ART: IDEA: Darkrobe NOTES: A way to play cards by living on the edge of death. Use it to quickly get out that expensive dragon or help that unwieldy duo/trio synergy. SERIES:

Run purify off mark. Problem solved.

Edit - and welcome back!

Lol thanks

Run purify off mark. Problem solved.

Problem solved as in Great water synergy? or gah, this would make it over powered?

More the latter than former. Just pack dragons. Lots and lots of dragons and a purify. I think this is too easy an abuse.

do you think its unbalanceable? I can make it more expensive or only apply to death cards. purify has a limit, I think you could make it so that a perfect combo of a bunch of dragons and a purify and this card in your hand is highly unlikely.

Not unbalanceable at all. Why not have a limit of 14 poison or so? That gives plenty of room for a variety of different cost cards.

I am fully against the upgrade being colorless, embrace uniqueness of colors. To get around the purify problem maybe it could just injure yourself for double or triple the cost? Synergy with SoSac and not be OP with purify. That all being said I really like the idea, seems pretty unique/balanced and I would love using it in game or playing against it.

[darkrobe]

What about instead of turn it is number of card based.
 for example. unupped cost 1 and lets you play the next card with poison. Upped costs 1 and lets you play the next 2 cards with poison instead of quanta. Would be a boost to death synergies.

The upped could also lower the poison cost instead of increasing number of playable cards

[Rutarete]

That is an equally viable solution, and probably better than mine

This could also be abused with SoSac. And dragons.
-SoSac + this + spam 3-4 dragons... This would guarantee you could make back the life lost to the shard and then some.
Then just put in purifies run off mark and you would have a rather OP deck I think.
Alternate usage:
This + ball lightning + multi-fractal.
Sure, you poison yourself alot, but that won't matter since your opponent will be DEAD and the poison will never get to tick.
and of course, you could always throw in the SoSac as above

If you add in a point or two of immediate damage as well, then this might be a bit more viable... but I think that was already attempted (the blood price I think it was... its current incarnation was or is in polls)
