ART: N/A IDEA: EvaRia NOTES: This replaces your mark, so it can't be targeted, and you can only ever play one. There is an equivalent card for every element.   Scotomancy   Necromancy   Hydromancy   Aeromancy   Astromancy   Biomancy   Chronomancy   Baromancy   Geomancy   Pyromancy   Chaomancy   Photomancy This, if ever implemented, would be as rare as nymphs/mark cards. Counts as a mark of it's element with pendulums. I need some feedback on cost/ability cost. SERIES:

How does this work with pendulums?

[EvaRia]

Probably pendulums just assume it's a fire mark, or whatever element it is.

i like the card, but i dont see how something as simple as replacing your mark for one spell should be a rare card, that is the only thing i  upon
Remember, Rarity means nothing when it comes to whether a card is balanced or not, and it is perfectly balanced as it is. if you really want it to be rare, call it a shard and give it the effect of "generate one random spell matching your mark's element" but i doubt you will

[EvaRia]

Not one spell, its an active ability that you can use every turn.

Right now it's free, but it's prone to change.

Rarity is just flavor, besides, there would be no real point to include like 6 of these in your deck anyways.

[Uppercut]

I'm generally against cards being as rare as nymph and mark cards. I also don't like the idea of perpetual card advantage.

[joebob777]

ok then, slightly less balanced in ym mind, but still no reason for it to be rare

[EvaRia]

Rarity out of flavor, again.

There's no reason for mark cards to be rare, but they are.

These are just Mark cards that do something else. If more people are REALLY that against it, I can make it common though.

[Uppercut]

There's no reason for mark cards to be rare, but they are.

Yeah, I know, and they shouldn't be rare.

wow wow!! this idea is awesome. You could do a serie, a new mark for each mark.
I think pendulums shouldn't work for this mark (a handicap) but make it powerful (as it is). The cost is fine as 0, just replace your mark.
And if you agree to do the rest of marks, entropy one could get a random mark.

There is an equivalent card for every element.

I just chose to use fire as a random example, sort of cause "Pyromancy" sounds good.

It may have to cost something, but the main balance points are rarity to a degree, play limit, mark replacement, hand limit, and randomness. I'm not sure, it may be enough.
EDIT: Another balance point is, of course, that every element gets an equivalent.

It would be a great extra card to stick in a deck, but not really designed to be central to your strategy.

I'm guessing the names would be something like this:
 
  Scotomancy
  Necromancy
  Hydromancy
  Aeromancy
  Astromancy
  Biomancy
  Chronomancy
  Baromancy
  Geomancy
  Pyromancy
  Chaomancy
  Photomancy

If you have a list of names, could you put them in the notes?
