element specific works well. maybe the crumble can be other though.

while the name fits well with gravity, I think it's quite similar to charger. Is it possible to switch to an element without this type of beater?

Also 5 for a 7|5 creature is cheap. The crumble ability is an added bonus, not something that will most likely ever be used immediately.

I thought about making Crumble and "other" cost, but I don't remember why I didn't. Oh well, if I remember I will change it back. And now that I think about it, Gravity was a bad choice because I intended to make this of an element that didn't have any atk buffs, so that it would be more difficult to abuse its crumble. Maybe... Life? Not Water, not earth,(that has an excess of beaters already) Air wouldn't fit. I think it would only work in Aether or Time. Aether, because they have very little in way of beaters, and Time because it is literally an ancient golem attemting one last hurrah before crumbling into oblivion...

I don't really know, it would fill a gap in Aether which really lacks worthwhile creatures. But flavor accounted for, it should fit in Time.
I will ammend the original post with an untyped picture. Then I will post a poll for the viewers to vote on the element of this lug...

Personally Aether is my favorite element and phase recluse is a creature I've used for years :)

While I'm all in favor of aether getting more mid level creatures, I think time is more appropriate. There is a gap there I think that GoTP doesn't exactly fill.

I personally like it as an :earth card for thematic reasons. I get the impression of a large animated statue made of stone that is slowly falling apart
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

Dont worry about theme, worry about balance :)

Considering that :earth is also free of attack buffs, which will mean crumble combos would force a duo, I think this should help keep its ability balanced

Without the crumble ability, it falls slightly under shrieker in terms of power and lacks burrow but makes up for it with improved HP.

Its attack and HP also both fall on values not occupied by other :earth creatures.

I think it should fit well in that element.

i may not be as well known as  some of u guys but i hope u all see what i have to say. i think it should be earth because of the way it looks and because of its ability to crumble away. so um yeah........ :) :

looks UP now. attack buffs don't work too well with this guy. his hp is high enough I think you'd rather just wait the extra turn right? With a 7 quanta cost I think he's outclassed by earth golems.

hmmmmm what if it gains attack whenever a creature is burrowed.... Might be a separate card idea but be interesting with this one.

So, it seem we have almost unanimously decided that it should be earth. However, I will not align it with an element until the poll ends on the 7th...

its worth mentioning that you need to find new art for the card, just because someone uploaded a picture they liked to their photobucket account doesn't mean the copyright goes away.

also, take away the momentum portion of the card. it either takes away from gravity (if not a gravity card) or overlaps with charger (if a gravity card)

Haven't looked at this for a while, but now I have to say that that art looks awesome for it! If you could get permission to use it, that would be great!
