IDEA:
Guolin
NOTES:
Can only be used on a friendly Dragon.

Hoard/Treasure is a status, like Adrenaline. It coexists with Gravity - e.g. you can have this status on a, say, Ruby Dragon as well as Gravity Pull on, say, a Lava Golem - however, all enemy damage will go to the Dragon first. Playing another Dragon's Hoard/Treasure when Hoard/Treasure is still in effect on a friendly dragon will cause the first status to go away, similar to how Gravity Pull works. Hoard and Treasure share a status trigger - you can play Dragon's Hoard when Treasure in in effect - the first status will still go away. When the status goes away, whether from death or another Dragon's Hoard/Treasure being played, the quanta generation from that dragon goes away.

Have fun attemting to balance this, er, hard-to-balance card? This card is a little confusing, so feel free to ask any questions.

It wasn't confusing until I read your notes...

So it can be played on enemy or friendly dragons? That is kind of cool except that you can't rely on your enemy to have dragons. So I guess it is mostly meant int a deck that has dragons.

However, I am all for ways to make dragons useful. This would allow dragons to pay for their fat butts and become useful so I like it.

Huh, I never thought about putting it on the enemy's dragon. I'm going to limit it to friendly dragons - otherwise, it's just a free gravity pull as long as you can kill the dragon in one turn. (otherwise, you let the opponent get the quanta gain)

It's mostly a little buff for the higher hp dragons that get no love. Basalt + this + BB might be a little too powerful, though.

Gravity Dragon needs this kind of boost. I don't think Chimera really solved the cost/benefit problem of that hefty dragon.

$$$man, yeah actually how would adren work with this?

Maybe I'll let it pass - 3 hp isn't a lot. You'll only get an 11 life profit (if I calculated correctly) if your opponent can do more than 3 damage (lol), plus it took you 3 card spaces for those 11 life. Cremation + Photon is easily better.

I kept Gravity, Basalt, and Golden Dragons in mind for this card. Chimera helped Gravity Dragon as much as Obama helped America (not a whole lot). Not too sure about the Adrenaline though - I don't think it's OP with this card. If it is, I can always disable it from combo'ing with this card.
