Change target's element to the element of your mark
ART:
art needed I have no idea what it should look like so let your imagination go wild
IDEA:
AngeDeMort
NOTES:
The target can be anything, you, your opponent, or any targetable creature. Targeting a player will change their mark.

possible uses are buffing non darkness/death creatures with nightfall, letting non water/other creatures survive flood, change your mark to splash more than one element without pillars, and mess up opponents quanta production

bump for feedback, and I'm still looking for art if anyone wants to take a crack at it.

It's a neat idea, and could possibly be a great combo with Flood, is it possible that they can change into an other element like Malignant cell?

I don't see why creatures couldn't change into the other element since there are other creatures (like malignant cell and animated other weapons) so yes other is a possibility for creatures but not for marks.

What about abilities?

at the moment all it changes is the element affiliation not ability costs so it would have an effect on anything that goes off element affiliation like flood, nightfall, or holy flash.

I'm thinking it should be cheaper, there's not many uses for Element changing right now, although it could be changed later if the game becomes heavy in that section.

Cheaper card cost or cheaper skill cost?

i dont see the use of this card...

it just changes the colour of your card. So wut???

Amethyst dragon + this card = Amethyst dragon with life as element (or some other element)

i really dont this this card has a USE (well, except for the mark changing bit...) ??? ???

Play a Ball Lightning with Mitosis on it, splice all the Ball Lightnings to be dark-element and give them +2|+1 with Eclipse. You're now playing a 7|1 creature every turn for a cost of  :entropy :entropy.

Considering it takes 4 cards (more if you want your splicer and "mother" ball lightning to be quinted) and 4 different types of quanta, it's ridiculously inefficient. It's still a use, though, I guess.

Being able to change the opponent's mark is a potential insta-win against some duo decks, though.

Changing opponent's mark is broken, very OP. Many PvP deck ideas are built around the mark, not to mention there are some FGs that need the mark to work. As for Changing a card's element part, it's almost useless. At the current stage you must run at least a trio to get it to work....definitely not a viable card.

So mark is op and creatures is up any suggestions for balance and changes?

Would changing the skill cost to :aether help with up creature part and maybe instead of allowing mark/player targeting let it target pillars and change the type of quanta they produce help with the op part?
