NAME: Tesla Tower ELEMENT: Aether COST: 5 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 20 TEXT: All spell damage is redirected to Tesla Tower. Any spell damage dealt to Tesla Tower is  inflicted to the opponent.	NAME: Tesla Tower ELEMENT: Aether COST: 6 TYPE: Creature ATK|HP: 2 | 30 TEXT: All spell damage is redirected to Tesla Tower. Any spell damage dealt to Tesla Tower is  inflicted to the opponent.

ART: IDEA: dawn to dusk NOTES: Meh, why not? So its basically armaigo/voodoo doll with spell damage. wasnt sure how to balance this though. -if 2 are out, the last one played has the damage redirected to it. when it dies, the other has spell damage redirected to it. -works with psion -if opponent has a reflect shield, the spell damage is reflected -if an AoE spell is used, the first is redirected to tesla. all others act as normal. -not sure how it would work with rage pot -does not reflect if spell would kill it -if quint and SoW is used on this, it would not attack itself.

Interesting card, but is it really a good idea to make  any more OP ?

[dawn to dusk]

yeah... a couple people have pointed that out so im looking for an element change. gravity was suggested but the armaigo tesla would be OP.

thoughts?

Just gonna leave this here. Pretty similar concept I believe, currently in the armory. Erm, I'm not sure I have anything else to say, which is unusual :S I'm sure I'll think of something.

One possibility I see is to bring in a time-related feature and move it to 
The tower could "accumulate' the damage over time and release it when the tower is destroyed, so the opponent only gets the damage when the tower is destroyed. That would also make it less OP, because time does not have its own in-element CC to destroy it (rewind would not release the accumulated damage).

Crazy weak elements supporter here. Make it life card and all spell damage are redirected as physical damage and heal yourself up to 2(?) hp for each attack?

I was thinking about this idea, but for Gravity, but I just realized that it could be an OP problem with catapult, so I agree that this would be balanced in the time element.

I actually like the idea of this going into more than ... Not that the connection doesn't make sense too, it just appeals more to my physicist side in the element because the earth naturally acts a grounding sink for electricity (spell damage).

Also, gravity is about redirecting physical force, but not necessarily spell damage. While I can see the connection of "pulling" in the electricity, the grounding phenomenon is actually more about spreading and dissipating electricity, not concentrating it... This is why the earth works well as a universal ground, because it provides an enormous surface over which the electrical charge can spread.

Also, to separate it a bit from the voodoo mechanic, what do you think of: "All spell damage is redirected to this creature. Spell damage received is discharged into the victim of the next attack."

Seems legit ^^

If I put it in earth, would a better name be lightning rod or something? I remember a lightning rod being around recently but I'm sure it would be fine
