This is like a spark that casts a weakened black hole upon death. You can buff it to increase the power of the black hole, but then you must find a way to kill it.

What do you think?   

[Nepycros]

What happens when I rage-pot it?

[doublecross]

That depends.

If the rage pot killed it, it would cast it based on whatever attack it had before you rage pot'd it.

If it had health, say, from plate armor, and survived the rage pot, then it would have the new attack. Then, if something else killed it, it would use the new attack.


To recap: it needs to survive the attack change for it to use that attack for the effect.

It might be UP if it requires at least two other cards for the combo to work properly. Maybe raise attack by 1, or give it  0 | 1 instead of 1 | 0?

[doublecross]

Well, without any other cards, it will cast black hole with 1, not 3.


It doesn't require a combo to work. It requires a combo to become seriously effective.




It can be powered by just gravity:

Gluon + a few momentum + otyugh (to kill it)

[Nepycros]

Still, nothing wrong with red nymph/auburn nymphs right? 2 kinds of pillars, with this and catapult thrown in the mix using the Mark of Gravity, and you've got a solid and heavily damaging deck!

[doublecross]

That would be a difficult enough combo to pull off that this would not be OP, right?


Do you guys think this is balanced?

Catapult + 2 SoR (optional) + Red Nymph + Auburn Nymph + This = 4 (possibly 6) card combo

Balanced!

[doublecross]

Awesome! Anyone want to format this into something that I could go ahead and submit?

I am really, really terrible at formatting card pages. (Usually EmeraldTiger does it for me, to be honest...)

Why have both this and Black Hole in the same game?

It looks balanced but also redundant.

This could be useful as a game-starter and a finisher. If you use it early, it'll possibly take away some quanta that the opponent needs at the start. And if you wait until late game... well, Catapult is a surefire way to kill this creature. Personally, I think having Catapult may be the very thing that makes this card balanced. Otherwise it would be UP.

Gluon|Micro Black Hole is not adding anything to the game if it is used like Black Hole.
