NAME:
Santa Claus
ELEMENT:

COST:
4
TYPE:

ATK|HP:
2|3
TEXT:
:entropy Present
Give the target creature a random buff. May only be used once per creature.
ART:
No art, no artist, I guess?
IDEA:
flyingcat
NOTES:
This is in light because presents=light! The abilities cost entropy quanta because a) thematic reasons (random) and b) balancing reasons. The random effect is any effect available from Chaos Seed, and the random buff is between +1|+1 and +5|+5. Only one present per creature!
SERIES:
Christmas Cards

I like the idea, but what exactly is the point of forcing a duo for light/entropy when the same thing could be accomplished via packing chaos seeds/powers? Unlike, say, an Otyugh or EE, this skill is not repeatable except on new creatures. So if, say, a lava golem was on the field and the first present didn't do anything, you would have to play another Santa to do anything. If it were my card, I would remove the "one cast per creature" and just up the cost to 2.
There is a darkness inside every person. The only difference is how long it takes to come out.

The point is you can use it more than 6 times. The upped would be OP if it was multiple casts a turn.
