ART: IDEA: jawdirk NOTES: The effect isn't cumulative. Affects both players. Doesn't affect creatures with power less than 1. SERIES:

I think this effect is more interesting than it might seem at first. Consider its interaction with:

ParadoxGravity ShieldAdrenalineNightfall/EclipseImmaterial/burrowed creaturesScorpions + Momentum

It is powerful in combination with many shields, but if a deck has no CC or PC then perhaps it deserves to get shut down.

It can be used to tweak many creatures into the sweat spot for Adrenaline, or out of the sweat spot for Adrenaline (e.g. 1/1 creature + Blessing + Adrenaline is much better with this in play)

It is probably not quite strong enough to make it into RoL/Hope because although it gives the RoLs a little more toughness, it isn't quite strong enough to serve as beatdown against any shield.

The unupped is quite UP, the upped is probably fine. Not sure exactly how the effect fits thematically, but I'll skip that for now. It's an interesting concept, but  already has an angel, and Seraph is sort of one as well. The effect of there card is useful, but often fairly situational. The interactions are only with 3 real cards (adren, paradox and grav. shield), making it fairly situational. Nice idea though.

The wording seems to imply that all creatures stats will turn to -1| 1.
I recommend changing it to:

While this card is in play, all creatures gain -1| +1.
