I will become your slave for the next thirty seconds if help me find a more fitting name and art.
IDEA:
TuckingFypo.
NOTES:
Yes, this is a serious submission.   :))  The name is just a filler, although it was actually the phrase "useless sidekick" that made me come up with this.

"Useless Sidekick" will enter the board at the START of player's turn.

Any thoughts, balance-wise?  I'm concerned the upgraded version could be a bit OP.

Did you accidentally make a tucking fypo? The upgraded does --not-- seem OP at all. Both versions seem backwards actually.

I think he means with Nightmare.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Yep, with Nightmare.   ^-^  I'll add that in the notes to make things more clear.

Other Nightmare cards have intrinsic value to the owning player. This card needs to have a reason to be used beyond Nightmare.

the unupgrade would actually be funny to use in a rainbow fractal deck.

So this is intended to be used with just Nightmare? :/

Dislike.

Idk, Dune Scorpion + Nightmare + Dis is actually pretty badass.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

As a last resort before this gets sent down the drain, I could raise the cost and stats of the unupped version, maybe 5 attack and 7 cost or something similar.

What's the general consensus on non-elemental cost creatures?  Considering Fractal and all that :0

I like the "auto-play" mechanic, but i dislike the useless creature. Is the upped one less useful than the unupped?  >:( This is so wrong!!!
Give it some dignity!!!  :P

The unupped is actually rather good with cremation in mono fire, even if you don't splash for Nightmare.
The upped may need tweeking so that it can be an ok card on its own.
