ART: No specified artist; http://photobucket.com/images/blood spatter/ IDEA: Terroking NOTES: So unupgraded, it's a double-edged sword effect, hitting both players, encouraging people to build their decks around it with throw-away cards, and very strong synergy with Nightmare/GotP in both versions. At the end of the turn (This is before their creatures/ect. will attack/undergo actions), the player has to choose something to discard from their hand. If their hand is empty they simply take 10 damage. From a coding perspective it could create a permanent on the opponent's field if necessary. Any thoughts? Higher damage, more cost, anything?

Personally, I think the Nightmare/GotP team is OP anyway, and don't think it needs a buff. 

That said, I think that's a fault with those cards, not with yours.  I think yours is a better idea than GotP and would rather see it implemented.

When you say "cannot be discarded" do you mean, "doesn't have a full hand"? That wording is just a bit confusing in my opinion.

[EmeraldTiger]

no, the mechanic requires a discard full hand or not

Were you thinking of Sanctuary?

I didn't think of the idea of having an empty hand... Alright this card idea seems to have more legitimacy now.. I don't mind this idea too much, but it is forcing Ghostmares into a much more powerful state.

It was more the fact that I had not thought about the concept completely through. Essentially, I was only thinking about when the game makes you discard.

I really like the idea, but I feel like ghostmare + this = OP.  Good as a stand-alone card though.

[Terroking]

I figure a good way to make this idea better would be to not have it in Darkness (Or Time, for that matter) to avoid GotP combos, or at least force them into becoming clunky trios to pull it off.

Added a poll to decided which element it should go in. I'm really not sure, with the current theme, that it can go in anything but Darkness. The theme could be changed and the mechanics altered though, if necessary.

I voted entropy, because i thought that sharing is like distributing. And distributing is entropy related (gravity, opposite to entropy, is gathering related).
I know that entropy 99% of the times works with randomness, but entropy is not only that.
Think of nova: not random and distributed.
