ART: http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=7381&picture=balancing-rocks Open for submissions. I was thinking some sort of potion bottle made of rock. IDEA: QuantumT NOTES: Not sure if that's the best way to word the effect of the card. Not sure what element would be best suited for this. I was thinking earth because earth is defensive, but gravity could also work because gravity's creatures are also robust. SERIES: N/A

The idea is that anytime a creature with 2+ health would die, it instead lives and has its life set to 1. The effect can trigger multiple times if you have some way of healing the creature.

I am not sure about the effect. Will this save a poisoned creature or give +1 to a creature with 0 health, like a Spark or Ball of Lightning? Or is it an on death effect, like a Pheonix? When you clear that up, I think a clearer explanation of the cards ability will present itself.

Well the idea is that anytime a creature with 2+ health would die, it instead lives and has its life set to 1. The effect can trigger multiple times if you have some way of healing the creature.

Would this happen over and over again to the same creature? If not, it should say "Will only occur once."

I like this card. (I would have preferred this in Death as a zombie like effect. However Earth is a good 2nd home to recursion effects)

My assumptions upon reading it
1) It only triggers if the Full HP is > 1.
(Instead of only if the Current HP> 1)
This means that Infected creatures will recur at least once.

2) Buffs after the first recursion can cause a 2nd recursion.

3) No death effect is triggered? (If it were changed to Death I would change this)
