NAME: Scatter Shard ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 6 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The target shard will function as a random shard each turn	NAME: Scatter Shard ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: The target shard will function as a random shard each turn

ART: moomoose IDEA: moomoose NOTES: potentially works for any permanent/creature shard in play.  when a shard's active effect is something like air's it will function as such for that turn.  when it is a spell or creature shard with an ability, it will have the ability of that shard for that one turn, with costs of 1 of the element of the shard which it is representative of. if the target shard is part of a stack, it will operate similar to nymphs tears on a stack of pillars, that is to say remove one and make it a new card in the field.

Is this not super, super situational? Especially since it can only be used on shards and it has such a high cost (near antimatter cost).

So this works on SoP, SoFo, and SoG, SoV, and SoFr. Considering that many of the shards are spells, using this on one will likely make it disappear the next turn for an effect you might not have needed, (or would be wasted, ex. SoW or SoR with the lack of a proper target)

Maybe to solve the situationality usage you can add "Decompose Shard Golem", even if it will not solve the problem entirely.

no.  when it turns into a shard that is previously a spell, it has a cost attached to use that spell that turn, staying as either a creature or permanent depending on which shard it was initially.  but next turn, it stays, and gives the ability of something else.

actually having it turn to a spell shard and disappear is better I think. it can be used to get rid of other shards you dont like in a way. soft control, have it function at the start of the  turn, so the player can pick a target.

[moomoose]

not a fan of using it as 'shard control', too small a subset to be useful.  i like the idea of entropy turning one of your own shards into a random subset of shards for the duration of the game (or until it itself is removed) more than that.  however, if the opponent is using one type of shard for the crux of their strategy (SoF, for example) it could still be used to dismantle their strategy as currently designed, as well.

[Rutarete]

It works on the whole stack?

[moomoose]

if it is a stacked shard, it would just take one aside from the stack.  good point, ill add that to the notes.
