NAME:
Destructive Dark Hand
ELEMENT:
Darkness
COST:
:darkness
TYPE:
Spell
ATK|HP:
TEXT:
Steal 1 Creature from the opponent and generate 1 quanta that matches the type of the stolen creature.
ART:
http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1152762
IDEA:
Brian Shepetofsky
NOTES:
In the text for Destructive Dark Hand I wrote "gain 1 quanta". It is supposed to be "generate 1 quanta". Fixed
The original photo had a black hand instead of a white one; I inverted the colors of the photo so that the black part was white and vice-versa.
SERIES:
The image I used this time was from http://www.sxc.hu/, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?

Please follow the guidelines here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5039.0.html) and provide a direct link to the image, preferably with a link to the image's license if you can.

Also, please please PLEASE learn the 'Modify' button. It's in the upper right of your posts.

One, http://www.sxc.hu/ is a website with royalty free images. Two, I meant editing a custom-made card that I previously made, i didn't mean editing a post.
I'm sorry if I confused you.

One: a direct link to the image is still required. The curators aren't going to go on a search through the millions of photos on sxc.hu to try and find your image. Everybody follows this rule, no exceptions.

Two: royalty-free images still have licenses, and just because sxc.hu is mainly a royalty-free website doesn't mean you don't still need to check that written permission isn't required, or that a model release isn't required, or that the image author doesn't just want some recognition. If you take a closer look at most of the licenses on sxc.hu you'll notice that a direct link is required to use any image from their site. See point one.

Three: I wasn't confused. My comment to you about editing posts button is to avoid spam. It makes it very confusing to follow which card is exactly the one we're supposed to be looking at if we have to hunt for it. Just 'Modify' the original post to update the card image. Also, anytime a post to this thread is made, everybody who's previously posted is notified. If you 'Modify' it doesn't do that. It's just polite :)

No worries. I'm pretty sure every new card creator has gone through the same thing. I know I did.

By the way, welcome to the Card Creation Threads! Enjoy and don't be afraid to ask anyone for help. They're a good crew here, even if they sound a bit silly at times.

I'm pretty welcome already! Creating custom cards for card games is one of my hobbies, so when I found this section in the forum I was thrilled! :D

Aside from all the card art drama, the concept is highly powerful and not deserving of the cost.

Even the :aether Aether card Parallel Universe costs 7 :aether and doesn't quite steal the creature.

This concept is typically frowned upon as shown in this thread HERE (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5508.0.html), the third point on the first post. If it were to be implemented I imagine there would have to be some serious repercussions for that 4 :darkness cost.

Good luck with the idea.

Please change the original post to
NAME: Dark Hand
ELEMENT: Darkness
COST: :darkness
TYPE: Spell
TEXT: Steal 1 Creature.
NAME: Destructive Dark Hand
ELEMENT: Darkness
COST: :darkness
TYPE: Spell
TEXT: Steal 1 Creature from the opponent and generate 1 quanta that matches the type of the stolen creature.
ART: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1152762
IDEA: Brian Shepetofsky
NOTES: The original photo had a black hand instead of a white one; I inverted the colors of the photo so that the black part was white and vice-versa.
And yes the cost should probably be changed from 4 :darkness, it's currently quite OP'd

maybe it could be more "steal creature for 1 (or 2 or x amount of) turns"? that would make it less OP?

Except the thing is, it's removing the card for those amounts of turns from your opponents side of the field. It's like freeze + PU, and for 4 quanta to boot. It still needs a raise even with your proposed effect
