NOTES:
When a creature is burrowed, their attack is halved and they cannot be targeted. Airbourne creatures lose airbourne. If they have an active ability (and any passive apart from airbourne) they keep it.

Is the card too cheap?

Seems just about right in comparation to the Nymph.

Can you burrow opponent creatures? And if so, can they be unburrowed (and does this burrow/unburrow causes a lobotomize)?

Should be same price as nymph, if it can target opponent's creatures. Having the ability to halve your opponent damage is quite strong.

So no, they cannot unburrow.

I've increased the cost. Bear in mind that you may have only one of these at a time, unlike the 6 (or more, with PU, fractal, mitosis, etc) you can have of the nmyph. The nymph also does 7 damage as well, so that is why I haven't raised it as high as 8.

Can this be used on the opponent and can they then unburrow it?

Yes, you can use it on the opponent's creatures. I'm thinking about raising the casting cost up again, or making the ability cost be 3 on both and raise the casting cost of the unupped a bit.

No, they cannot unburrow.

One interesting side use on this is that it will allow :earth to bring out creatures while flooding is going on... May provide the beginings of an interesting deck.

Would you be averse to allowing it to unburrow creatures as well? That could make for an interesting SoPa combo.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?

isn't unburrow normally free? If they can't unburrow then i think this is too powerful. a much better way to lobotomize creatures for example.

oh. Well then it's not really burrowing them. so it halves their attack and makes them untargetable?
