ART: EmeraldTiger IDEA: Malebolgia NOTES: I typically thought there could be a counter-effect to the Fallen Elf | Fallen Druid card.  The idea that this generally improves the target card's stats, and it also gives it the skill of the product.  It also has the slight orientation of a rainbow feel, something which I feel should be hard-synergized in every element, while typically the best left to Entropy.  Upgrade status of the product is dependent of the upgrade status of the engineered/enhances host. Here is a first-glance table at how the tier system works, and the niche may vary by opinion and actual capability of the card, and some element balance may shift a creature's teir: Tokens Support/Synergy Attackers Dragon Nymph Spark | Ball Lightning Phase Spider | Phase Recluse, flying Lobotomizer | flying Electrocutor Immortal | Elite Immortal Phase Dragon | Elite Phase Dragon Turquoise Nymph | Aether Nymph Dragonfly | Damselfly Firefly | Elite Firefly, Firefly Queen | Elite Queen, flying Owl's Eye | flying Eagle's Eye Wym | Elite Wyrm Azure Dragon | Sky Dragon Blue Nymph | Air Nymph Devourer | Pest, Parasite | Bloodsucker Minor Vampire | Vampire, Voodoo Doll | Voodoo Doll, flying Vampire Stiletto | flying Vampire Dagger Gargoyle | Elite Gargoyle Black Dragon | Obsidian Dragon Black Nymph | Dark Nymph Skeleton | Elite Skeleton, Virus | Retrovirus Flesh Spider | Flesh Recluse, Deathstalker | Deathstalker, flying Arsenic | flying Arsenic Mummy | Elite Mummy Bone Dragon | Ivory Dragon Grey Nymph | Death Nymph Gnome Rider | Gnome Gemfinder Antlion | Elite Antlion, Iridium Warden | Vanadium Warden, flying Pulverizer | flying Pulverizer Graboid | Elite Graboid, Hematite Golem | Steel Golem, Shrieker | Elite Shrieker Stone Dragon | Basalt Dragon Auburn Nymph | Earth Nymph Schrödinger's cat | Schrödinger's cat Fallen Elf | Fallen Druid, Microabomination, Maxwell's Demon | Maxwell's Demon, flying Discord | flying Discord Abomination, Lycanthrope | Werewolf Purple Dragon | Amethyst Dragon Purple Nymph | Purple Nymph Ash Eater | Brimstone Eater Fire Spirit | Fire Spectre, Minor Phoenix Phoenix, Lava Golem | Lava Destroyer, flying Fahrenheit | flying Fahrenheit Crimson Dragon | Ruby Dragon Red Nymph | Fire Nymph Graviton Fire Eater | Graviton Firemaster Otyugh | Elite Otyugh, Armagio | Elite Armagio Graviton Mercenary | Graviton Guard, Charger | Elite Charger, flying Titan | flying Titan Colossal Dragon | Massive Dragon Amber Nymph | Gravity Nymph Rustler | Leaf Dragon Forest Scorpion | Scorpion, Forest Spirit | Forest Spectre, flying Druidic Staff | flying Jade Staff Horned Frog | Giant Frog, Cockatrice | Elite Cockatrice Emerald Dragon | Jade Dragon Green Nymph | Life Nymph Photon | Ray of Light Guardian Angel, Crusader | Elite Crusader Archangel, Pegasus | Elite Pegasus, flying Morning Star | flying Morning Glory Golden Dragon | Light Dragon Light Nymph | Light Nymph Deja Vu | Elite Deja Vu, Fate Egg Scarab | Elite Scarab, Pharaoh | Elite Pharaoh, Dune Scorpion | Dune Scorpion, Anubis | Elite Anubis, flying Eternity | flying Eternity Ghost of the Past | Ghost of the Past Devonian Dragon | Silurian Dragon Golden Nymph | Golden Nymph Chryssaora | Physalia Arctic Squid | Arctic Octopus, Toadfish | Pufferfish, Steam Machine | Steam Machine, Mind Flayer | Ulitharid, flying Trident | flying Trident Blue Crawler, Abyss Crawler Ice Dragon | Arctic Dragon Nymph Queen | Nymph Queen Weapon placement is only for when they are targeted with Engineer, not for the possible outcome of the effect.

If I'm getting this right, this card essentially upgrades a creature. Seems interesting enough. I don't quite see how it falls under gravity's theme, but using  as activation cost seems pretty spot on.
This might be a better  card. I.e. its like forcing the creature to evolve instantly.

By tier are we talking about upgraded cards or a new set of improved cards?

The reason for Gravity orientation is that while you are evolving the target creature, which is a Time theme, you are doing it in a technological way, which is usually a Gravity theme.

Tier corresponds to the classification of a creature based on an evaluation of all of its aspects collectively.

Once it becomes an immortal, nothing else could change it.

what do you mean by "tier"?

In order to affect an immaterial creature with this it would need to be marked somehow before gaining that status.

having a chance to mutate without involved, especially in it's elemental opposite, is so very wrong.

[Captain Scibra]

That is rather tricky, yes, but Aether being of other-worldly beings than any other element as a theme may not really have genes or something of that nature, so sadly Aether has a partial exclusion of the feature.

having a chance to mutate without involved, especially in it's elemental opposite, is so very wrong.

The non-upgrade having mutation as a side effect is supposed to represent the fact that it is not a fully mastered technology, similar to some other upgrade themes like Mutation and Graviton Fire Master.

find something else, like a chance of death or downgrade

I'll go with the chance to reverse the effect (not downgrade, there is a difference).
