don't vault the power of just       one shard into ridiculous numbers. If you have an upgraded and non-upgraded version of the same card they will gain the +1/+1.     I.e. Purple and Amethyst Dragon will gain +1/+1 from each other. SERIES: Shard Madness

Who needs Dragons in a RoL/Hope I use SoC xD.

Like the idea but i like haveing only 3 different shards.

haha, that was one of the things i thought about when deciding to not make it +1/+1 per creature w/ the same name.

This. If you had a viable way of protecting your shards and stacked them, you'd get 7|7 Rays of Light, which would be flat out devastating in a RoL + Hope/Fractal Deck. Doesn't this just make Fractal that much more annoying when you stack these shards in the deck as well?

This card also has vicious synergy with Mindgate (someone likes Aether) copy 6x your opponenets creatures and add +6 | +6 to all of them.
Worst case scenario six 11|0's best case scenario. Six 21|8's.

Noted, and will fix it.

As I responded to $$$man, this is why I have it to a max gain of +1/+1 per shard. This way Fractal/Universe doesn't pump the Shard's bonus to insane levels. Granted with 6 in the deck, that's still +6/+6, so maybe increase the cost, or is there a way to limit the number that can be in play at the same time? A "legend rule" of sorts for this game?

Or perhaps give it a timer, like Dimensional Shield.  (This is the idea I decided to add to the card. Hope it makes the card a bit more balanced )

Smart move.

This card uses a name that is not on the list. It must be redone using the correct name.

skimmed through the list, ones that seemed like they could be relevant are unity, encouragement maybe lovingness (love will make us stronger? idk), just my 2cp

[padewan09]

Fixed.

whoops, misunderstood what was being said and didnt see coop in the list as it was crossed out.  in any event- "in before you being told to chance the title of the thread to match the card and that aslong is a single word in the card art"
