fair enough.  may want to put some thought into changing the theme a bit, genes are rather miniscule, and gravity has little/no effect on genetic expression, may want to find something more befitting of gravity, and i dont suspect the average mass of a genetic engineer will differ much from that of the standard population, so there may be something more befitting of gravity.

as for the mechanic, i dont dislike it, but i do think categorizing each card in each element will be rather tedious, unless you just lump them into cost ranges, which reminds me of gecko, which i was told was too complicated for people to comprehend.

Natural Evolution is entropic.
Entropy has a theme of entropy.
The Order theme of Gravity does fit Artificial Evolution.

In the end the casting cost of the Engineer will decrease unless the number of tiers decreases.

The 5 categories are quite simple, mostly.  Support is probably the least simple, as it can incorporate a lot of things, and is usually, but not always synergistic.  All of the creatures fit into at least one of them, and the lower 3 tiers have creature that often fit into more than one niche.  The idea when it comes to these is that each has a 'best' niche.  I may finish the table with the other 11 elements to show such.

You should finish it before it hits the crucible.

i suspect it will be rather tedious and there will be plenty of disagreements on classifications, particularly in the "support" vs "attack" creatures.

I think that the unupgraded should have something like a 40% chance to reverse the effect and an upgraded a 10% chance. Otherwise I think this ability is a bit too powerful-especially seeing as there is no risk in doing it to a dragon to get a nymph or even enhancing relatively cheap weak cards like minor phoenix into an expensive powerful ruby dragon for just 1 quanta.

I can agree to the latter, and moved Minor Phoenix to Support/Synergy since it can often powerhouse Immolation when no tokens are available, phoenix may stay in Attackers until it is determined to be similar to spiders and recluses, having high attack, but primarily for synergy.  Minor phoenix might just deserve a Token classification for being small as well.

only real problem is that when upgrading your not getting much of a big benefit sure it removes that 10% chance to reverse and u gain +3 hp but it still cost 5 gravity to play and only 1 life still so there no real diffrence. another problem i have witht he card Is the synergy that gravity and life have which is not much i never really see gravity and life to be a great duo deck maybe make it use time or something else?
The Devil what more is there to say.
