I had an idea, but it can appear in multiple forms: Both spell, and permanent. Please subscribe, witch would be better!

#1

Name: Clear vision
Type: Spell
Cost: Not too much light quantas
Description: The target creature will be able to pierce trough Dust mantle. (So the dust mantle doesnt affect the creature)

#2

Name: Light house (i have two ideas, witch would be better?)
Type: Permanent
Description (v.1.): It gives all creatures of yours the 'clear vision' buff.
Cost(v.1.): Pretty high ammount of light quantas
Description (v.2.): Ability:Enlight - the targeted creature gains 'clear vision' buff
Cost (v.2.): Lower then v.1.

This pic'd be great (the piece with the lighthouse and a bit of the light cone)

Too situational. What happens if the opponent does not have Dusk Mantle? Yeah.. your card is 100% useless.

This is like a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very weak version of the card Momentum.

Picture is cool though...

I guess its the same with purify. And Holy light's damaging ability too. And like holy light, it would simbolise the battle between light and darkness, you know. But whatever.

Purify counters poison, and many card/abilities/creatures do poison.

Your card counters one single card that some mono-darkness decks use.

See the difference?

This card would be the Mother of all situational cards and no one would ever use it. Unless of course if they know for certain that the opponent is going to have Dusk Mantle (how can you know that?), or if they are mentally retarded.

But why is a situational card so bad? If you have a tactic, that can be easily screwed up by a specific card these may come in handy. but then of course, there may be many of these, and if you dont want them, dont buy them. If you think it can help you, buy it. Its that simple. I think.

*EDIT*

Just coz its very annoying when "50%" of your creatures are about to miss, and: your anubis misses, your devonian dragon misses, your crimson dragon misses, your grown scarab misses, and what hits? WHAT?!?!?! A NASTY PHOTON FROM AN EGG! And this is for 3 rounds, then i stole it. What is a crap? That, when i have it, only the weakest creatures (or even no creature) miss, when the AI has 6-7 down! Well, think about this too.

*EDIT*

And no, i do not even use a light deck...

Its not simply useless. Its useless in most situations. But if you dont need protection against a specific card, then do not buy it! A lot of cards like this one would make the game more colorful, because now the decks are just too... similar. When were you last surprised, when the enemy put down a card, or made something? I dont think it was nowadays. (except entrophy of course)

Try "all but one situation." Might also note that this card is useless in pretty much every way, since we have Explosion, Steal, Pulverizer, and mutants that can also destroy and steal. Why bother with a card like this when there are many other ways to remove a Dusk Mantle?

Read his last post. Although useless 99% of time, this card would "make the game more colorful". It might also surprise the opponent.

I would be surprised alright. I would be surprised that someone was dumb enough to take a card like that in their deck. :)

Like I said.. beyond all hope.

While I agree this card is mostly useless, I have a suggestion.

Permanent:

Light House:

Two-Three Light Quantums. Gives greats 'clear vision' buff.

However, I think clear vision should have an 80-90% chance of working, affect both dusk mantel and fog shield, and also affect all other shields 10-20%. Just to make it less situational.

So we would have a new card that was a luck based crappy version of Momentum? Sounds great.

Instead of trying to desperately get this (bad) idea to work, why can't we just admit that this won't work and move on?

Sigh

Its not a crappy version of momentum since it would affect ALL of the monsters, duh.

Also, "There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm." ;)
