NAME: Inspiring Presence ELEMENT: Other COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Pay this card's cost from your mark's pool. Allies in your field's 5 central slots matching your mark element get +1|+2.	NAME: Inspiring Presence ELEMENT: Other COST: 7 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Pay this card's cost from your mark's pool. Allies in your field's middle row matching your mark element get +2|+3.

ART: OdinVanguard, Created using Hexagon and Bryce7 IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today will be surprisingly mundane" "But don't just check out, your presence will inspire your followers to greatness" A utility card to provide a means to give a player's creatures a small stat boost. Unlike Nightfall and Eclipse, this is a 1 off effect, but can stack if cast multiple times. E.g. you could give your creatures a total of +6|+12 each with the unupgraded version or +12|+18 each with the upgraded version Thematically it represents the player's character acting as a source of inspiration for their followers from the same element. As noted, the effect is limited to creatures that match the player's mark element. In the event that the player has a chroma mark, only creatures from type 'Other' would be affected. At the moment, this would include only flown non-rare weapons. Also, since this card's cost must be payed only from the owner's marked element, it alleviates many of the problems associated with type 'Other' costs. E.g. It doesn't favor combos with nova / immolate. If the player has the chroma mark, then any quanta can be used and the cost becomes like a normal type other cost... of course, as noted above, the effect becomes more or less useless. Lastly, since this effect is limited to creatures in the center field row, it can only affect a maximum of 5/7 creatures. This is important since it will help keep combos with fractal and mitosis from being overpowered. SERIES:

At first I thought this card wouldnt be worth the card slot at all, but it actually works quite decently with 0atk scorpions in monos. Not sure if you intended for that, for scorpions any attack buff will do until your opponent gets a shield up (which is why they are in no buff elements) and deja vu combo is acceptably good too. Everything else it does is either too late or too insignificant, for synergy with wardens and otys theres better ways to do it and you need 4 creatures for it to be worthwhile without the exceptions mentioned before.

Hmmm. Does raising stat buff a little help?
I raised the stat boost to +1|+2 / +2|+3. The added HP boost should make it useful as a soft Mass-CC counter. For instance, the unupped version counters thunderstorm and the upped can help counter firestorm card to card... plus it may be a nice little boost to mono-grav otyughs as well.

Could also be nice with Phase Salvagers, since Aether would actually get an in-element way to keep them alive... Which in turn provides a rather nice boost for a certain shield I don't want to name at the moment...

^ That is part of the reason I didn't make the cost lower than it is right now, but if it seems UP in general I may need to buff it a bit anyway.
Also vampires, since this will stack with nightfall / eclipse.

If you play a second mark card (different than your primary mark) can you pay for this spell with quanta from either pool?

While this would be a neat interaction, I'm hesitant to have it work this way given that relatively few players have access to mark cards.
