NOTES:
other time magic would make it stronger too once implemented. Its a really weird form of growth and rewinding it just heals it, moreso it puts it back into play with its current maximum stats, which would trigger any rewind or creature enters play events. and to make things fun those happen in reverse order right.

This could be very strong in combination with  Earth and/or Gravity.  Basilisk Blood gives both an immediate defense boost and triggers the delay growth effect with one card, while you can still remove the effect any time you choose by rewinding it.  Then once it's large enough to survive each turn's attack, Gravity Pull on it.  This and the ability for removing damage is sweet.

yeah, I see what you are saying, I gave it some thought. You need to consider, it doesn't gain the Growth until the delay counter is removed. In other words, it gains only +4|+3 once a turn, during the time it spends in the 'time bubble' or otherwise delayed.

You have to wait for it to get big.

It does have its uses, but with only six gravity pulls, you are better off with armagio or big dragons.

I think it has potential, that is what this is really about, potential. It is weak to several forms of creature control, in particular Entropy, which can mutate it into something else or use maxwell to Paradox it once it is too big. Now a little armor or basilisk blood does go a long way, but if you keep it material to utilize its abilities beyond countering Procrastination, its weak to CC, especially druids and mutation. The key is to kill it early, before it amasses power.


I liked the idea of using it with BB Epi Momentum and Quint, 27|22 like 3 turns after you play it. Thats a five card combo which justifies its brutish power. You wont be able to heal or buff it any further, leave the momentum off it opponent is using turtle or Proc for autogrowth.

What I liked about it was using it in a Sundial Stall and just being able to heal it with Rewind/Eternity. Nice with Crusaders that way :)

Yeah, it's very strong but needs either a several card combo or...time to become that way so it is actually balanced pretty well.  The high cost(if anything, this is probably actually a bit TOO high given the low starting stats)  would also make it difficult to play in a rainbow, which is good as it somewhat limits how easily you could combine it with the other cards.  Best use would probably be a trio using earth and gravity pendulums

Considering it requires at least a 2 card combo to be very useful I would lower the cost even if given the right combo it can become very strong, considering it cost more than a dragon it's not very efficient.

Question: are the skills passive? If so accelerate would be and interesting combo given it heals when rewound
