ART: Muskrox   IDEA: Zblader NOTES: Original concept done here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=20416.0). A midhitter for Other that counters the possible balance problem of rainbow quanta with a slowing effect that causes it to deal less damage. Cost Calcuation: 1.5+1.5[Elemental Cost] = [Other Cost] Deals 2.5 (~3) damage on average per turn, no other factors. (Elemental cost - 3) 1.5 + 1.5(3) = 1.5 + 4.5 = 6 Other Quanta SERIES:

Is it just me or does its ear look like a face?

[moomoose]

it does.  and a creepy one at that.

Cost Calcuation:
1.5+1.5[Elemental Cost] = [Other Cost]
Deals 2.5 (~3) damage on average per turn, no other factors. (Elemental cost = 2.5)

Elemental cost 2.5 = 1 card + 1.5

  -> 
1.5 + 1.5(1.5) = 1.5 + 2.25 = 3.75 ~= 4 Other Quanta

Total cost: 4 + 1 card.

Rounding happens at the end and draws are a cost too.

I think you should tie it into an element with a secondary ability that is triggered when it successfully attacks. IDK, rainbow mid-range hitters just sound kinda boring to me. Plus, if it deals less damage (because rainbows shouldn't have mid-ranged hitter), then it's not a mid-ranged hitter at all, just a skeleton/asheater ^^;

I have never considered the addition of the Slow ability by itself to be valuable to EtG.

Without a second effect
Cons:
It is balanced as if it didn't have slow but rather had half its attack.
It has decreased synergy with attack buffs, activated abilities, acceleration, liquid shadow and adrenaline.
It does not have any advantage against Shard of Sacrifice.
It does not have synergy with Shard of Patience since delay stacks.
Pros:
It can have 2.5 attack rather than 2 or 3 attack.
DR is about 50% effective.
