i really like this.. but does it give something every turn? i think that might be a little too powerful even if what you get may be useless ur still producing free cards. maybe put a percentage of failure? cuz u dont always catch something when u fish. maybe a 5% nothing happens?

Read Effect Chances Table spoilered above bored_ninja777, both have a chance to do nothing. They also can find you beautiful items such as shards, but unupgraded shards are worthless, whereas upgraded shards will be a godsend.

I am however considering raising the cost of Fish to 2 seeing as it generally provides something useful. 2 would also make it a little harder to use in rainbow decks, and we all know rainbow decks don't need much more.

[bored_ninja777]

    ... oops my bad.. i totally skipped right over that.. but yea i agree a little more cost would be good.. 3 to 4 at most though. my rainbow doesnt really use water.. i keep debating purify but dont ever do it. theres just nothing in water useable to my rainbow.. this would be an interesting twist.

why must luciferin?  i'm don't think mono water  or duo-trio water have a synergy with light quantum at all.  don't even talk about creature that can be effected by luciferin.

maybe this thing good to play with death quantum?  it's can summon chrysaora and parasite that use death quantum to cast a skill....  um...

[bored_ninja777]

i think you missed the point on this one karis..
it makes random things each turn or does nothing at all. some things may be useless some may be useful. if you find a use for each card than so be it otherwise its just there.

[Hyroen]

A very good question karis. While going through the entire collection of cards I tried to select cards that could theoretically be "fished" out of water. Purify I'll admit is questionable along with some others, but fishing a marine creature or a container of some sort is an understandable idea.

If you have better suggestions for a card that can be fished out please go ahead and post it. But please keep in mind that we can't have a large amount of creatures being spawned for 1 (though I'm considering raising the cost). Think outside the box, and following a similar format the next card in the series is the Gold Digger. Thank you for your interest.

[Higurashi]

For the lulz. I really like this card. Could be a Harpoon Cannon upped to make it more badass and raise attack if you want to.
About the targeted spells, I assume you will automatically be taken to the screen where you get to choose a target. I can see myself getting stuck with a useless Rage Potion late-game, but that's just part of the fun. x)
2 for cost is good.

[bored_ninja777]

hmm well it reminds me of pokemon and zelda finding random things in weird places fishing up potion bottles and random pokemon (ty gameshark) lol. maybe allow more "junk" be fishable. as in not normal fishing items like things in a bottle. liquid shadow, adrenaline etc.

Finally, a good card out of the "Grant Element mess" we have in the Card Ideas section. I think the ability being Entropy would be very flavorful.
