Chlorine | Bertholite

[wavedash]

NAME: Chlorine ELEMENT: COST: 4 TYPE: Permanent: Shield ABILITY: Shield: The first creature to attack Chlorine is instantly killed. Chlorine is destroyed after one use.	NAME: Bertholite ELEMENT: COST: 3 TYPE: Permanent: Shield ABILITY: Shield: The first creature to attack Bertholite is instantly killed. Bertholite is destroyed after one use.

ART: Amazing Rust (http://www.amazingrust.com/experiments/how_to/Cl2.html) IDEA: [/color][/b] Wavedash NOTES: Damage and other effects from the victim still go though the shield, including abilities and permanents that are triggered by creature death. As always, Momentum ignores this shield. Quintessenced / Immortal creatures can be killed. A version of concentrated, potent creature control. Vulnerable to Steal and Explosion. Comments, concerns, suggestions?

Change card text to Bertholite for the upgraded version. Like the idea though.

Your table seems a bit off. Did you make that art? Or did you grab it from someone else?

Also, how does this card work with momentum-affected creatures? A 'reactionary' based instant-kill card seems overpowered, but the fact that it only works on one use makes me think that this should be best served as a permanent or some other card that simply applies 'lots of poison' to the first creature to break open the bottle of chlorine -> leads to death. A nifty idea I suppose.

You need to do the following though in order for it to be accepted into the Crucible should you submit it for Curator evaluation:
-Add the  symbol after the card's cost in your table
-Place 'Permanent' before the word 'Shield' in your Type section of the table
-Cite the artist name and/or provide a link to the art source. Deleting that part of the table is improper formatting.


Just my advice.

Thanks for the criticism.

Narratively, Chlorine gas doesn't really poison you, and it's not much of a delayed killer. "Lots of poison" also runs into some problems against bulkier creatures.
