Do you feel this ability could be used in a better design? If yes, how so?

I think it would be more useful to make it create two copies of itself if killed. So you can kill it yourself if you want more copies.

I also think of my super-old card, that card decreases its attack and HP every turn , but when it dies, it generates a new copy of itself

Reminds me of an MTG card (some Hydra/plant, I think) with that ability - if killed, generate another.
Which ability is the Active one?

Currently " Generate " is active and Eternal is passive.

im pretty sure this mechanic has been suggested twice before, but with the snake eating its own tail thing, once as life, once as time.

Right, the time one is mine. I didn't submit it to Crucible for a reason I can't remember

Here's the Life one: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23068.msg312922#msg312922
And the Time one: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,36029.msg484084#msg484084

The Ouroboros theme, however, is very common. Plenty of results for it in the search. This particular mechanic hasn't been used as much as the image of a snake eating itself.

For the record, I got this idea from the old Ad Infinitum thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,26172.msg355879#msg355879).
It's true the concept is somewhat common, but it's never been submitted to Crucible before, so I'll make a note of the previous ideas in the notes.

kami's is in the level 1 archive, actually.  not saying you stole it, just that it has been submitted before.

I feel the Eternal ability deserves a better vehicle. Am I correct, and could you join the discussion with your thoughts?

The Eternal ability was submitted to the Crucible under a different name (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,23068.msg312922#msg312922) by Kami. It did not survive the polls and was archived. Eternal may deserve a better vehicle but we do not submit the same suggestion twice.[/quote]
