Crystal Ankh | Prismatic Ankh

[OdinVanguard]

NAME: Crystal Ankh ELEMENT: Time COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: If an ally dies on opponent's turn return it to your hand. If it is not a crystal creature, return this card as well	NAME: Prismatic Ankh ELEMENT: Time COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent ATK|HP: TEXT: If an ally dies on opponent's turn return it to your hand. If it is not a crystal creature, return this card as well

"Your allies may depart you for a time, but don't worry, they'll be back when you need them." Essentially it's the salvager mechanic, but for creatures. The main difference is that the ankh will be returned to hand as well unless the dying creature is a crystal creature.

Cool Mechanic, love the idea.

I think for the Crystal Ankh instead of return it would be better off as destroyed.  Also does this stack? Meaning if you have three of these and one creature on the field dies, do you receive 3 copies?

[OdinVanguard]

It doesn't stack, per se, but it is good to have more than one.

Just like the scavengers, each ankh would only return 1 creature per turn. So if you have 1 ankh and the oppoenent kills 2 of your creatures, only the first one would get returned.

I was debating whether it should be destroyed or returned when a non-crystal creature dies. In the end I decided that it may be a bit on the UP side if it was destroyed...

As an alternative, I could lower the cost on the unupped version (and maybe even raise the upped cost by 1) then have the unupped version get destroyed whereas the upped version gets returned.

Ahh ok! I think the cost of this card should increase by 1 for both upped and un-upped.  The reason for that is it act like a permanent reverse time for crystal creatures.

You may have a point there... Although, I think with the crystal cards as they are right now it may be balanced ok since crystal cards seem to be slightly more expensive than average... It will depend largely on how the series evolves... Balancing gets tricky with tightly knit mechanics like this.

If I raise cost too much then it ends up being too UP on its own and risks becoming too situational.

great tie in to my series.
