ART:
Found on a random page about hurricanes.
IDEA:
My two thumbs.
NOTES:
Air + Water = Defense against flying creatures.

Theoretically part of a series of cards with abilities of a different element, potentially allowing for more complex/interesting synergies between elements that currently don't have them.

Initial damage may be too low or cost too high (one or the other), but this seems a sensible starting point.

You still need to provide the image link.

And there is of :water | :air synergy [Toadfish, Freeze + Shockwave]

I personally think that the upgraded is really OP.  Usually with additional "DR", cost goes up by at least 1.  But since this is an offensive shield and considering that Airborne creatures are frail, save for FFQ and a few dragons, I'd consider having it only deal 1 damage like it's unupgraded counter part, but either:

A) Lower Playing Cost to 4 :air
B) Lower Ability Cost to 1 :water

This will provide incentive to upgrade while keeping it relatively balanced in my opinion.

I don't get how adding :water will increase damge in a hurricane.

Does the bonus damage from the ability only last one round or will it be cumulative?

This will certainly put an interesting twist into wings based decks.
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?

flavor wise, i would reverse the element costs. as in, costs water quanta and ability costs air quanta. the hurrican itself is water, but to make it stronger you add wind.
