ART: Luminous Umbra IDEA: Luminous Umbra NOTES: Sturdy: When a creature with Sturdy is dealt damage, the amount of damage dealt is half of what would normally be dealt, rounded up. Sturdy is passive. When a creature changes element, it counts as the element it is changed to and does not count as the element it was until it is destroyed. Any effects that revolve around the element of the creature change after the activation of the card that changes the creature's element. Example: You play Fragment of Earth and target a Black Dragon you control. If you had a Nightfall out, the dragon would lose the +1/+1 bonus after the activation of Fragment of Earth.

Seems mildly costly.  Elements contains surprisingly few Element based cards, Nightfall and Holy Light being the main exceptions.  Perhaps the cost is a bit high?

Perhaps, but Sturdy is a bit of a strong ability, seeing as it makes creatures twice has hard to kill. Were you to stick it on a Chimera with 25 hitpoints, it could take up to 50 points of damage before dying, even more if you had something healing it. It also makes creatures with growth far stronger. It could even be used to counter Flooding/Inundation, as it would change the opponents creatures to Earth, thus making them vulnerable to Flooding/Inundation.

Added poll about cost of this card.

I like the sturdy Passive; I voted to lower the cost. I suggest -1|-1
