ART: Original Art links: Gem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ruby_gem.JPG Background: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1327495 Modified and merged by OdinVanguard using GIMP IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Today darkness and chaos loom just over the horizon" "You have in your grasp the means to attain great power today, but use it with care or you will become the king of an en empty kingdom" Causes a creature to suck the strength out of its allies. Can be used on creatures owned by you or your opponent. Functions by applying a stackable status effect to the target. I honestly have no idea where to begin balancing this effect. It doesn't give any extra stats, just rearranges them on the field… not sure what that is worth cost wise. Advice, discussion, etc. on this would be welcome SERIES:

attack can go negative?

also, I don't really see this being used on your own creatures,
unless as a back-up plan on a momentum'd creature.

It's probably very strong together with bone wall (and possibly antimatter).
target the same creature over and over;
next turn all other creatures will be dead or have negative attack.

perhaps disable the option to stack?
perhaps make it like momentum: not an active skill, but removed when lobo'd?

It's worded very strangely... What exactly does this do?

[OdinVanguard]

It makes a creature suck attack and HP from its allies to grow stronger itself.
Not sure how to make it more clear though

attack can go negative?

Scorpions and vampires would gain nicely from it.

Could give a quinted creature a way to heal and gain attack, turn sparks into repeatable attack power buffs, beef up high attack but low hp creatures.

Hmm... didn't think about that one.
I think this is one time when letting it drain attack to negative would be very interesting, since it ends up balancing out.
Alternatively, it could always drain toward zero so that it would drain negative attack creatures and actually reduce its own attack.

What do you think?

I like this card; simple, lots me uses. To make it clearer, you could write 'ATK' instead of attack, to make it clear that 'attack' is supposed to be a noun, not a verb. One question -if you had to chose one element for this to go in (like it was able to in in-game but the current rules me on hybrid elements remains) which element would you jean towards? I'm just curious as to what you think the stronger element is. As I said - nice card!

[CrockettRocket]

Is this card airbourne? I doubt it.

[CuCN]

This card is a permanent, so I doubt very much that it is airborne.

>.< I mean't, can it be applied to airborne creatures, and if so can does it always hit the  creature target when their are 4 freedoms?

[Higurashi]

Your own Air creatures don't evade your own targeting.

[CrockettRocket]

Ok thank you. Seems like something I should've known but I don't think I've ever tried.

Thanks for the input, I'll clean up wording in a bit.

It was originally going to go into the element with an cost.
It fits well in both themes but if it had to be one or the other, it would be better as a pure darkness than a pure entropy.
It would probably get turned into a darkness card with an entropy activation cost. That would force a duo, however, and hybrids make a nice way to keep from doing that while still maintaining the thematic flavor of the card.
