New Card Idea - Phasing Beast

[akromat]

Phasing Beast
7
Creature
6/5
Immaterial
This creature gains -1/-1 each time it attacks; if it would die it spawns a Phasing Beast.

Generic name I know. I wanted to give synergy to aether and death and since aether already has a low card count I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to post. Suggestions/feedback?

Good idea, but actually a bit powerful. You could fuel a deck on this alone without its ability; 7 for an immortal 6 damage creature is pretty good.

The name sounds a bit strange, too.

I'd change the attack to 5. The upgraded version can have the same cost but 3 HP instead of 5.

Good card.

Well you have to remember, it loses 1 attack each turn and the last attack is only for 2 and often it will be blocked by a shield so this doesn't do as much damage as it appears.
6+5+4+3+2=20
Toss in a shield and 5+4+3+2+1=15
Toss in an upped shield: 4+3+2+1+0=10
Not to mention any time it has a chance to miss. Even without shields or anything it's on par with an Immortal. Over the course of 5 turns, each does 20 damage, and this costs 1 more  .

aaaah. I didn't see the attack decrease I only saw the health decrease.

Then, I'd say that it is balanced. The upgraded version should have less health, though. Good card

Seems like decreasing health and dmg would fit better for a phoenix card that rebirth's. Immune to fire/fire shield but if it becomes frozen it permanently dies.

I like the idea of a creature that loses hp as it attacks. The rebirth thing would be very cool, especially when people start making death/aether decks.

Could be an idea for a different card but not the purpose of a Phasing Beast.

I like it. Very nice concept, and it's balanced.
A question: If I Antimatter it with, let's say, 5 atk , then in the next turn it'll become -6?

[icybraker]

It's immaterial. You can't Antimatter it.

But if you COULD... that would be TOO AWESOME.

I feel quite silly. Just found out that we already have a phoenix card that is getting prepped for release. Just ignore my comment.
