ART: http://vampirebrothers.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/29priest1.jpg IDEA: Kakerlake NOTES: I thought about allowing using the ability more than once, though it seems a bit too strong that way. Update: Effect changed. Now reduces max Life and steals Life instead of dealing both Players Damage. "stealing Life" means unavoidable Vampiric Damage.

Explain to me how you think this would be useful? (I am trying to think of a way but can't. I am sure you had something in mind.)

1 per turn for 2 damage is really quite expensive. I could understand if it did equal damage...

[guolin]

I agree with wizel. Besides FG's possibly abusing this card, there really isn't any non-situational benefit. Maybe if you need that end-game kill, but there goes your EM.

[Kakerlake]

Agreed, as it stands now, it seems quite useless.
But if this skill would be allowed to be used more than once, it can deal lots of damage. Of course you'll need lots of healing.

So it's a way for a stall deck to do unavoidable damage, provided you quint it and your opponent doesn't play Fire Shield/Thorn Carapace. Well, it shouldn't be usable several times per turn, but you could increase the damage. Doubt I'd use it over a growing, momentumed, quinted creature though, even when considering how many cards that combo takes. You have a nice concept, however. Something cool could definitely come out of it.

Card redone.
Now it actually seems like a good card =)

Thanks for your comments, they brought me to this Idea ^^

Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement? I will add it to the Crucible Candidates now.

I don't think "steal" is a good word to use here, unless you actually want it to heal you.

That's actually the Idea behind the word "steal".
I thought it sounds kind of crappy if it says: "deals damage and heals you for the same ammount."

[miniwally]

Wouldn't "drain" be a better word?

[Kakerlake]

Erm... it would. Thanks, I'll change it in a sec.

CURATOR COMMENT
-The Element needs to be typed out in words in that section. ' ' means Darkness quanta, not the element Darkness. The two are not interchangeable
-Use the divider or pipe symbol, '|' to split up your values for the ATK|HP section of the table. Do not use a '/' or slash symbol - the table must match the card image in icons as well
-Your art link is broken; did you grab that art from someone?


I suppose this card would be useful for Elemental Mastery, but even then, you're reducing your maximum health, which would reduce the overall benefit of winning a match...

[Kakerlake]

Stuff corrected.

The art was found in google. So I didn't grab it from someon specific, though I'd like to give the artist credit for his work... I'm gonna search for it again.

edit: the link seems to be working again.
