Target tile in creature field is swapped with random tile in creature field.

ART:

IDEA:
Jazzfan27
NOTES:
Gives a 50% chance to gain control of enemy creature.  Works on Immortals because it targets the tile, not the immortal.

If there is a creature on the destination tile the two creatures just swap spots.

The card text is a little confusing, but I see what you are getting at after reading the notes...

Maybe try something like:
"Target a creature slot. Swap its occupant with the occupant of a random slot on the opposing side."

As a side note, though, the chance to "steal" an enemy creature is not necessarily 50%. It may be higher or lower depending on how heavily populated the opposing side is.

It becomes 50% when the opposing side has a half filled field.

Of course, most likely you would target a slot on the enemy field so at worst you simply exchange creatures and at best you get something for nothing.
Alternately, you could use this to deadly effect with Novas by targeting a singularity on your side.

At worst you got rid of your singularity and gave it to the opponent... at best, you also gained one of their creatures at the same time.

Anyway, it seems pretty fun... though I have a nagging feeling that it may be OP... Even with singularity abuse aside.

I will have to think on it for a bit.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
You might be a unix junky

You get to choose the origination tile, just not the destination.

So, lets say you target a tile under a devourer on the other side.  It is 100% going to move to a new random tile.  But, since both sides of the field are possible  there is exactly a 50% chance it moves to your side and 50% chance it stays on it's own side.

The more creatures you have on your side the greater odds that one of them would be sent back in exchange.

Alternatively, you could target a singularity on your side, and it would have a 50% chance of landing on your side or your opponents side.  On the plus side if your opponent has a lot of creatures it might actually send one back to you while you send him a singularity.  (if you get really lucky)

It's all about luck with this card.  50/50 chance for stealing a creature, and a X/23 chance of a creature you own being sent back.  (X= number of creatures you have).

Ah, I got the idea now.

Makes for a nice singularity sink.

Would also be potent with flooding. It effectively gives a 18/23 (78%) chance to kill a target non-water non-neutral creature. Thats seems rather OP actually.

Of course, for singularity disposal, this may not be a bad thing.

Yeah, it would be kinda strong with Flooding.  Heck you might actually see someone use Flooding if this card existed!  I don't know that it would be OP still.  Strong yes, but, a 2 card combo from 2 elements.  Most folks might just prefer to run a Lightning and be content.  I mean you don't see a lot of use for freezing + shockwave and that's a similar 2 card combo that kills about anything.
