CURATOR COMMENT

To Be Crucible Ready
- Card Image requires Costs for activation shown with Quanta Icons.
- Need to fix the disparity in card text between the table and card image (Spelling Mistake)
- Need to Credit the Artist Dragoart on the basic card
- You need to link to your Series Topic (Trial Requirement)

First of all, definitely OP with flying titan.

Unless you cannot target opponent, only his creatures, then I guess it's ok.



As for the images, I'm pretty sure the first image depicts a trebuchet while the second one depicts a catapult.

Hes right, you got them a little backwards.
Upped is too powerful in comparison to the original as well. You reduced the summon cost, increased the damage it can do by 50% and increased its HP. doesnt seem like a proper upgrade to me.

They're both Catapults, the first being a Trebuchet and the second is a Mangonel.
A Catapult is any type of Hurler.
A Trebuchet is a lever action Slinger.
A Mangonel is a Spring action thrower.

IsnĀ“t the left picture a Trebuchet and the right one not ? A long rope with a bag, and a stone in it, is typical for a Trebuchet.

You accidentally changed the positions of the pictures.

Wikipedia writes:"A trebuchet is a type of catapult that works by using the energy of a raised counterweight"

To pull the rope with a rope winch and cut the rope, is a typical shooting mechanism for a catapult and does not use counterweights.
And you see that in many strategical games and on online pictures.

Right, it seems that the English word 'catapult' has a wider meaning than the Polish 'katapulta'. It seems in my language 'katapulta' means spring throwers while 'onager/mangonela' is a subtype of 'katapulta' where the spring action comes from hemp rope torsion spring.

Strange...

Catapult seems more like a :gravity thing than an :air thing . . .

Change the summoning cost to :earth so that the Flying Titan combo will be harder to pull off.
