ART: http://www.clker.com/clipart-26081.html IDEA: Dominator497 NOTES: Updated it from a permanent to a spell. Is this better? More balanced? - Important- The Un-upgraded card will give grow for 2 the upgraded card will give grow for 1 Also since the switch to life, the brown background I gave it looks wonky, might need new art. Also it will act as a lobotomizer in the sense, it will remove any skill and replace it with Growth SERIES: -

While I like the idea and all, there's something I'm wondering.
What element will the growth cost?  / ? Or the element the creature costs? (Eg. For a Ruby Dragon, Growth will cost  )
And for how much?

[Dominator497]

Well It is going to be 2 for an unupped Growth hormone and only 1 for the upped. Remember it is a permanent, so it goes up with your pillars and you can give growth to a creature once a turn.

I've got mixed feelings about this one, but I think there's more positive than not.
Also I don't think 5 is the right cost. Maybe 4

So if you use Growth Hormone on your.... say Ruby Dragon, will it then cost  for the creature to grow?

No it will give it the regular grow, So it will cost 1  for the dragon to grow. It is bestowing the growth ability to any creature you want, but it is the ability already in the game, know as "Grow"

I've got mixed feelings about this one, but I think there's more positive than not.

But don't you think that is a bit cheap when you can make anything grow? One time every turn you can make a creature grow. So you can have your huge stone dragons growing... Or your little gnome riders.

Mutation/Fallen Elf/Druid can do it for less.

[Dominator497]

Mutations make things grow for less? How can you compare the two? With this you are guaranteeing the target creature will gain grow, and you are not changing the creature to a random creature with random stats.

My point is that 4 isn't that cheap to give something the Growth ability because it can be done for 1.

I understand that, but I think it would still be way  more valuable than a fallen druid when somebody wants the ability to grow. I mean if I wanted to give my emerald dragon grow, I wouldn't try to mutate it, I would play my growth hormone, and the next turn I would give it grow. I think combined with the fact that grow is extremely valuable, and that a fallen elf/druid/ a mutation can not come near it's capabilities. With that in mind one could say, the price is 1 for the cost of mutation from a druid, and 2 for the uniqueness of the card's ability to give "grow" to creatures (ie it is the only card which can give the ability grow) , and 2 for the strength of the ability itself. Grow is very valuable. Just 3 turns with grow is +6/6 to any creature. That is quite a bit of health and attack.

DX My cards are getting pretty poor ratings. I hope it is just one person who really doesn't like my stuff. Anyway. Anybody who reads this stuff, if you would please be so kind as to share your thoughts. If you think it is good as is (as in balanced) even if you don't like it that much, please just share your thoughts. Even if you just flat out hate it, I still would like you to comment. I am getting lots of the same people, which I have nothing against, but I need more than a few people's opinions, because as it is, they are the only ones for whatever reason who are actually giving me suggestions.

repeatable use is too much, may be better received as a one time use spell.
