NAME: Amphibious Tank ELEMENT: Water COST: 4 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 5 TEXT: : Hydrate. Effect depends on target's element. Passive: underwater. Stats and skill power doubles in flood.

ART: Submachine (inspired by Triton) IDEA: Submachine NOTES: Let's go through how Hydrating affects each element: Water: heals 4 HP. Can't go over max HP. Life: gains +2|+2. Fire: suffers 4 damage. Earth: gains -2|-2. Every other: heals 2 HP. Cannot go over max HP. Amphibious Tank has 5 HP, because if it's down to 1, it can heal herself up to max. (Yes, it's a her) SERIES: The Tank Collection

Original Tank Idea:

Interesting. Kind of soft CC mixed with healing. Maybe mito+flood+SoPa?

It's CC only against fire and earth creatures. Life gets bigger benefits from Hydrating than any other element, because Life's buff can exceed the maximum limit. For example buffing a freshly summoned forest spirit to protect it from early strikes.
When Amphibious Tank, flood and SoP are both active at the same time, the stat doubling comes first, and only after that happens the +2|+2.

I really like this card for its interesting mechanic. I like the elementally thematic ability of the card, as it has a soft counter to water's opposite, . Nice!

[skyironsword]

No offense, but I dislike cards that have a variable effect. At least I dislike ones with so many different possible effects.

While it may be thematic, it's just not that useful, and it gets to the point where it is completely confusing.

And your suggestion is... ?

Anyway, I'm not offended.

Hydrate could be Purify that's only applicable to creatures?

But wouldn't that be too... blunt? Maybe it should be like this:  : Rehydrate. Remove all bad status effects from target (not just creature) and heal 4 HP. And it would also remove poison, freeze, delay, gravity pull, doom, flash and magnetize.

I just somehow liked the older version more. Maybe I'll change it back, but in a more simple way. The mechanics would work as multiple Holy Lights, different effects for specific creature types.

To the new ability:
Removes all bad status effects from target (not just creature) and heal 4 HP. It would remove not just poison, but also freeze, delay, gravity pull, doom, flash and magnetize. See my previous post in this topic.

I'm thinking a variable effect is fine, but you need to make it a bit more "okay, this is useful" and a bit less "I have to look up the page about this card so I know what is going to happen when I use the ability"

Basically make it a bit more predictable with the old effect.

Hmm, okay I changed back the ability to the old, but I updated the notes to be more predictable.
I'm using inverses. Hydrating now gives
+2|+2 for life, -2|-2 for earth.
+4 heal for water, -4 damage for fire.
Aether now acts as normal: +2 heal for elements other than water, life, earth or fire.

... shouldn't the opposite of life be death, or are we just screwing around now
