The Inevitable - Absolutely Unblockable Damage!

[Bloodshadow]

For those who somehow cannot see the image:

Inevitable: 0/4 (5 Time)
Inevitable: Each turn, 5 damage is dealt to your opponent.
UPGRADE
Doomed: 3/6 (7 Time)
Inevitable: Each turn, 5 damage is dealt to your opponent.

This is the card that I entered for the Card Ideas Competition.

Inevitable is a simplistic creature; it has an ability that deals 5 damage to your opponent every turn. However, this damage cannot be blocked by anything: it is not an attack, therefore it cannot be stopped by Sundial; it is spell-like damage, thus it cannot be blocked by shields. The only way to stop this attack is to lobotomize the creature.
The upgraded card, Doomed, has 3 ATK along with its ability. It can deal 8 damage in total.

Thoughts?

The upgraded card doesn't need a health boost on top of the attack boost. And this is basically just a time version of sapphire charger... a little different, but close enough. It's a decent card, I guess. These plus quintessence or anubis make up to 30 points of unstoppable damage.

The upgraded version gets an HP boost to stop it from being one-shot-killed by Lightning.

It's a little bit scary for me since I still depend on sundials quite a bit. It is quite different from momentum if statis doesn't prevent the damage. I'll have to think about it a bit but my first impression is that 5 damage is way too high even though it takes quite a bit of time quantums to play. Put out several of these with quintessence and it's game over very soon for the other player regardless of bonewalls, phase shields, sundials, etc. and being a creature you can also put up a shield of your own to protect yourself. Even without the quintessence, the upgraded version cannot be killed by lightning as you said.

Then again a speed poison deck might be able to churn out unblockable damage just as quickly. However, poison can be purified but one of these with quintessence cannot. The only way would be to heal faster than the damage is dealt or kill the other player faster. Hmm, I'll have to think about it quite a bit.

See? This card is more powerful than you thought. It is much more powerful than Sapphire Charger.

It's alright

Healing past will work no matter what.

A time/aether with these and elite anubis would be hard to counter.. add some precognitions, and phase shields, and you got unstoppable dmg and almost impenetrable defense..
