NAME: Breed Genes ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 6  TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Fuse 3 creatures into a Chimera. Its controller is the one of the component with more HP.

ART: YoYoBro IDEA: YoYoBro NOTES: All statuses disappear after fusing. A regular chimera is formed upon breeding with the unupped card, an upped chimera is formed if breeding with the upped card. SERIES: None

The first card I'd like to submit. Will be followed by several ones. Not a series though.

Thoughts? My concept of "balanced" should've been thrown off balance (+karma for this pun) after all this months of absence, but I don't see this card as either too OP or UP. What do you guys think? Constructive criticism will be much appreciated.

fusion cards have been done before, but this one is actually interesting, always turning them into chimera, wtill it have gravity pull momentum?

[YoYoBro]

Yup. Thank you for your comment, and I hope I haven't stolen anyone's idea.

"Its controller is the one of the component with more HP."

Does that mean you can target the opponent's creature? That might be a bit much, and would warrant a higher casting cost I believe.

[YoYoBro]

Yep, but the price of using it as CC is sacrificing a creature with even greater HP of the one (or ones) you're going to kill. And the Chimera has got gravity pull. It would last 1 turn or 2 in most cases, provided you didn't build a deck which makes large use of this card and armagios/other high HP creatures, which would require a focused deck strategy, balancing the nice combo. Otherwise, you target 2 of your opponents' creatures and use this card strategically to remove dangerous ability from the field, but give him a chimera, which could potentially become dangerous.

This looks fun, and new. Begone, generic fusion cards, Chimera is now taking the spotlight.  CC, with an understandable twist as well as a new way to get Chimeras while keeping crucial creatures alive.

[YoYoBro]

Yeah, I would like cards I create to be creative yet simple to code and not too heavy to implement for Zanz. Glad you like this one

CURATOR COMMENT
-Fix the discrepancy between the card image and the TEXT in the table: it should say "...with the most HP." instead of '...with more HP.' to match the card image.



I honestly don't understand this card at all.


The one thing that confuses me is the 'component' part at first glance. Perhaps I'm being obtuse, but when you say "Its controller is the one of the component", are you saying that the -owner- of the Chimera is the player with more HP than the other? Or are you referring to the creature that 'owns' the Chimera status, etc.? I'm just following it... ^^;

[YoYoBro]

The component = the creature fused into the chimera

E.g. you fuse 2 creatures, one with 5 HP and one with 8. The controller of the bigger one controls the resulting chimera.
