ART: IDEA: skyironsword NOTES: Earthquake only kills one creature. Steal doesn't activate this (might be changed in the future) If there are no creatures, the permanent will get destroyed normally. Arena: Destroy this card if another Arena card comes into play on either side SERIES: Arena

And if there are no cretures, the permanent gets destroyed as usual I guess?

[skyironsword]

I didn't actually think of that. I suppose so. Added to notes.

Edit: I just realized that this is really resistant to PC because they have to go through all your creatures before they can get rid of this thing

Or play another 'arena' type card, I guess.

^ ... well aren't you smart

This is an entire series, so go check out the Series: Arena thread under Series. There are other arena cards with the same effect.

So sadly, the most efficient way to get rid of this card is to play Sky (Efficient. AKA low cost. Sky is 3|2 )

Sure, let's make SoFo and pulvy limitless CC. Just no.

[xsindomanx]

With this card, there is no need to carry CC because PC can kill the creature better. Needs quite a nerfing to make it viable.
For starters, how about the same thing as your entropy arena? Card gets destroyed if there is no creature on the side that the PC is used on.

[skyironsword]

Why would that change anything?

[OdinVanguard]

This is a particularly nasty counter to boneshield.

[skyironsword]

Oh dear... bone wall... that might be a problem

Perhaps bone wall would only activate when the last bone shield is destroyed?

Edit: Wait, no, then it would never be destroyed and it would kill all the attacking creatures. Maybe bone wall would just count as removed and not destroyed.

Insta-kills are a no-no. Also, are you sure you thought this out well enough before posting it? It seems that you've missed a lot of interactions...

What about:

"If a permanent would be destroyed, if there is a <3 HP creature on that side, kill it instead."

You don't have to do 3. I just wanted to make a heart.

[skyironsword]

Instant kills... Ahem, Maxwell's Demon, ahem, devour.

Yeah.

This card is extremely unreliable due to being random. Most likely you'll end up killing an ash eater instead of the lava golem you were going for.
