ART: etg IDEA: moomoose NOTES: similar to lava golem, but slightly sturdier, lower atk, and introducing the reflective passive ability. the reflective passive ability will reflect spells (and only spells) targeted at the golem back to the user or one of their creatures, depending on the spells mechanics.

I like the idea of a reflective creature but:

Another growing creature? Really...?
Hematite/Steel Golem with a different colour? Really...?

if you can draw better art, please do. the extent of my artistic ability on a computer is pretty much limited to editing existing pieces, aside from a few attempts at art cards such as guinea pig or dodo.  these two golems looked more crystalline when their hue was changed than lava golem did, and public domain doesnt have a ton of rock golems available.

if you can think of a reason light shouldnt have one, let me know.  it makes sense thematically for crystals and diamonds to be linked to both and , golems have at least 1 existing link to growth, with as the growth element, and this provides a new link between and .

seems too powerful, compared to lava golem.  -1atk, but +hp, and +resistance to spells.

[moomoose]

could reduce further the atk|hp, to say 3|3 and 5|5 respectively

[TheIdioticIdiot]

this is a growing creature with built-in near immortality
am I the only one who thinks this is OP?

[moomoose]

only spells are reflected, creatures and permanents with cc abilities still can have their way with it.

also the reflective ability prevents it's owner from casting spells on it, as well.


a third one star vote with minimal constructive criticism, yall can kiss my ass. this place isnt worth my time anymore, im out.

So what happens if you play Buffs/Quint?

[RagidyRock]

Seeing that this card functions similarly to both Forest Spirit (balanced 1/1 at 2 ) and Lava Golem (attack-based 5/1 at 5 ), I would see this card being the health-based of the group, having stats (unupped) closer to 2/4 with a cost of 3 or 4 .  The upgraded version could look something like 3/6 at 4 .  I don't want this card starting with so much attack power because of it's ability to reflect spells; it would then become OP if it did.

Would something like Eternity/Reverse Time, Owl's Eye, and Plague still hit the Golem?

look around, most CC are spells, not weapons/creatures

[ZephyrPhantom]

I think this is an interesting idea - it's a good midhitter for Light that works better an a mono than a Pegasus or Crusader would (Sort of like a Forest Spirit and Immortal mix). However, Duo-growth, high health, and reflective also combine to make a pretty durable creature (Contrast Lava Golem and Forest Spirit that both start out pretty fragile), so I'd suggest +1 to the cost or -1 to the attack.

Does Reflective deflect AoE spells (Pandemonium, RoF, Thunderstorm) too?
