Before I crop it, is this one alright?

Looks like Korean D&D this time.

Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed in these type of copyright laws. Whether or not you cite the company art (who's apparently Korean), you need to ensure that it can be used in the public domain freely without having a license to 'distribute' (i.e. - use) the art for other purposes than the game it was originally assigned to.

I believe the curator or Jmizzle will have an answer for your picture shortly.

Yeah, it does sound a bit confusing, but card space is limited. xD

Yes, I figured Water needed a decent hitter (that still works unupped. *stares at Pufferfish*) and some control in the process (see Series). Voodoo Doll's weapon freeze was exactly what gave me the idea for this guy's ability. As for stats, I compared it to the Blue/Abyss Crawler and the Ice/Artic Dragon, the two heavy hitters of Water. At first, I wanted to make the Ice Giant have a much higher attack because of the freeze, but then I finally decided that the weapon freeze warranted 6 attack. (Abyss Crawler is obviously a much better hitter because of the freeze and cost)

Don't get flustered at Pufferfish. He was too damn strong anyway. >_<

That aside, you made some good points on the cost of the card (and a smart move to keep the attack for non-upgraded form as is rather than pumping it up further because of its freeze ability). You did however, forgot to mention the 'endless' potential of a Steam machine's attack-heavy hitting power, even though it requires the opposite element to work right.

Oh, and I know how card space limits everyone. However, do you think that you can shorten it (and thus free up some space) by removing the 'Ice Giant/Blizzard Giant' part from the description? If you think about it, 'Enters play frozen/congealed' is pretty simple to figure out on its own.

Meh, Pufferfish is okay -the Scorpions give some heavy competition.

Steam Machine is duo. I'm trying to improve the chances of mono-water (yes, even with a water mark) to survive.

I'll make the card for now. "...while this is in play as a mortal" should sound better.

New cards are up!

Turns out I did manage to find space by rewording Ice Giant. (in fact, now it is worded more like Fallen Druid)

CURATOR COMMENT

Your image link seems to be dead, can you confirm your source image?

The upgraded version is too much more powerful; you freeze their weapon forever (unless it dies or is quinted).  I suggest "Congeal the opponent's weapon upon playing Blizzard Giant."

For Ice Giant, "The opponent's weapon might be frozen upon playing Ice Giant"

What do you mean?  Ice Giant freezes it until he is Quinted or Killed.  How does that make him so much harder?  I personally think the unupped is better than the upped.

Nvm.  Spamming Blizzard Giants wouldn't be too OP; Most rainbow decks have an RoF.  My suggestion wouldn't take care of spamming problems anyway.

You must also note that the enemy's weapon is automatically defrostd once this guy is quinted, according to my card.

@Kael Hate: The link works perfectly fine for me.

Blizzard Giant's cost should be higher.

Blizzard Giant's cost should be higher.

Blizzard Giant is actually borderline UP as it stands. Remember, it does absolutely no damage for 4 turns (unless you want to sacrifice its control ability), and can be shockwaved in those 4 turns.

This image is used in the Aquamarine card or something like that.

Check the dates of the topics. Mine was definately here first. (I even commented on Aquamarine saying that I had a card with the same image, and the OP took note of that)

But how do we know if the card art was usded first?
