IDEA:
Joseph7
NOTES:
This card provides a way of moving creatures to your opponent's field. It guards against mass attacks from your opponent, yet makes it difficult for you to cast mass attack spells, such as thunderstorm, fir storm, or plague. Your reflected creature still attacks your opponent.

So it only works on creatures on your side, or both?

I really dont think the game is coded to attack the opponent from his own field as you seem to have intended. Also what you are suggesting is stopping fire from being such a great CC faction, almost the opposite of synergy.

More CC for fire D:

This sounds like a Duality card (It would cost both Aether and Fire quanta if it were capable).  To make sure it is what I think, it is like a mix of Rage and PU?  I like the idea of cards that combine effects in suboptimal fashions, but I don't think they are truly necessary, especially when thematically tied to the same elements.

Read his notes, thats not what he intended. What it sounds like is a way to barely give yourself a bit of attack bonus at the cost of being able to mass cc your opponent, something I do not even think the game is coded to do nor is intuitive. That's just me though.

No.
It is more akin to Quint. (unupped by avoiding AoE spells, upgraded by becoming immaterial)

Now i remember why this is majorly overpowered!
1) Make singularity and Mirror of Rage it (immaterial)
3) Immolate/mutate yours
3) ???
4) Profit!

That is assuming the copy created by this card behave like a creature the opponent made himself (as in, it attacks you), which is the only way i imagine this card could work or be implemented in the first place. I just don't see a card in the enemy's field attacking the enemy happen.

To answer a couple of questions, this mirror is intended only to reflect one of your creatures to the opponent's side. It gives the creature a slight boost. The difference between the upped mirror and regular is that if it is upped the player can still mass attack the opponent without worrying about the reflected card.

Okay, so reflected means that both creatures will be affected the same when only one is targeted, if I am correct.  Okay, now it seems like a cool card, but it still has a touch of Rage Potion to it, assuming you can target enemy creatures (though if they survive you are faced with 2).

No. Reflected does not mean copied in this case.


Summary of the card effect:
1) Target creature you control
2) That creature is moved to your opponent's field
3) That creature gains a buff (+3|-3     |      +3|-1 Immaterial)
4) That creature continues to attack your opponent.


Now i remember why this is majorly overpowered!
1) Make singularity and Mirror of Rage it (immaterial)
3) Immolate/mutate yours You just moved yours to the opponent's field. It will still attack your opponent so kill it after it spawns' a second or fourth.
3) ???
4) Profit!

I suggest the OP uses OldTrees' wording in the card, because right now the whole "through the mirror" sentence can be misinterpreted pretty easily.
Especially the "reflect" part. When you look into a mirror, at the same time there exists you in front of the mirror and your image inside the mirror: reflect as a synonym of "move" only applies in ballistics afaik.
Only just now did i actually understand what this card does, but oddly enough most of my commenting on it remains relevant.
