Questions / Comments / Suggestions
That is a hideous amount of text for a card. There is no way that could be implemented in the game.

While I acknowledge it is a hideous amount of text, I will currently focus on being approved and then worrying about text limitations.

Promise to Kuroaitou:

Will change the description text to :

Gain 1 HP & 1 per turn for each airborne creature on your field
Roost: Target friendly airborne creature and give it immortality for 1 turn.

Semi-complete, will work on upgraded version next.

Here's my suggestion on how to simplify this card. (Good god )

1. Remove the upkeep cost. It seems VASTLY underpowered to require 3 different quanta costs as an upkeep for an Air card. Fireflies can't even generate the quanta you need for that, so it'd be forced into a rainbow (which is not a good idea).

2. Why does an Airbourne creature have to loose its 'airbourne' passive when it gets near its roost (i.e. - become 'immaterial/invulnerable')? It can still be theoretically airbourne, as 'Roosting' is done in high altitudes (thus, making it above ground/airbourne).

3. Simplify the text from this:

"For each Airborne creature on your side of the field, heal 1 HP and gain 1 per turn.

Roost: Target friendly Airborne creature loses Airborne status, and becomes immaterial for 1 turn, after which it regains Airborne and loses its immaterial status.

Upkeep: 1 , 1 and 1 per turn."

...to this, and compare the results.

"Gain 1 & 1 HP per turn for each
airbourne creature on your field
  Roost:
Target friendly airbourne creature
and give it immortality for 1 turn."
