IDEA:
Jawron
NOTES:
Angry bees/wasps are angry! Targeted creature would be stuck in time bubble just like in Procrastination. (or like the newly developed card)
The idea stems from here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21468.0.html), but as suggested, it could make a fine standalone creature with light cc for life. Adjusted it a little. Enabling it to hit own creatures can help with starting combo for beehive,  or for example to lock/kill own antimattered creatures.

Bees

like the general idea you've done with this and the nest :)
couple of thoughts/ideas

- the attack cost could be  :air because they are likely to fly at you for a sting?
- I think bees die once they've stung you (wasps don't)? That could be worked into this perhaps?
- they could perhaps have the swarm ability like Scarab? (or even be made stronger and called bee/wasp swarm, rather than just 1 bee/wasp)

not sure any of my ideas would make the card better, just putting them out there for food for though :)

You misunderstood my suggestion a bit. (now the two threads would split their vote leading to failure)
I was suggesting a single thread with the Bee being the first card (and thus the one voted on) with the Bee Hive being an additional suggestion within the thread.

This ability is very similar to the Guard skill from the Warden In Development. That thread will provide additional assistance.
