NAME: Dark Ritual ELEMENT: :death COST: 5 :death TYPE: Permanent TEXT: When a creature dies, destroy this card and return that creature to your field. Its element is Death.	NAME: Obscure Ritual ELEMENT: :death COST: 5 :death TYPE: Permanent TEXT: When a creature dies, destroy this card and return that creature to your field. It gets +3|+0. Its element is Death.

ART: dailywikka.com IDEA: jacker NOTES: So, when a creature dies, its death effect will trigger, then it will appear on your side of the field. Its element is Death, so if it has abilities, the will cost  :death quanta. For the upped version: since the card is not destroyed at the moment, but at the end of the turn, every creature killed that turn will be your. SERIES: /

does this mean mass CC (:fire , notably) will cause a similar effect to creature stealing (mind-controlling sounds more appropriate, control upon death)?

good mechanics, not sure about balance, but awesome.. nice card :))

Consider anyway that the unup version is monouse.
And...yes, it would open (if not already) to a powerful Fire/Death duo

Nice, you should increase cost for both.

Death deserve a such card, still I think that the cost can be increased by at least one quanta, for balance reason.

I like the unupped version because it is balanced. The upped version is to powerful in my opinion. that would be game breaking.

So...make it cost more, or just be a cheaper version of unup?

i think the effect is OP. Imagine what would happen after a plague or a firestorm. (would be a good buff to thunderstorm lol)
Even an increased cost would't result in a balanced card. Maybe if you would generate two copies of the dead creature?
Anyway  2:death is way to inexpensive for my taste.

OMG this card combined with sparks and soulcatchers means you just don't need pillars anymore.

Also it has some nice sinergies with eclipse if creatures element becomes  :death

this is much better!
But i'dd make it cost more. A dragon for 3  :death is a bit too much, don't you think?

You'd still have to kill the dragon.

I like this card, though I'm not sure how a ritual can be a structure (permanent).

Thunderbolt for 1 :aether can kill dragons. I feel this defiantly needs a price increase.

I definitely like this card for Ball Lightning purposes. It seems like I'm one of the few thinking of zombifying. my own creatures...
