There can be a little marker on the infected creature, much like the marker for Adrenaline or Momentum, to indicate the Call of the Fallen passive status ailment.

Interesting. I'd be a little worried that it works too well with sparks, but at the present that shouldn't be too worrisome since darkness and air have no overlap.

I thought this was overpowered with Spark, too, until I realized...

Playing Banshee like playing any other card with an active ability means that you cannot use that ability on the turn that it is summoned. Thus, you cannot use its ability on your own Sparks.

Unless there's an exploitable loophole I'm not aware of.

does the thing last until the creature is lobotimzed or dies or does it last until your next turn only? seems like a good idea and all

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your question. If you're referring to the "Infected" passive ability, it lasts all of Banshee's lifetime. Lobotomize doesn't remove status effects like Infected or Adrenaline. The point of it is to put a cap on its power and to not make it too powerful without Heavy Armor and the like.

Play the sparks on rounds after playing the Banshee?

In any case, it should be fixable, even if it was broken (maybe make it two air?) That said, I'm not sure it is.

CURATOR COMMENT
- Unlike other markers what details wether the Vampire call is yours or you're opponents? Aflatoxin creatures have no knowledge from wence thay were infected.

- The Queen Banshee combined with Sparks and even with herself are putting you ahead by long way.

- Are there any limitations on you Calling the Fallen the vampires you have already created?

You should really call these "Curator CommentS". :D

Ah. This is an issue. Solutions:
1) 2 markers. This is messy and strange. Dislike.
2) You can only target your own creatures. Not bad, but also limits flexibility.
3) Same marker for both sides. Can cause confusion, but retains flexibility.

It's pretty costly, though. You need 7 card for this to work (6 Sparks, 1 Queen Banshee), you need timing, you need a total of 6 :air and 6 :darkness, and you need some way to keep the Banshee alive, adding one more card and more cost to the list. If it seems overpowered, got any ways to make it less so?

You can use Call of the Fallen on any targetable creature, including vampires and your opponent's creatures. Not that using it on your own generated vampires would be of any use ;)
