Interesting mechanic.

Thought I'd put up the wikipedia link to help you pick out a theme element and maybe give some direction for art ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypso_(mythology)

... what? What is this crazy mechanic... Why would I ever play this???

No offense, it's a great card, but it has zero uses

Is there any difference between "making a copy of this card after death" and simply "avoid death"?

It's basically a vanilla creature with half invincibilty. That ability would be pretty strong, but the creature itself are pretty weak, so I don't see any big uses for this. Compare with (Minor) Phoenix, which is stronger and has a similar ability (avoids death).

5 cost for 3|2... what is this??? For five quanta I could be playing a Phase Shield already! Though I suppose expensive other cards are hard to balance... but this is not supposed to be an expensive other card...

Copy and avoid are pretty much the same I think, except that making a copy would still allow the death effects to trigger whereas avoiding death would not... Only a few elements care about that at the moment though.

i was thinking that "copy" is like parallel universe.
stats gained or abilities gained are passed on to its regen copy...
momentum and blessing is passed for example....

how about 50% chance to create two copys for the upgraded and make it a 3/2 for unupped as well

As the card is a resurrection card, it doesn't need health so maybe change the upped stats to around 4/1 or something

hmmm higher attack is making this card slighty OP for me but good suggestion.
might change if evryone agrees with you
